Union of Concerned Scientists – Unwarranted Concern about the Northeast US

Global warming “signals” are like those ink blot butterfly/sexual patterns. They are pretty meaningless in themselves, but what the person viewing the pattern/signal sees, tells you far more about the mindset of the observer than anything about the pattern/signal.
What the global warming hoax has shown me is that science is not the discipline of impartial observers that I mistakenly believed in my naive youth. Science is just as full of petty politics irrational crusades and outright fraud as any other subject and just because something is called “science” or done by “scientists” there is absolutely no more reason to trust it than any other piece of information Unless or until it shows it uses the scientific method and subjects its assertions to scientific test.
And if like the global warming religion it can’t create a suitable test to test its assertions, then it has no right to call itself a science!

Quick, lets spin up another emergency before the beer money runs out!

Watermelons, green out the outside and red on the inside. Marxist/leftist groups found that a post USSR society meant that another political vehicle had to found to progress their common political ideology.
These people knew full well the negative perception of the USSR and shed that particular model and it became obvious that the new model to progress their common ideology was a fabricated concern for the environment and the earth, it was a perfect ‘in’ for the purpose on introducing vulnerable concerned young people to the joys of Marxist/leftist ideology.
Hook these concerned but innocent and trusting young people with mind bombs/subliminal messages/hard sell indoctrination/group think sessions at the green equivalent of young pioneer camps and the new budding army of the proletariat is ready for action. Hard line Marxist groups are never far away at demos and leaders are interchangeable and expert at cross pollination of ideas and tactics.
The eco movement is a political movement, its aims are wholly political and its tactics and ideology is political with rent a rabble street thugs playing a central part, see one climate justice banner next to a red banner with a hammer and sickle? The mental illness of leftism precludes them from seeing the incredible environmental damage the USSR inflicted on the planet and still playing its deadly role today decades after the fall of the USSR but then again the watermelons could not give two hoots for the environment.

These “concerned scientists” would not accept reality even if they were facing the new Ice Age or a firing squad.
Excessive institutionalization (and, therefore, bureaucratization, corruption and unaccountability) in the Western society resulted in the situation where people capable of successfully negotiating the system are, by the same token, detached from the reality to the extent that they generally failing to perform their professional functions.
This gap between reality and its perception in the eyes of those who claim the authority to manage our lives is artfully exploited by the cynically-minded criminals who seized control of power and money in most of the world’s countries.
The scoundrels riding the fools and slave-driving the cowards: was that the cherished goal of enlightenment, humanism, and liberalism? Is that what the best and the ablest representatives of humanity have been fighting for and dying for all these centuries since we came out from the caves?
As Stanislav Lem, the famous Polish philosopher and SF writer, aptly observed, “of all the possible futures the humanity has chosen not the most beautiful one.”

Watermelons? The way they’re flip-flopping with the science, I say more like brown pancakes!

With the Union of Concerned Scientists at least the advocacy is openly identified. I appreciate that. With some of these other organizations (Royal Society for one) the advocacy is somewhat cloaked.

Dave Springer,
“I wouldn’t call a 2 degree F rise “no significant warming”. ”
Nobody has said that a two degrees F rise is not significant. None of those graphs above show a 2 degrees F rise. The nearest is a 1.7, most of which occurred before 1930. In the last 80 years, in this location, there has been NO SIGNIFICANT WARMING at all.
Where that rise does happen is in one of them, which would mean the only way to find anything like significant warming from the above graphs, one would need to carefully cherry-pick the one graph that shows some warming and then omit all the other graphs entirely, and omit the inconvenient truth in that graph that the so-called modern-unprecedented late 20th century CO2 caused warming does not appear at all.
Your comment therefore is a big FAIL.

What a rubbish article.
Go on to the website and select any northern region and plot winter trend and it’ll be positive.
The trend shows up to 3 degrees increase over the 1895 to 2010 period for West North Central.
That’s certainly warming which ever way to look at it!

Assuming the measurement is correct, when we know they are all biased high.

Winters are becoming less snowy? Surely they jest.
