Newly sworn-in President Ted Nugent (R Michigan) cancelled his plans to be the first President to perform at his own inaurgal ball because of bitterly cold weather. This afternoon high temperatures managed to hit only -5 deg F at Dulles. As his first act as President, Nugent closed down Camp David and says he will convert the large reservation into a nature perserve where he intends to hunt elk, wild boars, and cougars. With frigid cold again dominating the news worldwide and with home heating bills skyrocketing, President Nugent gave a quick press conference and demanded that Congress temporairily revoke all federal taxes on gasoline, natural gas and heating oil. Today the low over Chicago fell to -33 deg F, while the daytime high over Boston was just -10 deg F. The newly elected House Speaker Chuck Norris (R California) promised immediate support for President Nugent’s request as well as support for declarations of federal disaster zones all across Florida, where citrus crops have been devastated.

Commenting about the wroldwide drop in surface temperatures, retired NASA Chief Scientist James Hansen and now Professor Emeritus of Enviormental Studies at East Anglia University, argued that surface temperatures do not tell the entire story, “You just cannot look at what’s going on at the surface. If you look at the ocean in depth, you will find that AGW has just gone underground so to speak. Our studies have shown runaway warming below the surface which will be sure to manifest itself in the coming decades.” The rest of the interview could not be concluded due to downed power lines caused by one of the worst blizzards in the UK since 1706.

In other inaugural news, President Nugent was able to team up with other members of the Damn Yankees and performed a small concert to a delegation of EU ministers. Vice President Chelsea Clinton was enroute to Switzerland to investigate the warnings of a rapid advancement in Alpine Glaciers. Former Vice President Al Gore, now one of Forbes Richest Men, made news recently, when his alpine chalet had to evacuated due rapidly advancing ice. Now President of the Stop The Ice foundation, Mr Gore is leading efforts to raise public awareness about AGGA (Anthropegenic Global Glacier Advance). He will team up with Michael Moore in producing a documentary….

My prediction for 2020.

1) Paul Jose gets post humous ‘Nobel Prize of Science’ for spawning a whole raft of work on ‘physical models’ for Solar Cycles and the Earth’s resulting climate.

2) UN convenes to discuss how to cope with 80 more years of the Landscheidt Minimum.

3) NASA is mandated by Congress to create an independent body to thwart consensus science so we never get caught with our pants down again (until the next time ;) )

A war to dwarf all previous ones is coming.

Well, the Greenies will get their wish. Population will dive. Then, there will be a long Dark Age.

The BBC also said that some climatologists believe temperatures have peaked and that the climate may be much more resistant to change then was previously thought, although the overwhelming majority of scientists (sic) still believe Global Warming is continuing and is being caused by Man. No need to worry, though – this year’s expected dip in the temperature would only be a temporary blip.

“Resistant to change”. That’s got to be the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.

Actually global warming is caused by Mann. ;)

2017

Newly Elected US President, and former Senator James Inhofe, signed legislation today overturning all CO2 emissions caps, restrictions, credits, etc, allowing the US to produce unlimited amounts of CO2, and banning all CO2 credit trading in the US.

Former UN Secretary General Al Gore criticized the action claiming that the US disregard for greenhouse gas limits will only cause more enhanced greenhouse effect which will increase anthropogenic climate change/global warming, which will further cause more global cooling which will only prolong the current CO2/AGW induced mini-ice age which is causing devastating severe cold weather and more disastrous anthropogenic climate change stretching around the world.

Solar cycle 24 has still not started, although NASA has delayed the prediction for the start of the new cycle another 2 months from Mar 2017 to May 2017.

The Satellite temps for 2016 were released and global temps have now dropped 1.93 C (3.51 F) since the peak in 1998 showing what many people refer to as a mini-ice age is still continuing. James Hansen also released the official GISS/NASA temps, which show that 2016 tied for 2nd hottest year on record.

In response to GISS temp data, Surfacestations.org released “How not to measure temperature part 3275”, revealing that 71% of weather/temperature stations used in the 2016 GISS temp statistics have now been located indoors to due to new cabling guidelines.

Atmospheric CO2 levels reached 475 ppm. CNN and the Weather Channel report that this largely due to the increased burning of fossil fuels for heating homes and business because of the severe colder global temperatures from the current mini-ice age, which is directly caused by global warming, which is directly caused by enhanced greenhouse effect which is caused by dramatically increased CO2 levels, which is caused by burning more fossil fuels, due to the severe colder temps from the current mini-ice age….etc, etc. etc.

Wattsupwiththat.com and Junkscience.com ran a story on a new controversial study that shows that the current prolonged solar minimum accounts for only about 30% of the temperature decline since 1998. According to that study, the other 70% is actually caused by “artificial volcanic ash generator” systems implemented in 2009 to block sunlight in the upper atmosphere to counteract enhanced greenhouse effect and curb global warming, funded by billions of Euros in global CO2 carbon taxes and CO2 carbon credit trading.

The Realclimate.com blog questioned those findings, claiming that this study is “bogus because it was funded by Exxon/Mobile”. Realclimate.com also claims that if it were not for the artificial volcanic ash generators blocking sunlight to counteract increased greenhouse effect, the anthropogenic global warming induced mini-ice age would be even more severe than it has been. However, in a bold response to that claim, Wattsupwiththat.com concedes that although originally climate change/global warming was not anthropogenic, the current severe colder global climate change is indeed partially man-made. The IPCC invited Wattsupwiththat.com to submit their results for the IPCC version 22 report on anthropogenic climate change, although they disagree with the conclusions.

Leslie Stahl interviewed former UN General Secretary Al Gore on KGBS 60 minutes from his homeless shelter. “You were a few hundred votes away from becoming President of the United States. You were UN Secretary General for 3 weeks, before the 2nd set of recounts, which overturned your election, after the first set of recounts you sued for, overturned the original vote in which you first, and eventually lost to former Russian President Putin.”

“You have been stripped of your Nobel Peace Prize. You invested everything you owned into your CO2 carbon credit programs which have now gone bankrupt. Tipper left you because she just can’t stand that beard again. And now you are homeless after losing your mansion that you spent millions on to make retrofitted green. It seems like you have now lost everything?”

“No, Leslie, I still have my Oscar!” grasping the battered gold statuette with pride. “It is the most prized possession I have left!” he continued. “At least Hollywood didn’t take that away from me. Although I did feel shunned I didn’t win another Academy Award for my second film ‘An Incon-Venus Truth’ which was nominated in 2009 for Best Special Effects for it CGI generated film sequences. You know,” with a glimmer of envy in his eye, “I didn’t ask for a recount in that voting. I respect Hollywood voting.”

“There’s still a lot of skepticism about whether global warming, and now this recent global cooling and mini-ice age, is man made. Well, there’s pretty impressive people like the president,” Stahl pointed out.

“You’re talking the newly elected President James Inhofe?” Gore added.

“Yeah, but others. And they say: we don’t know what causes it and why spend all this money till we really know,” Stahl said.

“”I think that those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view. They’re almost like the ones who still believe that the Manned Venus landing scenes in my 2009 blockbuster Academy Award CGI Special Effects Nominated movie “An Incon-Venus Truth” where the astronauts, after landing on Venus, discovered massive SUV’s, highways, factories, coal burning power plants, and other signs of civilization on Venus that were all destroyed by CO2 induced aphroditeogenic Global Warming, was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the earth is flat. That demeans them a little bit, but it’s not that far off,” Gore stated, with a familiar smirk on his face.

Remember their “it’s going to be the hottest summer ever”, at the start of 2007? Turned out to be unusually wet and cold – the wettest summer, in fact, in over 100 years.

When queried about this on yesterday’s Channel 4 Midday News, a Hadley spokesman stated that weeks of torrential rain and a truly miserable summer were all quite consistent with Global Warming theory. The interviewer – Krishnan Guru-Murthy – had difficulty concealing his amusement.

Made me laugh as well – but then I’m easily amused. No wonder these people have so little credibility amongst the population at large.

But they have made a testable prediction – another ‘record’ temperature within 5 years or less. It’s going to be an interesting 5 years…

They predicted we’re in for a cooler summer this year – not to be confused with an earlier Hadley forecasts during the day of “wetter and warmer”. (Warmer? Cooler? Who cares – it’s all consistent with AGW, as was stated by a Hadley talking-head on Channel 4′s Midday News ).

The BBC showed a temperature chart, with temperatures reaching a maximum in what looked liked about 2002, and dropping since then. Wasn’t made clear if this was supposed to be for the UK or for the world, but as 1998 didn’t stand out as anything special it looked decidedly odd.

The BBC also said that some climatologists believe temperatures have peaked and that the climate may be much more resistant to change then was previously thought, although the overwhelming majority of scientists (sic) still believe Global Warming is continuing and is being caused by Man. No need to worry, though – this year’s expected dip in the temperature would only be a temporary blip.

Not sure what to make of this. Was it just another example of the BBC pushing it’s usual AGW line? Or does it show them beginning to have doubts?
