  EXPERTS Finally Speaking Out

  AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING!!!

  “Gore Doesn’t Know What He’s Talking About”

  

  NEW ORLEANS — The top hurricane forecaster in the world called Al Gore “a gross alarmist” for making an Oscar-winning documentary about global warming and said “He’s one of these guys that preaches the end of the world type of things. I think he’s doing a great disservice and he doesn’t know what he’s talking about,” William Gray said in an interview Friday  (5/18/07) with The Associated Press at the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans, where he delivered the closing speech.

  Over the past 24 years, Gray, 77, has become known as America’s most reliable hurricane forecaster.

  Gray’s statements came the same day the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change approved a report that concludes the world will face dire consequences to food and water supplies, along with increased flooding and other dramatic weather events, unless nations adapt to climate change.

  Rather than global warming, Gray believes a recent uptick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.

   Carbon Dioxide, Global Warming, and Storm Strength Not Linked!

  FORT LAUDERDALE – Major cuts in carbon emissions would hurt the nation’s economy and provide little or no environmental benefit, a top hurricane predictor said Friday.

  And there’s scant evidence that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases affect hurricane power or frequency, professor William Gray told an audience Friday, the final day of the Governor’s Hurricane Conference in Fort Lauderdale.

  More than 4,000 attended the three-day event.

  “I’ve seen a lot come and go, and I’ve been appalled at the last 20 years I’ve seen,” said Gray, 76, a professor at Colorado State University who pioneered seasonal hurricane prediction methods.

  “I think it’s grossly exaggerated,” Gray continued, speaking of recent global warming predictions. “With all the problems this country has to face, this is a problem that’s not as serious as they say, and we can’t do anything about it anyway. There’s nothing we can do. If we cut down massively in the U.S and Europe, it will make very little difference in global climate change.”

  While Gray is famous in Florida for his hurricane predictions, in the academic world, he has gained a reputation in the past decade as old-school maverick scientist who prefers observational data to modern computer modeling — and as an increasingly shrill critic of former Vice President Al Gore.

  Gray has ridiculed other scientists in the popular press, saying their computer models underestimate the potential cooling from increased rainfall under the heat-trapping “greenhouse effect,” which he acknowledges.

  The same scientists have conceded that climate predictions are imperfect. But they say Gray doesn’t grasp the sophistication of modern supercomputers that use much-improved data from satellite imagery.

  Some studies, including one by federal researchers and one by Kerry Emanuel at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have suggested that global warming could cause hurricanes to grow stronger than they otherwise would, leading to more Category 4 and 5 storms.

  But Gray said hurricane activity is driven more by a major Atlantic Ocean current called the thermohaline circulation. The circulation currently is in a stronger pattern of increased warming in the northern Atlantic, which creates periods of increased storm activity, Gray said.

  “It’s not global warming, it’s this local thermohaline circulation we think is causing it,” he said. “How long do we think it’s going to last? Probably about 15 to 20 years.”

  Gray and his understudy, Phil Klotzbach, stuck to their April prediction on Friday: 17 named storms, nine hurricanes, including five with winds greater than 110 mph. They will update the prediction May 31 and Aug. 3.

  Based on this year’s conditions and on landfall statistics from the past century, Klotzbach said the probability of a Category 3 or higher storm making landfall on America’s coastlline is 74 percent, compared with 52 percent over the past century. The chances for the U.S. East Coast, including Florida , are 50 percent, compared with 31 percent for the century.

  A trend of cooling Pacific Ocean water also could lead to the climate cycle called La Nina, they said, which creates less wind to shear tropical cyclones apart before they grow to hurricanes.

  “We think that’s likely to be the case this year,” Klotzbach said. “It appears we are trending towards a weak to moderate La Nina event this summer.”

  These natural cycles, especially the thermohaline circulation, have more influence on hurricanes than long-term increases in greenhouse gases, Gray said.

  “Things are not going to get worse, even though CO2 is going to build up,” he said. “I think the public has been misled. I don’t think you should worry we’re making storms worse.”

  People Not To Blame For Global Warming

  (CBS4) MIAMI Dr.William Gray is widely respected in the scientific community. He is a professor in the department of atmospheric science at Colorado State University and says it’s much too early to blame people for global warming.
  
  CBS-4′s Shomari Stone had a chance to talk to Dr. Gray at the Governor’s Hurricane Conference in Fort Lauderdale and asked him if he believes humans are the cause for global warming.
  
  “I think this is a natural cycle,” said Dr. Gray. “I’m not saying humans aren’t doing a little bit, but they’re certainly not the major cause of the climate change.”
  
  That’s quite a different stance from what Al Gore and some environmental groups like Greenpeace allege. They say humans are responsible for global warming through carbon dioxide and other green house gas emissions over the last 30 years.
  
  “How do they know that?” said Dr Gray. “Unless they have been working down in the trenches with weather for over 50 years like I have, most of my colleagues with similar experiences are very skeptical of the whole global warming.”
  
  The threat of global warming may be melting polar ice cap, resulting in a rise in sea levels, But Dr. Gray and a number of award winning climatologist’s believe the number of hurricanes is on a natural 30 year cycle, related to the deep ocean, circulation patterns, not global warming.
  
  “We have had this long 30-year cooling now from the middle to late 70′s,” said Dr. Gray. “The ocean, basic ocean current of the Atlantic Thermo Halen has changed and with a lag, I believe we are going to see some gradual global cooling as we saw from the middle 1940s to the middle 1970s.”
  
  Dr. Gray adds Al Gore, as well as some environmental groups and media outlets, are scaring people with the threats of global warming. .
  
  “It’s alarmism, but it makes good press,” claims Dr. Gray. “They think maybe its happening. This is in the good that we alarm people like this so they will cut down on their fossil fuels.
  
  At 77 years old, Dr. Gray is pleased to share his views on global warming, but he wishes the federal government would be as open minded and fair.
  
  “They don’t fund the skeptics. I have had trouble the last 15 years getting grant money because I have been well known as being a global warming skeptic, Said Dr. Gray. “They say that’s not the case, but I know it is.”

  NASA’S CHIEF Says:

  Global Warming Ain’t So!!!!!

  NASA CHIEF administrator Michael Griffin continues to draw the ire of preeminent climate scientists inside and outside of NASA, as well as members of Congress, after apparently downplaying the need to combat global warming.

  In an interview broadcast yesterday on National Public Radio’s “Morning Edition” program, Griffin was asked by NPR’s Steve Inskeep whether he is concerned about global warming.

  “I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists,” Griffin told Inskeep. “I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.”

  “To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth’s climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn’t change,” Griffin said. “I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that’s a rather arrogant position for people to take.”

  Griffin’s comments immediately drew stunned reaction from James Hansen, NASA’s top climate scientist at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York.

  “It’s an incredibly arrogant and ignorant statement,” Hansen told ABC News. “It indicates a complete ignorance of understanding the implications of climate change.”

  Hansen believes Griffin’s comments fly in the face of well-established scientific knowledge that hundreds of NASA scientists have contributed to.

  “It’s unbelievable,” said Hansen. “I thought he had been misquoted. It’s so unbelievable.”

  Several other NASA climate scientists contacted by ABC News echoed Hansen’s comments, saying an overwhelming majority of their colleagues believe global warming is an urgent issue that society should be addressing. The scientists asked that their names not be used because they did not want to jeopardize their careers.

  Griffin’s comments also angered scientists outside of NASA.

  “I was shocked by the statement and I think the administrator ought to resign. I don’t see how he can be the effective leader of a science agency if he doesn’t understand the threat of global warming,” said Michael Oppenheimer, a Princeton University atmospheric scientist and lead author of some of the latest reports issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. The international body, made up of thousands of climate scientists is considered one of the most authoritative bodies on global warming.

  News media inquiries to NASA headquarters about Griffin’s comments prompted the space agency to make the unusual move of issuing a news release late Wednesday night.

  “NASA is the world’s preeminent organization in the study of Earth and the conditions that contribute to climate change and global warming,” Griffin said in a statement. “The agency is responsible for collecting data that is used by the science community and policy makers as part of an ongoing discussion regarding our planet’s evolving systems. It is NASA’s responsibility to collect, analyze and release information. It is not NASA’s mission to make policy regarding possible climate change mitigation strategies. As I stated in the NPR interview, we are proud of our role and I believe we do it well.”

  Inconvenient FACTS

  or

  Why Al Gore Is Full Of Shit!

  Hollywood & the Oscar’s make me sick, in fact nothing else makes me sicker. Over-Inflated Al Gore & millionaire movie star cronies living in extravagance telling me what I must do to save the environment. How smug. How benevolent. How convenient.  How arrogant they are, reinforcing their self-delusional superiority by telling us what we need to do (because we are too stoopid to live w/out their guidance) to save the world.        Why can’t we have politician’s like Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus  who recently said in The Washington Times, March 10, 2007, that ”global warming is a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so. It is not fair to refer to the U.N. panel. The IPCC is not a scientific institution: it’s a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It’s neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment…other top-level politicians” do not express their global warming doubts because “a whip of political correctness strangles [their] voice.”  If you think Klaus is just some stoopid eastern european dictator, think again and read what he wrote about transforming his country out of 3rd worldism via the installation of a  free market economy here  http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj14n2/cj14n2-1.pdf, in the Cato Journal, Vol 4, #2, Fall 1994.

  My suggestion to bloated Al Gore. First, let’s deal with all the extra weight his over-inflated body  is carrying around.   What about his “food footprint”?  He might wanna donate some of his caloric allowance to feed a small African nation or two. A diet might do him some good. You don’t’ need to be a doctor to tell that he’s on the fast track to a heart-attack anyway. Isn’t he eating more than his “fair share” (a clinton-gore slogan) of food anyway?   But he, and those like him, can tell us we need to cut out the transfats and force us to by making laws that tell private property owners (restaurant owners) what they can and can’t serve (transfatty oils) in their own restaurants.   Gore is more filled with hot air than our Co 2 filled globally over-heated atmosphere.  And if he, or anyone else don’t like certain fried foods (and you know Gore must), who the fudge is forcing them down their (or anyones) throats?  In otherwords, they dont’ have any self control, or don’t believe you have any, so they force rules and laws on the rest of us to assuage their guilt.  Why can’t grown adults decide for themselves what to eat or what to serve at their own restaurants?  Why?  Because Al Gore knows better, that is why.

      And didn’t you just love the video playing behind Melissa Etheridge’s performance telling us that we should ride a bike to work.  Did any of these rich, arrogant asshole rock or movie stars ride their bikes to the Oscars instead of taking jets (a major waste of oil, since other more efficient means of transportation are readily available) and limos? Hasn’t anybody noticed that most of them have half a dozen or so fancy cars and one or two multi-million dollar houses, yet they have the nerve to tell me i need to set my thermostat lower? What arrogance. What horseshit. When they give up their luxuries (they ain’t living in log cabins at the end of dirt paths in the woods growing their own tomatoes fertilized with goat dung) I’ll think about trying to sacrifice some of my luxuries too, like the recommended lowering of 2 degrees on my thermostat from 70 to 68 degrees, when Melissa Etherige rides a bike to the Emmys or Oscar’s or whatever the heck the name of that crappy show was. 

      What about all the extra resources used and the pollution created in the production of all their fancy limos, extra cars, oversized mansions and swimming pools, jets and things that these *sswipes have no guilt over enjoying?  What about the waste and resources used in the creation of that stoopid show?  If this show wasn’t a waste then I dont’ know what is.   Why should the average American family that has one or two cars, one house of normal size and square footage have to conserve so the extra resources can be used (and pollution created) to allow the Gore-Set to take limos, fly around in jets, have multiple large (vacation) houses and pools and expensive cars?   The answer is obvious and President Klaus of the Czech Republic said it as well as anyone.

    ”Environmentalism only pretends to deal with environmental protection, the global warming movement was just the latest environmental scare campaign, following on the short-lived fears of a population explosion in the 1970s and the expanding ozone hole in the 1980s.  They keep shooting at a moving target.  Behind the terminology is really an ambitious attempt to radically reorganize the world.”   .” Mr. Klaus said this in an address for the libertarian Cato Institute.

      The Czech president is right.  They want to control your lives in a very total and complete way, and this is the foot in the door, and they’ll use any excuse necessary.  The pattern has always been the same, create a crisis, get everyone scared, proclaim yourself the enlightened savior and use this as the excuse to seize power.  Remember “the beast” in the Lord of the Flies?  Remember WMD’s?  Remember only 10 years left of oil supplies in the 70′s?   Remember the red scare and the domino theory?  Remember Fascism?  That’s too far?  It is?  Did you read what Gore has done to intimidate opponents of his theories?  If not read on.  The fact is that this is nothing new, and that’s what’s so scary.

  “Scientists who want to attract attention to themselves, who want to attract great funding to themselves, have to (find a) way to scare the public . . . and this you can achieve only by making things bigger and more dangerous than they really are.”

  Yes, the divinity school dropout tells us to conserve energy while his gas and electric bills for his 20-room home and pool house devoured nearly 221,000 kilowatt-hours in 2006, more than 20 times the national average of 10,656 kilowatt-hours.  Make of this what you want, but let’s be real, Al Gore feels he’s an exception to the rules that he wants us all to follow.

  Al Gore also has multiple natural gas lanterns in his yard, a large heated pool, and electric gates. In 2006 the Gores averaged a monthly electricity bill of $1,359 for using 18,414 kilowatt-hours, and $1,461 per month for using 16,200 kilowatt-hours in 2005. During that time, Nashville Gas Company billed the family an average of $536 a month for the main house and $544 for the pool house in 2006, and $640 for the main house and $525 for the pool house in 2005. That averages out to be $29,268 in gas and electric bills for the Gores in 2006, $31,512 in 2005.  

  [Source for the above is TennseePolicy.org .]

  Make what you want out of this information.  But the truth is that Al gore doesn’t exactly live by the rules he sets for others whether or not you feel that is fair.  Sure, the Gore people say that he buys “green” energy and that is more expensive (actually for Gore it isn’t as the figures from Gore’s power bill, reported by the AP, show Gore paying about 7.5 cents a kilowatt-hour – pretty much exactly what he’d be paying if he bought his juice from the big coal-fired plant up the road).  But does that account for a bill that is 20 times what the average family has?  And, did you know that Gore just happens to be the Chairman of the company from which he buys this “green” energy, Generation Investment Management?  So, he pays a bit more for his energy from a company in which he is heavily invested in, in essence buying the electricity from himself.    And what is “green” energy anyway?  Well, basically it means the company (and remember Gore is the chairman) gets it’s energy from some higher percentage of  solar, wind or hydroelectric sources and plants some trees (but Gore’s electric company is  NES, which gets its electricity from TVA, and  most of TVA’s electricity is from the fossil fuel and Co2 emitting coal).  Does this justify his excessive use of utilities?  Well, Gore still uses lots of energy and the fact that a higher percentage of his electricity comes from “renewable” resources than the average person does not excuse or change this fact.  His excessive use means he creates a shortage for others that in turn drives up the price.  Is he a hypocrite?  I’ll leave that up to you to decide, but he uses a hell of a lot more energy than the average family, whom he tells to conserve, does.
  

  
  
  

  Inconvenient FACTS: (Gathered by me with the sources at end of list) 1.  Rises in CO2 and the activities of man DO NOT cause global warming. a. More Co2 does NOT lead to warming.  The global average rise in temperature is roughly one degree Celsius or less at equilibrium for a doubling of the air’s carbon dioxide concentration.That is meager warming for so profound a change in the air’s carbon dioxide content. Indeed, it is within the range of climate’s natural variability.(1)  b. Any warming from the growth of greenhouse gases is likely to be minor, difficult to detect above the natural fluctuations of the climate, and therefore inconsequential. (2) c. The last ice age ended approximately 10,000 years ago. This was followed by a period of significant global warming that lasted —5,000 years. The average temperature in this time frame was 2 to 3 degrees Celsius HIGHER THAN WE FIND TODAY. (4) d.  A whole study showing a completely insignificant relationship between C02 and global warming can  be found here (  http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p36.htm ).  This research has numerous graphs of climate and Co2 rates documenting it’s findings.  It also has temperature and climate graphs showing the fact that NO WARMING has generally occured that can be significantly linked to the “unatural activities” of man. (12) e. Rises in CO2 FOLLOW rises in temperature.  An EXCELLENT presentation by Dr. Lee C. Gerhard, State Geologist and Director of the Kansas Geological Survey showing information gathered by Khilyuk, L.F. and Chilingar, G.V. 2006 shows that spikes in CO2 in the atmosphere FOLLOW rises in the climate temperature, and DO NOT PRECEED it! (14) Find it Here —-> http://www.clearlight.com/~mhieb/WVFossils/Reference_Docs/Gerhard_Climate_Change.pdf or Here http://www.warwickhughes.com/geol/index2.htm 2. Global warming if it does exist, is most like the result of natural phenomenon. a. 98% of the Co2 put into the air is put there by NATURE. (3) b. In July 2004, the London Telegraph reported on a study by Swiss and German scientists suggesting increased radiation from the SUN – not human activity – was to blame for climate changes. (2) c. Twentieth century temperature changes show a strong correlation with the sun’s changing energy output. (1) d. The main greenhouse effect is natural and is caused by water vapor and clouds. (1) e. “Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance.” (7) 3.  Global Warming & GLOBAL COOLING has intemittantly and alternately been predicted repeatedly by the “experts” for over a century. (5)   Popular magazines like Time, Newsweek, Fortune and other magazines carried articles in the 1970′s that fortold of a coming ice age the result of manmade atmospheric pollution blocking out the sun. (5) 4.  Al Gore’s home electric bill is 20 times more than the average American household. (6)   Like it or not, it is what it is.  Draw your own conclusions.  5. TWO BILLION years of earth’s temperature (looks like we’re in a very COLD period): (8) Earth’s temperature/climate over the last few THOUSANDS of years: (9) Last 100 Years of Earth’s temperature (not too many trends here): (9) The temperature has gone DOWN for the last last few decades: (14) 6. Scientists Do/Don’t Agree!  a. “The basic agreement frequently described as representing scientific unanimity concerning global warming is entirely consistent with there being virtually no problem at all.” and, “Intimidation has mostly, but not exclusively, been used against those questioning alarmism.” by none other than Al Gore. (9). b. One of the most heavily publicized “proof” of scientific consensus in the last decade concerning climate change has been the Oreskes Study [Oreskes, Naomi. “The Scientific Consensus on Climate Change” Science Vol.306, 3 December 2004 Vol. 1686] as stated by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). But, when results of  a surveys used in these study are looked at IN DETAIL, they suggest just the OPPOSITE.  For example, one question on the survey asked “To what extent do you agree or disagree that climate change is mostly the result of anthropogenic causes?  This question had a  mean score of 3.62 (on a scale of 1 to 7 with 1=strongly agree and 7=strongly disagree).  THIS is NOT consensus especially when you find out that ONLY 9.4% of the respondents “strongly agree”. with that statement.  In other words, 10% is consensus as far as the Oreskes study has been represented.  Detailed results of the (above/Oreskes) study published in Science, Vol 306, Issue 5702, 1686 , 3 December 2004 here . c. The letter about the above results sent to  Science Magazine that it refused to publish Here. d. Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus  recently said in The Washington Times, March 10, 2007, that ”global warming is a false myth and every serious person and scientist says so”. e.  During the past 2 years, more than 17,100 basic and applied American scientists, two-thirds with advanced degrees, have signed the Global Warming Petition which states that “the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.” (12)  f. Opposition is suppressed. “A final aspect of politicization is the explicit intimidation of scientists. It is essential to discuss this unsavory subject – albeit briefly and incompletely. Intimidation has mostly, but not exclusively, been used against those questioning alarmism. Victims of such intimidation generally remain silent for reasons that will become evident. Thus, prior to 1992, then Senator Gore ran at least two hearings in order to pressure scientists who questioned his views.” (13) g. “the theory of currently observed global atmospheric warming as a result of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emission is a myth,” and  has “proved to be an enduring one.” Khilyuk, L.F. and Chilingar, G.V. 2006.
