Global Warming Science Proven As Fraud
World’s Leading Scientist Fighting Against Global Warming is Opposed to Cap And Trade
Washington’s Blog
Friday, Dec 4th, 2009
James Hansen is the world’s leading climate scientist fighting against global warming.
Yesterday, Dr. Hansen told the Guardian:
He is vehemently opposed to the carbon market schemes – in which permits to pollute are bought and sold – which are seen by the EU and other governments as the most efficient way to cut emissions and move to a new clean energy economy.
Therefore, Hansen says:
It would be better for the planet and for future generations if next week’s Copenhagen climate change summit ended in collapse.
I have repeatedly pointed out that cap and trade won’t work. Indeed:
The economists who invented cap-and-trade say that it won’t work for global warming
Many environmentalists say that carbon trading won’t effectively reduce carbon emissions
European criminal investigators have determined that there is a tremendous amount of fraud occurring in the carbon trading market.
Our bailout buddies over at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and the other Wall Street behemoths are buying heavily into carbon trading (see this, this, this, this, this and this). As University of
Maryland professor economics professor and former Chief Economist at the U.S. International Trade Commission Peter Morici writes:
Obama must ensure that the banks use the trillions of dollars in federal bailout assistance to renegotiate mortgages and make new loans to worthy homebuyers and businesses. Obama must make certain that banks do not continue to squander federal largess by padding executive bonuses, acquiring other banks and pursuing new high-return, high-risk lines of businesses in merger activity, carbon trading and complex derivatives. Industry leaders like Citigroup have announced plans to move in those directions. Many of these bankers enjoyed influence in and contributed generously to the Obama campaign. Now it remains to be seen if a President Obama can stand up to these same bankers and persuade or compel them to act responsibly.
In other words, the same companies that made billions off of derivatives and other scams and are now getting bailed out on your dime are going to make billions from carbon trading.
And it won’t work.

Global Warming Science Proven As Fraud
Gore Peddles Lies and Spin to Defend Bankrupt Climate Change Agenda
Having been forced to cancel his speech at the Copenhagen summit, carbon billionaire Al Gore found the time to leave the comfort of his 20 bedroom power-guzzling mansion to address the Climategate scandal, before letting loose another deluge of lies and spin in defense of his collapsing global warming fraud.
Gore claims that the ClimateGate emails have been taken out of context and that , “The most recent one is more than 10 years old.”
As Andrew Bolt documents, Gore repeated the claim that the emails were over 10 years old no less than three times.
“In fact, as Watts Up With That shows, one Climategate email was from just two months ago. The most recent was sent on November 12 – just a month ago: http://www.free-the-memes.net/writings/ ... Gate2.html
The emails which have Tom Wigley seeming (to me) to choke on the deceit are all from this year: http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andr ... e_whistle/
Phil Jones’ infamous email urging other Climategate scientists to delete emails is from last year.”: http://co2realist.com/2009/11/28/phil-j ... f-context/
“How closely did Gore read these emails? Did he actually read any at all? Was he lying or just terribly mistaken? What else has he got wrong?”
“Al Gore apparently has no command of the most basic details of anything related to Earth and climate,” writes Anthony Watts: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2009/12/08/a ... years-old/
“His last idiotic gaff in the media was that the temperature of the Earth 2 kilometers or so down was millions of degrees! Apparently, Slate editors who look equally like dufuses for printing this dreck didn’t notice his latest one either. Maybe all those trips around the world in the private jet have damaged his ability to tell the time and date? Too many trip across the International Dateline perhaps?”
In an interview with CNN today, Gore repeated the lie that the ClimateGate emails were all over ten years old, as well as running another one of his pimp games on the subject of the north pole ice cap: http://www.france24.com/en/node/4944314
“The north polar ice-cap is melting before our very eyes. It’s been the size of the continental United States for most of the last three million years and now suddenly 40 percent of it is gone and the rest of it is expected to disappear within five, 10, 15 years,” said Gore.
Of course, Gore’s fearmongering holds about as much credibility as that similarly spewed by climate alarmists last year, when they brazenly predicted that the north pole would be ice-free for the first time in history later that summer: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... -pole.html
In reality, between summer 2007 and summer 2008, arctic ice at the North Pole grew by a staggering 30 percent, an area the size of Germany: http://www.prisonplanet.com/arctic-ice- ... -year.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08/15 ... e_mystery/
According to collated data from the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Illinois, Arctic ice extent was at least 30 per cent greater on August 11, 2008 than it was on the August 12, 2007. This was a conservative estimate based on the map projection.
An April 2009 north pole expedition by 20 scientists from the U.S., Canada, Italy, and Germany found that polar sea ice was 100% thicker than expected:
The Reference Frame: North Pole: ice 100% thicker than expected
“Under normal conditions, the ice is formed within two years and ends up being slightly above 2 meters of thickness. “Here, the thickness was as high as four meters,” said the spokesperson for the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven. According to the scientists, this conclusion seems to contradict the warming of the ocean water.”
As Scottish scientists confirmed in 2005, the melting and growing of sea ice at the north pole is a natural cycle and has nothing whatsoever to do with cows farting or indeed Al Gore flying around on his private jet or riding in his gas-guzzling limousine.
“After researching the log-books of Arctic explorers spanning the past 300 years, scientists believe that the outer edge of sea ice may expand and contract over regular periods of 60 to 80 years. This change corresponds roughly with known cyclical changes in atmospheric temperature. The finding opens the possibility that the recent worrying changes in Arctic sea ice are simply the result of standard cyclical movements, and not a harbinger of major climate change,” reported the Scotsman:

Global Warming Science Proven As Fraud
Al Gore Gets It Wrong at Copenhagen Talks
(Dec. 15) -- It is an inconvenient time for Al Gore to be fudging numbers on global climate change.
With the specter of the "Climategate" e-mails hanging ominously over the Copenhagen climate change summit, the former vice president told a crowd there on Monday that one scientist had predicted the polar ice cap would have no summer ice in five to seven years.
"These figures are fresh. Some of the models suggest to Dr. Maslowski that there is a 75 percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap, during the summer months, could be completely ice-free within five to seven years," Gore told the audience.
But the scientist Gore quoted, Dr. Wieslaw Maslowski of the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., told the Times of London that he never said such a thing.
"It's unclear to me how this figure was arrived at," Maslowski told the Times. "I would never try to estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this."
Add that to the fact that recent images taken of the polar ice cap actually show the ice in the area expanding rather than declining, and what you have yourself is a case of fact vs fiction when it comes to Gore and his current lack of knowledge of the north polar ice cap and the rest of the area in that region.
