Republicans’ Green New Deal-Lite Is Political Suicide The Stupid Party is the progressive wing of the Republican Party. Stop listening to these lollyknobs! Global warming is a fraud perpetrated by pseudoscientists who receive huge research grants and stipends for saying what the politicians want to hear. "Black curve, global temperature reconstruction by Marcott et al., 2013, as in figure 37. Purple curve, Earth’s axis obliquity cycle. Red curve, CO2 levels as measured in Epica Dome C (Antarctica) ice core, reported in Monnin et al., 2004. Blue curve, methane levels as measured in GISP2 (Greenland) ice core from Kobashi et al., 2007. Notice the great effect of the 8.2 kyr event on methane concentrations. Green curve, simulated global temperatures from an ensemble of three models (CCSM3, FAMOUS, and LOVECLIM) from Liu et al., 2014, show the inability of general climate models to replicate the Holocene general temperature downward trend. Pink bar, 8.2 kyr BP climatic event. Major Holocene climatic periods are indicated."
Ok! That makes things a bit more complicated but look at the black line, the proxy temperature reconstruction, and the green line the average of the three climate models. They do not mirror, in fact, they are opposites. The reconstruction rises first, then falls over time, while the climate models start low and slowly rise over time. This has reinforced my understanding that the climate models used by the climate alarmist are valueless, and cannot be used for any real world climate modeling. So, the Alarmist's models are bupkis. You should also note that the black line spike at the end is driven by extensive data fraud, manipulation, and chicanery. Instead of using the raw data, the Alarmists manipulate the data subtracting temperature from older data and adding temperature to new data. Why? Because the data is not cooperating with the fraudsters desires. Regardless, the spike is manufactured. It certainly exists to some extent, but the fraud magnifies it making it unusable as a valuable piece of data. The Earth during the Holocene Climate Optimum temperature anomaly was about 0.9˚(C). Today we are something less than the temperature graphed which is 0.15˚(C) or so. We have a long way to go to get back to the Holocene Climate Optimum average temperature. The second thing to note is how closely the temperature anomaly follows the Earth's axis obliquity cycle and how it is inverse of CO2 except for a few years at the beginning and end of the graph. Thirdly, notice that our present temperature anomaly (based on fraudulent data) has approximately returned to the Mideavel Warm Period temperature anomaly, but remains significantly below the Roman Warm Period temperature anomaly and far below the Holocene Climate Optimum temperature anomaly. Fourth, after the unprecedentedly long and deeply cold Little Ice Age drop out in the temperature anomaly, we should have expected the Earth to begin warming just as it has done after every cold drop in this "sawtooth" graph of Earth's temperature anomaly. What we should want is a return to the Holocene Climate Optimum not a return to the Ice Age. The climate alarmists seem to want a return to the ice age with its death and deprivation for not only humans but all life. There is scant evidence that the current temperature anomaly is due to anything but natural causes. We have vanishingly little data over a tiny few decades which the climate alarmists point to as their entire evidence package. In fact, the entire global warming period which the climate alarmists point to comprises the years, 1978 to 1998, before that the Earth was in a 30+ year cooling trend, the amount of carbon being produced was insufficient to drive global warming (according to the climate alarmists), and after that the Earth has not been warming (again according to the climate alarmists). These lollyknobs are hanging their hats on 20 years of warming data to prove that in 100 years the temperature will be ... Oh, STFU ... Making claims like that about the most complicated system on Earth with scant data is cultish lunacy. Global warming is a secular totalitarian cult. Crichton nailed who these people are, and what drives them. "'More than 15 years ago, Michael Crichton gave a talk to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco on September 15, 2003 titled “Environmentalism is a Religion,” here’s an excerpt: Today, one of the most powerful religions in the Western World is environmentalism. Environmentalism seems to be the religion of choice for urban atheists. Why do I say it’s a religion? Well, just look at the beliefs. If you look carefully, you see that environmentalism is in fact a perfect 21st century remapping of traditional Judeo-Christian beliefs and myths. There’s an initial Eden, a paradise, a state of grace and unity with nature, there’s a fall from grace into a state of pollution as a result of eating from the tree of knowledge, and as a result of our actions there is a judgment day coming for us all. We are all energy sinners, doomed to die, unless we seek salvation, which is now called sustainability. Sustainability is salvation in the church of the environment. Just as organic food is its communion, that pesticide-free wafer that the right people with the right beliefs, imbibe. Eden, the fall of man, the loss of grace, the coming doomsday—these are deeply held mythic structures. They are profoundly conservative beliefs. They may even be hard-wired in the brain, for all I know. I certainly don’t want to talk anybody out of them, as I don’t want to talk anybody out of a belief that Jesus Christ is the son of God who rose from the dead. But the reason I don’t want to talk anybody out of these beliefs is that I know that I can’t talk anybody out of them. These are not facts that can be argued. These are issues of faith. And so it is, sadly, with environmentalism. Increasingly it seems facts aren’t necessary, because the tenets of environmentalism are all about belief. It’s about whether you are going to be a sinner, or saved. Whether you are going to be one of the people on the side of salvation, or on the side of doom. Whether you are going to be one of us, or one of them. Am I exaggerating to make a point? I am afraid not. Because we know a lot more about the world than we did forty or fifty years ago. And what we know now is not so supportive of certain core environmental myths, yet the myths do not die.'" Crichton on the environmental cult! I argue facts; I don't know why it does not change minds; cultists do not change their minds based on facts. Global warming is religious mythology, as are environmentalism and most of the other cultish beliefs of the secularly religious progressive left. Falling for these religious myths is a failure of reason. It will lead to not just economic destruction but the murder of millions and perhaps tens or hundreds of millions just as the acceptance of the secular cult of socialism did during the 20th century. This is not a game; it is not funny; it is not a benign lark or frolic; it is deadly serious business. At least it is to Antifa, the zealous environmentalists, and others on the lunatic left.
