Global Warming Junk Scientists Even Pushed Bogus Hurricane Data
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, 5:40 AM
So, were these junk scientists honest about anything?
– The UN panel based claims about disappearing ice were based on a student’s dissertation.
– The UN climate chief knew about bogus glacier studies before he went to the UN Copenhagen summit.
– Oh… And he has a chauffer take him to work each day from his home that is one mile away.
– The UN also fudged data on the disappearing Amazon rain forests.
– Not to mention this year’s record cold and snow is killing thousands of livestock.
- Top CRU scientist Phil Jones admitted this weekend that there has been no significant global warming in the last 15 years.
- Jones also said the data for the bogus hockey stick graph has gone missing.
- And, Jones admitted that warming periods have happened before – but were not due to man-made changes.
Now there’s this…
Statistical analysis of raw data shows that the claims that global hurricane activity has increased due to global warming cannot be supported.
He played on our fears.
Al Gore insisted after Hurricane Katrina that we would see more devastating hurricanes. We haven’t.
The Register reported:
More trouble looms for the IPCC. The body may need to revise statements made in its Fourth Assessment Report on hurricanes and global warming. A statistical analysis of the raw data shows that the claims that global hurricane activity has increased cannot be supported.
Les Hatton once fixed weather models at the Met Office. Having studied Maths at Cambridge, he completed his PhD as metereologist: his PhD was the study of tornadoes and waterspouts. He’s a fellow of the Royal Meterological Society, currently teaches at the University of Kingston, and is well known in the software engineering community – his studies include critical systems analysis.
Hatton has released what he describes as an ‘A-level’ statistical analysis, which tests six IPCC statements against raw data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric (NOAA) Administration. He’s published all the raw data and invites criticism, but warns he is neither “a warmist nor a denialist”, but a scientist…
“When you average the number of storms and their strength, it almost exactly balances.” This isn’t indicative of an increase in atmospheric energy manifesting itself in storms.
Even the North Atlantic increase should be treated with caution, Hatton concludes, since the period contains one anomalous year of unusually high hurricane activity – 2005 – the year Al Gore used the Katrina tragedy to advance the case for the manmade global warming theory.
The IPCC does indeed conclude that “there is no clear trend in the annual numbers of tropical cyclones.” If only the IPCC had stopped there. Yet it goes on to make more claims, and draw conclusions that the data doesn’t support.
Thre IPCC’s WG1 paper states: “There are also suggestions of increased intense tropical cyclone activity in some other regions where concerns over data quality are greater.” Hatton points out the data quality is similar in each area.
The IPCC continues: “It is more likely than not (> 50%) that there has been some human contribution to the increases in hurricane intensity.” But, as Hatton points out, that conclusion comes from computer climate models, not from the observational data, which show no increase.
“The IPCC goes on to make statements that would never pass peer review,” Hatton told us. A more scientifically useful conclusion would have been to ask why there was a disparity. “This differential behaviour to me is very interesting. If it’s due to increased warming in one place, and decreased warming in the other – then that’s interesting to me.”
Hatton has thirty years of experience of getting scientific papers published, but describes this one, available on his personal website, as “unpublishable”.

Any way that Al Gore can be charged with fraud?
How about Al Gore giving back all the money people spent on Al Gore movies, books, speeches, etc.
And how about Al Gore giving back the Nobel Prize, Academy Award and any other prizes.
FreakyBoy commented:
In light of the deluge of new evidence, MGW supporters should be referred to as “global warming hoax deniers”.
BertoGem commented:
At some point in the dumbing-down of education, colleges and universities apparently stopped teaching the scientific method to their students.

These climate truthers have foisted a multi-billion dollar scam upon the economies of the world with their Hitlerian controls of industry and personal choice.
Where is the MSM (who are supposed to be unbiased guardians of truth)?
Benson commented:
Our unbiased guardians of truth are where they’ve always been, 100% behind any socialist scheme put forward by liberal leftist. If not for Fox and the internet we’d all be uninformed about the extent to which these charlatan’s will go to control us. Power and money is their only goal. Power for them with our money.

Why, I am shocked, truly shocked……..

Wyatt Earp commented:
I agree with R. Mackston. Make Gore give back his awards.

oh, and when is owlgore giving the nobel back?

Peter Warner commented:
How many school children have been forced to watch ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ ? We now know beyond doubt that the movie made assertions that are fraudulent, and used scare tactics to impress an entire world-wide generation. This movie was shown in schools around the world, as part of required curriculum.
How can those false impressions and fears now be relieved? Can the movie producers be required to produce and distribute a correction? Can a class action be taken?
Rush Limbaugh is correct- there are four agents in this fraud- corrupt science, corrupt media, academia, and politicians.
Best regards, Peter Warner.
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
I can’t wait for the Repubs to get back control of the House and/or the Senate. It’s time to subpoena these so-called warmers and scientist to explain under oath what a fraud these guys have been selling. By the way, when Gore spoke on the Hill a couple of months ago, was he under oath? If he was, he should be jailed!
Buffalobob commented:
B. T Barnum would be proud of the global warming believers. “A sucker borne every minute. However even that quote attributed to Barnum is a hoax propagated by the MSM of the day. The quote was made by a Mr. Hannum. The owner of the real fake Cardiff Giant. What is the Cardiff Giant, you ask. I grew up in Binghamton NY, and as a boy my dad reveled in telling the story of the Cardiff Giant found in upstate NY. It was the Global warming hoax of the day. If you have the MSM on your side you can convince the unwashed masses to give up their coins to see what is behind the curtain. My Dad’s advise to me was don’t believe anything you read in the newspapers and only half of what you see.
Scott commented:
Speaking of the chauffeur (and the other stories of private jets, etc.) don’t you just love it when commentators say things like “why would these scientists lie about global warming? I mean, what’s in it for them?”
Rick commented:
Meanwhile, where is al gore? The man responsible for much of this flim flam is sitting on his pile of money. Seems he should be tarred and feathered. And this guy thought he could be a real president. Whoops, compared to BO he could be.
czekmark commented:
Why has it taken so long to unveil the lies in the IPCC report. The AGW scam must have awful deep roots to inhibit close examination of the claims in the report.
Lauren commented:
With the handwriting on the wall for the 2010 elections, I expect the Democrats will accelerate their march toward turning America into a communist state. They won’t give up on cap and trade, or the global warming hoax. The whole climate change shenanigan was to bring about the redistribution of the wealth, the destruction of the energy system, and subsequently the destruction of businesses. America will then take its place among the banana republics, unable to defend itself or its currency. This is what Obama meant when he said he’d rather be a “good” one-term president, meaning he’d rather go against the will of the people, and not be re-elected, if that’s what it takes to support his puppeteers, including the new world order crowd, and the communist caucus in congress. November is a long way off, and he has lots of time. Al Gore, meanwhile, is laughing all the way to the bank, having completely diminished the value of the Oscar and Nobel Prize, and having finally screwed the America that didn’t vote for him in 2000.
Andreas K. commented:
The hurricane hockey stick is a load of bull.
Today we can see pretty much all hurricanes, thanks to better technology. Back in the days this was not possible.
The hurricane hockey stick is as accurate as reading tea leaves.

Check out Realclimate.org This site puts itself up as a “real” scientists site for climate study.
What a joke!

Three Major Firms Pull Out of Climate Change Alliance
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/02/16/major-firms-pull-climate-change-alliance/
“ConocoPhillips, BP America and Caterpillar pulled out of a leading alliance of businesses and environmental groups pushing for climate change legislation on Tuesday, citing complaints that the bills under consideration are unfair to American industry.
The sudden pullout of three corporate giants from a leading alliance of businesses and environmental groups could be the death knell for climate change legislation languishing on Capitol Hill.”
jim commented:
Forget the science for a moment. How could anyone with a functioning brain buy into a cause that had Al Gore as a front man? This guy has a long history as a teller of tall tales.
Say what you will about Bush, America dodged a bullet when this fraud didn’t get into the White House.

The First Global Revolution:
Blueprint for a new global order
[“In searching for the new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. In their totality and in their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which demands the solidarity of all peoples. But in designating them as the enemy, we fall into the trap about which we have already warned, namely mistaking symptoms for cause. All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changing attitudes and behaviors that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”]
More on Al Gore’s climate fraud promotion book “Our Choice”
[Maurice Strong, who is regularly credited as founding father of the modern environmental movement, serves on the board of directors of CCX. Strong was a leading initiate of the Earth Summit in the early 90s, where the theory of global warming caused by CO2 generated by human activity was most notably advanced.
Both Strong and Gore come from the Club of Rome clique, who in their 1991 Report, “The First Global Revolution” openly admitted how they were planning to exploit the contrived hoax of global warming in order to further their agenda.
“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is humanity itself.,” they wrote.]

With Hurricanes At Thirty Year Low, Gore Turns To Photoshop
[..] Al Gore has turned to photoshop in order to make a CO2-
choked earth look scary enough to sell his cap and trade scam.
The latest example of climate cult fakery comes in the form of the front cover of Al Gore’s new book, Our Choice; A Plan To Solve The Climate Crisis.]

I am a central Florida resident. Hurricane predictors walked under a ladder in 2005, were caught by surprise by the hurricanes that hit in that year, and have been warning about massive hurricanes ever since.
Now all we get out of these forcasts are higher insurance premiums. It has been windfall profits for insurance companies ever since.
