Resisting Climate Hysteria

I think the like button has a longer term benefit.
Most times you don't have anything to add when someone says something well, because they already said it well!! So for the person posting how do they ever know that they said something well when there isn't any indication it was liked or commented on?

When you get liked it encourages you to post again, because you feel people appreciate what you say and feel what you say must be pretty damn amazing and want to feel the buzz of being a very insightful, stable genius again. So keep posting.

Also if you are a complete lunatic and don't get many likes, you will be discouraged to keep raving on like a madman and annoying everybody because you're not getting any likes and may as well just be talking to the wall in your padded cell like you normally do.:D

In isolation this like the rest could be dismissed as just natural weather extremes but it's becoming too frequent to ignore.

Given that there's a time lag between emissions and any impact on climate, and given that emissions are continuing at record levels and rising, it looks to me like the "sudden forced change" scenario is the one that we're going to end up with.:2twocents
 
The forced "sudden change" scenario needs to be revisited.
There has been analyis of the effects of massive immediate CC . This paper was prepared for the Pantagon in 2003.

It was reviewed later on noting that while it was a possible outlier similar events have occured and teh consequences were equally damaging.

Review of the Month
The Pentagon and Climate Change
by The Editors
(May 01, 2004)


Topics: Ecology , Political Economy , Stagnation

Abrupt climate change has been a growing topic of concern for about a decade for climate scientists, who fear that global warming could shut down the ocean conveyer that warms the North Atlantic, plunging Europe and parts of North America into Siberian-like conditions within a few decades or even years. But it was only with the recent appearance of a Pentagon report on the possible social effects—in terms of instability and war—of abrupt climate change that it riveted public attention. As the Observer (February 22) put it, “Climate change over the next 20 years could result in global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.”

Benny Peiser talks to Ian Plimer about his new book, The Climate Change Delusion and the Great Electricity Ripoff'. The 'Greener than Thou's tried to silence and discredit Plimer, a trained and experienced scientist.
South Sea Bubble, Dutch Tulip Mania, highly appropriate analogies.
'How can Pensioners keep themselves warm?' Indeed.
Joe, how did embedding an Youtube become so obscure, so you now need tags, media=youtube ..youtube code.. /media

It's still winter and we have two wildfires out of control in NSW today. Just reported on ch24 ABC.

Ian Pilmer is in La La Land, eyes shut to receive bonuses from big business would be my guess.

His books contain graphs that have been modified to support his views.
He claims he has caused Tony Abbott to support the cause. Quite a "colourful" character.

Move along now, nothing to see here, bush fires in winter are perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. Adds to that "summer feeling" and the efforts of putting out the fires and rebuilding infrastructure boosts the economy. Move along now..... :rolleyes:

Seriously, well if there are fires in August then that's not good really.

I tend to think that crisis will be global sea level rises because that will affect most of the countries that are the biggest emitters, USA, China, India, Japan. The Sprattley Islands will probably disappear and that will annoy China, and when the Florida everglades go under then maybe even the USA may realise that something odd is going on. :rolleyes:

Holland has proven that sea level mitigation is a viable option for continental regions, but certainly not small islands. Anyways, their populations are so small that they will just be of nuisance value.
My take is that the big ticket item will be extreme weather events which will impact globally with greater loss of life and significantly greater financial cost. In the northern hemisphere this can be caused by the increasingly erratic nature of polar jet stream while more generally the increased energy available to traditional weather events will wreak greater havoc than previously.
Less immediate will be effects on land use as drought regions "drift" and changes to rainfall patterns dislocate traditional agricultural regions.
 
Damn you global warming! The Greenhouse Effect is boiling Greece away!

It's called climate change... but whatever.
Your posted images will happen more regularly in future in the northern hemisphere due to changes in the polar jet stream, as linked previously.
All going as forecast so move along....
 
I'm considering turning Alan Jones on tomorrow .I think he's back from holidays. I want to hear if he's come up with a greater argument for CC being a hoax other than "CO2 is great, the source of all plant life".
At some stage he has to put a reasonable argument forward otherwise his motives are looking more and more suspicious
 
Still banging this drum folks ? Climate hysteria ? Belief that the concern the world is rapidly warming is just ridiculous ?
Hasn't the last 10 years of rapidly increasing temperatures created new facts that just blow the "climate hysteria" case out of the water ?
Pointing to extreme cold weather events in Greece (or wherever) is great fun. But anyone who cares to check the science now understand that the reason for the these extremes is, in fact,the effect of global warming in the Arctic affecting the polar jet streams.

Waste of time Bas, I've been pointing to the displacement effect for years but those who do not want to believe or more correctly don't just won't.
 
Reduce 'carbon', we were told, because that feeds the Greenhouse Effect and causes global warming.
