Some Food For the Bottom-Feeder (No, Not wd) to Feast Upon

a) This is the satellite temperature data - http://paranoiacstoogetalk.blogspot.com/2013/10/warm-and-seek.html - and as any idiot can plainly see, there has been NO atmospheric warming for over 17 years now (this, despite the fact that CO2 levels have skyrocketed by 28%). Yes, the alarmists have shamelessly and moronically attempted to torture the data via cherry-picking, the rank utilization of contaminated land thermometers, and the removal from the data of other effects such as oceanic oscillations but the data is the data and those twits were wrong.............b) And in science, when the data doesn't support the theory, you alter the theory, not the data.............c) Yes, corporations do wield a shitload of power. But where do they get this damned power? THEY GET IT FROM GOVERNMENT (big government to be more precise)!! G.E., Halliburton, Goldman Sachs, H&R Block, Google, Philip Morris (those cock-suckers practically wrote the tobacco bill, for Christ sakes), etc. - all of these companies have benefited hugely from government favoritism and it is the smaller businesses who disproportionately take it up the poop-shoot (according the the Small Business Administration, smaller businesses pay something like 40% more per employee for regulatory compliance than corporations and, because of that, corporations LOOOOOOOOOOVE regulations).............d) Anybody who even knows a minuscule amount about the four earth sciences knows that natural systems (of which the earth obviously is) are almost always characterized by negative feedbacks and low sensitivity. It is how they sustain themselves and for a perfect example you really don't need to look any farther than your own damned body. I mean, think about it here. When a pathogen, toxin, or parasite enters your body, are there elements in your body which radically make the insult worse? Of course there aren't!! It's the absolute opposite in fact (fever, excretion, inflammation, emesis, secretions, etc. all serving to make the insult LESS severe) and the exact same thing is true regarding the earth (as evidenced by the research of Richard Lindzen and Roy Spencer which has consistently shown that the amount of radiation escaping back into space has actually INCREASED during the satellite era).............e) Now is this to say that human activity can't has a negative effect on the environment? No, of course not. Plastics in the ocean, particulate matter in the atmosphere, and a whole host of other things can and DO damage the environment and I am even willing to admit here that a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere will probably cause some warming. BUT IT WON'T BE A LOT (.4 to .6 of a degree Celsius possibly) and it certainly isn't worth devastating the entire Western economy over.............f) Meteorologists can't predict the weather more than ten days in advance and, yet, we are still led to believe that these same moronic climate models (97% of which have overestimated - some of them greatly - the actual warming - http://paranoiacstoogetalk.blogspot.com/2014/05/on-climate-models.html) can somehow tell us what the climate is going to be 100, 200 years from now? That is absurd!............g) And this whole claim (which even our President had made on numerous occasions) that extreme weather events are getting worse and more frequent is utter bullshit (for a fuller delineation that also includes Roger Pielke's recent Senate testimony - http://paranoiacstoogetalk.blogspot.com/2014/05/some-cold-or-warm-if-you-prefer-hard.html). It is absolutely not the case and if anything multiple indices have actually gotten better (the fact that we haven't had a category three or higher level hurricane hit the mainland in going on nine years now, for example).............h) As for the assertion that preventing global warming is more expensive that adapting to it, it is hardly a controversial one in that even Yale economist Richard Nordhaus (a strong proponent of AGW) has posited that the Stern proposal would cost $27 trillion and only obviate the damage of global warming by $13 trillion and that the Al Gore proposal would cost $34 trillion and only obviate the damage of global warming by $12 trillion (and I personally believe that these numbers greatly underestimate the disparity).............i) And while, yes, do I in fact share your trepidation regarding corporate America, those folks can't even hold a small candle to governments when it comes to killing people. According to the University of Hawaii's R.J. Rummel, governments have slaughtered over 260 million of their own citizens and this doesn't even include all of the stupid wars that they've gotten us into. Corporate America, absent the government to bail their sorry cans out? Oh yeah, I'm really scared.............h) And just when you think that this whole global warming hysteria can't get any more absurd, THIS -  One of the bloggers over at Climate Depot did some research and the dude came up with over 30 pairs of contradictory findings from studies conducted by warmists. Here, bra, are just 12 of the funnier pairings; 1 - Amazon dry season greener - Amazon dry season browner. 2 - Avalanches may increase - Avalanches may decrease. 3 - Coral island atolls to sink - Coral island atolls to rise. 4 - East Africa to get less rain - East Africa to get more rain. 5 - Great Lakes to get less snow - Great Lakes to get more snow. 6 - Indian monsoons to be drier - Indian Monsoons to be wetter. 7 - Indian rice yields to decrease - Indian rice yields to increase. 8 - North Atlantic cod to decline - North Atlantic cod to thrive. 9 - North Atlantic cyclone activity to increase - North Atlantic cyclone activity to decrease. 10 - Northern Hemisphere ice sheets to decline - Northern Hemisphere ice sheets to grow. 11 - Swiss mountain debris flow may increase - Swiss mountain debris flow may decrease. 12 - Winters may be warmer - Winters may be colder.............For the entire listing, please go to, http://notrickszone.com/2011/03/30/robust-science-more-than-30-contradictory-pairs-of-peer-reviewed-papers/ - it is absolutely hilarious.
