The Political Left Is Missing The Point On Global Warming

Last Sunday, Professor Phil Jones of the Climate Research Unit of East Anglia University finally confessed to the following never previously admitted truths about Global Warming (Click to See Full Story: "Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995"):

  • There hasn't been any significant statistical warming in the world since 1995 (even though carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have continue to rise).
  • The Medieval Period (800-1300 A.D.) may actually have been warmer than it is now; despite the very small world population and carbon output.
  • Vital data that supposedly supported Climate Change/Global Warming has been lost (How convenient is that!).
Now, in case you didn't know it, Phil Jones is one of the key people in the drafting of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. He was especially instrumental in pumping up a lot of the false data in the IPCC reports of 2001 and in the Nobel price winning report of 2007. He was also at the center of the Climate Gate email scandal; along with his buddy the "hockey stick" temperature projection liar and co-conspirator Michael Mann.

Despite the above truths coming out, the political left of both this country and the world still claim that Global Warming is both real and a completely settled. But, the point that the left is missing is the fact that the science can't be settled if the underlying facts or data are false. The two big hitches in the left's argument is the fact that it was warmer in the Medieval Warming period and that the 15-year abatement of temperature increases have never been incorporated into the IPCC projections.

The best indication of how badly the IPCC has lied all these years comes from their own reports in 1990, 1995, 2001, and 2007. If you look at their graphs (Click to view the chart as a popup window), you can see that, in each of those reporting years, they produced a projection of how the planet's temperatures were rising. Nowhere on that graph is there any attempt to reflect the fact that temperatures haven't risen since 1995. In fact, if you look at the 2007 reported slope (the maroon line), that line is not only projecting warmer temperatures than had been previously reported in the 1995 and 2001 report but, also, it continues to show the same upward slope as had been reported in the two previous reports. There was absolutely no attempt to adjust the 2007 graph to reflect reality of nearly zero temperature gains since 1995.

If the IPCC had been truthful, there should have been a flat line from 1999 through 2007 or, at the very least, one whose slope was less than had been previously reported. But there wasn't and that, my friends, exposes their big lie. That is why the political left is completely missing the point on Global Warming or Climate Change or whatever they prefer calling this lie. I guess if science is supposed to be based on lies then I would say that the science of Global Warming is truly settled.

Quite right on this subject! Seems to me the underlying problem is, once again, corruption. People skewing numbers and lying in order to scam the public out of tons of money. I just think it is tragic that so many people have been sucked into the swirl of these lies and pride will not let them let go of it.
Thanks again!
