The Imploding 'Man Made' Global Warming Bubble In The US

In the US, the global warming paranoia or bubble seems to be imploding. And like any social fads, bubbles eventually unravel and fade.

This from Gallup,


``The last two years have marked a general reversal in the trend of Americans' attitudes about global warming. Most Gallup measures up to 2008 had shown increasing concern over global warming on the part of the average American, in line with what one might have expected given the high level of publicity on the topic. Former Vice President Al Gore had been particularly prominent in this regard, with the publication of his bestselling book, "An Inconvenient Truth," an Academy Award-winning documentary movie focusing on his global warming awareness campaign, and Gore's receipt of a Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.

``But the public opinion tide turned in 2009, when several Gallup measures showed a slight retreat in public concern about global warming. This year, the downturn is even more pronounced."

shows how American sentiment towards global warming appear as...

collapsing!!!

For us, climate change is a real phenomenon. It's plainly the work of mother nature than from the activities of people, the latter of which constitutes only a fraction of influence on nature.

Common sense tells us that if we can't predict earthquakes what more for us to presume the accuracy of gloom and doom predictions or the alleged adverse consequences from "carbon emissions", years ahead.

People's belief in the gospel of model derived scientific analysis had been unwarranted; if quant models failed to predict the latest financial catastrophe, and was believed to have exacerbated the crisis, how much more should we come to believe that people's presumed actions (based on models) are far potent than the influences of mother nature?

Obviously, anything unsustainable won't last.

And with climategate or the revelation where mainstream scientists had been unmasked or exposed to have 'manipulated, suppressed and or distorted' data just to be able come up with conclusion that weather changes was due to anthropogenic reasons, the mainstream scientific model has been under siege.

Gallup adds, ``Some of the shifts in Americans' views may reflect real-world events, including the publicity surrounding allegations of scientific fraud relating to global warming evidence, and -- perhaps in some parts of the country -- a reflection of the record-breaking snow and cold temperatures of this past winter. Additionally, evidence from last year showed that the issue of global warming was becoming heavily partisan in nature, and it may be that the continuing doubts about global warming put forth by conservatives and others are having an effect."

So partisan politics and empirical evidences have been mainly responsible for this change in sentiment.

Of course what's not been said is that partisan politics is the attempt to pin the blame on people actions for changes in weather so as to justify measures to control or regulate people's behavior (euphemistically called socialism).

In the Philippines, media remains reticent about the global warming bubble. That's because it seems fun to live in a fantasyworld in the belief that a political superman would come and save the day from the villains (markets) or mother nature.

More Evidence On The Deflating Man Made Climate Change Bubble

The anthropomorphic climate change hysteria is fast proving to be a deflating bubble [see earlier post here Exposing The Fraud Behind Man Made Global Warming? ]

According to Sciencenews.org (bold highlights mine)

``A London newspaper reports today that the unsubstantiated Himalayan-glacier melt figures contained in a supposedly authoritative 2007 report on climate warming were used intentionally, despite the report’s lead author knowing there were no data to back them up.

``Until now, the organization that published the report – the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – had argued the exaggerated figures in that report were an accident: due to insufficient fact checking of the source material.

``Uh, no. It now appears the incident wasn’t quite that innocent.

``The Sunday Mail’s David Rose reached Murari Lal, the coordinating lead author of the 2007 IPCC report’s chapter on Asia. Lal told Rose that he knew there were no solid data to support the report’s claim that Himalayan glaciers – the source of drinking and irrigation water for downstream areas throughout Asia – could dry up by 2035. Said Lal: “We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action.” In other words, Rose says, Lal “last night admitted [the scary figure] was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.”

``A noble motive, perhaps, but totally inexcusable."

Uh.ummm. The Emperor [man made climate change religion] wears NO clothes!

Climate Change: The Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Generation

Sir Ernest John Pickstone Benn once said, ``Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy."

Since the environmental science issue of climate change or man made "anthropogenic" global warming has been transposed into political policies, like any politicized issues-deception and skulduggery have been used to promote vested interests.

Christopher Booker at the Telegraph presents a neat summary of how politics has transformed the global warming episode as the "greatest scientific scandal of our generation" to quote Professor Mark Perry.

(bold highlight mine, sub titles in blue font mine)

``There are three threads in particular in the leaked documents which have sent a shock wave through informed observers across the world. Perhaps the most obvious, as lucidly put together by Willis Eschenbach (see McIntyre's blog Climate Audit and Anthony Watt's blog Watts Up With That ), is the highly disturbing series of emails which show how Dr Jones and his colleagues have for years been discussing the devious tactics whereby they could avoid releasing their data to outsiders under freedom of information laws."

1. Data Suppression

``They have come up with every possible excuse for concealing the background data on which their findings and temperature records were based.

``This in itself has become a major scandal, not least Dr Jones's refusal to release the basic data from which the CRU derives its hugely influential temperature record, which culminated last summer in his startling claim that much of the data from all over the world had simply got "lost". Most incriminating of all are the emails in which scientists are advised to delete large chunks of data, which, when this is done after receipt of a freedom of information request, is a criminal offence.

``But the question which inevitably arises from this systematic refusal to release their data is – what is it that these scientists seem so anxious to hide?"

2. Data Manipulation

``The second and most shocking revelation of the leaked documents is how they show the scientists trying to manipulate data through their tortuous computer programmes, always to point in only the one desired direction – to lower past temperatures and to "adjust" recent temperatures upwards, in order to convey the impression of an accelerated warming. This comes up so often (not least in the documents relating to computer data in the Harry Read Me file) that it becomes the most disturbing single element of the entire story. This is what Mr McIntyre caught Dr Hansen doing with his GISS temperature record last year (after which Hansen was forced to revise his record), and two further shocking examples have now come to light from Australia and New Zealand.

``In each of these countries it has been possible for local scientists to compare the official temperature record with the original data on which it was supposedly based. In each case it is clear that the same trick has been played – to turn an essentially flat temperature chart into a graph which shows temperatures steadily rising. And in each case this manipulation was carried out under the influence of the CRU.

``What is tragically evident from the Harry Read Me file is the picture it gives of the CRU scientists hopelessly at sea with the complex computer programmes they had devised to contort their data in the approved direction, more than once expressing their own desperation at how difficult it was to get the desired results."

3. Censorship

``The third shocking revelation of these documents is the ruthless way in which these academics have been determined to silence any expert questioning of the findings they have arrived at by such dubious methods – not just by refusing to disclose their basic data but by discrediting and freezing out any scientific journal which dares to publish their critics' work. It seems they are prepared to stop at nothing to stifle scientific debate in this way, not least by ensuring that no dissenting research should find its way into the pages of IPCC reports."

Dr. Tim Ball On Climategate

In Exposing The Fraud Behind Man Made Global Warming? [Climategate], we showed how hackers managed to infiltrate into the computers files of climatologist researchers and expose the alleged manipulation of data to present proof of that global warming is man made.

The corberttreports interviews retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball on this expose. According to Dr. Ball "the manipulation of records on this level... you have to think it has to be criminal somewhere."
