Wind subsidy harvesting industry’s reputation up in smoke: 10 times more fires than reported


TO BAD IT ISN’T MORE FOR THIS JOKE OF POWER GENERATION.

Wind turbine blaze scandal

Up to 120 wind turbines catch fire annually, according to the journal of Fire Safety Science. This is 10 times the number reported by the industry, The figures, compiled by engineers at Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh, make fire the second-largest cause of accidents after blade failure.

The researchers claim that out of 200,000 turbines around the world, 117 fires take place annually, many more than the 12 reported by wind farm companies.

2014 Continues To Track 2006, With Almost No Ice Extent Loss Over The Past Five Days


According to Al Gore this is not possible?

Well whats new we know that they really don’t know what is going on — but they sure know how to make complex models that cost a lot of money!

Hey, Al Gore, are you paying attention to the weather, or are you too busy searching for new ways to screw people?….


Hey not to worry Al the NOAA/NASA Homogenization process will cover this blip and show that global temperature went up. Or even better yet maybe NASA will have a hard drive failure and lose all the temperature data … lol

Antarctica continues to defy the global warming script, with a report from Meteo France, that June this year was the coldest Antarctic June ever recorded, at the French Antarctic Dumont d’Urville Station.

Arctic Basin Not Melting


Didn’t Al Gore predict that there would be no arctic ice by now? Maybe his Nobel should be revoked … lol

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

The Arctic Basin is at the peak of the melt season, but is barely melting. The map below shows changes in ice over the last three days. Green shows increased ice, and red shows decreased ice.

Due to cold air and an Arctic cyclone, it is likely that ice extent in the Chukchi Sea will actually increase over the next few days.

On Global Warming, Follow the Money


Money or Power is ALWAYS what it is about and only a fool would think otherwise!

Re-Post from Power Line Posted on July 13, 2014 by John Hinderaker

There is a real irony in the Left’s repeated insinuation that climate realists must be funded, somehow, by the oil industry. In truth, there is plenty of money being distributed to climate scientists, but just about all of it comes from governments, and all government money goes to alarmists who promote government power. From this week’s The Week That Was, from the Science and Environmental Policy Project:

Based US government reports, SEPP calculated that from Fiscal Year (FY) 1993 to FY 2013 total US expenditures on climate change amount to more than $165 Billion. More than $35 Billion is identified as climate science. The White House reported that in FY 2013 the US spent $22.5 Billion on climate change. About $2 Billion went to US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). The principal function of the USGCRP is to provide to Congress a National Climate Assessment (NCA). The latest report uses global climate models, which are not validated, therefor speculative, to speculate about regional influences from global warming.

Much of the remaining 89% of funding goes to goes to government agencies and industries claiming they are preventing global warming/climate change, even though they do not understand the natural causes of climate change and, likely, far overestimate the influence of CO2. These entities have a vested interest in promoting the fear of global warming/climate change.

It is time for the government to stop funding irrational fear of global warming/climate change based on a concept of climate that is not substantiated by the physical evidence. If we are to progress in our understanding of climate change, the paradigm must be changed from one that earth’s temperatures are largely controlled by atmospheric CO2, to one which recognizes that climate change is normal and predominately natural. Human CO2 emissions have little, if any, influence on temperatures and other climate trends.

One of the worst consequences of the global warming power grab by the U.S. government and others around the world has been the corruption of the scientific process, which has brought the discipline of climate science, and by association science in general, into disrepute.

NASA’s Impressive Rate Of Data Tampering


Does the truth even matter to the progressive left?

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

No graph is more damning of NASA/NOAA temperature adjustments than this one. This is the rate of change to the NASA US temperature record since 1999.

On average, 1999 gets 0.02C warmer every year, and the 1940s get about 0.005C colder every year. The pre-1960 past continually gets colder with almost each new NASA data release, and the post-1960 past continuously gets warmer.

If the present refuses to get warmer, then the past must become cooler. How could anyone possibly believe these adjustments are legitimate?
