Weather Cooling Down - AGW Science Being Challenged - Science Being Corrupted


This item presents a compelling case that global warming advocates are on the wrong track and possibly engaged in unethical practices.  It details the case of  Dr. Murry Salby who has been dismissed from his position as a professor of climate science at Australia's Macquarie University.  The circumstances surrounding his dismissal are suspicious.  But, despite denials it is likely that the reason is that he is a climate change denier. It also highlights the fact that a number of world renown scientists have rejected the so called scientific consensus, including Nobel Laureate, physicist Ivar Giaever.  Here is the author's last paragraph.  "Genuine scientific inquiry is degraded when science becomes politicized. The standards that have prevailed since the Scientific Revolution conflict with the advocacy needs of politics, and AGW would be finished as the basis of a political program if confidence in its scientific consensus were undermined. Its advocates’ evasion of rigorous falsifiability tests points to AGW’s current weakness as a science. As an academic critic of the science on which AGW rests, Murry Salby may have been silenced for now. The observed behavior of nature, from which he draws his analysis, cannot be dismissed so readily."   http://www.city-journal.org/2014/24_3_global-warming.html

EPA wanted a number but did not tell the scientist what it was.  After three tries based on science and not producing the desired number the scientist asked the EPA what number they wanted.  He then manipulated the science to fit the number.  Is this what you want scientists to do?   http://www.redstate.com/2014/08/18/garbage-consensus-part/   This is one of the links inside that.   http://stevemaley.com/2013/06/10/nytimes-darn-that-rascally-global-warming/

Here is an example of "government driven opinions," operating outside the facts, driving climate change alarmism.  This is just one more example suggesting that either ill-informed or agenda driven politics is at the root of the climate change agenda.   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/08/another_climate_apocalypse_prediction_goes_up_in_smoke.html

These data are very interesting and serve to undermine AGW alarmist claims.   http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2014/08/no_trend_in_yeartodate_us_climate_extremes_index_since_records_start.html



The debate rages on regarding EPA rules which impose huge burdens on the coal industry resulting in enormous impacts on energy consumers.   http://dailysignal.com/2014/08/20/epas-climate-plan-flawed-heritage-analysis/   What is so sad is that these EPA rules are founded on highly suspect science, making them irresponsible.  It almost seems that it is their plan to kill the coal industry regardless of the impact and suspect science.  Candidate Obama said this in 2008.  "If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all the greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”   http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/29/obama-kills-coal-as-promised/    Not only does this show callus regard for the nation's largest source of energy, the enormous progress made in producing clean coal, the jobs it provides, subsequent negative consequences for the nation's commerce/economy and energy consumers but also demonstrates a misplaced, possibly irrational, regard for suspect climate science.

What hypocrisy.  This billionaire is an example of the elitist attitude that is so absent any understanding of average citizens simply trying to make a living for their families.  Note how he demeans the 95.5% of the public who don't live in the lap of luxury he does.  Quote: "Though the billionaire has gone to great lengths in recent years to separate his hedge fund – Farallon – from coal investments, the fact is that much of his substantial wealth has indeed come from coal. Every chance he gets, he speaks out against the burning of fossil fuels while funding political campaigns with money that he earned from same. Now many of his critics point out that his investments lie in solar energy, providing the perfect ulterior motive for his war on traditional sources of electricity."     http://www.fixthisnation.com/conservative-breaking-news/liberal-billionaire-tom-steyer-only-super-sophisticated-understand-climate-change/
