Title: Sticking it to the Greenies
Post by bogarde73 on Jan 29th, 2016 at 2:46pm
Let me tell you the worst thing about the climate change scam. It’s not the lies, not bullying, not the perversion of the scientific method, not the establishment cover-ups, not the needless scaremongering, not the wasted money, not the nannying overregulation, not the destroyed wildlife and ruined countryside, not the stymied economic growth — bad though all these things are. No one what really sticks in the craw is that the people making money out of it are the scum of the earth. . . . . .

If you build a giant trough, the pigs will come. And they have. (No insult to real pigs, by the way. Bacon! Mmm) . . . .

Rajendra Pachauri, the bearded, yogic railway engineer with wandering hands who, largely because he fitted the right ethnic profile, managed to parlay his way into heading the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, jetting round the world for a succession of climatological shindigs in exotic locations, as well as making a tidy bit on the side thanks to his TERI research institute.

Al Gore, the climate huckster who was worth less than $2 million when he failed to become US president, but has since made another $300 million with anti-carbon investment hype, benefiting from regulations that he helped create.

Jagadish Shukla, a George Mason University climate professor with a rare aptitude for snaffling millions of dollars in taxpayer funded grants but rather less of a skill — you suspect — when it comes to producing research of any damn use to anyone.

You get the idea. Climate change is a racket — a make work scheme created by and for “the Clerisy” (all those overeducated, undertalented middle-class wasters with crappy degrees in non-subjects like ecology, climatology, sociology, environmental sciences, environmental law, sustainability, and the rest) . . . . . .

And we’re not talking a cottage industry, here, remember. $1.5 trillion a year is a serious amount of money. It’s the same, approximately, as the value of the entire global online shopping industry. . . . . . .

How do we get our revenge?

Have a look at this website http://coolfuturesfundsmanagement.com/. . . .

Basically their plan is to set up a hedge fund whose raison d’être is to bet against the ‘climate consensus’: instead of global warming, they’re expecting the planet to cool; instead of renewables being our energy future, they’re betting on the subsidies drying up and the whole industry collapsing; instead of fossil fuels being left in the ground as “stranded assets”, they’re expecting them to go on satisfying the world’s energy needs for many generations to come. That’s why they’re called the Cool Futures Fund.

Not according to NOAA.

1997 global average temperature '62.45 degrees Fahrenheit'

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/199713

2015 ' the average global temperature across land and ocean surface areas for 2015 was 0.90°C (1.62°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F)'

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201513

1.62F + 57.0F = 58.62F

I'll let you do the rest of the math.

There are actually many compelling reasons to move to renewable energy.

Probably the biggest is pollution from both coal and oil. Burning fossil fuel is nasty horrible shyte.

One of my favourite reasons is I'd like the world to
stop sending bucket loads of money to the filthy arabs for their oil. I'd like all cars to be run on lecky asap.

Not according to NOAA.

1997 global average temperature '62.45 degrees Fahrenheit'

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/199713

2015 ' the average global temperature across land and ocean surface areas for 2015 was 0.90°C (1.62°F) above the 20th century average of 13.9°C (57.0°F)'

https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/global/201513

1.62F + 57.0F = 58.62F

I'll let you do the rest of the math.


Your web site for 1997 shows +0.42C above 20th century average.

Note the NCDC/NOAA disclaimer: "Please note: the estimate for the baseline global temperature used in this study differed, and was warmer than, the baseline estimate (Jones et al., 1999) used currently. This report has been superseded by subsequent analyses. However, as with all climate monitoring reports, it is left online as it was written at the time."

And of course you didn't see the claim of 62.45ºF?

The global baseline temperature differed. So that makes your anomalies different.

Then again Jones uses a lot of the "data" of Briffa and Mann. Mann's work has been seriously debunked.

Briffa? A new paper 'Uncertainties in tree-ring-based climate reconstructions probed'

Authors - ' Dr Matthew Schofield of Otago's Department of Mathematics and Statistics. His co-authors on the paper are departmental colleague Professor Richard Barker, Professor Andrew Gelman of Columbia University, Director of the Tree Ring Lab at Columbia Professor Ed Cook, and Emeritus Professor Keith Briffa of the University of East Anglia, UK.'

Conclusions - 'They found that competing models fit the Scots Pine data equally well but still led to substantially different predictions of historical temperature due to the differing assumptions underlying each model.

While the periods of relatively warmer and cooler temperatures were robust between models, the magnitude of the resulting temperatures was highly dependent on the model being used.

This suggests that there is less certainty than implied by a reconstruction developed using any one set of assumptions.'

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/01/160127101524.htm

The question then becomes how certain are we of the conclusions reached by Jones?

Your favorite year 1997 was also a strong El Nino.



Actually it was across two years 1997 and 1998. But hey, I never said it wasn't an El Nino year.

So what exactly was the point?


Current El Nino spans 2015-2016 and 2016 is trending to be hotter than 2015.

My point was your example year 1997 was also an El Nino year so you can't claim different conditions for 2015.

You're claiming a trend over 30 days, out of a year?  I know what the pundits are predicting, but if you look at Sea Surface Temperatures, they don't seem to agree.

You can't claim different conditions for different El Ninos? What happened to 2006-07 and 2009-10? Both were multiple El Nino years.

I'd like all cars to be run on lecky asap.



Good luck getting Perth-Sydney.


Well for most people who do 100km or less a day.


Most people also occasionally do a lot more. What point is a car that will NEVER do more, especially when it costs three times as much and can do so much less?

Remember ye olde brick sized mobile phone: how much did they cost again?

The concept is called economies of scale and we all know you avoid it like the plague  :o :o :o


Economies of scale wont make and EV travel 600kms on a charge and take 15mins to recharge.


No dear, they’ll just make service stations swap your empty battery for a charged one, the way you fill your empty Camry with petrol.

Incredible, isn’t it? Back in the day, they had places you could fill your horse up with hay. Economies of scale tend to do these things.

I believe Longy has a sum on it.


How does this even effect us urbane inner city types who generally toodle around town doing less than 100km a day?
We're by FAR the majority of motoer Ve-Hicle users in Australia.

On the odd occasion I need to pop up to the Hunter for some wine or Bowral for a bit of Polo I can walk 50 meters to the Goget Pruis.

Sorry for all the fringe dwelling proletarians who need to commute 500km a day, but your opinion doesn't matter.


The point you dismiss so easily is that the comparison between EVs and petrol cars leaves EVs looking pretty bad. The fact they cost less to run is their sole advantage, but the disadvantages are many. They cost 2-3 times as much. Their range is extremely limited and recharge times are long. Petrol cars can cross the country virtually nonstop with just 10mins stops for fuel. EVs simply cant.  There is simply too much they cannot do when compared to petrol cars which is of course, why 99.5% of people buy petrol cars.

The cars are getting cheaper, the range is getting better.

Cost curves will eventually include external factors such as war.

Ever heard of social liscence ?

Disinvestment was the word, and the word was good  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Are we not all stakeholders??

Why should I bother. I have no trust in NOAA.

Yours is a mere appeal to authority. Try thinking for yourself.

Where's 1997?

You don't have to trust them: i will even give you permission to wear silly costumes and stay indoors whilst smoking a crack pipe and pretending to eat pizza every now and again  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Trucks, Trains Aeroplanes, Ships are needed to move goods across the country. Which ones are you going to fuel with solar. Unless of course you want electric trains. ;D ;D ;D
