Can you believe anything they say on global warming?

Climate scaremongers have been wringing their hands over the melting of the Himalayan glaciers. One problem - once again the data is false. And it also appears that leading scientists knew and hushed up the fact to prevent embarrassment at the Copenhagen summit. Rajendra Pachauri, head of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) knew for months that data about glacier melt in the organization's report was wrong. But as part of the basis for the Copenhagen meeting, he did nothing to correct it claiming ignorance. Baloney! As The Times (UK) reported:

Mr Pallava interviewed Dr Pachauri again this week for Science and asked him why he had decided to overlook the error before the Copenhagen summit. In the taped interview, Mr Pallava asked: “I pointed it out [the error] to you in several e-mails, several discussions, yet you decided to overlook it. Was that so that you did not want to destabilise what was happening in Copenhagen?”

Dr Pachauri replied: “Not at all, not at all. As it happens, we were all terribly preoccupied with a lot of events. We were working round the clock with several things that had to be done in Copenhagen. It was only when the story broke, I think in December, we decided to, well, early this month — as a matter of fact, I can give you the exact dates — early in January that we decided to go into it and we moved very fast.

If you believe this nonsense I have a bridge here in Woodstock I'd be willing to sell, one of the few covered bridges left in the country as a matter of fact. And speaking of money, in a related story The Times reported that:

The chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has used bogus claims that Himalayan glaciers were melting to win grants worth hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Rajendra Pachauri's Energy and Resources Institute (TERI), based in New Delhi, was awarded up to £310,000 by the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the lion's share of a £2.5m EU grant funded by European taxpayers.

There you have it, boys and girls. Once again love of money leads to lying and falsification of data. If you believe these climate change gurus after repeated demonstrations of their lies, you need to have your head examined. Remember the old adage, "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

They should have gone to GoToMeeting.Com

The Climate Summit Boondoggle in Copenhagen is having a negative impact on the global carbon footprint. The Wall Street Journal reported the following:

Majken Friss Jorgensen, managing director of Copenhagen's biggest limousine company told the London Telegraph on Dec. 5th that she reckoned that between her and her rivals the total number of limos in Copenhagen for the global warming conference has already broken the 1,200 barrier. The French alone rang up last Thursday and ordered another 42. "We haven't got enough limos in the country to fulfill the demand,' she says. 'We're having to drive them in hundreds of miles from Germany and Sweden."

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among all those limos? "Five," said Ms. Jorgensen.

They should have held their sessions via GoToMeeting.com. Think of all the carbon emisssions poor Mother Earth would have been spared, not to mention the city of Copenhagen. All those political gasbags emitting CO2, not to mention methane, is more than one city should have to bear.

Please Send Some Global Warming This Way

About now I'm longing for the Medieval warm period which was considerably warmer than today despite the fact that the carbon footprint of man was like Friday's footprints in the sand in Robinson Crusoe. In fact, Greenland got its name because the glacial land mass was filled with lush green meadows where Norsemen settled and farmed.

Here in Virginia I'm longing for a little global warming. We are due for a major storm tonight that may give us the biggest snowfall ever in December. Brrr. And next week the temps are supposed to be down in the teens for a frigid cold snap.

And then there's the big snowstorm in Copenhagen during the Chicken Little conference. God's sense of humor is so delightful! Oh, and has anyone noticed that all they're talking about is money? That is, after all, what the global warming scam is all about.

In the meantime, I guess we'll just have to put on more layers here and stock up on all the major necessities of life: like toilet paper and hot chocolate. It looks to be a long, cold winter.
