Climate always changes and CO2 is just not a big factor. This whole thing has been a big hoax where coincidence was turned into scientific fact.

If you really doubt that climate change is real, you absolutely must move beyond simple temperature measurements to actual synoptic studies.

What these proper, genuine synoptic studies show is, in contrast to what temperature studies alone can show, is that there have been quite alarming climate changes dating back to the late 1960s (see “http://blogs.nature.com/climatefeedback/2007/12/tropics_expanding_fast_1.html”). They show that the boundary of the Hadley circulation and the subtropical arid belt has shifted as much as ten degrees poleward over the past forty years – from around 25˚ to around 35˚ either side of the equator.

It is a grave pity that these studies do not look at Tertiary paleoclimate data that show the boundary of the Hadley circulation to have been around 45˚ to 50˚ of latitude right up until the end of the Miocene. In the case of Australia, that would put the arid belt extending right to South East Cape and the monsoon zone covering the vast interior.

What a wonderful day for humanity !

The hoax is over, the kids can go back to playing and stop worrying about the polar bears and the criminals who brought this scam upon the world will now be put on trial. The “green” movement was hijacked by socialist progressives and used as a weapon to scare the world into their “vision” of behavior and tax us into oblivion. Now it is over and the revolt back to common sense is on ! Yeah !!

With all the time, money and effort wasted on AGW, we could have really done some good in the world. Wake-up everyone, time to use that energy on real problems…

NASA’s Latest Discovery: SUN HEATS THE EARTH (American Thincker, June 05, 2009) – Robert Calahan at NASA’s Goddard Space Center could be in big trouble — for telling the truth. Here is a headline for an article in the Daily Tech: “NASA Study Acknowledges Solar Cycle, Not Man, Responsible for Past Warming”… World’s Largest Science Group Rejecting Man-Made Climate Fears:

This article: “Now it turns out this was all a load of fraud, misdirection and lies.”

As someone at Climate Audit just commented:

“All the snippets I have seen (without reading the email file myself) at least indicate that Jones, Mann etc believe the theory they are pushing. I have seen nothing to suggest they are pushing AGW for personal or political reasons. Unfortunately they, like many people, seem to think the end (showing the truth of their theory) justifies the means (pressuring people who are supposed to be independent, concealing data, publishing analysis which are not fully justifiable, etc).

“Since the emails were (presumably) not written with a view to their publication, we can also be sure that they truly believe Steve is a pest who is usually wrong, not a pest who is usually right. I wish they, or somebody else, would explain why climate science lets them be so sure.”

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

Cheers

Here are a “few” of the papers they managed to keep out,
