Global Cooling Evidence Continues to Cascade; Global Warming Zealots Unfazed

Researchers publishing in Nature report that parts of North America and Europe are expected to cool over the next decade.  See the story here. 

 But the author of the report remains a global warming zealot and fears that his science will be used to undermine his religion:

“We thought a lot about the way to present this because we don’t want it to be turned around in the wrong way,” Keenlyside said. “I hope it doesn’t become a message of Exxon Mobil and other skeptics.”

Comments
I have been saying for years that we need to have two gigantic smoke stacks like volcanoes on both the North and South poll that we can turn on in catastrophic times such as these. Desperate times call for desperate measures. We have seen what ice ages can do. Can you even imagine New York city under 6 feet of ice?! And yet Bush does nothing.Frost122585

..more oxygen in the atmosphere(from plants) may also mean less UV radiation & hence less risk of sunburns from UV radiation. ..and dogs and cats would finally stop warring and sleep in peace together. So I say.. be pro-global warming... or at least pro increased CO2.JGuy

Personally, I think more CO2 in the atmosphere would be great. It would accelerated plant growth. More plants...more shade and more oxygen. More oxygen better health - eg. faster tissue repair. And it woudl be more beautiful. Warmer overall climate (ie. global average) would mean more land for agriculture & living space would increase. And I sould suspect the weather would be more peaceful with slightly more uniform global temperature... but who am I...right?JGuy

WattsUpWithThat posts on solar sunspot cycles relative to global temperature (e.g., with cycle 24 being late). He also analyzes the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) related to global warming testing.DLH

But politicians love globull warm-mongering, because it gives them an excuse to control more of our lives and gouge more tax dollars from us. Celebrities love it, because they can live in their energy-guzzling mansions and fly all over the world in their CO2-spewing private jets, while lecturing the plebs to shower less, use less loopaper and cycle rather than drive. Scientists on the gravy train love it for all the research grants. Certain farmers love it because they receive lucrative ethanol subsidies. Overpopulation zealots love it, because denying the third world decent fuelled technology will keep them in their place.Jonathan Sarfati

Google Canadian Free Press and global warming. They have a series of articles they've been publishing that is blowing these GW alarmists out of the water. It's pathetic. Actually, diabolical.PaV

Am I right in saying that there was little or no warming over the past 8 years, and that they are predicting little warming or even cooling over the next 10 years, and we are still supposed to think that their computer generated models, that did not predict either of these findings, are still correct in what they do predict?idnet.com.au

To elaborate: A good scientific theory makes predictions that can be verified and/or disconfirmed. The theoretical models used by the anthropogenic global warming hoaxers is bunkum, pure and simple. Fight them like hell.mike1962

Hi Davescot, I was laughing at the same thing. We may not experience warming for the next ten years, but that doesn't mean it isn't warming. Funny how the cyclical effects of ocean currents are (preemptively) receiving credit for the coming cooling, but not for the past warming.Charlie

ICECAP.us has further articles on the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and related areas. May 02, 2008 The Relationship of the PDO to El Nino and La Nina Frequency By Joseph D’Aleo, Intellicast.com, April 28, 2008 La Nina and Pacific Decadal Oscillation Cool the Pacific NASA Earth Observatory Climatologist Roy Spencer has a good article at NRO: More Carbon Dioxide, Please Raising a scientific question.
I think it is time for scientists to consider the possibility that more CO2 in the atmosphere might, on the whole, be good for life on Earth.

ROFLMAO Don't forget this: just because it's getting cooler doesn't mean it isn't still getting warmer. Cooler and warmer now have exactly the same meaning. Amazing. Who ARE these people? You'd think they were Darwinists by the how deeply they're in denial but there aren't that many Darwinists. People from both sides of the culture war have been suckered in by the global warming hoax.DaveScot
