Al Fin: New Study Revolutionises Atmospheric Science

Of course, informed persons already understood that the huge gaps in understanding of atmospheric processes made current climate models worse than worthless. It is only those who stood to profit from climate alarmism--along with the supremely gullible and academically lobotomised--who carried the alarmist banner so belligerently.

As the infant science of climatology slowly becomes a bona fide science, a better understanding of the authentic processes of climate will emerge.

Bloomberg’s Assault on Wild Birds | OpenMarket.org

Energy expert Robert Bradley Jr. notes that the country’s largest wind farm in Contra Costa California, called Altamont Pass, kills hundreds of birds every year. He notes: “On a percentage basis, the mortality rate per year at Altamont Pass under the estimate is eight times greater than the bald eagle kill from the Valdez oil spill in Prince William Sound in 1989, and it recurs every year.” The Center for Biological Diversity explains that the wind farm is particularly problematic because is located in a migratory route. They estimate that the wind turbines kill about 880 to 1,300 birds of prey each year, which includes 116 golden eagles, 300 red-tailed hawks, 380 burrowing owls, we well as hundreds kestrels, falcons, vultures, and owls. While wind farms in other locations might not pose as large-scale problems, explanation of this energy source would surely have drawbacks for avian wildlife. Bradley, for example reports similar problems with avian mortality in Europe.

CO2sceptics News Blog | Letter: Climate change-alternative energy

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been discredited in recent years, particularly in the last two years. In fact, there is nowhere near a scientific consensus on the dramatic and sensational claims made by this panel.

Their famous “hockey stick” shaped graph of recent world temperatures has been shown to be fraudulent. Their mathematical models on long term climate change, which I have looked at, are packed with guesses, called “parameterizations” to replace unknown and unmeasurable quantities and feedback gains which are needed by the models.

The McCreary County Record - The Bottom Line: Global What?

I remember vividly as a child the reports on the evening news that were sounding the alarm that global cooling was eminent. One particular interview that stands out in my mind was with a meteorologist that claimed that “we as a nation will be in the early stages of a new ice age by 1995.” Thirteen years have passed since that prediction was supposed to come to pass, and now they are claiming that the world is getting hotter. I have come to the conclusion that the world is not trending in either a hot or cold direction, but is rather cyclical in its weather patterns. I have come to a similar conclusion with regard to the alarmist message of environmentalists. I am convinced that by the time that my grandsons have children, the environmental concern will once again be “global cooling.”

Still More Peer-Reviewed Studies Contradict Global Warming Alarmism - by Compiled by Peter Risdon - The Heartland Institute

Despite what many global warming alarmists assert in the media, there are many articles in the world's leading science publications contradicting the assertion that "the debate is over" about global warming. These articles destroy the illusion that there is a "consensus" among scientists about the causes of global warming. The following is the third of a three-part list of many such articles.Compiled by Peter Risdon...

Forecasting based on climate change is delusional

The only predictable thing about global warming is that it won't negate our weather's unpredictability, writes John Waters

THE IDEA seems to be taking hold that climate change will render the Irish weather more predictable and that we'll never see a dry August day again. Anyone who has lived more than a week or two in this country knows that this is delusional.
