Self-De-Greening

Don't look now, Fat Albert, but one gaggle of your disciples has gone Judas on you:

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming.  The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science.  The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming “incontrovertible.” …

The APS is opening its debate with the publication of a paper by Lord Monckton of Brenchley, which concludes that climate sensitivity — the rate of temperature change a given amount of greenhouse gas will cause — has been grossly overstated by IPCC modeling.   A low sensitivity implies additional atmospheric CO2 will have little effect on global climate.

Larry Gould, Professor of Physics at the University of Hartford and Chairman of the New England Section of the APS, called Monckton’s paper an “expose of the IPCC that details numerous exaggerations and “extensive errors”

In an email to DailyTech, Monckton says, “I was dismayed to discover that the IPCC’s 2001 and 2007 reports did not devote chapters to the central ‘climate sensitivity’ question, and did not explain in proper, systematic detail the methods by which they evaluated it. When I began to investigate, it seemed that the IPCC was deliberately concealing and obscuring its method.”

Gee, I can't imagine why, can you?  Perhaps because they had a vested personal and political interest in pushing the conclusion they wanted, as opposed to whatever the TRUTH actually was?

Read this mea culpa from an Australian climatologist and tell me if the past decade of pseudo-scientific climate change horsebleep didn't fairly reek of a stacked deck:

When I started that job in 1999 the evidence that carbon emissions caused global warming seemed pretty good: CO2 is a greenhouse gas, the old ice core data, no other suspects.

The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon government and the scientific community were working together and lots of science research jobs were created. We scientists had political support, the ear of government, big budgets, and we felt fairly important and useful (well, I did anyway). It was great. We were working to save the planet.

But since 1999 new evidence has seriously weakened the case that carbon emissions are the main cause of global warming, and by 2007 the evidence was pretty conclusive that carbon played only a minor role and was not the main cause of the recent global warming. As Lord Keynes famously said, “When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”

Well, True Believers like the Goreacle stick their fingers in their ears and shout "LA LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU, LA LA LA LA!!!!!" at the top of their lungs, then double down on their hoax and proclaim it all the shriller and louder.  The global warming scare was never about evidence, never about facts, and always about bilking the American people out of their liberty and their prosperity and herding us into a Third World lifestyle overseen by corrupt, banana-republican despots, who would requisition our eternal gratitude for saving us from a "climate catastrophe" that was never going to come.

Meanwhile, these Gorebotian heretics have stumbled onto the REAL culprit of a different - which is to say, REAL - climate change trend:

The paper points out that the warming seen on Earth during the period under question matched the warming seen on other planets in the solar system, a point repeatedly made by skeptics over the last few years.  Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and one of Neptune’s moons experienced the same climate shift at the same time, and Monckton assigns the blame not to SUVs or belching smokestacks, but to the only energy source all have in common: the sun.  Solar activity during the past seventy years, Monckton states, exceeded what had been seen for 11,000 years, which led to the warming activity here on Earth and elsewhere in the system....

[A]s David Evans points out, the “greenhouse” model should have produced an atmospheric hot spot — which no one has ever found, despite years of looking.  Despite ever-increasing production of carbon, the last seven years have produced a cooling trend.  And more recent data shows that carbon increases at the end of warming cycles, not at the beginning, which demolishes the cause-and-effect assumptions for climate-change advocates.

Our planet is COOLING, gentlebeings, not warming.  So get out there and put those smokestacks on overdrive, rev your SUVs uncontrollably, and stock up on palletloads of the musical fruit.  If Sol is entering a period of reduced activity and output, we're going to need all the greenhouse gases we can belch.
