Contrary to what President Obama said in his overlong speech in Paris, the sea is not swallowing up villages, let alone entire islands; glaciers are not receding any faster than they did prior to 1970; and very few people are relocating to higher ground to escape rising sea levels from global warming. Climate change is by no means a worldwide threat, but climate change conferences just might be.
Marita Noon demonstrates from history and the modern record the absurdity of claims by climate scientist Richard Somerville that low-lying areas are under immediate threat from CO2-induced sea level rise and that increasing CO2 is threatening agricultural production. She presenrts evidence showing that sea levels in Roman and Medieval periods were significantly higher than those today, and that the weather today is not as extreme as television forecasters and news anchors would like us to think. Nonetheless, there is a climate threat today -- the Obama-Podesta climate policy agenda.
The current winter has seen Americans shivering through some of the coldest temperatures in decades. Antarctic ice is at an all-time high for the summer season there. And Russian scientist Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov is predicting a bicentennial cycle of deep cooling with a Little Ice Age starting perhaps less than half a century from now. Yet the global warmists worry about reducing carbon dioxide emissions and predicted dramatic rises in sea levels as federal regulators shut down coal, nuclear, and even natural gas power plants that are desperately needed to keep people warm -- and make no plans for the possibility of another cold cycle.
peaking at his State of the Union address, President Obama said: “We must do more to combat climate change…It’s true that no single event makes a trend. But the fact is, the 12 hottest years on record have all come in the last 15. Heat waves, droughts, wildfires, and floods – all are now more frequent and intense.” But there’s a big disconnect from facts here. In reality, there has been no increase in the strength or frequency of landfall hurricanes in the world’s five main hurricane basins during the past 50-70 years; there has been no increase in the strength or frequency in tropical Atlantic hurricane development during the past 370 years; the U.S. is currently enjoying the longest period ever recorded without intense Category 3-5 hurricane landfall; there has been no trend since 1950 evidencing any increased frequency of strong (F3-F-5) U.S. tornadoes; there has been no increase in U.S. flood magnitudes over the past 85 years; and long-term sea level rise is not accelerating.
Average planetary temperatures haven’t budged in 16 years. Hurricanes and strong tornadoes are at or near their lowest ebb in decades. Global sea ice is back to normal, Arctic ice is nearly normal, and the Antarctic icepack continues to grow. The rate of sea level rise remains what it was in 1900.
“At current melt rates, the Greenland ice sheet would take about 13,000 years to melt completely, which would result in a global sea level rise of more than 21 feet (6.5 meters).”
Fear-mongering and GIGO computer models have replaced evidence-based science, history.
Nuclear reactors are the best source of zero carbon electricity, yet they are opposed in the name of climate.
Ignoring the inconvenient climate facts.
If California holds "renewables" to the same disclosure requirements as everyone else it won't paint a pretty picture of wind and solar.
