Poor Martin Khor, Still Desperately Pushing Global Warming Which No One Else Believes in Anymore

I admit that I will gleefully engage in plenty of schadenfreude and I toooooooollllld you so when the global warming hysterians and hucksters are finally forced to eat their words. Especially Martin Khor.

Floods and global climate chaos

Global Trends
By MARTIN KHOR

…

Climate scientists are reluctant to link each of the floods directly to climate change, as this is hard to prove. But there is a general belief that global warming contributes to the increased incidence of flooding.

A scientist at the World Meteo­rological Organisation last year explained how the warming of the oceans increased cloud formation and contributed to the devastating Pakistan floods.

Dublin was affected by flash floods earlier this year. An Irish newspaper, linking it to climate change, cited a flood risk management report of the Office of Public Works in 2009 which claimed that “the frequency, pattern and severity of flooding are expected to increase as a result of climate change.”

Meanwhile, a United Kingdom government-linked report released last week described how climate change is likely to create hundreds of millions of refugees around the world as they try to escape from areas affected by global warming.

The refugees may have to move from their homes as climate change induces events such as floods, droughts, storms and heatwaves, according to the Foresight group, part of Britain’s Office for Science.

However, many of these refugees may move into even worse affected areas, such as coastal areas that are vulnerable to floods from storms and sea level rise.

The floods and the sobering predictions on climate refugees are sober reminders that political leaders need to take global warming more seriously. The interest to act globally on climate change has waned in the past two years.

So global warming causes more flooding, including the curent Thailand floods.

…Even though the globe didn’t warm in the past 15 years:

And maybe, just maybe, the world is yawning about climate change action because of the ever-mounting evidence that Anthropogenic Global Warming is bunk.

Or maybe it is semi-regular revelations of faked ‘science’ supporting AGW.

Or it could be that more and more scientists are refuting AGW:

- 900+ peer-reviewed papers skeptical of AGW.
- 31,000 prominent scientists deny AGW
- Another 1000 scientists reject AGW
- 230 signatories from the American Physical Society skeptical of AGW
- Nobel Prize for Physics winner quits the American Physical Society to protest its belief in AGW

But don’t tell that to Martin Khor, the tears of grief he sheds may cause another localized flood.

The Steve Zwick Guide to Defending the Indefensible: Of course, if this were really a valid defense, then Jones wouldn’t constantly be trying to sneak around such laws. For example, Jones loudly complains that he’d been deleting emails all day in response to an FOI request that didn’t come with a fee. Of course, his friend Tim Osborn, realizing that Jones had incriminated himself, and that the emails would be stored for years in their system, gives him a *wink wink* and *nudge nudge* and suggests that what Phil really meant was that the FOI request merely spurred him into doing a regular cleanup of his email. He further suggest that they use other methods of communication that can’t be traced.

1985 to 2011 Period Proves Piracy/Global Warming Link

Have you seen this scary chart released by the Pastafarians before?

What’s that you say? Just a load of hogwash? Correlation does not imply causation?

Well, in any case pirate attacks have been increasing in recent years, mostly thanks to the Somalis.

Yessir, piracy has made a big comeback!

And wouldn’t you know it, what do we find happening to the planet?

“No statistically significant warming for the past 15 years” – Dr. Phil Jones, Head of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (and centre of the main Climategate scandal

“No warming from 1999-2008″ – British Hadley Centre scientists

“No warming in 11 years” – BBC

“Global average temperature did not increase from 1998-2005″ – Telegraph UK

Or to put it in a Rage way:

And record cold and snowfall in past years. Just look at the recent Snowmageddons!

There you have it: Conclusive proof that lack of pirates causes global warming, and increased pirate numbers gives Mother Gaia a flu.

Nobel Peace Prize over here please!

Prolonged Drought Before Record Snowfall – Gaia Herself Debunks Gore’s Ridiculous Claims

During the Snowpocalype that hit most of the Northern Hemisphere with massive snowfall and shattering cold, Al Gore had this to say by way of explanation:

In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow

Gore is saying that warmer weather causes more evaporation of water, and thus more moisture in the air, which leads to greater precipitation (in the form of record-breaking snow).

But anyone can Google “snowfall despite drought” and find the following:

——————————

North China – Snowfall after drought since October

Alabama – Ice and snow after persistent drought

North Carolina – Record snowfall in December after below-normal rainfall since last July

Missouri – Record making snowfall following 2-year drought

California – Massive snowfall after 3 years drought

Oklahoma – Snow and freezing rain after dry months

Arizona – Plenty of snow after 14 year drought!

Kansas – Trio of snowstorms after chronic drought

Georgia – Crippling snow after months of drought

——————————

There hasn’t been precipitation for months or years despite ‘highest temperatures in recorded history’, so where did all the water go? Did it hang out in the upper atmosphere all the way until 2010/11′s Snowmageddon?

Or maybe there hasn’t been excess evaporation at all… After all, there has not been any real warming for the past decade. That would explain why there has been a drought recently, yes?

But that would be akin to calling Al Gore a liar, a liar, and a liar. And we can’t have that, now can we?

Global Warming Causes Mini-Kaiju Attacks in Japan

Excerpt from AFP:

Bear attacks surge in Japan, climate change blamed

(AFP)

TOKYO — Bear attacks have shot up in Japan this year and sightings of the animals have spiked, a trend blamed on climatic changes and shifting land use patterns, officials and media reports said on Wednesday.

At least four people were killed and 80 wounded in bear attacks between April and September in the island-nation, much of which is covered in mountain forests, topping last year’s total of 64 attacks, said broadcaster NHK.

Some 400 bears were shot dead near human-populated areas by authorised hunters on Japan’s far-northern island of Hokkaido alone, where two people were mauled to death by bears earlier this year, a local official said.

In the mountainous central prefecture of Fukushima, northeast of Tokyo, more than 150 bears were shot dead after they encroached on residential areas.

Some wildlife experts have blamed a record heat wave this summer which impacted the omnivores’ natural food sources and sent the Asiatic black bears foraging for food in more densely populated farming and residential areas.

“The extremely hot summer and other climatic factors may have led to a shortage of acorns or nuts in woodlands this year,” said Tatsuo Sato, an official of the Fukushima prefectural government.

In some areas habitat destruction is blamed for forcing the bears into closer contact with humans. In other parts, farms are being abandoned and reclaimed by nature, reducing buffer zone with the bears’ natural habitats.

Contrary to Tatsuo-san’s conjecture, global warming hysteria has not resulted in any shortage of nuts in the science fields.

Prominent Physicist Resigns From American Physical Society to Protest Global Warming Inquisition

Excerpts from The Global Warming Policy Foundation:

,..

For reasons that will soon become clear my former pride at being an APS Fellow all these years has been turned into shame, and I am forced, with no pleasure at all, to offer you my resignation from the Society.

It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dollars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself to read the ClimateGate documents, which lay it bare.

…

APS management has gamed the problem from the beginning, to suppress serious conversation about the merits of the climate change claims. Do you wonder that I have lost confidence in the organization?

…

Your own Physics Department (of which you are chairman) would lose millions a year if the global warming bubble burst. When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise.

…

I want no part of it, so please accept my resignation. APS no longer represents me, but I hope we are still friends.

Global Warming Causes Poor Government Management of Dengue

First blaming global warming for local mud at Gurney Drive, flooding, flowers losing smell, now this:

Global warming may be cause of sharp rise in dengue cases: Liow
By ONG HAN SEAN

BENTONG: Global warming and changing weather patterns appear to have led to an “alarming” rise in dengue cases and deaths in the region.

“Singapore, Vietnam and Thailand are seeing an increase in dengue cases, as well. This could be due to the rainy season and global warming.

“The changing weather appears to cause the mosquitoes to breed faster,” he said.

As a result, public cooperation was vital in the fight against the disease, he said.

“The ministry cannot fight this war alone. We need the concerted effort of everyone to reduce the number of dengue deaths,” he said.

The death toll from dengue cases this year, as of Sunday, had already hit 100 compared to 67 last year, said Liow.

“During the same period last year, there were 29,183 reported cases. This year, we’re already up to 31,375 cases. The situation now is really alarming,” he told reporters after launching the second Bentong Health Carnival Sunday.

He urged the public to give its full cooperation to the ministry’s gotong-royong programmes to combat dengue.

Have a local problem that you’re handling poorly? Blame global warming!

Suddenly you’re not at fault anymore, it’s the Gaia-hating emissions of the USA at fault!

It’s sheer genius!!!

No, Sir, Non-existant Global Warming Does Not Cause More Tornados

From The Star 18 Aug 2010:

Teach public how to deal with tornadoes

Vong Chin Siang’s recent picture of a tiny tornado in The Star’s “Thumbnails” is one more proof that mini-tornadoes exist in the country.

Mini-tornadoes were behind some of the reported freak storms that blew off roofs and toppled trees around the northern part of the country recently.

This phenomenon has been reported in several neighbouring countries but its existence has not been acknowledged by the local authorities.

They are created by rotating wind systems in the thunderclouds and become mini-tornadoes when the bottom end of the spinning wind column touches the ground.

Fortunately, their lifetime is short, lasting from several seconds to several minutes. However, they can cause destruction to the buildings and trees that come in contact with them.

Vong’s picture of the tiny tornado clearly showed the flying debris that can be very dangerous to people caught outdoors.

The final approach of a mini-tornado is usually accompanied by a loud roaring sound like that of a big truck or train.

Therefore, anyone who witnesses sudden strong winds and then hears a loud roaring sound should immediate seek shelter under a table or bed to avoid being struck by debris from damaged roofs or broken trees.

Several mini-tornado events occur around the country every year and with global warming, this phenomenon is expected to increase in the future. It is more common but less dramatic than the tsunami.

Perhaps the authorities should acknowledge its existence and come up with a simple safety procedure that can be posted on notice boards in schools and public buildings around the country.

ZAHAR,

Kuala Lumpur.

Well then, since rising global temperatures will cause more tornados, we can look forward to fewer tornados. Because there has been no statistically significant warming in the past 15 years, despite continually rising carbon dioxide levels.

Besides, doesn’t he know that apparently Global Warming Reduces Tornadoes and Hurricanes?

Boiling Great Lakesgate – Killer Global Warming Causes Temperatures of 315 Degrees Celcius

Stupid and selfish climate change deniers living in the area failed to notice the spontaneously combusting paper, melting lead and tin, and exploding cars and gas stations.

Via AoSHQ, from Climate Change Fraud:

US Government in Massive New Global Warming Scandal – NOAA Disgraced

Global warming data apparently cooked by U.S. government-funded body shows astounding temperature fraud with increases averaging 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

The tax-payer funded National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has become mired in fresh global warming data scandal involving numbers for the Great Lakes region that substantially ramp up averages.

A beleaguered federal agency appears to be implicated in the most blatant and extreme case of climate data fraud yet seen. Official records have been confirmed as evidence that a handful of temperature records for the Great Lakes region have been hiked up by literally hundreds of degrees to substantially inflate the average temperature range for the northeastern United States.

…

Together the two institutions show temperature maps for northern Lake Michigan registering an absurd 430 degrees Fahrenheit -yes, you read it right –that’s four hundred and thirty degrees-and this is by no means the highest temperature recorded on the charts.

In the heated debate about Earth’s ever-changing climate you certainly don’t need to be scientist to figure out that the Great Lakes would have boiled away at a mere 212 degrees so something has seriously gone awry inside this well-funded program.

…

But our intrepid anonymous whistleblower wasn’t done yet. He pointed out that Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, really got cooking this July 4th around 9:59AM, according to NOAA and Coast Watch. It was there, at the bottom left row of the temperature data points, that the records reveal on that day a phenomenally furnace-like 600 degrees Fahrenheit.

Further analysis of the web pages shows that the incredibly wide temperature swings were occurring in remarkably short 10-hour periods-and sometimes in less than 5 hours. Strangely, none of the 250 citizens of the 78 families living in the village appeared to notice this apocalyptic heatwave during their holiday festivities.

…

The current head of NOAA is Dr. Jane Lubchenco, nominated by President Barack Obama and confirmed by the United States Senate on March 19, 2009 and is the first woman to serve as NOAA administrator. On her appointment Lubchenco declared that science would guide the agency and that she expects it to play a role in developing a green economy. You can say that again!
