The warmaholics' fantasy | The Australian

THE warmaholics are fond of using the phrase "official records going back to 1850", but the simple facts are that prior to the 1970s, surface-based temperatures from a few indiscriminate, mostly backyard locations in Europe and the US are fatally corrupted and not in any sense a real record.

They are then further doctored by a secret algorithm to account for heat-island effects. Reconstructions such as the infamously fraudulent "hockey stick" are similarly unreliable.

Science is only about certainty and facts. The real question is in acknowledging the end of fossil fuels within the next 200 years or so: how do we spend our research time and dollars?

Do we spend it on ideologically green-inspired publicity campaigns such as emissions-trading schemes based on the fraud of the IPCC, or do we spend it on basic science that could lead us to energy self-sufficiency based on some combination of solar, geothermal, nuclear and renewable sources? The alternative is to go back to the stone age.

Expensive alleged global "warming" solution suffers "catastrophic" failure in cold

On Saturday night an Ecotricity wind turbine (similar to those being proposed at Silton in Dorset) at their Fen Farm site in Conisholme, North East Lincolnshire, suffered a catastrophic structural failure in the freezing conditions.

Two huge blades were severely damaged after apparently making contact with the tower. One blade fell to the ground only after shedding large pieces of debris from height and over a wide area.

The base of the tower now shows signs of a major impact as the blade smashed through the entrance structure at ground level before rolling into the neighbouring field.
