EPA Busted for Ideology

Plants and Food Crops That Feed The Poor Grave CO2 So Why Is President Obama and Pope Francis Against That?

Watts Up With That?

Guest essay by James Sawhill

The EPA’s attempt to harness new coal-fired power plant constructions has been exposed as ideological rather than legal. The EPA further ignored the Department of Energy’s (DOE) earlier conclusion that carbon capture and storage (CCS) has not been “adequately demonstrated.” [1]

Thanks to commentary from The Energy and Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) the EPA has been forced to retreat from their draft rule. That rule would mandate the use of CCS, a process that would inter carbon dioxide underground which has so far proved to be little more than a thought experiment. To mandate this technology, the court required the EPA to prove CCS was “adequately demonstrated” and “commercially available.” In that they were laid naked by E&E Legal.

We submitted comments for the record explaining that EPA had made a mockery of the interagency review process, ignoring the government’s own experts in order…

   Professor Dyson

   Saw your Vancouver Sun interview.

   I agree that CO2 is beneficial. This will be even more so in future because it is more likely than not that the earth has already entered a long term cooling trend following the recent temperature peak in the quasi-millennial solar driven periodicity .

   The climate models on which the entire Catastrophic Global Warming delusion rests are built without regard to the natural 60 and more importantly 1000 year periodicities so obvious in the temperature record. The modelers approach is simply a scientific disaster and lacks even average commonsense .It is exactly like taking the temperature trend from say Feb – July and projecting it ahead linearly for 20 years or so. They back tune their models for less than 100 years when the relevant time scale is millennial. This is scientific malfeasance on a grand scale. The temperature projections of the IPCC – UK Met office models and all the impact studies which derive from them have no solid foundation in empirical science being derived from inherently useless and specifically structurally flawed models. They provide no basis for the discussion of future climate trends and represent an enormous waste of time and money. As a foundation for Governmental climate and energy policy their forecasts are already seen to be grossly in error and are therefore worse than useless. A new forecasting paradigm needs to be adopted. For forecasts of the timing and extent of the coming cooling based on the natural solar activity cycles – most importantly the millennial cycle – and using the neutron count and 10Be record as the most useful proxy for solar activity check my blog-post at http://climatesense-norpag.blogspot.com/2014/07/climate-forecasting-methods-and-cooling.html

   The most important factor in climate forecasting is where earth is in regard to the quasi- millennial natural solar activity cycle which has a period in the 960 – 1020 year range. For evidence of this cycle see Figs 5-9. From Fig 9 it is obvious that the earth is just approaching ,just at or just past a peak in the millennial cycle. I suggest that more likely than not the general trends from 1000- 2000 seen in Fig 9 will likely generally repeat from 2000-3000 with the depths of the next LIA at about 2650. The best proxy for solar activity is the neutron monitor count and 10 Be data. My view ,based on the Oulu neutron count – Fig 14 is that the solar activity millennial maximum peaked in Cycle 22 in about 1991. There is a varying lag between the change in the in solar activity and the change in the different temperature metrics. There is a 12 year delay between the neutron peak and the probable millennial cyclic temperature peak seen in the RSS data in 2003.http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/from:1980.1/plot/rss/from:1980.1/to:2003.6/trend/plot/rss/from:2003.6/trend

   There has been a cooling temperature trend since then (Usually interpreted as a “pause”) There is likely to be a steepening of the cooling trend in 2017- 2018 corresponding to the very important Ap index break below all recent base values in 2005-6. Fig 13.

   The Polar excursions of the last few winters in North America are harbingers of even more extreme winters to come more frequently in the near future.

   I would be very happy to discuss this with you by E-mail or phone .It is important that you use your position and visibility to influence United States government policy and also change the perceptions of the MSM and U.S public in this matter. If my forecast cooling actually occurs the policy of CO2 emission reduction will add to the increasing stress on global food production caused by a cooling and generally more arid climate.

   Dear Norman Page,

   Thank you for your message and for the blog. That all makes sense.
   I wish I knew how to get important people to listen to you. But there is
   not much that I can do. I have zero credibility as an expert on climate.
   I am just a theoretical physicist, 91 years old and obviously out of touch
   with the real world. I do what I can, writing reviews and giving talks,
   but important people are not listening to me. They will listen when the
   glaciers start growing in Kentucky, but I will not be around then. With
   all good wishes, yours ever, Freeman Dyson.

   Professor Dyson Would you have any objection to my posting our email exchange on my blog?

   Yes, you are welcome to post this exchange any way you like. Thank you
   for asking. Yours, Freeman Dyson.

 

There Is A Disturbance In The Doomsday #Climate Change Farce

CO2 emissions are UP for the last 18 years 5 months with NO Warming in sight! Yet Climate activist know nothings like the Pope, UN, EPA and President Obama close their minds and say LAH LAH LAH while demonizing anyone who dares to disagree with them http://wp.me/pPrQ9-wSD  



Moreover per top Google Engineers so called Green Energy Renewables “Won’t Work” http://wp.me/p7y4l-v3Q and can’t sustain civilization http://bit.ly/1zxiLOL So without big bucks from government tax payer subsidies there would be no green energy if people had to pay for the real cost of said energy. In other words rich elite greens are getting rich at the expense of poor people whose electric cost “skyrocket” to feather the nest of the green cronies.

The bottom line the doomsday scare mongering climate change movement is nothing more than a money and power grab.

For the real cost of the anti poor Climate change agenda see what is happening in the UK They: 

–Can’t Keep Lights On

-ReduceCO2 and 

– The Poor Get Whacked Making Electricity So High Cost Only the Rich Can Afford It http://wp.me/p1R7BZ-3Ot

The @pontifex Top Adviser A “Notorious Anti Semite” Communist Blasts Pope’s #Climate Encyclical Critics

Cardinal Oscar Rodriquez Maradiaga blasts US #climate skeptics http://thehill.com/policy/ener… 

“The ideology surrounding environmental issues is too tied to a capitalism that doesn’t want to stop ruining the environment because they don’t want to give up their profits,” Rodríguez said, according to the Boston Globe’s Crux blog. 

 Will a Notorious Anti-Semite Become The Pope?: http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3594/cardinal-andres-rodriguez-maradiaga#.VVKvvbCpzDl.twitter 

“To put it most simply, Rodriguez Maradiaga is an out and out Jew-hater. He has said that “the Jews” are to blame for the scandal surrounding the sexual misconduct of priests toward young parishioners! The Jews? How did Rodriguez Maradiaga ever come up with this hair-brained idea? Here is his “logic.” He begins by asserting that the Vatican is anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian (as he says it should be). It follows, therefore, that “the Jews” had to get even with the Catholic Church, while at the same time deflecting attention away from Israeli injustices against the Palestinians. The Jews managed to do this by arranging for the media—which he says they control—to give disproportionate attention on the Vatican sex scandal.

Listen to Rodriguez Maradiaga’s own words:

 “It certainly makes me think that in a moment in which all the attention of the mass media was focused on the Middle East, all the many injustices done against the Palestinian people, the print media and the TV in the United States became obsessed with sexual scandals that happened 40 years ago, 30 years ago. Why? I think it’s also for these motives: What is the church that has received Arafat the most times and has most often confirmed the necessity of the creation of a Palestinian state? What is the church that does not accept that Jerusalem should be the indivisible capital of the State of Israel, but that it should be the capital of the three great monotheistic religions?”

Science Matters

Updated May 11 with text added at the end.

You only have to compare Sea Surface Temperatures (SST) from HADSST3 with estimates of Global Mean Surface Temperatures (GMST) from Hadcrut4 and RSS.

This first graph shows how global SST has varied since 1850. There are obvious changepoints where the warming or cooling periods have occurred.

This graph shows in green Hadcrut4 estimates of global surface temperature, including ocean SST, and near surface air temperatures over land. The blue line from RSS tracks lower tropospheric air temperatures measured by satellites, not near the surface but many meters higher. Finally, the red line is again Hadsst3 global SST All lines use 30-month averages to reduce annual noise and display longer term patterns.

Strikingly, SST and GMST are almost synonymous from the beginning until about 1980. Then GMST diverges with more warming than global SST. Satellite TLT shows the same patterns but with less warming…
