Of long standing, way, way, before it became the 21st-century ’cause célèbre’, is the fake media alarm about changing weather patterns, whatever the direction of change, especially in the era of ‘GloBull Warning’. Way back in 1922 for example, the Washington Post carried an AP ‘GloBull Warning’ (yes, ‘warning’ not ‘warming’) story about unprecedented warming in the Arctic:

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from the Consulate at Bergen Norway.

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.

Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the Gulf Stream still very warm.

Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelt which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.

Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable. [end]

The following year (1923), Time Magazine worried that the discovery of changes in the sun’s heat and southward advances of glaciers in recent years, had given rise to the conjectures of the possible advent of a new ice age. Ten years later however, the New York Times reported: “America in Longest Warm Spell Since 1776; Temperature Line Records a 25-Year Rise”.

One has to surmise of course, that it all must have been caused by the 1920’s Ford Model T’s emissions or possibly from horse and cattle flatulence? [sarc]

Let’s come up to date and take a shot at reality, shall we?

Then to wrap, and to close with at least a modicum of commonsense regarding this most egregious of ongoing current topics, there’s this (with comprehensive links provided below):

After the alarm caused by Al Gore’s film “An Inconvenient Truth” in 2006, these are my findings about the drivers of Earth’s global climate.

Along the way, I learned about the “Greenhouse Theory” and how water vapor, methane and carbon dioxide delay outgoing heat radiation to space. I also learned about how atmospheric convection cools the Earth.

I learned about global climate as a statistical construct.

  • also learned about the Sun and its cycles, and about how they correlate to climate changes in the past.
  • studied about continental drift and the ice core drillings, and how climate has always been changing from the beginnings of our planet, some 4,500 million years ago, and has continued to change since the origins of carbon-based life, some 3,800 million years ago.
  • I learned about the Milankovitch cycles and the celestial origin of the profound long-range climate oscillations.
  • and also about the “El Niño” and “La Niña” transferring heat across the Pacific Ocean, and their multidecadal effects on the global climate.

I studied the global temperature anomaly records and what they seemed to show, and about their problems with the warm microclimates near cities and inside towns and airports, where most thermometers are located.

  • also studied the satellite-based global temperature records since 1979.
  • and learned about the United Nations Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change, about how this political-scientific organization went about preparing their alarming Assessment Reports.
  • I read theory on the effects of the Solar wind on the formation of clouds that shade the Earth reflecting sunlight out to space.
  • and discovered that carbon dioxide is the gas of life for carbon-based creatures on Earth.

I try to present this science in this long page and am thankful to the many scientists that present their work with clarity. I am thankful to the many professional and amateur “climate auditors” that will not let the scientific method be trampled on by politics.

Almost 100 years ago, neither Science nor the Media seemed to have had a good grip on where the direction of global warming/cooling/climate and other change was going. But there was definitely enough interest for the media to express alarm, something that speciously continues to this day.

The hubris of the GloBull looney crowd knows no bounds, and until we can control local weather and climate (hint, hint, which will not, and cannot, happen), all of this nonsensical, unattainable clap trap is meaningless. Recall at one point, we were going to seed hurricanes to lessen their impact? Thank God for the likes of Andrés Valencia and countless other Climate Warriors of Truth who wage the battle every day under severe criticism.

When future generations try to understand how the world got carried away around the end of the 20th century by the panic over global warming, few things will amaze them more than the part played in stoking up the scare by  the fiddling of official temperature data.

The entire ‘GloBull warning’ myth is a scam of unprecedented proportions which needs to be unveiled for everyone to see.

As in: GloBull Warning. Period. Over. Out.
