Global warming believers always say that climate skeptics are guilty of wishful thinking, and that they’re letting politics and emotions get in the way of indisputable scientific truths. Time and again they say that climate skeptics are cherry picking the data, and are falling for their own confirmation biases. They may be right. Many of the people who believe in man-made global warming are scientists, and scientists are really good at spotting those sorts of things. But they’re also human, so they’re just as likely to be guilty of cherry picking and confirmation bias as anyone else.
Never was this more true, than when NOAA announced earlier this year that the global warming “pause” didn’t happen. For the past 19 years give or take, the official data has shown very little global warming, which as you might expect has perturbed climate scientists ever since.
Then NOAA scientists conducted a study that claimed the methods used to measure ocean temperature in the past were inaccurate, and after compensating the data to reflect newer measuring techniques, they found that the world had been warming this whole time. The global warming pause was just a myth used by climate deniers to fool the public, and themselves.
Of course, this study completely ignored the most comprehensive ocean temperature testing system known as the Argo Array, and the biggest adjustments to the data are conveniently made for 1998-present day time period. So how did they really come to this new conclusion? We don’t know. Many of the adjustments that were made are left unexplained, and when a congressman asked them to hand over the data and internal memos that were connected to the study, NOAA flat-out refused to do so. If that’s not suspicious, then I don’t know what is.
The study also completely ignored satellite derived temperature readings, which are widely regarded as the most accurate readings for finding global temperatures. The satellite data also confirms the global warming pause.
So what is a global warming believer to do when the data doesn’t match the theories and models? Find a way to discredit the source of the data of course.
The climate alarmists have come up with a brilliant new excuse to explain why there has been no “global warming” for nearly 19 years.
Turns out the satellite data is lying.
And to prove it they’ve come up with a glossy new video starring such entirely trustworthy and not at all biased climate experts as Michael “Hockey Stick” Mann , Kevin “Travesty” Trenberth and Ben Santer. (All of these paragons of scientific rectitude feature heavily in the Climategate emails)
The video is well produced and cleverly constructed – designed to look measured and reasonable rather than yet another shoddy hit job in the ongoing climate wars.
Sundry “experts”, adopting a tone of “more in sorrow than anger” gently express their reservations about the reliability of the satellite data which, right up until the release of this video, has generally been accepted as the most accurate gauge of global temperatures.
Here’s the video in question, which was released last week. Let’s play devil’s advocate for a moment, and assume that these scientists are correct, and that our satellites have failed to give us an accurate portrayal of the Earth’s temperature. What exactly are we left with? Ocean readings apparently weren’t accurate before, but now they are? Satellites were considered the most accurate tool for determining the Earth’s temperature for several decades, but suddenly now they’re not? What about land-based weather stations? Oh yeah, those temperatures are riddled with inaccuracies and biases as well.
So what we’re really left with is nothing at all. Doubt has been cast on all of the equipment we use to measure temperature, as well as the people who are collecting data from that equipment. It’s impossible to have any idea about what our planet is up to, much less what is causing it. Somehow, this “settled science” doesn’t sound so settled anymore, does it?

Does this mean that Easter will be early this year?
The environ-mental wackos are the communist UNs hired minions and sheeple. The current UN Agenda21/Agenda2030/sustainable development theories are all for the commies background. They have been trying to take over the Worlds Freedom loving people for over 120 years (Karl Marx’s Communist Manifesto, mid 1800s, and its minions and sheeple). Other methods have failed (the former USSR, China, N Korea, SE Asia, half of Central and South America and Africa, Cuba and others) and their murderous intentions. Their attempt in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s America failed when JFK took over and purged them from the fed bureaucracy. That’s why they had him murdered. But, now, they are here, again. With Obummers and the demowits help, along with the UNs commies, they may just do it. It was predicted over 230 years ago by a famous Founding Father. Are you ready for the USSA ??? I’m Not. Will there be another American Revolution ???? Maybe.
@reagangs:disqus You may want to explore the history of The Fabian Society and its ties with Wall Street, America and their creation of Marxism, Communism. You can do well reading the works of Antony C. Sutton. Not too great a leap to see The Fabian Society as establishing Skull & Bones, or at least in some manner interconnected. Everyone babbles on about the Now World Order, not realizing it’s all the same damn Old World Order. The anthem of that order goes something like this, “the rich get richer, the poor get poorer”.
A truly new world order does await to arise. It is based on meritocracy, science, actual true justice ( human beings like it or not ). The new world order will not revolt, they harbinger no revolutions because we are all ready to evolve, to go boldly forward, to learn from mistakes and not repeat them. This new is the change everyone seeks, yet everyone babbles on and calls to revolt. They do not understand, if we revolt, we come back round to where we are yet again. We’re tired of doing that.
Life is change, life is movement not setting spinning the gears, not doing the same methods and expecting differing results. Life does different to attain different. Life changes, grows, learns. If it does not, all that can be is death. This is proven, time after time, after time.
All governing systems were tried in Greece. All failed. Here’s a new idea, let’s not be governed. What can it hurt? Seems governing only causes strife. Maybe a different way is in order? Do we know until we try? Do we let fear paralyze us? If we continue allowing the Old World Order to get us to revolt, to have revolution, then yes we do. We’ll be right back in their hands again. We’ll have the same feces filled world we have now.
Want to be courageous instead? Let’s try no governing.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a
radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in
the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met
as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters
showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and
stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have
entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic,
while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far
north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years, it is predicted that due to the ice melt, the
sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
I must apologize. I neglected to mention that this report
was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The
Washington Post — 93 years ago. Alarmist global warning even back
then! No doubt caused by Model T Ford emissions.
I’d cherry-pick my data too if the grant money kept rolling in just for spewing what the government wants me to spew.
We obviously can only trust what we experience because tptb distort the data and won’t let researchers have the raw data. I am 51 years old. I grew up in Buffalo NY. I remember my sister and I hoping it would snow before Christmas, it rarely did…..now living in Texas we had ice storms as far south as Houston on thanksgiving a couple of years in a row…2013 and 2014. When I first moved to Texas in the 80’s it was extremely hot the first couple summers. During one it was 105 degrees for like three days and one day it got to 110. And for many years after until the mid nineties, every summer it was so hot that the grass would literally turn brown and die…every summer it did that, it was considered normal for us to not have to mow the lawn for several months in summer because the grass was dormant/dead. Not any more, we mow all summer now and it stays green and we still have plenty of 100 degree days but it does not get to 110 or stay at 105 for several days…….based on my experience being older, having a good memory and living in various parts of the country, I believe things are cooling down……come on!…. ice storms in Houston in November??? When as a kid, I wished for snow in Buffalo NY in December……. I live in North Texas just north of Dallas. I am convinced based on my observations that global warming is a hoax and people like Dane Wigington are potentially well meaning and completely correct about Chem Trails but utterly misled or lost when it comes to “global warming”
