Steve called in on Tuesday, if we don’t get any action going soon hes got a rural village development project that I could start up for him, until we get something going with the Gardens.
The good news for the week is that we have had the Grassroots Funding approved, so there is $700,000 waiting for us to utilise once we have the tenure problem sorted out between Forestry, Council and SEB.
Our lady at the Japanese Consul is going to have a meeting with Forestry Head and try to talk sense into him next week. The hard bit in it all is that we have to try to tell Keithie that it may be in the best interests of SEB if she stepped down as Chairperson of the HBC. Oh well, it’s going to be an interesting time when she gets back from Europe at the end of the month.
I’ve posted in here before about my thoughts towards Global Warming, in brief, it’s a load of bollocks, but there has been such a good publicity campaign it has become accepted, dodgy junk science and all. Now we have Africa, Asia, the Pacific Islands India all getting ready to sue the western developed nations for the damage caused to their economies. The whole thing is going to backfire so badly and bankrupt what is left of the world economy after America bankrupted itself last year, well, over the past 10 years.
I can’t see the IPCC admitting they were wrong, despite all the evidence accumulating against AGW.
The height of the stupidity for me was here this week, when one of the local students won a scholarship and grant to present a paper at some conference on AGW soon, basing her experience of AGW on the 2007 earthquake here. Blaming AGW for the earthquake and the aftermath. The mind boggles about the sheer biased stupid teaching that can allow rubbish like that to persist. Same with the Carteret Islands, Tuvalu, blaming AGW for the damage to their Islands, when they have been the main causes of the problem themselves, with using dynamite for reef fishing, paving 25% of the island for airport in Tuvalu, so that the fresh water runs off instead of replenishing the aquifer.
I’ll post the entire article I found on LewRockwell.com here for reference. The last two paragraphs tell it all, hoisted by their own petard is a good phrase for this whole stupid scaremongering looney left campaign.
I have the Paper written by Alan Carlin that the IPCC refused to publish, I will start posting it in here from tomorrow. It’ll take a week or so, it is long and involved, so I’ll post a few pages at a time. It is going to be interesting to see how this whole mess is sorted out over the next couple of years as the world cools down, unless Sun-spot cycle 24 starts soon.
If all this hadn’t happened before you could almost excuse the idiots, but in 1922 the world was going to heat up and everyone would be flooded, in 1975 it was going to freeze and mass starvation would occur. I’ll post the newspaper clippings from both.

Carbon Cops Turn Keystone Cops: But There Is Nothing to Laugh About
It is just plain difficult to connect the solemnity of a United Nations meeting more than a decade ago with the current circus called climate change.
Then, the President of France, Jacques Chirac, told the thousands in attendance that the science of Global Warming was settled, that Global Warming was the essential third leg of Global Government, and that carbon cops simply needed to be issued their marching orders in every developed country as the Agenda for the Twenty-First Century got implemented.
Now, the Former French President is written about as having been the butt of jokes and a suspected crook, the science of global warming is far from settled, wannabe global government has no legs, and carbon cops have been turning in Keystone Cops performances.
The lost temperature data
The British have enacted a comedy straight out of the pages of my-dog-ate-my-homework. The Carbon Cops in charge of global temperature records now admit they have lost or destroyed all the original data that would allow any third party to construct a global temperature record. The Climate Research Unit in East Anglia, England, generates the most cited surface temperature record set used by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, whose reports present alarming scenarios generated upon that data. Thus, data which cannot be seen or questioned is part of the settled science. You’ve got to love the sheer chutzpah of this move.
The biased temperature data
Cat On a Hot Tin Roof was not a comedy, but to be surprised that tin roofs do get hot makes me laugh. Nearly 90% of US official temperature stations show extreme heat bias, says a new study by meteorologist Anthony Watts. Nine out of every ten stations are reporting higher or rising temperatures just because they are placed near sidewalks and buildings that absorb and radiate heat, are located next to the exhaust fans of air conditioning units, are surrounded by asphalt parking lots and roads, or are on blistering-hot rooftops. Nobody drives to a city to experience its cooling effect. Of course instruments in urban centers will display higher temperatures. Besides bad siting, changes in the technology of these temperature stations have also caused the sites to report false warming trends. Additionally, NOAA and NASA Carbon Cops have made arbitrary adjustments to the data that have caused recent temperatures to look higher. Such biased data can hardly yield reliable temperature records
The misleading ice-claim data
It is difficult to maintain credibility when one of the captains of the Carbon Cops – Greenpeace – exaggerates. Greenpeace’s retiring leader, Gerd Leipold, released misleading information. He had in July urged action, claiming the Arctic would be ice-free by 2030 because of global warming. But, by mid-August Leipold admitted that that claim was "a mistake." The outgoing leader’s admission that Greenpeace did issue misleading information has become an embarrassment to the organization.
The EPA suppressed data
The US EPA is poised to become Chief Carbon Cop, but their antics this year is the stuff of comedic tragedies. A substantive 100-page report submitted by the senior EPA research analyst, Dr. Alan Carlin, showed that the EPA was not using best available science in its role of considering whether CO2 and other greenhouse gases were endangering human health. For his efforts, the EPA suppressed his internal report and its critical claims. Then, the EPA ordered Carlin to stop working on global warming issues, because criticism of the EPA could cause trouble. Now, the EPA considers closing down Dr. Carlin’s agency unit. Carlin himself feels that his job is in jeopardy. So much for the good American tradition of whistleblowing.
Isn’t it enough of a joke that as CO2 emissions rise, temperatures continue to fall? I mean, the alarmist hypothesis swears that CO2 emissions cause global warming. That’s why the world must stop breathing out to save the planet. So, why did warming stop and cooling take over in 2001? This wasn’t in any of the computer models.
Not only is the climate not cooperating, politicians have been contrary, too.
Senate Democrats keep delaying legislation. They may be so contrary that they leave Obama empty-handed for three big upcoming climate change attractions: the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh on September 24, UN continuing negotiations in Bangkok beginning September 28, and the UN conference in Copenhagen in December.
This circus production could be dismissed as bad comedy, but there is blowback coming our western way and it will not be funny. The world is now convinced that any climate anyone doesn’t like is the fault of us westerners who emitted CO2. We have screamed too much. We have lost the data that had to be secured. We have biased the temperature data that deserved honest sites. We have issued misleading data. We have suppressed data while persecuting the whistleblower. We have alarmed too many.
Africa, China and India don’t even need to believe in the AGW (anthropogenic global warming) hypothesis for them to see the path they will take. We have handed them the arguments to claim whatever we produce. After all, we caused the destruction of their planet. Our CO2 emissions made it too wet or too dry, too hot or too cold, too stormy or too calm, too static or too changing. If we insist on limiting carbon dioxide emissions, we will limit their development. It doesn’t matter that we will hamstring our own. The lesser-developed nations have learned that they are our victims. Financial and technological reparations will be demanded, despite the stark and bleak fact that the western economic cupboard is empty, also. They will have to blame someone.
All Al Gore and the earnest environmentalists wanted to do was to facilitate a "wrenching transformation" of our society. They will have it. Our head will be delivered up to us on a platter; and it will be the head of a clown.
September 10, 2009
Here are the 2 newspaper clippings, 1975 when we were going to have another ice-age within 5 years, and from 1922, when the ice receded even further than it has ever since. If you plot the time curves, it is a roughly 60 year cycle for both things to occur, 30 years each, which just happens to coincide with the solar cycle of sunspot activity. Volcanoes and ENSO and El Nino, la nina patterns affect the earth more than anything else.
