TOTAL CLIMATE MELTDOWN BOMBSHELL

Citing lava flows under Hawaii's  "Keeling Curve" observatory, Heartland Institute experts say purposely placing thermometers on volcanic islands creates an 'Island Heat Island Effect' used by the Warmunist MSM to advance its corrupt "Rising CO2" scam.

HIATUS IN GLOBAL WARMING

Whatever the data show, I show. “It is what it is”… that splendid dictum speaks all true science. I have lectured on it in the faithful replica of The Supreme Court Chamber at Jerry Falwells' Liberty University. 

Marcus Tullius Cicero who wrote the most beautiful Ciceronian Latin, made a similar point a century before the Lord of Life and Love & Laughter was admired by snuffling kine rubbing flanks with thrones and dominations in a stable at Bethlehem. 

Cicero, in his treatise De Legibus  on jurisprudence, wrote:

 “The law is founded upon and rooted in love.” 

Therefore, it has been a delight to read the Supreme Court’s at last curbing… the Party Line laid down by the all-seeing, all-knowing, all-wise apparatchiki.

The long whinge that follows... misleads the dissenters into grouching – more than somewhat banausically – to the effect that the evil demon Siotu is a “pollutant” 

Yet the rebel reds contradict themselves when they conclude…" the legal doctrine that administrative action by the entities of the State was reviewable by the Courts first emerged in the Courts of Equity in 14th-Century England (I remember it well...

Let us now examine the pseudo-scientific basis for the Supreme Court’s dissenters’ decision … “The six warmest years on record all occur[red] in the last decade”. Depends what you mean by “the record.” It is warmer today than since the first global temperature record began in 1850 – but so what…

The rise in temperatures brings increases... decreases in cold-related deaths... as Willis Eschenbach has demonstrated in one of his many distinguished columns here...

“Rising waters” are not as much of a threat as the dissenters wish to imagine: for 1 mm per year is about 4 inches per century. Oo-er! Pick up your skirts and run for the hills, nan!

As for “scorching heat”, that is offset in the tropics by earlier afternoon convection (i.e. thunderstorms) as the temperature rises, and elsewhere by greater rainfall. Again, Willis Eschenbach has done the research on that.

Here, then, is my modest proposal for taking advantage of the constitutionalist plurality that has at last… found its voice at the Supreme Court.

First, a casus belli must be identified, and a credible plaintiff found. The simplest casus belli is the sheer irrationality that is evidenced by the three Communists’ list of blatantly bogus bugaboos.

First, the notion of rapid and dangerous global warming is predicated upon a monstrous and elementary error of physics that misled clahmatawlagiests into imagining that… the “ anthropogenic greenhouse-gas enrichment over the entire 21st century would become 4 K final warming after accounting for temperature feedback response, chiefly driven by more water vapor in warmer air. 

What the poor saps had forgotten is that the Sun is shining. Therefore, the correct final or equilibrium warming in response to each 1 K of direct warming by noncondensing greenhouse gases, as matters stood in 1850, was not 32 / 8 = 4 K, but rather a mild,  gentle, net-beneficial warming, not the “catastrophe” imagined by the three dissenters.

To head off the trolls who tend to maunder on to the ineffectual effect that that calculation is “inappropriate extrapolation”… It was, of course, the perpetrators of the error, not I, who had extrapolated, in that they had imagined that the ratio of equilibrium to directly-forced warming in 2100 would be about the same as it was in 1850.

The gainers by the economic hara-kiri being committed by the West in the name of Saving The Planet are Putin… Xi Jinping, the oppressor of Tibet... who, ordered his feeble-minded stooge Biden to withdraw precipitately from Afghanistan… to place the West’s economies heavily under the thumb of China… as comparatively inexpensive coal-based static and oil-based locomotive energy sources are replaced by Russian gas & Chinese-controlled lithium carbonate respectively... enriching China as the price of that precious raw material soars… to fund Putin’s continuing massacre...

So far, the many...have trembled cravenly and have done little or nothing to fight back, for fear of the Rufmord (Goebbels’ term for reputational destruction) that is meted out… to those of us who dare to speak out against the collapse of Western civilization.

PROGRESS TOWARDS PROGRESSIVE CLIMATE BREAKDOWN CONTINUES AS PROGRESSIVES EMBRACE NETWORK MEMES

graun chap BILL MCGUIRE explains why  he's not going to take it  anymore:

There’s no getting around it

This extreme heat is just the beginning. 

We should be scared – 

and channel this emotion into action

There’s no getting around it, the UK’s once equable climate is falling apart… 

And be very clear, this isn’t alarmist. 

It isn’t what deniers are fond of calling “climate porn”. 

This is simply how things are.

Progressive climate breakdown will affect everyone...

Transport and energy infrastructure will succumb repeatedly… 

journeys increasingly problematical

power outages a normal part of daily life… 

Health and wellbeing services will buckle…

cases of poisoning due to heat-related food and water contamination burgeon…  

malaria and dengue fever – gain a foothold. 

An explosion in mental health problems...

RIP – Dr. Patrick Michaels, 1950-1922

 Anthony Watts    

I’m sorry to inform the climate realist community of the passing of friend and colleague, Dr. Patrick Michaels... I was always impressed with his depth of knowledge, quick wit, and character…

he often wore green tennis shoes to climate conferences because he said the oddity would engage people in conversations he might not have had otherwise.

He once said to me that his only regret was hiring / promoting Michael Mann while he was at the University of Virginia

1950–1922?

Science goes backwards one death at a time.

Anthony Watts    Reply to  jorgekafkazar

fixed. I was a bit overwhelmed writing this.

John Garret

The loss of Dr. Michaels is comparable to the loss of Freeman Dyson...

Chaswarnert   Reply to John Garret 

And Richard Feynman. He had no reason to feel guilty about hiring Mann. He couldn’t have logically discerned that a bright young student like Mann would turn scientific scoundrel for promise of endless government cash. Somewhere down the road I believe Mann will experience “Trofim Lysenko syndrome”, if you will.

David Wojick

A giant dies. I worked with (and for) Pat while he was at CATO. Always fun. When you are sitting there petting his cat and drinking his fine beer you do not think about how great he is, but he truly was.

alastair gray

Wasn’t Pat Michaels the guy who politely asked Phil Jones of the lamentable University of East Anglia for his raw data on global temperatures? Jones the traitor to science rebuffed him... Thereby providing a neat icon of the dishonesty of the climate establishments cheerleaders

Geoff Sherrington   Reply to alastair gray

No 

That was Australian geologist Warwick Hughes.

Pat Frank

Pat Michaels was also sitting next to Jim Hansen during Hansen’s June 1988 testimony before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. Pat looks young and incredulous... stunned at hearing Hansen make claims in that serious venue that he could not possibly substantiate

Anthony Watts Author  Reply to Pat Frank

That’s not Pat Michaels, that’s Hansen’s sponsor.  Senator Timothy Wirth...

CRITICAL CLIMATE THEORY ART CAR WOWS BURNING MAN

Such an approach situates justice concerns across not only a multiplicity of scales but... in ways that anchor different socio-spatial and socio-material relations as well as mediate a critical dialogue that can disrupt them…

a milieu enables one to capture injustices from below or bottom-up (or even subsurface) … inter-secting identities such as gender, generation, race, caste, or nationality can perpetuate ecological 

distribution conflicts resulting from exclusionary policymaking colonialism... macro or structural patterns of dispossession, ecologically unequal exchange, and global patterns of extractivism.

THE CLOCK OF THE LONG DROUGHT

 Conceptual art hit the American scene with considerable éclat on Earth Day 1970, as Robert Smithson deployed the last of 6,600 tons of black basalt in the Great Salt Lake to create Spiral Jetty 

 The basalt causeway to nowhere wound out 1,500 feet widdershis out from the shore, through shoals of brine shrimp so dense they did the landlocked lake incarnadine:

Massive as Stonehenge and enigmatic as the Sphinx, Spiral Jetty  was hailed as a work for the ages. 

 But a millennium isn't what it used to be.

Just after the term 'Anthropocene' was coined, the Spiral Jetty waterscape began to change:

Smithson's great earthwork now lies far inland, stranded by a drought climatologists reckon the worst in twelve centuries. It grows more cthonic day by day, sticking out of the arid salt-scape like the broken mainspring of The Geological Clock of the Long Year.  

Though the hour has yet to strike, Spiral Jetty has become a second hand  pointing to how fast climate change is already taking its toll on art.
