POPSMore bad news for alarmists For example, the recent summary by Fred Singer and 22 expert contributors to “Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate” makes some extraordinary statements about computer models. (In addition to the many excellent contributors, this summary also contains 167 references to the scientific literature). This is important since computer models are being improperly, yet extensively, used by state legislatures as the basis of policies for greenhouse gas mitigation, rather than using actual climate data taken from the real world. These statements include: Computer models do not consider variations of irradiance and magnetic fields of the sun Computer models do not accurately model the role of clouds Computer models do not simulate a possible negative feedback from water vapor Computer models do not explain many features of the Earth’s observed climate. Computer models cannot produce reliable predictions of regional climate change.

POPSChicken Little? No warming since 1998. Even some alarmists say we are in for at least a decade of cooling.

POPSGallery: Nano Photos Rival Modern Art "Every six months, the Materials Research Society celebrates the most eye-catching images found in the course of their researchers' studies -- celebrating the serendipitous convergence of science and art. Materials researchers may struggle for years with stubborn instruments, fragile crystals or difficult chemical reactions before obtaining a bit of precious data from the exotic substances they study. Now, the scrutiny of samples not only yields potentially important data, but also artistic inspiration. Take a look at the latest finalists."

POPSThe Alarmist's Slick Trick "How have Al Gore and the fraudsters pulled it off? It’s really simple. They just flipped the burden of proof and put it on the “deniers” — the skeptics, who don’t believe the computer models. With the Left in control of the media, you can do it. So now it’s prove to me you’re not a witch! Because there is no decisive evidence. There are 21 computer models that “prove” global warming over the next century. By the time 2050 rolls around, most of the modelers will be dead."

POPSConsequences of Materialism Bjorn Lomborg launched the Copenhagen Consensus with the question “How to spend $50 billion to make the World a Better Place” The 2004 Copenhagen Consensus published “Global Crises, Global Solutions” (2004, ISBN 0 521 60614 4) where eight distinguished economists ranked global challenges by cost effectiveness. The 2004 Copenhagen Consensus results were: 1. Control of AIDS 2. Providing micronutrients 3. Trade liberalisation 4. Control of malaria 5. Develop new agricultural tech 6. Community-managed water supply and sanitation 7. Small-scale water technology 8. Research on water productivity in food production 9. Lowering the cost of starting a business 10. Lowering barriers to migration for skilled workers 11. Improving infant and child nutrition 12. Scaled-up basic health services 13. Reducing the prevalence of LBW 14. Guest worker programmes for the unskilled 15. Optimal carbon tax 16. The Kyoto Protocol 17. Value-at-risk ca

POPSThe Next Great Pseudo-Science I've been reading a lot about this over the past few months. Talk about the brave new world. This is the next step in Materialist control. It will make political correctness look like child's play. If they can pawn global warming off, then this will be a snap. Get ready for more useful idiots to engage in the esoteric-eroticism while not having a clue what they are talking about.

POPSScience this century Via Amgumen's clip: Global Warming is an official psuedo-science. In his book "Dancing Naked in the Mind Field", Nobel laureate Kary Mullis (molecular biologist, biochemist and inventor of the Polymerase Chain Reaction) summarizes - in Chapter 11, appropriately entitled "What happened to the Scientific Method?" - the negative consequences of the pseudoscientific fads which Official Science regularly promotes, and the widespread stupidity that this engenders:

POPSThe Big Business of Global Warming Alarmism Via Aguman's clip: Global warming is an official pseudo-science. "'Global warming' is likely to be the most expensive pseudo-scientific hoax ever implemented. As of August 22, 2005 - and since the Kyoto protocol came into effect on February 16, 2005 - the Kyoto Agreement has cost 80 billion dollars for, supposedly, a prevention of warming by 0.0008 deg C... To prevent a 1 deg C increase it will cost some 100 trillion dollars . One can measure this wasteful capital expenditure by the 16 billion that was needed to shore up New Orleans and the Mississippi delta from a stage 5 hurricane like Katrina, or by the paltry 3 billion that the US spends annually in orthodox research on alternative energy (reduced, in essence, to solar cells and wind turbines) . 'Global warming' is a clearcut example of the central role acquired by antiproduction in global capitalism. "

POPSIn support of the facts on anthropogenic global warming The basic facts are as follows. There is nothing unusual about the present climate. The Earth has been far, far warmer than today and far, far colder. Our present interglacial (the mild bit between ice ages) is not nearly as warm as previous interglacials. Nor are we in a particularly warm part of the interglacial.

POPSDenier is the new heretic. When an ignorant moron takes to calling someone a denier they are showing they cannot deal in the real world of facts and science. More typical foolishness of the LIARS that fall for such lunacy. I call them liars because they cannot make a case. They do not discuss the merits of the science and usually display they have no clue what they are talking about. They call Bush a liar because of perhaps faulty intelligence. However, on the global warming issue the facts are clear.

POPSGlobal Warming Myth Exposed - Devastated I realize the understanding of science in America and Europe especially is ridiculously poor. However, this presenter does a fine job of presenting the facts regarding the claims of the global warming alarmists.
