The Age of Stupid

Nick, I can quote you just as many -
Here are but a few things I've collected over the last few weeks -

A Greenpeace leader admits to lying about Arctic melt

Now more and more scientists are coming out -

A group of senior physicists, including a Nobel Prize winner, have put their names to a letter rejecting claims that evidence of human caused global warming is “incontrovertible”, and suggesting the role of CO2 has been overhyped.

31,000 scientists last year did the same thing.

A scientist from MIT has just come out and published a paper “which proves that IPCC models are overstating by 6 times, the relevance of CO2 in Earth’s Atmosphere".

The global surface temperature record, which we update and publish
every month, has shown no statistically-significant “global warming”
for almost 15 years. Statistically-significant global cooling has now
persisted for very nearly eight years. Even a strong el Nino – expected
in the coming months – will be unlikely to reverse the cooling trend.

More significantly, the ARGO bathythermographs deployed
throughout the world’s oceans since 2003 show that the top 400
fathoms of the oceans, where it is agreed between all parties that at
least 80% of all heat caused by manmade “global warming” must
accumulate, have been cooling over the past six years. That now prolonged
ocean cooling is fatal to the “official” theory that “global
warming” will happen on anything other than a minute scale.

The Climate Research Unit in the UK, that has collected the climate change data since the 1980s first refused to share the raw data so that it may be peer reviewed by other experts, saying “Even if WMO agrees, I will still not pass on the data. We have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it.”, and now they claim they have erased it completely. How convenient.

A scientist in Australia has found that sea levels AREN’T rising –

SEA LEVEL IN THE SOUTHWEST PACIFIC IS STABLE
Posted 4 August 2009

“Graphs of sea level for twelve locations in the southwest Pacific show stable sea level for about ten years over the region. The data … suggest that any rise of global sea level is negligible….. Sea level studies have not been carried out for very long, but they can indicate major tectonic components such as isostatic rebound in Scandinavia. ..Modelling to show alarming rates of sea level rise (associated with alleged global warming) are not supported by primary regional or global data. Even those places frequently said to be in grave danger of drowning, such as the Maldives, Tuvalu and Holland, appear to be safe”. – New paper by Cliff Ollier, University of Western Australia.

Even Australia looks likely not to follow through with their Carbon reduction programme –

The very last thing the Australian economy needs is the cap and trade legislation being proposed by Kevin Rudd. If it gets passed, the country will go broke.’

Not for one second does Plimer believe it will get passed. As with its US equivalent the Waxman-Markey cap and trade bill, Kevin Rudd’s Emission Trading Scheme legislation narrowly squeaked its way through the House of Representatives. But again as in America, the real challenge lies with the upper house, the Senate. Thanks in good measure to the influence of Plimer and his book — ‘I have politicians ringing me all the time’ — the Senate looks likely to reject the bill. If it does so twice, then the Australian government will collapse, a ‘double dissolution’ will be forced and a general election called. ‘Australia is at a very interesting point in the climate change debate,’ says Plimer.

Noticing a trend? People aren't falling for this stuff anymore, especially scientists.

I'm afraid that human-caused Climate change, like this film, is pure science fiction.
