Hansen Explains The Missing IQ | Real Science

A couple of months ago the missing heat was due to Chinese aerosols. Now it is due to Pinatubo aerosols from 20 years ago.

Earth to Jim – Pinatubo aerosols were gone by 1995. There has been essentially no warming since then.

Climate 'scam' holdouts linger | The Clarion-Ledger | clarionledger.com

Reading Eugene Robinson's column ("Climate change summit made a breakthrough, of sorts," Dec. 18) reminded me of the Japanese holdout soldiers who either were unaware that Japan had surrendered or thought the news reports of the surrender were not real.

The existence of hundreds of holdouts has been well documented. One famous holdout, Hiroo Onoda, surrendered in 1973, 29 years after the war officially ended.

In similar fashion, Mr. Robinson is a global warming holdout. For whatever reason, Mr. Robinson is unaware of the giant scam that is global warming. The rest of the world has learned about the rigged data, faulty and poorly placed thermometers, the East Anglia emails, the continual failure of grim predictions to come true (Katrina was the start of more common and devastating storms), the scientists who are speaking out against global warming and its adherents, the earth's gradual cooling over the last decade, the hypocrisy of the movement leaders, etc., yet Mr. Robinson is either unaware or chooses not believe the evidence.

50 scientists, eh? | New Hampshire LOCALVOICES03

It is a funny little bit of propaganda made all the more humorous by its labeling as "scientists" a historian, a sociologist, two political scientists, a professor of health economics, several civil engineers, two medical doctors, and some Ph.D. candidates.

Nothing says "We are serious scientists; heed our doomsday predictions!" quite like the overstating of credentials. If they'll overstate their credentials, then why wouldn't they overstate the connection between recent weather events and human behavior?

Nonetheless, the petition got written up in The Hill, which lent it some undue legitimacy. Voters ought to ignore it.
