Hat tip m
While watching the live performance of, “Peter Pan,” being performed as a small child, I clapped like a little idiot when it was announced that the fairy Tinkerbell would cease to exist should we stop believing in her. Clapping it seems is how fairies come to know that they are believed in. My world got a little brighter in the last 24 hours. two of the Green Fairy’s most ardent supporters, not only stopped clapping, but have started to tell others not to clap any longer. The Green Fairy is dying, and her imminent demise is only a matter of time. It is none too soon I might add, as she is a mischievously evil little sprite.
I have two sources for this wonderful turn of fortunes in this seriously not over with debate, in which the science is most certainly not settled. Both sources will lead you to other sources, so dig deep, and read, read read.
Click here for source number one, the church of global warming is facing some tough times ahead.
Couple these high level defections from Global Warming hysteria’s upper echelon, George Monboit, Fritz Varenholt, and Sebastien Luning, with the Cern Super Collider experiment earlier this year that pretty well proved that our own Sun and the cosmic rays produced by Solar Flairs are actually responsible for our constantly varying temperatures, and what we have left are only the dumbest kids in the audience still clapping for Tinkerbell’s malevolent sibling. All of that of course on top of the fact that none of the claims made of warming’s effects have ever been shown to be true in any way. Historically speaking, during previous periods of warming on a global scale, (yes we have had warming periods long before air conditioning, SUV’s, reliable electricity, incandescent light bulbs, and too many farting cows,) have been met with economic booms, periods of increased living standards, and better public health.
From the second source above.
What has set it all off? One of the fathers of Germany’s modern green movement, Professor Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt, a social democrat and green activist, decided to author a climate science skeptical book together with geologist/paleontologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning. Vahrenholt’s skepticism started when he was asked to review an IPCC report on renewable energy. He found hundreds of errors. When he pointed them out, IPCC officials simply brushed them aside. Stunned, he asked himself, “Is this the way they approached the climate assessment reports?”
Vahrenholt decided to do some digging. His colleague Dr. Lüning also gave him a copy of Andrew Montford’s The Hockey Stick Illusion. He was horrified by the sloppiness and deception he found. Persuaded by Hoffmann & Campe, he and Lüning decided to write the book. Die kalte Sonne cites 800 sources and has over 80 charts and figures. It examines and summarizes the latest science.
As a public service, and for those who are interested in actual science, here is an hour and a half long video debunking the premise that warming science is a settled issue. It meticulously attacks the idea that we have no debate left, and does so in an easy to understand format. It debunks the main premises of the global warming crowd, and at least makes the argument that better practices should be used to make scientific conclusions. After the video, I have just a little more to say about the subject.

Global Warming hysteria has never been about saving the environment. Environmentalists were used to front a Marxist agenda. They were used for two major reasons. One reason is that they are passionate about their belief in protecting our environment, and for this I actually salute them. The second reason of course is that they are easy to whip up into a lather, even if the facts of what they are advocating are not entirely on their side. For this, they do not deserve to be saluted, but ridiculed. Here is the proof of that second point.
The argument of course went like this, our economic activity and earned living standard has been causing the entire earth to warm dangerously, therefore, we should all sacrifice our very economic freedom and individual property rights in order to prevent copious amounts of Carbon Dioxide from wreaking more havoc on our beleaguered environment. Now that the hoax is being shown to be a hoax, (which inexplicably will still be used as a campaign position by Barack Obama this year,) you can expect the major players behind the hoax to move on to their next hysteria mongering scam. the environmentalists will be left to their own weakened devices now that they are no longer capable of serving a purpose pushing forward the Marxist Agenda. The Marxists of course will not simply go away. They will merely slink off to their next scheme to get us to go along with their hidden agenda. It’ll almost be fun to see what they come up with next, almost.

and Maddona’s half time show was a
STANIC RITUAL
“The entire act was sending a subliminal message to the world, and that message is the following. ‘Take heart, lovers of pleasure. Our satanic messiah is about to appear with great power to usher in world peace so that everyone (who worships Satan ) can have a good time,’
The Global Warming Hoax will never go away, though. If we have another Ice Age, the Globam Warmists will claim it is being caused by Global Warming.
@ mawskrat:
I haven’t actually watched a half time show since that nonsensical baloney in Super Bowl XIII. Madonna has been widely panned for that performance, which I did not see. From what I can tell, it pretty much sucked. My guess is that the Lord of the underworld could pull off a better show than that, just sayin.

I don’t know if people here saw it, but over at PJM Zombie has done a superb piece quoting from one of the “global cooling/coming Ice Age” books from the Seventies.
The dangers being cited as imminent, and the remedies for getting rid of them, were exactly the same for the “global cooling threat” as they have been for the global warming threat. Exactly. The. Same.

That is because their goals have nothing to do with climate. It is all about undoing the Industrial Revolution. Well, undoing it for the likes of thee and me. The Global Elites (of which the Republican Elites are but a subset) will retain all their high-tech lifestyle. They have to be able to jet off to Davos and Tahiti to have their conferences where they decide how the rest of us live. And how we die. Undoing the Industrial Revolution will dramatically decrease the life spans of most of the world’s population, but they see that as a great feature, and not a bug at all. They want to get the human population down to a managable level, and “natural” attrition from disease and age would be a useful tool for that.

It is sobering to realize how very much the elites of the late-18th and 19th centuries hated—really hated—the Industrial Revolution, because it allowed ordinary people to live in a manner closer to that of their “betters”—what my old Political Science professors used to call “the democratization of amenities.”
It is difficult to fathom the vast difference between the way most ordinary people lived 100 to 150 years ago and the way the “1%” of their day lived, back then. So many things we take for granted today—drinking glasses, overcoats, clean clothing and indoor plumbing, to name a few—are things we enjoy only because of the Industrial Revolution. The people of my grandfather’s generation grew up in dirt-floored thatched-roofed huts in Czarist Russia; here, they prospered and were able to acquire all the benefits that the Industrial Revolution afforded.
water issues vary depending on where you look. Saudi Arabia will be halting – if it hasn’t already – wheat production because its aquifers are being depleted.
Israel has been brilliant re: water. I think they invented drip irrigation.
India has had a spurt in agricultural production but now is being crimped in some places due to declining wells
There are constant water fights re: Colorado river.
The impact is always on food production/price. And therein lies the seeds not of wheat/bread, but revolutions.

@ Iron Fist:
here is how it will go down. they will present and over-hype some water issues and falsify some data. then, there will be talk about not a carbon tax, but a ‘water tax’ that everyone has to pay regardless if you live in a problem area or not. then there will be regulations applied to everyone whether you live in a water problem area or not.
not only will the price of all goods go up, but more will be taken as a tax as well and more freedom will be taken in regulation. i can see a ban on swimming pools here even though we watch hundreds of millions of gallons of water a day just pass by on the ohio and beaver rivers heading down to mawscrat’s house.

Nuclear submarines do not use desalination, they actually split the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen (it’s where they get their oxygen supply) and then recombine them into pure h2o. It’s what allows nuclear sub’s to remain submerged for so long. The water is actually a by-product of their oxygen generation system.

@ coldwarrior: I lived in AZ since 1978. In Tucson for 20+ years. The last 15 years in the White mountains The vast majority of homes in the Tucson area have desert landscaping, no grass, Phoenix on the other hand has mostly grass landscaping. The water usage per household in Tucson verses Phoenix is substantially lower. This did not prevent the politicians from issuing an edict that everyone would reduce their water usage by a certain percent or be penalized. The people in the Phoenix had no problem in reaching the mandated reduction due to their excessive water usage. In Tucson it was a struggle. I won’t even go in to the water usage on the numerous golf courses in both Phoenix and Tucson. When algore and the Hollywood nitwits all move into 2500 sq ft. homes I’ll take them seriously.
