Reported By www.telegraph.co.uk on 2015-10-11 — “We might think a proposal to an international conference of top judges – assembled in the highest courtroom in Britain – for a ruling to ‘scotch’ claims that challenge the ‘consensus’ on manmade global warming was odd enough to be worthy of front-page coverage…. The fact that it could be seriously proposed in the highest courtroom in the land that the law should now be used to help suppress any further debate on what has become one of the most contentious issues in the history of science (greeted with applause from the distinguished legal audience) speaks volumes about the curious psychological state to which the great global warming scare has reduced so many of the prominent figures who today exercise power and influence over the life of our Western societies….”

Scientist who urged government to sue climate skeptics gets millions from taxpayers
Reported By Fox News on 2015-10-07
A key signatory of a petition calling for government to sue companies that question climate change has pulled the letter from his institute’s website amid revelations his family reaped $500,000 in salary and benefits last year from the government-funded organization…. Last year, tax records show that Shukla received a $333,000 salary and benefits from an organization he created called the ‘The Institute of Global Environment and Society’ – a group that gets 90 percent of its revenue from government grants. His wife also received $166,000 in compensation from the group over the same period…. The organization has been operating since 1991, and total payments from the group to the Shuklas since 2001 (the most recent year records are available) amount to $5.6 million, according to an analysis of old returns by the Free Beacon….”
A new low in science: Criminalizing climate change skeptics
Reported By Fox News on 2015-09-28
“Dismayed by what they see as a lack of progress on the implementation of climate policies that they support … 20 scientists sent a letter to the White House calling for their political opponents to be investigated by the government…. The demand by Senator Whitehouse and the 20 climate scientists for legal persecution of people whose research on science and policy they disagree with represents a new low in the politicization of science. The role of these 20 scientists is particularly troubling. The consequence of this persecution … is to make pariahs of scientists who are doing exactly what we expect of researchers: to critically evaluate evidence and publish that work in the scientific literature…. What these 20 scientists have done with their letter is the worst kind of irresponsible advocacy. Attempts by powerful people to silence other scientists, especially in this brutal fashion, is a recipe for stifling scientific progress and for making poor policies….”
Radicals advising Pope Francis on Climate Change
Reported By www.climatedepot.com on 2015-09-24
“The Vatican relied on advisors who are the most extreme elements in the global warming debate. These climate advisors are so far out of the mainstream they even make some of their fellow climate activists cringe…The Vatican advisors can only be described as a brew of anti-capitalist, pro-population control advocates who allow no dissent and are way out of the mainstream of even the global warming establishment….”
Approximately 66% of global surface temperature data consists of estimated values
Reported By wattsupwiththat.com on 2015-09-24
“Overall, from 1880 to the present, approximately 66% of the temperature data in the adjusted GHCN temperature data consists of estimated values produced by adjustment models, while 34% of the data are raw values retained from direct measurements…. The estimates produced by NOAA for the GHNC data introduce a warming trend of approximately a quarter degree C per century…. Approximately 7% of the raw data is discarded. If this data were included as-is in the final record it would likely introduce a warming component from 1880 to 1950, followed by a cooling component from 1951 to the present….”
Shocking Study Reveals Melting Sea Ice Near North Pole … in 1818
Reported By The Blaze on 2015-08-10
“No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape the constant media barrage of dire climate change warnings…. Not only do they say warming is unquestionably happening, they tell us climate scientists are convinced it’s going to destroy us all…. Only the most selfish among us can ignore the scientific facts, we’re told. The debate is over…. but the idea reducing our carbon dioxide emissions, and by a relatively insignificant amount compared to global emissions, will have any real influence on global temperature is pure, unadulterated fantasy. Not only is there absolutely no evidence
none, zero, zilch
cutting human-produced carbon-dioxide emissions will actually reverse global temperature, the claims made about global warming are greatly exaggerated at best and deliberately misleading and dangerous at worst….”
25 Years of Predicting the Global Warming ‘Tipping Point’
Reported By dailycaller.com on 2015-05-04
“For decades now, those concerned about global warming have been predicting the so-called ‘tipping point’
the point beyond which it’ll be too late to stave off catastrophic global warming. It seems like every year the ‘tipping point’ is close to being reached, and that the world must get rid of fossil fuels to save the planet. That is, until we’ve passed that deadline and the next such ‘tipping point’ is predicted….”
Happy Earth Day 2015: The Earth is doing just fine, thank you
Excerpted from an article by Stephen Moore, published April 22, 2015 by Fox News
Wednesday, April 22 is Earth Day. To hear the experts like Usher and Al Gore tell the story, the planet is in a miserable state. We’re running out of our natural resources, we’re overpopulating the globe and running out of room, the air that we breathe is becoming toxic, the oceans are rising and soon major coastal cities will be underwater, and the Earth is, of course, heating up, except when it is cooling down.
This is perhaps the single greatest misinformation campaign in world history. Virtually none of these claims are even close to the truth — except for the fact that our climate is always changing as it has for hundreds of thousands of years.
Since the first Earth Day back in the 1970s, the environmentalists — those who worship the creation rather than the Creator have issued one false prediction of Armageddon after another and yet despite the fact that their batting average is zero, the media and our schools keep parroting their declinism as if they were oracles not shysters.
Here are the factual realities we should be celebrating on Earth Day….
Global Warming and Why We Do or Don’t Believe Science
Excepted from an article by Alasdair Denvil, published April 21, 2015 by The Blaze
… We’re told over and over how 97 percent of climate scientists believe that humans are causing global warming, so therefore we should, too. Comedian-pundit John Oliver has said (only semi-jokingly) that it’s misleading for climate change advocates to debate skeptics one-on-one, as it implies there is a 50-50 split on the issue. (Instead, Oliver says it should be 97 advocates against three skeptics.)
But this misses the point.
In sports – drawn-out playoff schedules aside – the championship isn’t determined by who has the greatest percentage of fans rooting for it; it’s determined by which team has the highest percentage of wins. Likewise, in science, what counts isn’t the percentage of scientists who are supporting a theory, it’s the theory’s batting average when it comes to making true predictions.
That in mind, you don’t rally the public to your cause with gimmicks like putting 100 climate scientists on stage (or flying mailmen, for that matter: never send a gyrocopter to do the work of an evil hovercraft). If you want to convince people about the science behind global warming, show us how the science keeps accurately describing how the world is going to behave.
But that’s not what we get. Instead we get a decade-or-more plateau in temperatures even as carbon dioxide levels keep rising steadily. And we get the refining of the prediction of “global warming” to “global weirding”….
