Changements climatiques - Réalité vs hystérie
Plus la science nous en apprend sur le climat, plus il semble que les changements climatiques sont mal compris et d'une autre part, qu'ils sont majoritairement naturels et cycliques. On vous affirmera le contraire, mais l'histoire des changements climatiques causé par le CO2 est très politisée. Ce n'est pas vraiment de la bonne science, puisque la science qui supporte la thèse du RC causé par l'homme refuse systématiquement de considérer les autres trouvailles n'allant pas de le même sens qu'eux. Et je ne parle pas de la science des compagnies pétrolières, mais bien de sources forts crédibles et légitimes, tels que les données satellites, mesures des océans et de l'atmosphère, de tous les glaciers qui sont très nombreux à grandir au lieu de fondre, de trouvailles et analyses divergentes de météorologues, climatologues et géologues, etc. Le fait est que la planète se refroidie depuis une décennie déjà et le soleil est en période de dormance peu commune.
Ce qui est absurde, c'est que même si toute l'histoire du réchauffement climatique causé par l'homme, pourquoi vouloir nous taxer alors que le cartel de l'énergie, du pétrole et des voitures refusent toujours de nous donner accès aux technologies d'énergies libres, propres et infinies? Nikola Tesla a trouvé il y a plus de 100 ans comment produire de l'électricité à partir du "vide" et des forces terrestres, GM a détruit sa propre voiture électrique et des inventions géniales comme elle du moteur à eau de Stanley Meyer sont déraillées sans cesse.
On nous blâme d'utiliser de l'essence et de produire du CO2, mais d'un autre côté, on nous refuse l'utilisation de technologies qui auraient dû remplacer le pétrole il y a déjà bien longtemps!
Maintenant, prenez bien le temps de lire ces citations qui précèdent la liste d'articles à lire concernant les changements climatiques. Elles proviennent de la bouche même des auteurs mêmes de toute cette histoire hystérique à épeurer le peuple qu'est la grande campagne de peur à propos des réchauffement climatiques causés par l'homme.

We all want to be wise and careful stewards of the beautiful planet we call home. However, certain aspects of the modern green movement that is permeating every segment of our society are not about protecting the environment. You don’t have to dig very deep to discover the true beliefs of the influential leaders who are using genuine concerns about the environment to promote an agenda of fear and control. Please carefully consider the implications of the opinions that they so openly and freely express:

"The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

"In Nature organic growth proceeds according
to a Master Plan, a Blueprint. Such a ‘master plan’ is

"Democracy is not a panacea. It cannot organize everything and
it is unaware of its own limits. These facts must be faced squarely.

"The emerging 'environmentalization' of our civilization
and the need for vigorous action in the interest of the entire global

"We require a central organizing principle - one agreed to voluntarily.
Minor shifts in policy, moderate improvement in laws and regulations,
rhetoric offered in lieu of genuine change - these are all forms of

of society will not be necessary."

"Effective execution of Agenda 21 will require a profound
reorientation of all human society, unlike anything the world
has ever experienced a major shift in the priorities of both
governments and individuals and an unprecedented
redeployment of human and financial resources. This shift
will demand that a concern for the environmental consequences
of every human action be integrated into individual and
collective decision-making at every level."
- UN Agenda 21

"The current course of development is thus clearly unsustainable.
Current problems cannot be solved by piecemeal measures.
More of the same is not enough. Radical change from the
current trajectory is not an option, but an absolute necessity.
Fundamental economic, social and cultural changes that
address the root causes of poverty and environmental
degradation are required and they are required now."

2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved
Easily one of the most important stories of 2008 has been all the evidence suggesting that this may be looked back on as the year when there was a turning point in the great worldwide panic over man-made global warming. Just when politicians in Europe and

The killer frost for global warming
Turn up the heat, somebody. The globe is freezing. Even Al Gore is looking for an extra blanket. Winter has barely come to the northern latitudes and already we've got bigger goosebumps than usual. So far the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports 63 record snowfalls in the United States, 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month. Only 44 Octobers over the past 114 years have been cooler than this last one.

Cool 2008 warms climate debate
WHILE the official figures are not yet in, 2008 is widely tipped to be declared the coolest year of the century.
Global warming: Reasons why it might not actually exist
2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved, according to the Telegraph's Christopher Booker. Sceptics have long argued that there are other explanations for climate change other than man-made CO2 and here we look at some of the arguments put forward by those who believe that global warming is all a hoax.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Last night we were awakened by another thunderstorm, not unlike the one which blacked out the island a few days ago. My wife observed that we have never seen this much lightning in the many years we have lived here on
Now then, quick meteorology lesson. Lightning is the result of static electricity created by the interaction between tiny rising droplets of water and falling bits of ice all within the storm cloud system. So, when you have lightning, it means that somewhere above you there is hail. The more lightning, the more hail. So, for

Global warming a 'political delusion'
Beginning with actual temperature change. According to both the Met Office's Hadley Centre and NASA, there has been no rise in the Earth's temperature since 1998, with temperatures declining since 2002 and satellite evidence showing expanding ice caps.
Meanwhile, sunspot data analysis predicts another 12-15 very cold years ahead, borne out by another cold winter across Europe,
So, despite record carbon dioxide emissions worldwide, we are in the midst of at least a two or three-decade cool-down within the current gradual warming cycle. An entirely natural phenomenon and a very inconvenient truth for the politicians, the warmist media, and wind power vested interests.
Whether you believe in man-made global warming or not, please realize that carbon trading is a scam.
A big red flag is that our bailout buddies over at Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup and the other Wall Street pirates are buying heavily into carbon trading.
Since these firms contributed so heavily to Obama's campaign, they will exert enormous pressure on Obama to push a huge carbon trading program. As
Obama must ensure that the banks use the trillions of dollars in federal bailout assistance to renegotiate mortgages and make new loans to worthy homebuyers and businesses. Obama must make certain that banks do not continue to squander federal largess by padding executive bonuses, acquiring other banks and pursuing new high-return, high-risk lines of businesses in merger activity, carbon trading and complex derivatives. Industry leaders like Citigroup have announced plans to move in those directions. Many of these bankers enjoyed influence in and contributed generously to the Obama campaign. Now it remains to be seen if a President Obama can stand up to these same bankers and persuade or compel them to act responsibly.
That's right. The same companies that made billions off of derivatives and other scams and are getting bailed out on your dime are going to make billions from carbon trading.
Moreover, even based on its stated goal of reducing carbon emissions, carbon trading might not work.
Carbon trading is a scam.
The earth's magnetic field impacts climate: Danish study
The earth's climate has been significantly affected by the planet's magnetic field, according to a Danish study published Monday that could challenge the notion that human emissions are responsible for global warming.
"Our results show a strong correlation between the strength of the earth's magnetic field and the amount of precipitation in the tropics," one of the two Danish geophysicists behind the study, Mads Faurschou Knudsen of the geology department at Aarhus University in western Denmark, told the Videnskab journal.

Possible natural explanation found for West Antarctica's warming
Webmaster's Commentary:
The cultists have been screaming that the warmer temperatures in west
Nope.
There's a volcano down there.
Despite the hot air, the Antarctic is not warming up
The measures being proposed to meet what President Obama last week called the need to "roll back the spectre of a warming planet" threaten to land us with the most colossal bill mankind has ever faced. It might therefore seem peculiarly important that we can trust the science on which all the alarm over global warming is based, But nothing has been more disconcerting in this respect than the methods used by promoters of the warming cause over the years to plug some of the glaring holes in their scientific argument.
Another example last week was the much-publicised claim, contradicting all previous evidence, that Antarctica, the world's coldest continent, is in fact warming up, Antarctica has long been a major embarrassment to the warmists. Al Gore and co may have wanted to scare us that the continent which contains 90 per cent of all the ice on the planet is heating up, because that would be the source of all the meltwater which they claim will raise sea levels by 20 feet.

Astronaut Jack Schmitt Joins Skeptics
"As a geologist, I love Earth observations," Schmitt wrote, "But, it is ridiculous to tie this objective to a 'consensus' that humans are causing global warming when human experience, geologic data and history, and current cooling can argue otherwise.

You know as well as I, the 'global warming scare' is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making..."

Webmaster's Commentary:
The switch to the phrase "Climate change" instead of "Global Warming" does not obfuscate the fact that for the last 7 years while the cultists were screaming, "Global Warming", the Earth actually cooled. Nor did pictures of Polar Bears in summer alter the fact that this last year the arctic ice cap grew in size. Nor did it help when one of the cult's chief science promoters was caught using September temperature data to claim October a record hot month. And temperature data collected from sensors sited in the outflow from building air conditioners (and in one case right next to a trash incinerator) proved yet another embarrassment.
So, the cult has changed the label to hedge their bets. The globe isn't warming; it's just changing, and it's YOUR fault, and you must be made to pay for it
Probably the reason that public support to fight climate change is waning is the recognition that climate change is the natural order of things on Earth. Earth has never in its 4 billion year history maintained a stable climate over any significant period of time. Earth has been much warmer and much colder than it is today, with long period fluctuations in the Earth's orbit and solar output the chief determinants. As the ice melted in

Earth on the Brink of an Ice Age
The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

Finally! I thought. The consensus climate scientists who believe, passionately but with almost no scientific evidence beyond computer models, that the planet is warming, that it's all humanity's fault, and that we're heading for oblivion, are willing to admit they've been wildly exaggerating the threat of warming to places like the Arctic.
