James E. Hansen wiped sweat from his brow. Outside it was a record-high 98 degrees on June 23, 1988, as the NASA scientist testified before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources during a prolonged heat wave, which he decided to cast as a climate event of cosmic significance. He expressed to the senators his “high degree of confidence” in “a cause-and-effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and observed warming.”

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
The prophetic book about another Ice Age coming from the 1970’s (I forgot the exact year), precedes any ‘global warming’ talk, and had more credence to it.
how tacky is this guy...and the world leaders who meet with him?

the Circular Economy rubbish is just another globalist fantasy:
24 Jan: EllenMacarthurFoundation: The Ellen MacArthur Foundation signs new agreement with UN Environment
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation has entered into a new agreement with the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), the leading global environment authority, to scale up and accelerate the shift towards a circular economy. Such an economy supports sustainable consumption and production systems which are central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Today, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in Davos, Ellen MacArthur and Erik Solheim, Executive Director of UN Environment, announced an agreement that will see the organisations focus their joint efforts on stimulating public-private sector engagement with circular economy solutions. This will include strengthening the scientific basis for policy decisions, including at city level, to decouple economic development from environmental degradation...
The announcement was made alongside the launch of the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Accelerating the Circular Economy (PACE), for which the Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a Knowledge Partner and is represented at board level. PACE brings together companies, organisations and governments to create innovative partnerships that drive actions at global and regional levels to decouple economic growth from resource use.
The circular economy is also of particular interest to the International Resource Panel, a group of eminent scientists, expert in the technical and socio-economic issues around resource management, set up by United Nations Environment in 2007, to build and share the knowledge necessary to improve resource use globally...

22 Jun: Daily Caller: SCOOP: Congress Demands EPA Investigate Potential Collusion With Lobbyists To Thwart Trump’s Agenda
by Michael Bastasch
Republican lawmakers are demanding the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspector general’s office investigate alleged collusion between agency officials and lobbyists to undermine the Trump administration’s deregulatory agenda.
Four GOP lawmakers and the chair of a powerful House subcommittee want to know why EPA officials worked with trucking lobbyists on a study that was never approved by administration officials, yet obtained and touted by opponents of repealing regulations on refurbished heavy-duty truck engines.
“When EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt repealed the current glider rule, career employees at the EPA communicated with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with the intent of eliminating the glider industry,” four GOP lawmakers, led by Rep. Bill Posey of Florida, wrote to EPA Inspector General Arthur Elkins.
“In our opinion, EPA’s conduct undermines the current Administration’s policies and prevents the repeal of the rule,” Republicans wrote to Elkins in a letter sent Thursday that was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation...

They can’t even accurately predict tomorrow’s weather and I’m suppose to believe they can predict what will happen 30 years from now based upon “models” developed by people wanting to prove global warmining?
That’s how he got rich.
So what’s the Cliff Notes summary of the article? does the WSJ claim the doomsayers are on the mark?
Have the polar ice caps melted? NO
Have islands been swallowed up by rising sea levels? NO
Has there been a dramatic increase in hurricanes? NO
Has there been a world-wide famine-causing drought? NO
Are temperatures fluctuating in greater deltas? NO
Have there been mass extinctions of plant and wildlife? NO
So the bottom line is Gore and the other snake-oil salesmen have not only been wrong, they have been HORRIBLY WRONG.
These fear-mongers should be sued into poverty by every person, company and government that have wasted trillions of dollars on this scam. Then they should be tried, convicted and sentenced to prison until their predictions come true.
Soylent Green started all the global warming crap.
Add to the sun’s activity the earth’s orbit is not circular plus the earth wobbles on it’s axis, our ocean tides are influenced by the moon, volcanic eruptions spew greenhouse gasses, and you have enough variables to overcome any miniscule man-made activity.
When will he be attending to Doo Rag Festival?
That and huge piles of Apple stock for pennies on the dollar.
This was posted yesterday. Same as yesterdays post, can not read the article without a subscription?
Predictions are as good as the research.
When the weather is _________ than average, it is proof of man made climate change. When the _________ ice sheet is __________, it is consistent with models and proof showing climate change.
Actually it was THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT from the 1960s.
No, the WSJ says that the models were way off (too pessimistic). Models predicted Greenland ice would melt raising sea levels 25 or so feet, which of course didn’t happen. Warming of any sort stopped around 2000, although CO2 levels continued to climb. Government policy should take all of this into account, and people shouldn’t have to be taxed in order to pay for CO2 reductions when there is no warming.
The Exit Glacier in Alaska continues to recede as it has done since US government records began in 1896
