Natural Climate Variation Interferes with Global Warming Theory
It’s getting tougher and tougher to sell the fantasy known as global warming.
A few years ago, when little was known about it, it wasn’t too hard. Just get a few people in white coats and some letters after their name to pronounce vague but spectacular doom and you had society’s immediate attention.
Throw in a little self-loathing over having life a little too easy (a malady common in the West, these days) and pretty soon you have a head of steam built over a neat idea for a science-fiction thriller, without any real science to back it up.
But as time has gone by, we’ve learned a lot about “global warming” and “climate change.” We’ve learned that there’s a whole lot of guessing going on, based on very little hard data. We’ve learned that the computer models used to “predict” global warming don’t really work that well–even with “tweaking” from global warming disciples. We’ve learned that NASA’s temperature calculations have been proven incorrect–more than once. We’ve learned about cyclic climate change which has been happening for thousands of years…long before SUVs and power plants were invented. We’ve even learned that warming is occurring on Mars and other planets…where, the last time I checked, there were no SUVs or humans at all to wreak their wicked consumption-sins.
According to the Sheffield Telgraph, that nasty ole’ natural climate change is making it even harder for Al Gore and his fellow apostles to make credible their religion of anthropogenic global warming:
The research revealed distinct natural variations in storminess since 1830, with spells of enhanced storminess around 1900 and the early-mid 1990s and a relatively quiet period from about 1930 to the early 1960s.
This suggests that large natural variability could be masking out any global warming-related trend in storminess.
Darn it! Why does that icky natural, cyclic climate variation have to get in the way of proving a good fantasy?!
If we could just get around these natural variations in climate, it would be so much easier to convince people that evil SUVs and power plants are destroying the Earth goddess!
Oh, why do things like science and facts have to get in the way!
