HT to the Hockeyschtick for spotting this essay from Marine Biologist Walter Starck at Quadrant Online. More scientists are coming out to call the alarmist position for what it is.

Walter Starck: The Climate Scam’s Meltdown

The rent-seekers, opportunists, third-rate academics, carbon-market scam artists and peddlers of catastrophic prophecy can see the alarmist bubble deflating, so they’re trying harder than ever to sustain the scare. Problem is, Mother Nature isn’t cooperating.

This doesn’t mean the climate change “debate” will stop, the news media will cease reporting weather as a dire threat, or that the true believers will no longer be obsessed by it. However, the ultimate arbiter, climate itself, has made clear its decision by ceasing to warm for over 18 years. Despite the ongoing use of fossil fuels, a proclaimed 95% certainty of 97% of scientists and the high-powered projections of the world’s most advanced climate models, the…

Some readers have determined that insulators can not increase the temperature of an object to increase. So I guess they can wrap their automobile engine in thick fiberglass insulation, and expect that nothing bad will happen.

Fascinating science.

Here are the rules :

1. Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects
2. Heat can not flow from a cooler object to a warmer object

Therefore, if the temperature of the cooler object increases – the only way to maintain the condition of rule 1 is for the temperature of  warmer object to also increase.

People are making the mistake of not understanding the difference between heat and temperature. The diffusive heat flow between a 30 degree location and a 20 degree location is the same as the diffusive heat flow between a 70 degree location and a 60 degree location.

BTW – I used to model heat flow for a living. Feel free to make a fool of yourself though.

In 1986, Hansen predicted a large increase in hot days in Washington DC

Last month, a Government scientist predicted that the number of days here on which the maximum tempertaure exceeds 100 degrees might just climb from one day a year, on average, to 12 days a year by the year 2050, and that the number of nights in which the temperature does not fall below 80 degrees might leap from one a year to 19.

The scientist, Dr. James E. Hansen, a climatologist at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, describing a study of the global phenomenon of ”the greenhouse effect,” told a Senate subcommittee that such temperature changes ”may significantly affect the climactic environment for the general population.”

TURN UP THAT AIR-CONDITIONER AND READ THIS – NYTimes.com

The exact opposite has happened. The have only been three days over 100 degrees this century.

Modelers need excuses when they miss the mark.

Only 52% of American Meteorological Society members believe that global warming is primarily Mann-made, and only 78% of their members who get paid to produce global warming propaganda do.

According to Kook and Nutter, this is a 97% consensus.
