The Growth Of Global Warming Nonsense: Surely We've Reached Peak Madness

At least someone sees what a joke they have made of this whole thing. I do not close the door on the fact the world climate may be changing, I just refuse to listen to their lies, hyperbole and propaganda (from both sides now) since they have been so busy jiggering all the data, no one can be trusted. I believe the result is a large majority of people say "screw you" because they cannot believe in it, nor their draconian attempts at control and manipulation.

      This sums it up for me:

      Remember this the next time outgoing (thankfully) Secretary of State John Kerry says anything about global warming. He might be one of the many members of his party who doesn't know that astrology isn't a science and that it takes a year for Earth to revolve around the sun.

        Those people are out there.
        I worked with a fellow corrections officer who made a remark about the sun going around the earth.
        I told him the earth goes around the sun.
        He said, "It does?"
        I gave him a less than two-minute crash copurse about how the solar system works to which he said, "I must have missed school that day."
        Me dino recalls taking astrology tests and needing to have at least a high school education to go the the corrections academy in Selma, Alabama.
        So maybe that guy was taught by the School Marm in the Snuffy Smith comic strip.

          I am a high school teacher and have been trying to get a particular student to understand that Louisiana is a STATE. He refuses to accept that, he says it is a Country because his Moma says so and will not budge.

            Well, you could always write a test question that student will miss to make a point.
            It's up to you to decide if it is worth it.
            That student may just shrug it off and move on to be laughed at every now and then.
            Me dino suddenly recalls the huge area that was the Louisiana Purchase stretching all the way to Canada. Haven't given that a single thought for decades.

          For me just plain curiosity created a path to education.
          School is to give you the tools to learn and comprehend but the student must value knowledge to gain it.

    We obviously have a believer in human-induced climate change, given all of the markdowns I see. The climate is always changing, and has since well before the existence of humankind. The latest indications are that the supposedly record temperature rise is purely a result of a strong El Nino, and indications are that a countering La Nina effect will likely result in reduced temperatures for the next year. The truth is that humans have a small effect on climate, and even the most draconian attempts to reduce the rise, assuming the models are correct, by the end of the century by 0.3 deg centigrade. Given we are constantly learning new information about climatology, even that number is suspect, given past predictions by these models have been so far off.

    Too many people are missing the point. The reality of AGW is irrelevant. It is only its value as a political tool that is important. It does not need to be real it only needs to be believed. Acquisition and maintenance of political power is the objective and AGW provides the means to do that.

    Yes Global warming is a scam and Donald Trump pretended to recognize it as such during his campaign and is now stating that 'possibly there is some connection there' and that he will have to take a closer look at it. As with all offerings by the left whether it is about the climate, gun control or the ACA it is not about what is pretended (we are here to help you) but that 'we are here to control you.'

    "I've looked at clouds from both sides now,
    From up and down,
    And still somehow.
    It's cloud illusions I recall,
    I really don't know clouds, at all."
    "Both Sides Now" -- Song by Joni Mitchell

    That could be the theme song of the Climate Nuts.

      I hope they don't as I like her beautiful voice.
      I would offer an alternative.
      "Yeah, my bloods so mad it feels like coagulation'
      I'm sitting here just con tem plating.
      I can't twist the truth it knows no regulatiion,
      Hand ful. Of senators don't pass regulation
      And marches alone can't bring integration,
      When human disrespect is disintegrating
      This whole crazy world is just to frustrating
      And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
      Ah you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction " Barry McGuire

          The song was a B_side He apparently didn't like it much. A DJ in the Midwest accidentally played the wrong side and the song took off. He recorded it in 1 cut and read the lyrics off a napkin and a the point were he says ahh he could not read the word. Supposedly the next day he was called by the record co. and told to turn on the radio as it was playing. He is a year younger than you. He updated the lyrics to Eve 2012 to talk of the environment. (I did not know that). He became a born again Christian in 1971 . formed a Christian singing group. Married to a Kiwi he spends time in New Zealand and Fresno, Ca.

          Well, the Western World is in danger
          We the People have become like strangers
          Taking polls and opinions while the fabric decays
          For the greed of the few how much the innocent pays
          And the children are watching, you can hear how they pray

          And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
          How you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction

          Think of this green Earth, a tropical rainforest
          And take a look around to the Sahara Desert
          We wanna cut it down, burn it to the ground, leave barren and waste
          Till there’s no room for living, animals, rivers or lakes
          And there’s nothing to stop it but a miracle of faith

          And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
          said you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction
          now you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction

          I know you understand what we’re trying to say
          Can’t you see the madness that’s lead up to today?
          We believe its time for a change, for a new golden age
          Where the business of life runs in harmony with nature
          For nature reflects the beauty within ourselves
          And this changin’ attitude would ring out the Liberty Bells
          For the hungry and the homeless and the helpless as well

          And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
          saying you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction
          oh you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction

          At the source of silence, we’ll sings songs of creation
          Transcending the boundaries of our soul’s imagination
          You can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation
          ’Cause the truth is in Love, Freedom and Cooperation
          Let there be peace in your heart, that’s all right, that’s where it starts
          Let there be peace tonight, in all the Nations
          For the music of life is in our laughter and liberation

          And you tell me over and over and over again my friend
          saying you don’t believe we’re still on the eve of destruction
          no, no, no you don’t believe we’re on the eve of destruction

            In a way it reminds me of In A Gadda Divida. The singer was so stoned that it came out that way when the real words were "In A Garden of Eden."

              Back in the seventies I was at concerts where the band members could not even stand up and play for 30 mins . But the girls were still there looking for some fun.

                Talk about that: One of the legendary R&R fans is Mary Fleener, otherwise known as the Plaster Caster. She made plaster castes of all the penises of all the famous rock stars that would let her. She's a friend and we still communicate on Facebook. She's a pretty good artist as well, in a weird way.

                  I had heard of that story . Not a souvenir for me, but to each their own. I remember people saying they would n't wash their hand after shaking hands with a celebrity the caste puts that into a whole new light.

                    Once she made the caste, Mary could give you the jewels of your favorite rock star in bronze for a nominal price.

                      That reminds me of the Egyptian myth of Seth, Osiris and Isis ,three siblings.Osiris married his sister Isis and they were loved and benevolent Rulers. Seth was jealous and ploted against
                      His brother. He captured Osiris and cut him into 14 pieces then threw them into the river .Isis found out and recovered only 13 pieces of Osiris as his penis was eaten by a rough fish. Isis put all the pieces together and fashioned a phalic to complete him . She then rode the phalic and was impregnated giving birth to Horus the falcon headed god.
                      To go full circle Herb you often see pop stars with their hand form a circle with thumb and index finger raised to the eye the other three fingers forms three 6's and this symbol represents the eye of Horus and it is a nod to the Illuminatti.

    NASA and NOAA, from time to time admit the sun's influence on our climate and also admit that we are in for a cold trend...then the next day...ice is melting and we're all gona die! Talk about schizophrenia! when a simple google earth search shows Ice is growing and snow storm where the day before they reported heat records.
    Never mind all the crop losses that have not been reported. The only thing you may have heard is that red wine is going up in price cause the vines died.

    I see no peak of madness. This is about trying to establish Communism. The late Fidel Castro was more honest than these bunco artists. He said the world ought to have Communism if it took a billion atomic casualties to make it happen. I respect that kind of brass, more than I do hypocrisy.

    This will go down as the biggest scam ever perpetrated. EVEN IF we could magically eliminate ALL human generated CO2, the atmospheric concentration would only drop 400 ppm to 392 ppm!!! If 400 ppm didn't wipe us out, why would 392 ppm???

      More like "faux science". As so many "sceintists" have lent their name and titles to this junk they should be considered to be what they are, faux scientists. I wouldn't believe anything they had to say about anything. I take that back, I might believe them about the time of day, twice a day, if I could look at my watch to verify it.

    Remember a few years ago Barbara Streisland told everyone to hang their clothes outside to dry and not use their dryers? Then a fellow California millionaire flew over her property in a helicopter looking for clothes lines and all they could find was her AIR CONDITIONED horse barn. Same old, same old, do as I say not as I do.

    Oh no, the pivot to Climate Justice is just starting... increasing government power and revenues is the goal... CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is just the vehicle to get there... otherwise they would actually be removing CO2 from the atmosphere no matter what it's source.

    Hi Nickursis,
    When they manipulate the data, move temperature recording devices to city heat islands
    Claim storms are a result of man made climate warming ,cherry pick facts to fool an objective analysis of co2 emissions. Enlist a bunch of Hollywood actors who act alarmed and suggest we cut the thermostat as they cruise the high seas in fuel guzzling yachts

    Pity the children. Each day parents with the best intentions bundle our smallest and most precious children up against cold weather, we inoculate them against a host of illnesses and diseases, we buy the safest school buses and cars to ferry them to school, we hire the best (and highest paid) teachers in the free world - and yet we allow them to be brainwashed with what can only be called a godless religion - climate change.

    I've often said that if you want to see what a cult looks like, examine this idiots. Facts, science, data nothing matters to them and if you challenge them with reality - if one on one, you might get out unscathed, but they do tend to run in packs and the mob mentality and can be very dangerous.

    Well, I remember reading a remark (or threat?) a-
    bout "nuclear winter" in the early '70's. Some kind
    of remark about a summer (or summers) like the
    summer of 1816, because of so much air pollution.
    But I have a long memory, and I wasn't born
    yesterday.

      There is always someone with their agenda, who wants to tell you "their" truth. It rarely is the same truth, story to story. I have gotten to the "prove it to me" point, and then need to know where the data comes from, and then check that as well. Both nuclear winter and the air pollution things are true, but in very specific circumstances, which I cannot control, so I do not want others trying to make me either obey their crazy rules, nor pay for their fixes. You pollute it, you fix it, not me. China is a perfect example, if they want to breathe air they can see, who am I to say no?

        I have long thought something similar; if an environ
        -mentalist wants someone to stop operating a bus-
        iness, or to have it curtailed, etc., because of al-
        leged pollution, let him to to court and prove his
        charge; and if he can't prove it, he (the accuser)
        should have to pay the costs.

          I hesitate to go that route for the simple reason that the courts cannot be trusted. By that I mean you will get skewed results from judge to judge and I do believe they are corrupt. I took a guy to court for a nuisance, having 300 alpacas on 3 acres and never picking up any poop. A county commissioner said we would never win,as the county is a "right to farm" county. We got a 140,000 judgement for damages, but the judge did not rule that it was a nuisance, How do you have damages and no cause? That is why I would never take someone to court. I got 50K in debt, and the dude filed bankruptcy (he was a con from California and had been disbarred as a lawyer). It is not worth the risk with the ability to just dump the judgment, if you win, and the judge is not bought.

              OH, indeed. The stench was unbearable. The flies were in hordes. The coyotes clustered round scavenging the dead out of the occasional manure mound they buried them under. The e coli was off the charts in the water runoff into the stream that feeds a main river, and no one ever responded with any complaints we filed, despite the whole thing violating a slew of laws, regulations and rules. We could not sell our place, as people would drive up, smell the stench and drive away. I am all for freedom and the right to do what you want until you impact others. You do not have the right to impose the results of your activities on others.

                      In that respect you are exactly correct. I have no problem with being a good farmer. I do have a problem with someone who breeds animals by the hundreds just for a tax writeoff, to offset his stock gains, and doesn't take care of them. I also have a problem with having to deal with the fallout as it effects me and my property. This dude is just an example, we have seen the same behavhior wiith dogs and horses, which is one reason the horse business went under, there are people with 20-30 horses starving because they bred them like crazy thinking they would get rich, same with dogs. People still think they can have "purebred" dogs and sell them for 500.00 a pop, with no other supporting background, and all that does is establish the fake value of dogs at 500.00. One reason we have so many animals in shelters and running around, is no one wants to neuter them, as they see their little balls as gold mines, which they are most certainly not.

                        The get rich schemes never thought out to a be a successful business and they think the animals will do all the work for them . The result is a lot of needless suffering for the animals.
                        Thanks for sharing your experience Nickursis.

                In fact, just yesterday, a friend told us the owners who repossessed the property had screwed up somehow and our claim is listed as a lien against the property. We may actually get paid if they want to sell it. I don't care who pays me, they actually ignored us for years as we tried to get them to get control of their idiots, who bought the place on an owner contract and quit paying on it 2 years before we took action.
