Incompetent Computer Climate Change Models

There is no conceivable reason to enter into a “climate change” treaty or to subject ourselves to regulatory tyranny when there’s this kind of evidence of shadiness and incompetence.

We need investigations first.

A segment on the Dec. 3 broadcast of BBC’s "Newsnight," showed the implications of the story behind the so-called "ClimateGate" scandal are more than just e-mails concealing data, but an incompetence analyzing the data by way of faulty computer code.

John Graham-Cumming, a British programmer known for the open source "POPFile email filtering program" explained how the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) had wholesale problems with its computer programming analyzing climate change data, with billion, if not even trillions of dollars, on the line.

Not as important as Tiger

Major networks still haven’t reported on the climate change fraud

Alexandria, VA – For the fourteenth straight day, the three broadcast networks have failed to report on the great and growing ClimateGate scandal on their weekday morning or evening news programs.  How to explain this?

Perhaps it is that ABC, NBC and CBS have not yet heard of the story, despite two weeks of non-stop reporting on and discussion of ClimateGate in a whole host of media outlets.

Denial isn’t just a river in East Anglia

This is getting pathetic:

SCIENTISTS at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.

It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years.

The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was forced to reveal the loss following requests for the data under Freedom of Information legislation.

The data were gathered from weather stations around the world and then adjusted to take account of variables in the way they were collected. The revised figures were kept, but the originals — stored on paper and magnetic tape — were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.

The admission follows the leaking of a thousand private emails sent and received by Professor Phil Jones, the CRU’s director. In them he discusses thwarting climate sceptics seeking access to such data.

In a statement on its website, the CRU said: “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.”

These are some of the chief scientists who were involved in the UN’s climate change panel, upon whose report the entire issue of global warming is based. They’ve been caught hiding data, changing numbers, undermining peer-review, etc. Now, they’ve apparently destroyed the original data that they used to make their claims. They only have the fake data left.

What does this mean? It means that any claim these people make based on their own research should be ignored, because they can’t back it up with their original data, and it will be impossible for other scientists to reproduce their results.

Again, this is why we’re supposed to use curly light bulbs. This is why there are Priuses. This is why we need Cap & Trade. This is why we don’t build power plants in this country anymore. It’s all because of data that’s been made up by people who hide their fundamental data.

For those of us who believe that anthropogenic global warming is bullshit, this is just further evidence that it was a manufactured farce perpetrated by ridiculous people for political purposes. For those who believe that it’s a fact, you should be completely outraged by the incompetence and scheming of scientists who are actively seeking to obscure facts, manipulate date, and destroy the people who disagree with them.

How is the White House responding?

Climate Czar Carol Browner (former member of Socialist International):

"I’m sticking with the 2,500 scientists. These people have been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real."

Except that the data they’ve been using is now missing, and all that remains is fake data provided by scientists of questionable character.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs:

"Several thousand scientist have come to the conclusion that climate change is happening…I don’t think that is in dispute anymore"

Except for the fact that the fundamental evidence is in dispute, it’s not in dispute anymore. The dispute has grown so obvious that it’s doubtful that we should even HAVE a climate change czar.

The Assault on Truth

Science at its heart is nothing more than a search for truth. It’s the pursuit of understanding. It’s the gathering of precise and accurate information that describes the universe we live in. Science should be ideologically and politically independent and pure.

Science is also a human endeavor. No other species seeks understanding like we do. And God, however you understand him, has no use for it; He IS science.

Therefore, since science is human, science is corruptible. And science is corrupt.

1,000 emails and more than 3,000 other documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University in the United Kingdom publicly revealed by a hacker, or allegedly an inside whistleblower, are rekindling the flame to the global warming debate just weeks before the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference where the United States will propose an emissions reduction target. A sample of what the emails exposed, which date back 13 years, includes:

“The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.”

And:

“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (i.e., from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

And:

“I can’t see either of these papers being in the next IPCC report,” Jones writes. “Kevin and I will keep them out somehow — even if we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!”

Some have argued the quotes have been taken out of context while others say the context is clear as day. Other information was erased completely to prevent it from being obtained under the Freedom of Information Act. And others believe “that this is not a scandal so much as a window on real scientists working on a politicized issue.”

This is the greatest scandal in human history. Countries have signed treaties based on data that has been altered and while other data has been "hidden." The central scientists can’t explain why there hasn’t been warming, and think it’s a "travesty." They seek to exclude information from UN reports on climate change, rather than simply present the truth.

We’re being asked to use expensive, more dangerous light bulbs we use because of this. We’re asked to drive certain cars because of this. We’re asked to eliminate meat from our diets because of this. We’re asked to give up our nation’s sovereignty because of this. We’re asked to pay more for energy because of this. Our auto industry was driven into collapse partly because of government hysteria based on outright lies about climate change. General Electric has based its business model on solar panels and windmills. The corruption of science has directly affected our lives, from the global level, all the way down to the stuff we keep in our own homes.

The question, now that the skepticism many of us have had about the climate change scam has been confirmed, is why? Control, of course. And money.

These scientists have been funded by GOVERNMENT GRANTS. Therefore, it’s theoretically, and now apparently actually was, in the scientists’ best interest to find and deliver data that supported the global government agenda. And what’s the government’s agenda? Central control, fascism, restrictions on freedom of property, freedom of movement, freedom of association. In all of human history, the agenda of any government is incompatible with individual liberty. Therefore, government-funded science is a tool of tyranny.

Al Gore has become an incredibly wealthy man based on this scam. He’s been the manufactured crisis’s chief salesman, and has profited quite nicely. Yet he’s seen as some kind of crusading hero rather than simply a cynical televangelist. His scientific mentors have been discredited over and over again for decades, but he still cites them. If there’s any justice, his career should be over.

The president’s science czar advocates forced abortions and mass sterilization in response to global catastrophes that he thought were going to come about due to human-caused climate change. If there’s any justice, he’ll be removed from office.

This is a revolutionary time. Everything we’re told is based on lies. Central governments are losing their moral authority to lead. Nation-states all over the world are being unveiled as corrupt, inhumane, lying, oppressive, and paranoid. They have their greasy tentacles in the media, science, entertainment, education, and increasingly, churches. And it’s been going on for decades.

Anything you thought was true 5, 10, 20, 50 maybe even 100 years ago, isn’t. Anybody who still can’t see simply has his eyes shut.

The greatest (worst?) part of this failure of science is that basic truth has become a casualty. They’ve brought about a condition where honest discovery must be met with extreme skepticism. They’ve brought about a situation where the smartest among us can’t be trusted, which could allow a new age of superstition and fear to finally destroy our age of enlightenment. Their lack of a solid moral compass has undermined their influence. And because of that, we’re one step closer to the edge of a new dark age. Too much of our faith was placed in the hands of prideful, weak, corrupt, ridiculous men. Our founders warned us. God warned us. And yet, here we are.

Condescending dickhead seeks to lead us

Our Secretary of Energy (a position that shouldn’t even exist) has some thoughts about Americans.

Speaking on the sidelines of a smart grid conference in Washington, Dr. Chu said he didn’t think average folks had the know-how or will to to change their behavior enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions.

“The American public…just like your teenage kids, aren’t acting in a way that they should act,” Dr. Chu said. “The American public has to really understand in their core how important this issue is.”

We’re not acting how the fascist progressives want us to act. Yay us!

The requisite "clarification" came a few minutes later:

Energy Department spokesman Dan Leistikow added: “Secretary Chu was not comparing the public to teenagers. He was saying that we need to educate teenagers about ways to save energy."

Sigh. Why can’t anybody in the administration get it right the first time? This Chu jackass "accidentally" called us immature misbehavers, but he really meant that the teenagers were the ones acting like teenagers. Or something.

Anyway, as long as they keep lying to us, condescending patronization is probably just a minor, expected offense in the big scheme of things.
