The Changing Face Of (Climate) Change

[threegee]

So... the icebreaker that was to rescue the stuck Russian ship is stuck in the Antarctic ice!

 

This brings to mind the news that there's a massive 50% more ice in the Arctic this Summer than last.  If you remember last year we were told it was global warming surely to blame; this year the "excess ice" is simply normal seasonal variation.  The same instantly variable spin which differentiates climate from weather I think!

Climate Change: A terribly important, yet elusive, phenomenon that warrants countless billions of others people's money being spent on wholly ineffective and vain attempts to influence nature.  But, once a minuscule proportion of those costs are billed to the concerned party, instantly reduces in importance, and becomes a gross imposition.

Just goes to show how flawed all that 'expert opinion' has been.  

 

Bit like Windscale, just change the lead name to climate change instead of global warming.

Very interesting read here for anyone who can manage to wade through it all: http://climatesense-norpag.blogspot.it/

Just the first few paragraphs are very instructive.  It's interesting that Ike (President Eisenhower) foresaw some of the problems we have today way back in 1961.  Guess he'd been round the block a few times by then.
 

 

we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific technological elite.

 

What he likely didn't foresee was just how far said "scientific technological elite" would be prepared to go in massaging and cherry-pick data sets to suit their unscientific purposes. To the extent that some "scientific research and discovery" could no longer be held in respect, and would become akin to political dogma.

 

How long are our politicos prepared to buy into the current delusion?  Well, there are sure signs that the more intelligent ones are backtracking, and the less intelligent ones have sensed that a climb-down could be coming, and that self-preservation means that the best strategy is simply to avoid any discussion. That, of course, doesn't apply to Prince Chucky. His right royal mindset now appears to extend to cohorts of "climate change deniers" bullying ordinary souls into acceptance of their unscientific ideas.

 

Have you noticed how anyone who questions the official line is now branded as a "denier".  A holocaust denier; a biblical denier of Christ;  a climate change denier; all one and the same bunch of fruit cakes!  In fact no one is denying climate change (that escape artist formerly known as Global Warming). Change is what climate does, and true scientists accept no less!  But, controlling all the vocabulary (together with controlling the media and shutting down serious debate) sneaks the climate change industry under ever higher logical and observational hurdles.
