Climate Fools Day 2011



Weather Action Climate Fools Day Video taken at the House of Commons on Wednesday 26th of October 2011

Many apologies for the poor sound quality, we had one cameraman, but no soundman. This YouTube is still worth it's weight in gold for climate information. Well done to all those who came, pity the AGW media and Government reps (apart from our very own Sammy Wilson) did not take time out. It may have helped them to understand how the tax payers money is being thrown down the drain. GR

Once more Britain's airspace has been thrown into chaos by the Met Office's computer models (which cost the taxpayer £30 million and goodness knows how many billions in terms of lost economic activity).

We know that the Met Office doesn't bother much with evidence, witness Prof John Mitchell's unguarded remarks at the Downing College Conference (at which I was present).....

People underestimate the power of models. Observational evidence is not very useful,... Our approach is not entirely empirical.‘

This explains why they produced ridiculous projections, yet again, about the volcanic ash 'cloud' which bore no relation whatever to reality. Ryan Air and BA both conducted experiments (do the Met Office know the meaning of the word?) to find out where the ash might be and if it presented any threat. Both correctly measured its virtual non-existence and corrected concluded that it presented no danger to aircraft.

With whisper-quiet electric cars set to proliferate, the motor industry is under pressure to give them an artificial noise for safety purposes, but should they sound like traditional petrol vehicles?

It is an unsettling experience watching a car drive around, hearing little more than the whisper of the wind it generates as it glides down the road.

There would have been little time to get out of its way had it gone unseen.

Such a moment is the essence of the debate over how electric and hydrogen fuel cars should sound in the future.

The answer could determine how different cities could sound in 10 or 20 years. The rise of the electric car presents a rare opportunity to tackle the persistent roar of traffic that many city dwellers are used to.

I attended this and below are a couple of blogs by, repectively, James Delingpole and Bishop Hill. In many respects I would agree that the event did have a lot of talking across each other.

What was of some interest is just how little the AGWers really have in their locker. They have been aware of the severe holes in their position, but really haven't managed to invent any good replies. Eg the issues of the ice cores showing warming leading CO2 was sloughed over Prof Eric Wolff (Scott Polar Inst.) suggesting it didn't really matter which came first did it? Well I suppose not if time has no meaning, but most of us fairly simple souls have a vague intuition that cause generally precedes effect, but, hey, we can be flexible surely!

Ian Plimer's comment to me during the coffe break was, "well if that's all they can do I can put away my canon and use a pea-shooter." P.F.

Yesterday I was at Downing College, Cambridge, for a Climate Change conference organised by Professor Alan Howard, the scientist/philanthropist/entrepreneur known, inter alia, for having devised the Cambridge diet and for funding the magnificent lecture hall in which the event took place. (For more reporting – and some brilliant cartoons from Josh who sat right next to me sketching in a most impressive way – see Bishop Hill; and many, many thanks to the Howard Trust for organising it.)

As the world is gripped by extreme weather, the global warming sceptics are gaining ground. Who is winning the battle for our hearts and minds?

Global-warming sceptics are gaining ground, but are they full of hot air? (Jasper James)

In a basement in London, in probably the smallest office in the world, an American television crew is demanding to know what the weather will be like on April 29, the day Prince William marries Kate Middleton. Any mainstream meteorologist would tell them their question is unanswerable so far in advance. But Piers Corbyn is not mainstream.

“It looks like being a cool day with blustery showers, although we do have to see if there will be a blocking high pressure to keep things away. But to do it properly we need a little more time.”

Corbyn, who is the brother of the Labour MP Jeremy Corbyn, has the air of a Dickensian clerk — crazy hair, disordered clothes, and he sniffs persistently through a giant nose. “He comes across,” muses one climate scientist, “as mad as a hatter, but he’s not daft.”

March 01, 2011, Cambridge, UK. Press Dispensary. The price of misjudging the global response to climate change theories could be catastrophe: economic for developed nations and life-threatening for the world’s poorest people. One prevailing scientific view of climate change dominates world policy-making, leading to radical law-making of seismic significance. But is this view proven beyond reasonable doubt or is it just one theory among many, driven by vested interests? And if wrong, at what cost is it being followed ... and who will pay?

On March 19, 2011, ‘Climate Change?’, a landmark international one day conference in St Ives, Cambridge, questions the most fundamental tenets of prevailing climate change theory and digs below the sound-bite headlines. Held on the weekend running up to Climate Week, it will feature a range of experts in the field, with international scientific reputations, and will reopen a debate which has yet to be settled but which has slipped from media attention now that governments are beginning to set policies, however misguided those policies may be.

Under the full title of ‘Climate Change? Who is Paying? And for What?’, the conference will see the launch of a nationwide campaign to repeal the Climate Act 2008, the legislation responsible for committing the UK to a massive and costly carbon reduction programme, not to mention the present flood of wind farms. The ‘Campaign to Repeal the Climate Change Act’ ( www.repealtheact.co.uk ), which soft-launched on Facebook in 2010, is headed up by Fay Tuncay, who is an expert speaker at the conference. There will also be a call to establish a "Climate Change Truth Commission" with the brief of fully and impartially assessing the true state of climate change science.

Global warming sceptics in the UK have gathered to mark what they've dubbed 'Climate Fools Day'. On this date two years ago, snow fell in London as the British Parliament was debating a bill to tackle global warming. It was the first such early snowfall for over eighty years. Activists claimed the ironic coincidence was just more proof that the bill is a waste of billions of tax-payers' pounds. One of those doubting the reality of climate change is Reverend Philip Foster, who joins us now live from London.

Citizens!

Attached some great A5 leaflets from Philip Foster.

The one called WhatGreenH.pdf was produced after Philip and I met two weeks ago at the UKIP conference. Philip understood the issue of counting the same energy twice over instantly and also grasped the fact that the so-called greenhouse gases actually make the earth cooler rather than warmer.

It is these two issues that are not even grasped by the majority of skeptical academics and are the major stumbling block to being effective in stopping the ongoing madness over emissions.

Best,

Hans
