Let it be said that even the diehards are disengaging from the man
made global warming bandwagon.
Once again for the record. There are two phenomena. Global
temperatures rose a half degree or so through 1995 and then
plateaued. They are prospectively now poised to decline sharply.
That may take an additional decade but it looks like a decline is
likely.
While this has been going on, the human production of CO2 has
steadily climbed without a serious pause. There is now likely twice
as much CO2 been added to the atmosphere today as was put out twenty
years ago. Therefore the most tortured thinker is forced to
acknowledge that they are not plausibly linked at all.
And of course Mr Hansen is also retiring.
Just how was it possible for this huge wad of pseudo science to
become the founding document of what was actually a global political
party dreaming 'The Internationale'? Does anyone really understand
that they were selling us the weather?
Triad of warmists
relent
APRIL 14, 2013
BY: PAUL TAYLOR
Three of the most
vocal and persistent global warming propagandists have been
hushed and hopefully humbled by three realities since their
coronations as progressive environmental icons a decade ago. Two
of these warmists have resigned the Obama administration
after one term – Energy Secretary Steven Chu and U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa Jackson.
Physics Ph.D. and
Nobel Prize-winner Chu distinguished himself in California with calls
for untested government renewable energy mandates and costly CO2
cap-and-trade regulations. Chu is an eco-radical tree hugger, and
authentic tree sitter. In 2007, he was among six U.C. Berkeley
academics who climbed into campus trees to protest global warming for
a Vanity Fair photo spread.
Lisa Jackson, Obama’s
chief of the EPA, led our nation’s preeminent government
environmental regulator in the most radical green initiatives of the
40-year history of the EPA. Massive new regulations from Jackson
would restrict power plants, industrial plants, mining, refineries
and automakers, and as with all environmental regulations embed more
costs in all goods, services and activities in America in exchange
for negligible or symbolic environmental benefits. Jackson also has
admitted to unlawfully keeping anonymous e-mail accounts for
conducting government regulatory affairs.
Third among the
relenting warmists is U.N. Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) Chairman Dr. Rajendra Pachauri.
Under Pachauri, the IPCC has been the primary organization for global
climate change research funding and greenhouse gas control
initiatives. Pachauri was jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize with
Al Gore in 2007. Like Gore, Pachauri has exploited his climate
crusading to acquire a global portfolio of business investments and
relationships that stand to reap billions of dollars from IPCC
policies. Pachauri, an Indian engineer with a Ph.D in economics, has
been the principal promoter of the U.N.’s apocalyptic narrative
that global warming from manmade greenhouse gases is an immediate and
existential threat to life on Planet Earth. Also like Gore, Pachauri
has no credentials in climate science.
These three prominent
warmists gained global celebrity status by systematically
stoking climate hysteria among socialist politicians in the U.S.
Democrat Party, the United Nations and European Union Parliaments.
However, today’s three realities of new climate science, decades
of recent climate behavior and global economic recession have
required the triad of warmist leaders to relent, resign and
retreat in their tone and details describing climate change.
Green global activists
and their partisan, gullible media enablers would have us believe
that climate change should be the highest priority for government
action irrespective of the debilitating costs and speculative, if
any, benefits to the environment or mankind.
Global warming and
theoretical climate change will be seen as the most perverse,
partisan and cynical political distraction of the 21st century.
