The U.S. corn and wheat belt are likely to suffer drought next
year, as the worst is still to come from weather phenomenon La
Nina, William C. Patzert, climatologist at the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, told Dow Jones Newswires
Thursday.

"Drought in the U.S. corn and wheat belt has the strong
possibility repeating itself," NASA's Patzert said. "After 22
December, the first day of winter, the main event kicks in.
Classic La Nina impacts are during winter through spring."

La Nina is a periodic climatic phenomenon that brings more rain
to the western Pacific, and to a lesser extent, to the eastern
Pacific. Climatologists and commodity analysts blamed La Nina
for drought that ravaged the U.S. wheat crop and dryness across
the U.S. corn belt earlier this year. Last summer was the
hottest since the 1950s in the heart of the corn belt, including
Iowa and Illinois.

A sensible report. Nothing to do with GW, probably and everything to
do with La Nina. Same with current droughts in South America. They
will end in the next couple of years, as the cycle will turn towards
El Nino conditions. Then we'll see other weather effects
elsewhere......but we'll also see global temperature records being set
deniers, won't we?

WTF??

Yet one more dud AGW prediction!


"Scientists": Global Warming Will Make El Ninos Permanent

The warmists were saying this just before the worldwide flooding!

26 Dec 1997





El Nino events occur on average every five years, and last up to 18 months.



However research now suggests that they are now occurring every three years.
In the last decade alone there have been five.



Gore noted that El Nino events had become ''more and more commonplace'' and
that global temperatures had risen along with them. ''I hope they don't
become more commonplace, but that's what the pattern appears to indicate,''
he said.



Russ Schnell, a "scientist" doing atmospheric research at Mauna Loa
Observatory in Hawaii says: ''It appears that we have a very good case for
suggesting that the El Ninos are going to become more frequent, and they're
going to become more intense and in a few years, or a decade or so, we'll go
into a permanent El Nino.''



He suggests that instead of having cool water periods between El Ninos for a
year or two, ''we'll have El Nino upon El Nino, and that will become the
norm.



And you'll have an El Nino, that instead of lasting 18 months, lasts 18
years.''

At the moment corn and wheat production in the USA is at its
highest in USA history; droughts in the corn belt of the USA do
not always La Nina events, but they do most of the time---- La
Nina moves precipitation south-westward, over the Pacific ocean,
when it would have otherwise fallen on land.

By early summer La Nina will likely be over. By spring of year
2013 we are likely to see record high temperatures being set
again. Reality-deniers here will continue to insist that all of
the world's experts in the subject are wrong about the cause.

Will ENSO neutral conditions produce record global temperatures, even
higher than those experienced during the super El Nino of 1998? They
certainly shouldn't do, but if they do, it will be convincing proof,
for me, that CO2 is the driver of that warming and no other cause has
any kind of believable claim to be.

The odds, accordig to past history, show a nine-month lag, with
neutral conditions lasting as long as 18 months (rare) to 6 months
(also rare). I have $100 that says that even during neutral ENSO
conditions during the last half of year 2012 and most of year
2013, year 2013 will still set the record high global average
temperature.

At the moment only the increase in atmospheric CO2 explains the
increased global average temperature.

Hi D, research says otherwise. 3-6 months. This shows the atmospheric
response lag to El Nino events and the lag response to La Nina events
is similar. Thus, if we begin to move towards the next El Nino in
Autumn, your bet may well be successful. If it doesn't happen until
next summer, I doubt whether you'll win. Only personal opinion, of
course and the underlying warming may be greater than we think and may
establish record conditions earlier than one might expect - but I do
expect record annual global temperatures to happen again during the
next El Nino and so does every climate denier/sceptic who posts to
this board.

For agenda ridden reasons, they just won't say so and would rather try
to lie about GW having stopped in 1998.

Another fact free post by Gunner Arschloch.

By the above definition, you are a libtard yourself ;O)

So what does CO2 do, Arschloch? Does it capture heat, or acidify oceans?
The warming planet releases more methane from frozen tundra. Methane is
21 times more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas. Diminishing
snow cover reduces albedo, allowing the ground and water to warm more.
A warming planet evaporates more water, which is also a greenhouse gas.
More water vapor, and warmer oceans mean bigger storms that are driven
by the heat of condensation. More heat means smaller harvests of food.
Higher ocean levels from melting ice caps means flooding of rice growing
regions in the Mekong delta.

The trouble with stupid people (like Gunny) , regardless of their
political bents, is that they embrace the dogma, and ignore the facts.

I am not surprised to see the ignorance displayed here, just
disappointed that all of it is from the United States, after our
Dumbing-down by Reagan. After him, it was okay to be ignorant, if you
had strongly-held biases. Religion was even better. Do these silly folk
think that all of the proof of climate change is in the records of one
person? We have centuries of information, tree rings, ice cores,
geological records, carbon dating, satellite data, all of which
interrelate and reinforce the climate change phenomenon. When the People
follow what they want to believe, they leave themselves open to
manipulation by those like Bush and Cheney, who played them like
gut-bucket fiddles.

DrSteve wrote: "The man-made global warming theories have no mechanism
to account for a cooling planet (period)." Yes, they do (irrespective of
your parenthetical punctuation). Many factors influence climate. For
example, Earth has an irregularly eliptical revolution around the sun.
Sometimes, the path brings us closer to the sun; other times, we are
further away. The change influences global temperatures, so climate
models account for those effects. That is, human activity can make Earth
warmer than it would have been otherwise, but we might still experience
cyclical cooling (or leveling). (My guess is that your doctorate is not
a Ph.D. in a scientific field. I hope it isn't.) Perhaps you are under
the impression that any valid predictor must act alone and account for
100% of the variance in a dependent variable. Unfortunately, climate is
more complex than that. The data that you suggest were manufactured are
publicly available. You don't need to rely on Dr. Jones.

In 1989 in the US, the petroleum and automotive industries and the
National Association of Manufacturers created the Global Climate
Coalition (GCC) to oppose mandatory actions to address global warming.
In 1997, when the US Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution against
ratifying the Kyoto Protocol, the industry funded a $13 million industry
advertising blitz in the run-up to the vote.[1]

In 1998 the New York Times published an American Petroleum Institute
(API) memo outlining a strategy aiming to make "recognition of
uncertainty ... part of the 'conventional wisdom.'"[2] The memo has been
compared to a late 1960s memo by tobacco company Brown and Williamson,
which observed: "Doubt is our product since it is the best means of
competing with the Œbody of fact' that exists in the mind of the general
public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."[3] Those
involved in the memo included Jeffrey Salmon, then executive director of
the George C. Marshall Institute, Steven Milloy, a prominent skeptic
commentator, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Myron Ebell.[3]
In June 2005 a former API lawyer, Philip Cooney, resigned his White
House post after accusations of politically motivated tampering with
scientific reports.[4]

Global warming reduces glaciers that people depend on for water, and
over population means that aquifers can't recharge as quickly as they
are drawn down.
Global Warming, over population, dwindling water resources are all
coming to bite us. Too bad there aren't people to look out for us, and
make recommendations for the future, but sadly our politicians have
already been purchased by "for profit" corporations.

Oh goody, Gunny can read, but the operational word was "again". Try
reading "Collapse" by Jared Diamond, page 211.
<http://www.amazon.com/Collapse-Societies-Choose-Succeed-Revised/dp/01431
17009/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330972952&sr=1-1>
Yes, Gunny, Iceland wins, Canada wins, Russia wins, relatively speaking.
Their storms, like everybody's storms, will be bigger and stronger, but
their agricultural out-put will be larger, even as there are massive
declines in crop yields in the rest of the world as the human population
continues to rise. Your dream, Gunny, is a nightmare.

Ayup it sure does. Which is why Democrats..the few smart ones, are
fleeing the Democratic Party enmass and becoming Independants, or

The Green Party is insane
September 11, 2007 at 08:50 AM | categories: politics, green party | 0
Comments

Rational people ignore the Green Party because the Green Party is
verifiably insane. For example, consider their $20 dollar per hour
minimum wage. Don't believe me? Read on.

To quote from the Green Party USA platform:

Universal Social Security: Taxable Basic Income Grants for all,
structured into the progressive income tax, that guarantee an adequate
income sufficient to maintain a modest standard of living. Start at
$500/week ($26,000/year) for a family of four, with $62.50/week
($3,250/year) adjustments for more or fewer household members in 2000
and index to the cost of living.
Jobs for All: A guaranteed right to job. Full employment through
community-based public works and community service jobs programs,
federally financed and community controlled.
Living Wages: A family-supporting minimum wage. Start at $12.50 per
hour in 2000 and index to the cost of living. 30-Hour Work Week: A
6-hour day with no cut in pay for the bottom 80% of the pay scale.
Social Dividends: A "second paycheck" for workers enabling them to
receive 40 hours pay for 30 hours work. Paid by the government out of
progressive taxes so that social productivity gains are shared
equitably.

So, a single highschool dropout demands and receives a job. They get
$(500.00 - 62.50 * 3) weekly from their "Universal Social Security"
check. Then, they get an hourly minimum wage of $(12.50 * 40), even
though they're only working 30 hours. That works out to $42,250.00 per
year. Minimum.

Do they sit around in a drum circle to write this stuff? "Ooh, $12.50 an
hour! Write that down!" "And you shouldn't have to work more than 30
hours a week! Get that in there too." "And, and, they should have to pay
you for 40 hours anyway! Yeah, add that in!"

I tend to disagree with the Democratic Party because I do not agree with
some of its basic tenets, but I understand how other intelligent people
can believe in them. However, I disagree with the Green Party because I
own a calculator.


ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Global Warming Fast Facts
Is It Happening?
Yes. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.
? Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree
Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades,
according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
? The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades
were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several
millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United
Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that
11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
? The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in
Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the
global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact
Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
? Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first
completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and
indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
? Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting--for example, Montana's
Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In
the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and
freezes begin a week later.
? Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water
temperature, suffered the worst bleaching--or die-off in response to
stress--ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70
percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency
and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.
? An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires,
heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to
climate change by some experts.

Are Humans Causing It?
? "Very likely," the IPCC said in a February 2007 report.

Met Office releases new figures which show no warming in 15 years

By David Rose

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an
inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing
the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to
rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the
Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was
issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of
East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in
world temperatures ended in 1997.

A painting, dated 1684, by Abraham Hondius depicts one of many frost
fairs on the River Thames during the mini ice age

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday
that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th
Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output,
threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season
available for growing food.

Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots
seen at their peak.

We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’
– which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the
aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are
running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th
Century.

Analysis by experts at NASA and the University of Arizona – derived from
magnetic-field measurements 120,000 miles beneath the sun’s surface –
suggest that Cycle 25, whose peak is due in 2022, will be a great deal
weaker still.

Whoops! No Global Warming For the Last 15 Years
Science is all about questioning theories.

Opponents of the global warming cult have often been confronted with a
little presto-chango logical fallacy. When the dearth of evidence that
human activity contributes to any sort of climate change became
painfully inconvenient, the cult began deliberately conflating
“man-made” or “anthropogenic” warming with temperature fluctuations that
might be entirely natural phenomena.

This allowed the fanatics to posture as reasonable people of science,
while dismissing those who advanced reasonable questions as fanatics.
If you agreed that the globe might be warming, you were automatically
signed on to the entirely different belief that human activity was
causing it. Various studies purporting to show increases in temperature
were cited, and magically transformed into “proof” that the
economy-destroying, power-centralizing agenda of the Church of Global
Warming must be adopted immediately. Greenhouse gases are killing the
Earth! The science is settled!

This was always about power and money, not science. Here’s a little
data crunching from one of the great cathedrals of global warming
alarmism, the University of East Anglia Climatic Research Unit – which
was also the source of the “Climagate” emails that revealed much of the
global warming movement was based on deliberate fraud. As reported by
the UK Daily Mail:

The supposed ‘consensus’ on man-made global warming is facing an
inconvenient challenge after the release of new temperature data showing
the planet has not warmed for the past 15 years.

The figures suggest that we could even be heading for a mini ice age to
rival the 70-year temperature drop that saw frost fairs held on the
Thames in the 17th Century.

Based on readings from more than 30,000 measuring stations, the data was
issued last week without fanfare by the Met Office and the University of
East Anglia Climatic Research Unit. It confirms that the rising trend in
world temperatures ended in 1997.

(Emphases mine.) “Released without fanfare,” eh? That’s funny, because
this has to be one of the most important stories in modern history. The
entire global warming movement just went up in smoke. All of the
shrieking hysteria about greenhouse gases, which still drives
multi-billion dollar command economics programs in the United States has
just been revealed as a pile of anti-scientific garbage.

Meanwhile, leading climate scientists yesterday told The Mail on Sunday
that, after emitting unusually high levels of energy throughout the 20th
Century, the sun is now heading towards a ‘grand minimum’ in its output,
threatening cold summers, bitter winters and a shortening of the season
available for growing food.

Solar output goes through 11-year cycles, with high numbers of sunspots
seen at their peak.

We are now at what should be the peak of what scientists call ‘Cycle 24’
– which is why last week’s solar storm resulted in sightings of the
aurora borealis further south than usual. But sunspot numbers are
running at less than half those seen during cycle peaks in the 20th
Century.

So the primary factor driving “climate change” is not people running
their air conditioners and driving around in cars, but rather… the Sun.
Were your kids told any of this when their public-school teachers were
busy indoctrinating them in Green dogma about man-made global warming?
Was it ever even suggested that maybe human activity had far less to do
with global temperature changes than solar activity?

The modern “climate change” movement began with warnings of global
cooling, and the threat of an impending Ice Age, back in the Seventies.
This was changed for purely political reasons, because it obviously
wasn’t something that could be blamed on human activity. But car
engines are hot, and hot gas comes out of their mufflers, so maybe that
gas is forming into toxic clouds in the upper atmosphere, and turning
the Earth into an oven! Factory smokestacks even look kind of like
ovens, don’t they? We can scare people into giving up their economic
liberty with that!

A Duke University climatologist quoted by the Daily Mail noted “if
temperatures continue to stay flat or start to cool again, the
divergence between the models and recorded data will eventually become
so great that the whole scientific community will question the current
theories.” Questioning theories? Now that sounds like science!
Unfortunately for the cultists, it’s not very helpful for getting
cap-and-trade legislation passed, or selling “carbon credits.”

Other stories hinting at this outcome have popped up over the past few
years, but this one is definitive… and utterly devastating to the
official religion of the U.S. government. Think of all the millions
charlatans like Al Gore have raked in from gullible suckers over the
years. “An inconvenient truth,” indeed. The birth of global warming
was heralded by big-budget Hollywood movies and hysterical political
campaigns. Its final demise occurred without fanfare.

Yep. All the sugar plantations have shut down on Puerto Rico. Seems

<dittohead>

I agree completely that Diamond's book is a must-read for people
interested in how social structures, such as societies, form and
change due to changing climates. What we are doing to Earth's
climate with out CO2 is unprecidented not in quantity, but in
rate: human-caused climate change has been, and will continue to
be, several orders of magntitude faster than any tim e in the past
200 million years.

Exactly so. In small regions of Earth, human-caused global warming
is a good thing.... at least for a few hundred years.

I am conservative, and I am both hyper-intelligent and also hyper-
well-informed. It is by no means true that conservatives are all
full of loathing for education, science, and learning: most of us
are not.

NONE of this has anything to do with the newsgroups in the
distribution list.

Yes, absolutely. It is also true that birth order biases political
opinions, with first-born people being more conservative than
latter-born people. *YAWN!*

It is asinine, insulting, stupid, and wrong to claim all
conservatives embrace ignorance and superstition.

You are confused. In the late 1980s conservatives abandoned the
RNC in a mass exodus, joining other parties, most of whom joined
the Democrats. Since then the USA Democrats have been the largest
conservative political party, with the Republicans taking up the
fascist radical space to the right. Independants take up the
centrist and liberal end.

Maybe yes, maybe no, but it seems prudent to try and protect ourselves.
If we are wrong, we may lose some financial profit. If we are right,
billions may die through inaction.

Fascinating to watch someone having a mental break down in such a
radical factor. It wont be long before his head implodes. I hope
someone gets a video of it.

No. Why would you think that?
