Why should increasing volcanic activity concern us?

Look at the number of catastrophes – including intensive volcanism – that have befallen our planet in almost perfect sync with equinoctial precession during the last 34,000 years alone:

34,000 years ago
Lake Mungo (Australia) magnetic excursion. Extinction.  Short-term ice build-up, then ice age ends abruptly. Lake  Missoula flood. Lake Bonneville flood. Beryllium spike.  Intensive volcanism.  Neanderthal disappears.

23,000 years ago
Mono Lake magnetic excursion. Extinction. Ice age begins abruptly. European elephant disappears. Mammoths  clobbered. Carbon-14 spike. Beryllium spike. Major volcanism. The Mono Lake event actually straddles a layer of ash.

11,000 years ago
Gothenburg magnetic excursion. Extinction; 72% of large mammal species go extinct, only 10% of small mammal species disappear. Rapid and severe ice build-up, then ice age ends in less than 20 years. Today’s warm period begins. Spikes in carbon-14, beryllium, and many other elements. Earthquakes in Scotland, Canada, and Scandinavia. Tectonic uplift along Nile, possibly worldwide. Exposed beds south of Göteburg uplift. Sea temperatures rise 10°F to 18°F. Gulf of Mexico flood. Lake Bonneville flood. Alberta’s badlands flood. Connecticut River flood. Lake Missoula flood. St. Lawrence River flood.  Nile River flood.  Many other superfloods. Worldwide volcanism. Mexican volcanism firmly dated at 11,580 years). Germany’s West Eiffel fields erupt. Mount St. Helens ash interlayered with Lake Missoula flood deposits, indicating simultaneous events). Glacier Peak, Washington, erupts. Alaskan volcanism of tremendous proportions. In Alaska and Siberia, ash lies interspersed through the piles of mammoth bones themselves. Mt. Katla, Iceland, erupts.

And that brings us to today, a period of rising sea levels, rising lake levels, rising sea temperatures, rising seismic activity, rising volcanic activity, and the worst floods in more than 500 years.

Here we sit, with the next beat of the ice-age cycle staring us in the face, while the President of the United States prattles on about global warming.

3 wildfires combine into one near Colo. tourist spots

3 wildfires combine into one near Colo. tourist spots

DEL NORTE, Colo. A colossal wildfire raging near popular tourist areas of the southwestern Colorado mountains more than doubled in size over the weekend, driven by winds and fueled by dead trees in drought-stricken forest, authorities said Sunday.

The weather has prevented fire crews from making progress against the blaze, which Sunday night was estimated at 114 square miles.

No structures have been lost in the fire, and no injuries have been reported.

Sunday, officials said most of the intense fire activity occurred on unburned areas inside the perimeter of what are technically three separate lightning-sparked fires.

But with heavy winds expected again Monday, the perimeter is expected to grow again, said Pete Blume, a commander with the Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Command Team.

Although crews Sunday were able to focus on efforts to protect towns like South Fork, the Wolf Creek ski area and homes along Highway 149, Blume said it was doubtful fire fighters would be able to establish any containment lines until there's a break in the hot, dry, windy weather, possibly Tuesday.

They remained optimistic, however, that they could protect South Fork, whose 400 residents and hundreds of summertime visitors were forced to flee on Friday after two of the fires joined and began a fast advance toward the town. The blaze Sunday was two to three miles away, Blume said.

Blume, a commander with the Rocky Mountain Type 1 Incident Command Team, said the wildfire is the worst ever known to hit the Rio Grande National Forest.

"It's not typical to have these kinds of fires here," said Blume, but beetle kill, the 30 to 40 mile an hour winds and extreme drought are "also not the norm."

federal officials are two more C-130 air tankers to help fight the fire, bringing that number to four. There is no containment of the blaze threatening South Fork, KCNC says.

Firefighters are hoping for a break in the high winds as well as the anticipated July monsoons to help them fight back the flames. Until then, Blume said, "With that much beetle kill and drought, we could have every resource in the country here and still not put in a containment line."

Still, fire officials believe portions of the blaze will likely burn all summer in forested, nonresidential areas, with full extinguishment probably months away.

The lightning-sparked blaze started June 5, but its rapid advance Friday prompted the evacuations.

Residents and tourists were settling in for a long wait before they could return to their homes, cabins and RV parks.

"They just said they had no idea how long it would be before we could be back in South Fork," said Mike Duffy, who owns the South Fork Lodge.

Duffy said he and his wife, Mary, were able to get their personal possessions before fleeing fast-advancing flames that officials initially feared would overtake the town. But with the fire still within three miles of South Fork, they are worried about the long-term impact of a prolonged evacuation and news reports about the fire raging around the tourism-dependent town.

Summer visitors include many retirees from Texas and Oklahoma who come to the mountains to flee the heat.

South Fork Mayor Kenneth Brooke estimates that as many as 1,500 people had to flee, including the summer visitors and permanent residents.

More than 600 firefighters were battling the blaze, and more are coming every day. They also focused on newest arm of the fire as it crept through beetle kill toward the historic mining town of Creede, the last silver boom town in Colorado before the industry went bust in the late 1800s.

Elsewhere in Colorado, about a dozen fires also continued to burn. Firefighters were making progress on a 19-square-mile wildfire near Walsenburg in southern Colorado. The fire was 10 percent contained.

And a wildfire in foothills about 30 miles southwest of Denver was expected to be fully contained Sunday evening. That fire burned 511 acres and forced 100 people to leave their homes.

Flooding in Alberta Forces 75,000 to Evacuate

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said that four people may have died near High River, Alberta, which was overwhelmed by floods earlier on Thursday. Two lifeless bodies were sighted but not recovered, a woman was apparently swept away in a camper and a man fell out of a canoe and disappeared.

A stationary weather system brought more rainfall in 48 hours than the normally arid region usually sees in a month, close to a foot of rain in some places.

The Bow River and the Elbow River spilled into five Calgary neighborhoods, forcing a shutdown of the city’s downtown. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation set up emergency facilities at a technical university after its radio and television studios were evacuated. In the Saddledome, where the Calgary Flames hockey team plays, water had risen to the eighth row of seats by midday. And although the city’s zoo, on an island in the Bow, was flooded, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said that it was not necessary to evacuate the animals “as much as I want the photograph of the lion in the jail.”

At a news conference, the mayor said the Bow River “looks like an ocean” and described watching the Elbow River spill over the top of a dam in Calgary, which has a metropolitan population of 1.2 million.

As the rain continued, the city began expanding the evacuation of the downtown early Friday afternoon.

About 1,200 troops were sent to southern Alberta to help with flood relief and Edmonton, the province’s more northern capital, which is unaffected by the rain, sent police officers to assist their counterparts in Calgary.

Several smaller communities sustained substantial property damage, including houses swept away by streams and rivers.

Martha McCallum, who owns a hiking and yoga business in the mountain resort town of Canmore, Alberta, said that flooding on the Trans-Canada Highway and a railway line had made it impossible to leave town. The property surrounding several houses along a normally docile creek had been washed away, she said, and rising floodwaters were less than two feet from the top of a berm protecting her neighborhood.

“You look down the creek and you see all the houses have their foundations exposed,” Ms. McCallum said. “We can still get uphill, but we can’t get very far.”

The police in High River were using borrowed pleasure boats to evacuate people from houses and large pieces of farm machinery, like combine harvesters, to rescue people in some rural towns.

After trees and other debris dislodged by flooding broke a sour gas pipeline on Thursday, residents of Turner Valley, Alberta, were evacuated or told to stay indoors. If inhaled, sour gas, which contains hydrogen sulfide, can cause injury or death.

Here we go!

Guess what! It's the longest day of the year for us Brits today, and now we begin our long, cold decent into winter.

Avalanche Slams into Mt Hutt’s Snowmaking Building | 40″ of Snow in 20 Hours!

 

In case you missed the post from yesterday (It’s Dumping Down Under!) New Zealand just got hammered with snow. At Mt Hutt the storm dropped 40 inches of snow in 20 hours!  This led to 15 foot snow drifts and  extremely high avalanche danger. Here are some photos of an avalanche that slammed into the resorts snowmaking building. 

So the snow keeps falling! Another 40 cms is forecast over the next 24 hours. The avalanche risk is extremely high right now – this pic shows the aftermath of an avalanche that hit our snowmaking building at about 4pm yesterday. Our patrol team have started using expolisives to trigger avalanches at both ends of the road. We also have snow clearing machinery working from both ends. Progress at the top is slow due to 5m + deep drifts but we have reached Scotts Saddle from the bottom, It goes without saying, the road is closed to all traffic as the avalanche hazard, even at lower altitudes, is still very high and we don’t want anybody to get in the way of the road crew.

100cm at the snow stake!

The global warming hullabaloo has always been a religious movement. It has never been scientific.

And as its political potency has waned, the modern-day clerics have become ever more strident.

Let me illustrate with a recent and local example.

Back in March, Dr James Renwick appeared on TVNZ’s Q&A to tell farmers to de-intensify. He was in no doubt that man-made global warming was causing the summer drought.

“Yeah, it is. Yeah, climate change, global warming. Put more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and things warm up.” The host Corin Dann double-checks: “And you’re of no doubt of that?”

“Oh, no, no. There’s no other explanation that’s remotely plausible.”

That’s religious zealotry in action. Science is never that certain. The best-ever scientific knowledge was Newtonian mechanics. And Einstein blew it to bits. That’s the nature of science. It gets nearer the truth but can never declare the truth.

Only religious fundamentalists have certitude. Their knowledge is a belief system that’s immune to real world experience and facts.

Science is a method

Science is also not a person, a job, a group, a qualification, 100 peer-reviewed papers or a received wisdom. It’s a method. It’s the method of critically testing competing theories. Failed theories are tossed and successful theories are only ever tentative.

Anyone can do science. And scientists can often fall short.

It’s Dr Renwick’s certitude that gives him away. That’s not science.

His Q&A comments even fail the test of logic. The one thing that we know for certain is that global warming didn’t cause the drought. That’s because there hasn’t been any.

The world stopped getting warmer 17 years ago. That’s incontrovertible. As a result the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) scary projections have not been realised.

Its best estimate in 1990 was a warming trend of 0.3 degrees a decade. The given range was 0.2-0.5. The actual trend has been 0.14-0.18. The warming didn’t happen.

I can even follow global warming’s playbook and argue from clerical authority: IPCC lead author Dr Kevin Trenberth wrote the 2009 Climategate email that declared, “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t”. 

And IPCC head honcho Dr Rajendra Pachauri admits global warming has been “paused” for 17 years.

The lack of warming hasn’t produced the banner headlines it deserves, but that doesn’t make the result any less true.

Dr Renwick declares, “there’s no other explanation that’s remotely plausible” for the drought. But logically that’s the one explanation that can be readily ruled out.

The changes we observed in Y can’t be caused by X. That’s because X itself hasn’t changed. Dr Renwick’s failure is not a failure of science, it’s a failure of logic.

He also declared, “Put more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and things warm up.” That’s the theory. But the real world hasn’t followed the theory.

Roughly 100 billion tonnes of carbon were added to the atmosphere between 2000 and 2010. That’s about a quarter of all the CO₂ ever pumped out by the burning of fossil fuels. And the world’s temperature? No warming trend.

The X variable increased. A lot. The Y variable didn’t budge. The experience falsifies Dr Renwick’s simple theory. 

Will the global warming hullabaloo now quietly go away? Has it blown up with a bang? Nope. It’s religion. And power. And big money.

And history amply demonstrates that religions mixed with power and money readily survive long past their use-by dates.

The global warming/climate change hoax continues to be widely taught in the nation’s schools and that should end. Now.”

The Continuing Collapse of the Global Warming Hoax

By Alan Caruba

---

---

While the nation tries to come to grips with the cascade of scandals involving the Obama administration, a significant phenomenon has been occurring. It is the demise of the global warming/climate change hoax that has driven national and international policies since the 1980s.

Directed from within the bowels of the most corrupt international organization on planet Earth, the United Nations, the hoax originally generated the Kyoto Protocols in December 1997 to set limits on the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The UN’s climate charlatans claimed that CO2 was causing the Earth to dramatically warm. It was a lie. The U.S. Senate unanimously refused to ratify it and, in 2011, Canada withdrew from it.

As reported by Craig Rucker, Executive Director of CFACT, fast-forward to the recent UN climate talks in Bonn, Germany, and news that Russia, joined by Ukraine and Belarus, blocked the adoption of the agenda of the “Subsidiary Body for Implementation”, part of the standard fast-tracking toward a 2015 Climate Treaty scheduled to be adopted and signed in Paris. Part of the treaty is a scheme to redistribute the wealth of developed nations to those less developed.

The Russians were fed up with the usual behind-closed-doors proceedings that create such treaties, but no doubt they were well aware that the treaty would empower the UN to govern a large portion of economic activity around the world. All UN treaties require nations to surrender some aspect of their national sovereignty.

There is clearly a backlash against the global warming hoax, particularly from nations that have discovered the costs to their economies that idiotic “renewable” energy schemes and emissions reductions incur. In the real world, they are experiencing longer, harsher winters as the result of the cooling cycle the Earth has been in for the last seventeen years!

Despite President Obama’s incessant claims that the Earth is heating, scientists in both Russia and China have been publishing data from scientific studies disputing the Big Lie of global warming/climate change.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences—50,000 members strong—recently published “Climate Change Reconsidered and Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report”, two hefty volumes with more than 1,200 pages of peer-reviewed data on climate change published byThe Heartland Institute in 2009 and 2011.

In May, Marc Morano, publisher ofClimateDepot.com and a former member of the staff of the U.S. Senate Environmental & Public Works Committee submitted written testimonyto the committee. 

“The scientific reality is that on virtually every claim—from A-Z—the claims of the promoters of man-made climate fears are failing,” wrote Morano, “and in many instances the claims are moving in the opposite direction. The global warming movement is suffering the scientific death of a thousand cuts.”

“There is no evidence,” wrote Morano, “we are currently having any unusual weather.”  Weather events such as the Moore, Oklahoma tornado and the sub-tropical storm Sandy that hit the northeast are normal occurrences despite the damage they inflicted.

In The Wall Street Journal in May, Princeton University physicist Dr. William Happer and NASA moonwalker and geologist, Dr. Harrison H. Schmitt wrote that “Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That’s simply not the case.”

Literally thousands of scientists around the world have disputed the IPCC “science” and many former “warmists” have reversed their former beliefs. Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, a top Swedish climate scientist, formerly affiliated with the IPCC, said in February “We are creating great anxiety without it being justified…there are no indications that the warming is so severe that we need to panic…

“The warming we have had the last 100 years is so small that, if we didn’t have meteorologists and climatologists to measure it, we wouldn’t have noticed it at all.”

The threat facing Americans is posed by the Environmental Protection Agency that clings to the Big Lie about CO2 and uses it as the basis for a flood of regulations that are doing great harm to economic recovery and development.

The same holds true for the Departments of Energy and the Interior that deny access to the nation’s huge reserves of energy resources and, in the case of coal, act to destroy its mining industry and plants using it for the generation of electricity.

The global warming/climate change hoax continues to be widely taught in the nation’s schools and that should end. Now.

It continues to be reported as truth by the mainstream media and as fodder for Hollywood movies and for television programs such as those on the National Geographic Channel.

Despite the lies surrounding global warming/climate change, the hoax is in its final death throes and has been for many years. That’s the good news.

Sakurajima volcano (Japan) awakes with a series of powerful explosions

Sakurajima volcano (Japan) awakes with a series of powerful explosions

SO2 plume from Sakurajima volcano (NOAA)

Forecasted ash plume from the explosion this morning (VAAC Tokyo)

After 10 days of almost no activity, the volcano has woken up violently with 3 powerful explosions last night (at 22:05 and 23:58 UTC, ash plumes to 10-13,000 ft) and this morning at 04:26. The eruption this morning appears to be one of the largest explosions for a long time, producing an ash plume rising to 16-20,000 ft (5-6 km) altitude. An SO2 plume is also visible on satellite data. 
Tokyo VAAC issued a warning of an ash plume drifting SE at flight level 200 (20,000 ft altitude).

The Dog Ate My Global Warming.

The Dog Ate My Global Warming.

Normally, in the scientific method, you make a prediction based on a hypothesis, then observe to see if your prediction comes true. If not, you discard the hypothesis and get a new one.

In the arena of climate science, apparently, different rules apply. If your prediction is wrong, you redouble your search for mechanisms to explain the "variance". There is no chance the underlying theory is wrong, or even flawed.

How bad did the climate establishment miss their projections? Former NASA scientist Dr. Roy Spencer has collected 73 model forecasts, and compared them to observations (circles and squares; H/T wattsupwiththat.com):

Dr. Roy Spencer: 73 climate model predictions vs actual observed temperatures.

Spencer says:

The discrepancy between models and observations is not a new issue...just one that is becoming more glaring over time.

It will be interesting to see how all of this plays out in the coming years. I frankly don't see how the IPCC can keep claiming that the models are "not inconsistent with" the observations. Any sane person can see otherwise.

But the New York Times is not any sane person. In an article called "What to Make of a Warming Plateau" they attempt to explain the variance away. This article is worth a read as it has a howler in just about every paragraph. A few examples:

The slowdownisa bit of a mystery to climate scientists. True, the basic theory that predicts a warming of the planet in response to human emissions does not suggest that warming should be smooth and continuous. To the contrary, in a climate system still dominated by natural variability, there is every reason to think the warming will proceed in fits and starts.

"A bit of a mystery" indeed. As in, none of the models were accurate. And while there may be some "fits and starts" in individual models, the average increases every single year after 1995. The Timescontinues:

But given how much is riding on the scientific forecast, the practitioners of climate science would like to understand exactly what is going on.They admit that they do not, even though some potential mechanisms of the slowdown have been suggested. The situation highlights important gaps in our knowledge of the climate system, some of which cannot be closed until we get better measurements from high in space and from deep in the ocean.

The scientists may not understand what's going on, but it is a 100% certainty that any prescription for the planet's supposed malady is going to cost prosperity in the developed nations, but it will cost lives in the developing world. If you're proposing heart surgery, you sure as hell better know what you're talking about. This talk of "potential mechanisms" and "important gaps in knowledge" gives me a cold chill.

In fact, scientists can calculate how much extra heat should be accumulating from the human-caused increases in greenhouse gases, and the energies involved are staggering. By a conservative estimate, current concentrations are trapping an extra amount of energy equivalent to 400,000 Hiroshima bombs exploding across the face of the earth every day.

My first instinct upon reading this was that somebody dropped a decimal place or five in their calculation. Taking the factoid at face value, though, they're saying that the energy equivalent of 2.2 billion "Little Boys", or over 35 trillion tons of TNT energy-equivalent that has just gone missing over the last 15 years. Pooof, just like that.

Climate scientists, according to theTimes, suspect the ocean is the culprit:

Exactly why the ocean would have started to draw down extra heat in recent years is a mystery, and one we badly need to understand. But the main ideas have to do with possible shifts in winds and currents that are causing surface heat to be pulled down faster than before.

The deep-ocean theory is one of a half-dozen explanations that have been proffered for the warming plateau. Perhaps the answer will turn out to be some mix. And in any event, computer forecasts of climate change suggest that pauses in warming lasting a couple of decades should not surprise us.

Emphasis added throughout.

Well, I can pick out one of the 73 models in the Shepard graph that looks like it may have a 15-20 year flat spot. The rest of them more-or-less uniformly predicted year to year warming. The rest of that paragraph is scientist-speak for "if we fling a handful of spaghetti against the wall, some of it may stick!"

The problem is that the climate community cranked up all these computer models without really understanding all the mechanisms which influence climate. In modeling, history matching is the easy part. It is awfully easy to convince yourself that you are working with the most robust possible mathematical model based on the "goodness" of the history match. Put it in forecast mode, however, and it blows up.

It's referred to as the "uniqueness" problem. In other words, no matter how good a history match a model gives, there are other possible explanations that match history just as well. If you don't have a good grasp of all the mechanisms (which climate modellers clearly don't), you cannot possibly have a true, unique match. You have a bad model.

This is a common pitfall with oil and gas reservoir simulation, with a lot fewer variables and reasonably well understood physical mechanisms and a scope that is many orders of magnitude smaller than "global".

The admission of the degree of uncertainty and the lack of knowledge of controlling mechanisms is vindication for all of us skeptics who have been resisting the calls form James Hansen, Michael Mann, Al Gore and the Nobel Prize-winning IPCC to impose massive penalties on our economy.

UN Climate Delegates Unaware Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago

UN Climate Delegates Unaware Global Warming Stopped 16 Years Ago (Video)

iceageearth.com challenges any "scientist" to bring-forth any un-fiddled data which supports their claims, we also urge people being told these stories to demand the evidence.

So, there is another round of climate talks going on in Bonn, Germany right now, where the best experts on global climate and weather are gathered to drink free organic booze, browse the vegan buffet, and engage in seminars on hand-wringing, followed by speeches of doom, gloom, and righteous indignation (sounds dreary to us, but we are sure that they are having a great time).

Anyhow, one would think that with all of these experts on global climate under one roof, someone would know that the Met Office (which has taken the lead in climate research) has acknowledged that global temperatures have not risen in the last 16 years.

Watch this video put out by the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT).

They don’t have the facts, they don’t have a clue, and they don’t have any answers.

So, what exactly are they doing at this conference?

Europe Hit By Severe Flooding

DPA

Flooding in Germany showed no signs of subsiding on Monday, with several regions struggling to contend with swollen rivers, streams and lakes. Here, a stadium in Gera, just south of Leipzig, is flooded.

Global Warming Charlatans are Meeting in Bonn

Global Warming Charlatans are Meeting in Bonn

 

The city of Bonn, Germany is currently the location of more climate chicanery courtesy of the United Nations and an organization called the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI). Two climate change conferences are being held there this week.

At noon, June 5, in Bonn, Craig Rucker, Executive Director of the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) will hold a press conference, but the likelihood that you will read about it in any U.S. newspaper ranges from slim to none. 

If you think ICLEI or the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has little to do with your life, think again. ICLEI is just one organization among many whose purpose is to deprive you of your property rights and your ability to influence decisions being made about the city or town in which you live.

“The ICLEI was formed in 1990 for the purpose of promoting the UN’s vision of ‘sustainable development’ as embodied in a document called Agenda 21,” notes Rucker. “It now counts more than 1,200 cities (worldwide) in its membership, the vast majority of whom use taxpayer money to pay membership dues to participate.” There are an estimated 450 member communities in the U.S. and in practical terms it means that any development efforts in those communities must meet stringent environmental and other standards even if they represent new jobs or new public facilities.

Think of it as a Death Star

Tom DeWeese, the founder of the American Policy Center, has been an opponent of Agenda 21 for as long as it has existed and a visit to the Center’s website provides information about the UN's“sustainable development” agenda. In brief, this is how DeWeese explains that,“According to its authors, the objective of sustainable development is to integrate economic, social and environmental policies in order to achieve reduced consumption, social equity, and the preservation and restoration of biodiversity.”  

Those advocating Agenda 21 “insist that every societal decision be based on environmental impact, focusing on three components; global land use, global education, and global population control and reduction.”

Its other component is “social justice” and DeWeese explains that “Social justice is described as the right and opportunity of all people “to benefit equally from the resources afforded us by society and the environment.”

Like all fundamentally communist programs, so-called social justice includes the “redistribution of wealth” and regards “private property as a social injustice since not everyone can build wealth from it.” It is communism.

National sovereignty is regarded as social injustice and that is where the UN comes in because it has never ceased to move toward its goal of being a global government.

Rucker reports that the delegates to the ICLEI are in a sweat about local pushback here in the U.S. precisely because of the work of CFACT, comparable think tanks, and grassroots activists loosely identified as the Tea Party movement.

From June 3 through June 14, Bonn is also hosting UN climate talks aimed at creating a binding climate treaty by 2015. As Rucker points out, “This treaty will be a disaster for the economies of the free world.”

There is a reason we keep hearing about “climate change”, the replacement code words for “global warming.” As Rucker points out about the fear-mongers, “They pay no heed to real world observational data or the expense, ineffectiveness, waste, fraud, and abuse surrounding the policies being proposed. A UN climate conference is an unrealistic wonderland.”

All this would be comic if it did not affect the lives of those throughout Europe and here in the U.S. A senior advisor to CFACT, Paul Dreissen, notes that “European climate policies have been disastrous for affordable energy, economic growth, entire industries, people’s jobs and welfare, wildlife habitats, and human lives.” That same can, of course, be said for America.

The notion that the United Nations or the entirely of the world’s population could have any effect on the climate is so absurd that it should be dismissed out of hand, but the UN climate program and forthcoming treaty it is fashioning has nothing to do with the climate.  It is about the fascist utopia being fashioned by those telling huge lies about the climate.

This is why we keeping hearing President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry issue warnings about the climate. On election night Obama said “we want our children to live in an America…that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.”

But the planet is not warming. It has been cooling for sixteen years at this point despite Kerry’s lies that “the science is screaming at all of us and demands action.”

“Obama and Kerry have stepped up the climate rhetoric,” says CFACT’s Rucker. “They must feel great pressure to deliver some tangible result to the Green pressure groups that supported them last fall.” And Kerry will set the agenda for the U.S. delegates to the UN climate talks.

What happens in Bonn unfortunately will not stay in Bonn.

Time-Line To The Next Ice Ages By Damion Hampton

2007 - 2030 - General Cooling.

What to expect... During a cooling-off period we can expect a generally cooler northern hemisphere climate. In this period winters will become longer and colder with drought In the summer. The summer gap will start to close. Summers will have very hot days and very cold nights. 

2030 - 2035 - Gulf Stream will begin to split, arriving more at the Spanish coast in lower Europe. Parts still arriving to the north of Scotland.

What to expect... During this part of the ice age entry phase, Europe will become extremely cold and wet, we will see "proper ice age conditions." Europe will plunge 12 degrees In the minus's and agriculture will be In real trouble, overwhelming our capitals. We will need to fight In the streets for food. Refer to the maunder minimum period. Summers will be considerably shorter. The process of entering an ice age will be like riding a run-away-train.............of ice.

2035 - 2100 - We will get into proper mini ice age conditions, lasting until the end of the Century.

What to expect... This will be an extremely dangerous time for us northern hemisphere goers. Glaciers will start to grow and sea level will begin to drop. Huge ice sheets will begin to build up as northern seas begin to freeze. Expect huge snow and hail storms in the north, there will be no let up. England will become connected to Europe and the bread baskets of the world will fail. This is not alarmism, this is reality, a reality you should know about. 

2100 - 2140- Slight warming but generally cooling. In the fuzz.

What to expect... After this mini ice age period we can expect slight warming, in the fuzz for 40 years or so. After this period we can expect further cooling. 

2200 - On-wards - Begin decent into the 23,000 cycle Ice Age.

From 2140 onwards the northern hemisphere will descend into a 23,000 year ice age. Cooling will perpetuate for 11,000 years followed by 12,000 years of warming.

In The Distant Future - Snowball Earth

In the future... What these ice age cycles are leading to is another SNOWBALL EARTH event. When we study the time-line of previous ice age cycles we can see that the distances between ice age events is becoming longer, by about 1,000 years per event.

Notice how the warm periods are becoming increasing shortened as we enter the next mini ice age event.

The giant ice age cycles above. Notice the length between warm periods, each one longer than the last! Need we say any more! The data speaks for it self......

 According to the Central England Temperature Series, England has just experienced its coldest Spring since 1891. The average mean temperature of 6.87C ranks the 31st coldest on records starting in 1659, and is 2 degrees lower than the 1981-2010 average of 8.9C. 

The 5-Year average has dropped to 8.9C, a level commonly seen in the 1940’s and 50’s. Although the cold Spring has been due in large part to the exceptionally cold weather in March, which was the coldest since 1892, both April and May have also been much colder than normal.
