Bring on the superlatives
It’s RED ALERT time folks.
First it was Global Warming. Then we had some late spring blizzards so it became Climate Change. But then they decided that it was Global Warming after all.
Recently they decided we weren’t panicking enough so it became Global Boiling. But still the world carried on regardless so now it’s officially RED ALERT time.
What next? Official Panic? Doomsday?
They are screaming about records being broken. Highest temperatures ever recorded? Ever? No, in the last 174 years. My car went its fastest ever yesterday [since I started recording speed last month]. Now if they said that they had official records [as measured by an accurate thermometer] for the last 100,000 years I might be interested, but in fact they are relying on tree-rings, ice cores and tarot cards. Well, maybe not the latter but who knows?
So we had a warm year last year. They admit themselves that El Niño was up to its tricks again but then apparently forget about it again. They stick up photos of forest fires [plenty of those every year] and dried up lakes which in themselves mean nothing.
They talk about future trends but these are based on mathematical models. What are those mathematical models based on? Any meteorologist will tell you that the atmosphere is highly unpredictable and impossible to forecast beyond a few days. There are too many variables and most are subject to Chaos Theory. They are basing calculations on factors they don’t even understand themselves. Can they predict volcanic eruptions or solar activity with any real accuracy?
Surely they must realise they are calling “wolf” just a little too often?
I think the icecaps are advancing. It seems pretty brisk up here on the ridge this morning.
Icecaps? It’s their kneecaps that want seeing too!
“They” couldn’t predict there way out of a papersack!!!! Lets just continue to scare everyone so we can raise a few more tax dollars with no accountant ability as to how the newly found money will be spent!!!
That’s all its ever been about, money.
I did a few calculations a while ago, based on the approximate age of the planet I calculated the time they had been collecting data as a percentage. There were 27 or so zeros to the right of the decimal place before the first significant digit!!
That’s science that is.
Indeed. You can’t argue with mathematical facts [or so they keep telling us].
They keep saying that New Zealand has had its hottest year EVAH!. How do they know when you take into account that the first thermometer did not arrive here until 1850somethng with the European settlers. The Maori were not big on measuring things .
It never ceases to amaze me the way the proof comes out of nowhere.
