October 31 2008
Treasurer Wayne Swan had to get out of his woollies yesterday before
telling us the world really was warming - and we must pay.
You see, just days before he stood in Canberra, waving a Treasury
document he claimed would help stop us heating to hell, his own family
had shivered through a day that should make him finally wonder if there
really is any global warming.
Brisbane, his home town, had just endured its coldest October morning in
32 years, yet here was Swan telling us to spend billions in the belief
the planet was cooking instead.
It>s not only here that global warming believers are feeling a chill
they never expected.
In London on Tuesday, British politicians overwhelmingly passed
amendments to a Climate Change Bill that promises huge spending to stop
a catastrophic global warming they say is caused by our gases.
Yet, even as they voted, snow began to fall on Parliament House - the
first October snow in London in 74 years.
Yes, this is weather, not climate - something to remember the next time
some headline shrieks "global warming" at just another hot day.
But the fact is, as satellite measurements show, the planet hasn>t
warmed since 1998, and temperatures have now fallen for six years or
more.
The small warming we had from the 1970s on has paused, if not stopped,
and more scientists now suggest we may be in for decades of cold.
But in these mad times, cognitive dissonance rules. People feel cold but
think hot. Warming preachers demand carbon sacrifices, but fly first
class.
In fact, cognitive dissonance is becoming government policy. Take the
Government>s Drought Policy Review Expert Social Panel, which last week
said the word "drought" made farmers feel bad, and we should say
"dryness" instead. That would also make us think the drought was
actually global warming.
Likewise, Swan yesterday sold the Government>s planned tax on coal-fired
power and all things gassy, from steel to burping cows, as something to
help, not hurt, the economy.
And, of course, the Government is spending $164,000 a day on ads to
persuade us that this recent cooling should be called "climate change" -
and proof of warming instead.
Weird, yet it works.
Cooling is warming, and not even snow can persuade politicians they>re
not frying.

And it is stinking hot today.
In>t it rational that if you energise a system that is not in balance,
and the spinning of a ball, and the tilting of a spinning ball, and
the rotation relative to a heat source and changing topography etc etc
etc means that this system is never balanced ...
But isn>t it just intuitie that if you energise such a system the
vibrations around the mean will widen.
If you tap one of those punching bag thingys half way up and elastic
connectors attached at one end to the floor and at the other end to
the roof if you hit it with more energy it will get colder [further
away] and hotter [closer to you] that id you just give it a low energy
nudge.
Don>t you just know that? |

Obviously not in cloud-cuckoo land, which is where you appear to hail

"Attributing global climate change to human CO2 production is akin to
trying to diagnose an automotive problem by ignoring the engine
(analogous to the Sun in the climate system) and the transmission (water
vapour) and instead focusing entirely, not on one nut on a rear wheel,
which would be analogous to total CO2, but on one thread on that nut,
which represents the human contribution." Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of
the Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP.com), Former Professor
Of Climatology, University of Winnipeg |
