According to the scientific method, it is impossible to prove a theory is right. But climate alarmists ignore the scientific method and simply BELIEVE their theory is right. They don’t have time for any stinkin’ proof they are wrong.</div>

The United Nations <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change</em> (IPCC) claims human emissions have caused ALL the increase in CO2 since 1750. They say it was 280 ppm in 1750 and human emissions caused it to rise to 410 ppm today.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
IPCC claims human CO2 emissions have clogged the carbon cycle and thereby extended CO2 residence time in the atmosphere. IPCC (2007) wrote,</div>

“The fraction of anthropogenic CO2 that is taken up by the ocean declines with increasing CO2 concentration, due to reduced buffer capacity of the carbonate system.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The IPCC claims the outflow of CO2 from the atmosphere decreases with the level (concentration) of CO2 in the atmosphere, or</div>

Outflow = constant / Level (1)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
IPCC has inserted its claim into its climate models. IPCC’s Bern model is a curve-fit to the output of its climate models. The Bern model predicts 15 percent of human CO2 emissions remain in the atmosphere forever and 85 percent remains in the atmosphere much longer than IPCC’s natural residence time of 4 years.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
These invalid IPCC claims are the basis of ALL the hype that human emissions cause climate change. These IPCC claims have cost taxpayers and our economy about a trillion dollars. Plus, the climate alarmists have lowered the level of America’s education and intelligence.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 14C (that is an abbreviation of a carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 neutrons) data from the atomic bomb tests in the 1960’s contradicts the IPCC climate change theory and its claims. The 14C in the atmosphere is in the form of 14CO2 (that is an abbreviation of a CO2 molecule with a 14C carbon atom). The bomb tests increased the level of 14CO2 by over 80 percent.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
After the termination of the tests in 1963, the 14C level decreased smoothly toward its former equilibrium level of 100 percent. Specifically, the 14C level decreased by one-half its level above 100 percent every ten years from 1965 to 1995.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The following chart shows the 14C data and the half-life levels.<br />

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Here is a very simple model that reproduces how 14C decreased with time. It begins with the reliable continuity equation,</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
dL/dt = Inflow – Outflow (2)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
where</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
L = the level (concentration) of CO2 in the atmosphere</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
t = time in years</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then it adds the assumption that the outflow of 14CO2 equals the level divided by the 1/e residence time, Te, or</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Outflow = L / Te (3)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Equation (3) is the inverse of the IPCC claim shown in Eq. (1). Inserting Eq. (3) into Eq. (2) gives,</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
dL/dt = Inflow – L / Te (4)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To find Inflow, let dL/dt equal zero. Then L will equal its equilibrium level, Le, and Inflow becomes,</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Inflow = Le / Te (5)</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So, the final model equation is</div>

dL/dt = (Le – L) / Te (6)</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Equation (6) has the analytic solution,</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The 14CO2 molecules trace the same carbon path as the more abundant 12CO2 molecules, although 14CO2 will react slower than 12CO2 because it is heavier.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The simple model proves the IPCC is wrong.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Equations (6) and (7) exactly reproduce the 14C data. This proves 14CO2 molecules exit the atmosphere according to model Eq. (3) and not according to IPCC’s Eq. (1). So, the 14C data prove outflow is proportional to level and not proportional to the inverse of level as IPCC claims. Since the IPCC theory does not predict the 14C data, the IPCC theory of climate change is wrong.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Furthermore, the model proves human emissions have not reduced the “buffer capacity of the carbonate system” as the IPCC claims. IPCC’s Bern model is wrong. Therefore, IPCC climate models are wrong.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The level of atmospheric CO2 measured at Mauna Loa was 320 ppm in 1965 and 360 ppm in 1995. This increase in the level of CO2 did not affect the transfer of 14CO2 during that period.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The simple model shows CO2 in the atmosphere behaves like water in a lake.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Natural and human CO2 emissions change the level of CO2 in our atmosphere the same way a river that flows into a lake changes the level of the lake. If a river flows into a lake and lake water flows out over a dam, the river inflow simply raises the level of the lake until the outflow over the dam equals the inflow from the river. Then the lake level remains constant so long as inflow remains constant.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Similarly, natural and human CO2 emissions simply raise the level of CO2 in the atmosphere until CO2 outflow equals CO2 inflow. Then the level of CO2 in the atmosphere remains constant so long as inflow remains constant. Equation (6) proves that is the case.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The following figure illustrates what the simple model tells us. Inflow sets the equilibrium level of CO2 in the atmosphere, according to Eq. (5). The level sets the outflow, according to Eq. (3). And level moves toward its equilibrium level until outflow equals inflow, according to Eqs. (6) and (7). Then the level stays constant until inflow changes.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="232" src="https://edberry.com/wp-content/uploads/SystemFlowOp-665x232.gif" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px !important; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" width="665" /><br />
The simple model and the above figure apply to human and natural CO2 inflows both independently and in total. The inflows create their own equilibrium levels, which add together.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The simple model shows the ratio of human to natural equilibrium levels is equal to the ratio of their inflows. This means natural CO2 emissions cause 392 ppm of today’s CO2 level and human CO2 emissions cause only 18 ppm, for a total of 410 ppm today. If all human emissions were totally stopped and natural emissions remained constant, the level of CO2 in the atmosphere would fall by only 18 ppm in about 20 years.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Therefore, Eq. (6), supported by the 14C data, proves IPCC’s fundamental claim that human emissions have caused all the increase in CO2 since 1750, is wrong.</div>

Some scientists argue that the simple model cannot be accurate because it neglects chemical reactions outside the atmosphere. These scientists do not understand how to use systems.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The simple system for the atmosphere includes external effects through inflow and outflow. Think about it rationally. The only way an external process can affect the level of CO2 in the atmosphere is by affecting inflow or outflow. The model does not need to include the specifics of external processes. It only needs to include the ways external processes can change the level which is by inflow or outflow.</div>

In the philosophy of science, Occam’s Razor says the simplest explanation of anything is more likely to be the accurate explanation.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The simple model shows how inflow affects level, how level affects outflow, and how balance occurs when outflow equals inflow. Nothing in the world outside the atmosphere changes these conclusions. But these conclusions change entirely the dominant worldview of how human emissions change the level of CO2 in our atmosphere.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.7em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
IPCC’s claim that human emissions caused all the rise in atmospheric CO2 since 1750 is, without question, the most costly deception in the history of mankind. People think they can save the world if they can stop human emissions of CO2, but data and simple physics prove them wrong.</div>

Climate alarmists have money, critical government jobs, control of scientific organizations and journals, influential university positions, and well-funded environmental organizations.</div>

The truth will prevail … when we get money to support the dissemination of the truth.<br /><br />

We took in the film<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Farmlands</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>first. This was a bit overwrought even though the subject deserved it but was interesting in that it showed white ghettos and camps developing plus white and black only settlements which were offered as the solution to the racial disharmony in SA.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

I was a bit worried because we estimated there were only about 200 people in the large auditorium during the film. After the break however the auditorium filled up and we did a rough count of between 1900 - 2200 people. The audience was mainly young, a few weirdos with antennas sticking out of their collars but predominantly young and very interactive and supporting during the talks. Only one person was removed: a beta male who looked like Justin Beiber was thrown out; he looked very startled but my mate said he had an Antifa scarf around his scrawny neck.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

Molyneux kicked off the evening. He was dynamic, one of the best speakers I've seen. He was unscripted and paced the stage during his talk which lasted about an hour. His theme was based on a scathing critique of aboriginal culture, an oxymoron since they lived in bands. For Molyneux aboriginal culture was a dead end based as it was and still is on certainties. It was a culture which was not only barbaric, cruel but also did not tolerate any dissent or questioning which for Molyneux is the hallmark of a great society and why Western society is the best. Molyneux raised an interesting point as to why aboriginal culture was so stagnant: it killed off its best and brightest, those who would have questioned its primitive totemism. Aboriginals did not deviate from the spiritual certainty it was based on and remained dependant on nature. Molyneux was fiercely critical with the reverence for nature which underpins modern leftism and concluded by saying the support by leftism for aboriginal culture was because of those shared qualities of certainly, intolerance and nature.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

Molyneux was a hard act to follow but Miss Southern matched him. It is extraordinary that she is only 23. She is poised, intelligent and passionate. Like Molyneux, she is a fierce supporter of Western society and its Christian heritage. She based her talk on multiculturalism and how it is the agent of subverting Western society.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

Most readers here will be familiar with the arguments that multiculturalism is not about diversity but division and destroying the host culture and replacing it with other cultures so enclaving and balkanisation occurs within the host society. But to hear such a charismatic figure as Miss Southern espouse these obvious aspects of the mass immigration policies being pursued in so many Western nations was invigorating. She had many examples not least her confrontation with the wallopers in Lakemba. It's interesting that in the auditorium were about a dozen uniformed police who were nodding in agreement during her talk.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

Both Molyneux and Miss Southern spoke bluntly about the media and were obvious supporters of Trump. They both spoke about the role the MSM plays in suppressing free speech.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: #1f1f1f; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-size-adjust: auto;">

<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Dear Concerned Citizens of the World,
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Its not a good look for the Chief Scientist to make flippant comments
denigrating those who do not prescribe to his version of the science
re human caused global warming aka climate change. His comment
re ‘not having ones mind so open that their brains leak out’ directed at
Senator Roberts in the senate should be beneath a man in his
position. Further, for him to repeat it on the evening news for a cheap
laugh is insulting to those many decent, good, people who have
come to realise that HCGW is a politically driven scam.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">What is it that the Chief Scientist and our equally naive Minister for
Science do not understand re the hypothesis that <i><b>‘HCGW is a
politically driven scam orchestrated by the United Nations</b></i>’. I and
many others have provided them with the evidence supporting this
hypothesis repeatedly.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">Currently, I am working on an evidence based poster re last 120
years of temperature rise. I would like the Chief Scientist and
Minister for Science to objectively investigate this evidence.
</span></div>

</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 2">

<br />
<div class="page" title="Page 3">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I strongly request that the Chief Scientist and Minister for Science
also look at the posters here </span><span style="color: rgb(0.000000% , 41.176000% , 85.098000%); font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">bit.ly/p--p </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">and please click 'reply all’
when you respond. In closing the evidence that CAGW is a politically
driven global scam is robust. My promise to my country is not unlike
that of many others here and overseas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14.000000pt;">I will do my best as a
member of the Goodies Team to expose this scam and ensure that </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 14pt;">its perpetrators are held individually accountable, no matter how long
it takes. It is the only way to save ourselves from the evil agenda that
underpins this great crime against humanity.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;">Residents and emergency crews ramped up the tedious cleanup process Sunday in communities across tornado-damaged northern Illinois, piling pieces of shattered walls at the curb, finding medications buried in rubble and removing splintered tree limbs from farm fields.</span></blockquote>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 27px;">Several residents remained hospitalized with injuries from Thursday night's powerful storms, officials said, but most people in the communities from tiny Fairdale to Kirkland to subdivisions near Rochelle were able to continue to salvage personal belongings or haul debris from damaged property.</span></blockquote>
However, don't let the alarmists, the pushers of the falsified AGW hoax fool you. The Weather Channel reports: US tornado season has been quieter than ever. NBC News reports:<br />

The tornado count is 59 percent below average for the year-to-date, thanks mostly to the bitterly cold conditions that gripped the nation, keeping out the warm and moist Gulf Coast air needed to set off the spiraling winds.<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote>

"It's the flipside of the very cold winter we've just had," Weather Channel lead meteorologist Kevin Roth said. "The never-ending cold weather systems kept the southern air away for much longer than normal. What was bad news for some has been good news for others. It has been a really slow start to the tornado season."</blockquote>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">HOW DID MANY USUALLY SENSIBLE EXPERTS GET "GLOBAL WARMING" SO
VERY WRONG? VERY SIMPLE...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Oops! One wrong equation caused the climate scare<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">RED FACES all round among the profiteers of doom. A wrong equation
that falsely triples the tiny direct warming caused by doubling CO2
concentration has been discovered and exposed in a major peer-reviewed paper
just published in the Science Bulletin of the Chinese Academy of Sciences(<a href="http://o.b5z.net/i/u/10152887/f/Why_models_run_hot__results_from_an_irreducibly_simple_climate_model_2_.pdf">LINK - pdf</a>), one
of the world’s top learned journals. No rogue equation, no climate crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It says the amount by which climate scientists multiply the direct
warming from, say, CO2 to allow for “temperature feedbacks” – changes to the
climate because it has warmed that make it warm still further – is equal to the
reciprocal of 1 minus a third of the sum of all the feedbacks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">They say the feedbacks, measured in Watts per square meter of the Earth
per Celsius degree of direct warming, add up to 2. So the equation tells them
to multiply by 3. Just 1 Celsius degree of warming from doubling CO2 in the air
suddenly, wrongly becomes 3 degrees. A non-event becomes a crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">James Hansen – the former director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space
Studies (who once said anyone who questioned his math should be tried for “high
crimes against humanity”, for which the penalty is death) – had lifted the
rogue equation, the Bode system-gain relation, from a 551-page tome by R.W.
Bode about feedback amplification in electronic circuits, published 70 years
ago.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Hansen, and the tiny handful of other climate scientists who realized
the rogue equation came from electronic circuitry, had assumed it would work
for all kinds of dynamical systems from electronic circuits to the Earth’s
climate. But it doesn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It applies only to certain systems whose output (in a circuit, the
voltage) does not operate to bring the system back into balance after an
overload. But in the climate rising temperature restores the balance between
incoming and outgoing radiation. Warming acts against the feedbacks. It damps
them down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Also, in a circuit, when the feedbacks reach a threshold value the
current suddenly changes direction and goes around the circuit the other way. A
positive current instantaneously becomes a negative current. In process
engineers’ jargon, the current flicks from the positive to the negative rail.
But in the climate rising feedbacks cannot flick temperature down when they
were driving it up just before.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Why does this matter? Because it means the true warming from a doubling
of CO2 concentration is not 3 or 5 or 10 Celsius. All the scare stories have
been wrong from the get-go. Scientists came up with these exaggerated
predictions because, and only because, they were using the wrong equation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Take the misplaced equation out of your computer model – as the paper by
four leading researchers in the Science Bulletin demonstrates – and the climate
“crisis” melts away. And it’s the only thing that will melt away. Just three
months ago, the world had more sea ice than for 35 years. Also, despite record
increases in CO2 concentration, there has been no global warming for 18 years 3
months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Now we know why.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Not a single red cent need have been spent on making global warming go
away. But in Paris this December world leaders – unless they and their advisers
read the Science Bulletin – will approve a savage global-government treaty that
will give the unelected UN unprecedented powers to tax and regulate elected
governments in the name of Saving The Planet from Thermageddon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 9.2pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">And all because of one wrong equation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

You can’t keep Lew down and he has just co-authored a <a href="http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate2310.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: windowtext;">paper</span></a> proving the temperature is rising. Lew’s idea is that statements about the temperature pause, including by the IPCC, simply don’t take into account natural variation which in a cooling phase will suppress the AGW warming.<o:p></o:p></div>

Cohenite looked at the idea in <a href="http://jennifermarohasy.com/2008/10/temperature-trends-and-carbon-dioxide-a-note-from-cohenite/" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: windowtext;">2008</span></a>. Basically the technique is detrend for all natural factors by removing the estimate of their temperature effect and what is left should be the <i>pure</i> AGW signal.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;">Lots of people have done this; the original paper was </span><a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v453/n7191/full/nature06921.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;">Keenlyside et al</span></a><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;"> in 2008. </span><a href="http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/csi/images/GRL2009_ClimateWarming.pdf" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;">Easterling and Wehner in 2009</span></a><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;"> extended this concept to the usual grotesque AGW exaggeration. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;">The previous Keenlyside et al effort predicted masking of underlying AGW due to SST driven natural variation. Unfortunately, when the ENSO is removed from temperature trends there is no post 2000 underlying AGW. Easterling and Wehner revisit this trainwreck of an idea to prove that future cooling will still have underlying AGW. Their null hypothesis [NH] really settles the matter. The NH is that there will be an “equal percentage of statistically significant positive and negative trends” [p6]. This is high order virtual reality; the concept of the 100 year flood explains why. Pacific Decadal Oscillation [PDO] climate phases have greater probability of floods during a negative phase during which time [about 30 years] there may be several 1 in 100 year floods. During the positive, El Nino dominated PDO phase there will most likely be no 1 in 100 year flood.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 22px;">The same principle applies to temperature. Positive PDOs will have increasing temperature trends and vice-versa for negative PDOs. The paper doesn’t consider ENSO at all apart from an admission that it is not modelled well [p6]. Table 1 shows more positive temperature trends in the 20thC. This was due to positive PDO dominance not, as the paper claims, AGW.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

The recent definitive paper on this idea by <a href="http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/6/4/044022" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">Foster and Rahmstrof</a> in 2011 supposedly extracted a <i>pure</i> AGW signal after removing all natural factors. F and R are a lot of fun.<span lang="EN-US">They removed all the natural factors that may have contributed to temperature increase and were left with a range of 0.014 to 0.018 K yr</span><sup><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 8pt; line-height: 16.000001907348633px;">−1 </span></sup><span lang="EN-US">as the <i>pure</i> AGW forcing. They calculated a rate which was constant from 1979. This should have set the alarm bells ringing for a start since CO2 was increasing exponentially during this period; if the dominant forcing factor was increasing the AGW temperature effect should also have been increasing. But it seems that their methodology was also flawed. By including a linear trend for warming in their analysis as an independent variable, Foster and Rahmstorf have demonstrated that global warming is well correlated with global warming. Furthermore </span><a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/02/tisdale-takes-on-taminos-foster-rahmstorf-2011/" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span lang="EN-US">Bob Tisdale shows</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> Forster and Ramstorf were wrong to consider ENSO as an exogenous factor and to exclude it from their analysis.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<i><span lang="EN">Some studies and the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report suggest that the recent 15-year period (1998–2012) provides evidence that models are overestimating current temperature evolution. Such comparisons are not evidence against model trends because they represent only one realization where the decadal natural variability component of the model climate is generally not in phase with observations. We present a more appropriate test of models where only those models with natural variability (represented by El Niño/Southern Oscillation) largely in phase with observations are selected from multi-model ensembles for comparison with observations. These tests show that climate models have provided good estimates of 15-year trends, including for recent periods and for Pacific spatial trend patterns.</span></i></blockquote>

Credit where credit is due. This is smart. Lew doesn’t remove natural variation he selects models which have natural variation in phase with AGW. AGW is now proved because there is temperature increase when you factor in natural variation.<o:p></o:p></div>

That is AGW is only to be shown when the world is heating through a warm natural phase as shown in the red lines? Is this because natural variation in the cool phase eliminates any AGW signal as shown in the blue lines? And surely in the warm phases of natural variation wouldn’t the warming be especially high if AGW and natural variation are working together?<o:p></o:p></div>

A real scientific paper about Ocean Heat Content [OHC] has just been published by leading oceanographic experts <a href="http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/JPO-D-13-096.1" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">Wunsch and Heimbach</a>.

A sceptical journalist can easily research the validity of these three "peer reviewed" papers. Taking the last first, google search result for "cook 97 consensus" leads with three rebuttals of the paper. Lord Monckton reviewed the paper and found <a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/cook-wrong-on-consensus-monckton_1.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 58.26667022705078px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;">0.3% CONSENSUS, </span><span style="color: windowtext; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 58.26667022705078px; text-align: center; text-transform: uppercase;">NOT 97.1%</span></a></div>

Two down and one to go:<br /><br /><b>Doran and Zimmerman:</b><br /><br />A google search of "Doran and Zimmerman" finds the word "flawed" arising frequently. One such result is the paper by Murray Goot of Macquarie University as part of the Garnault Review.

Criticism of the paper has focused on the second of the two findings, the claim that ‘97% of climate scientists’ agree that the planet is experiencing anthropogenic climate change; specifically, the criticisms have focused on the nature of the sample, the number of respondents in the sample regarded as most expert in 3 the area, and especially on the wording of the questions. The first of the two findings that showed 90% agreeing that ‘compared with pre-1800s levels’ the ‘mean global temperatures have generally risen’ rather than ‘fallen, or remained relatively constant’ is relatively<br />uncontroversial; protagonists on both sides of the debate on anthropogenic global warming can readily agree to that.</blockquote>
Although response to the first question was 3,146, the second question received only 79 responses - 77 agreed to the question:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
According to one critic the question ‘Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?’ is a question to which ‘most climate scientists’ would say yes ‘even if they aren't concerned about future climate change’. On this view, the question was deficient at every turn. </blockquote>

Headlines from around the world are noting the Abbott Government's win in reversing the useless economy destroying carbon dioxide tax; some looking on with praise but more with disdain, eg<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
Today's reversal of our carbon laws represents a tragedy for our politics, a travesty for public policy and a train wreck for climate action.

The simple facts are that<br /><ul style="line-height: 1.4; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0.5em 0px; padding: 0px 2.5em;">
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">there has been no global warming for 18 years; (<a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/twelve-urban-myths-of-climate-change.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">link</a>)</li>
<li style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0.25em; padding: 0px;">the man-made global warming (AGW) hypothesis has been falsified. (<a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/man-made-global-warming-falsified.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">link</a>)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Even so, the Abbott Government still pays obeisance to the AGW hoax. There are true believers of AGW in Abbott's front bench, the Minister for the Environment Greg Hunt included.<br /><br />Note that Mr Hunt doesn't correct ABC's Tony Jones who erroneously says carbon pollution when talking of carbon dioxide emissions<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border: 0px; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>TONY JONES:</strong>Okay. Let's move on. With no carbon price in place from today and no Direct Action policy, is any company in Australia now free to put as much carbon pollution into the atmosphere as they wish, with no penalty or any way of stopping them?<span style="background-color: transparent;"> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border: 0px; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 10px !important; margin-top: 10px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<strong>GREG HUNT:</strong>Well, of course, under Labor's carbon tax there was no constraint on individual companies. They could simply pay to pollute. And, of course, the biggest problem with the carbon tax was that meant that the power companies could simply put out as many emissions as they want and pass on the cost to consumers.</blockquote>
<br />Mr Hunt has budgeted for $2.55 Billion for an emissions reduction scheme. (<a href="http://www.environment.gov.au/minister/hunt/2014/mr20140513.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">link</a>)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Many say that PM Abbott does not believe in the hoax, but this week, after the carbon dioxide tax reversal he was quoted as saying: (<a href="http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/carbon-tax-is-gone-repeal-bills-pass-the-senate-20140717-3c2he.html#ixzz37sV8cuTa" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">link</a>)<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="line-height: 17.02400016784668px;"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"So we are a conservationist government and we will do what we think is the sensible thing to try to bring emissions down."</span></span></blockquote>
As Viv Forbes wrote in the post Death by Delay: (<a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/death-by-delay.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;">link)</a><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: 14.545454025268555px; line-height: 18.899999618530273px;">Unfortunately, the job is not nearly over. We still have the Green Energy subsidies and targets, far too many bureaucracies still white-anting away, too much being spent on climate-fests, global warming research, climate bureaucracies, Kyoto carbon credit forests and the silly “Direct Action” still breathes. Flannery and Gore will never give up, the Green/ALP coalition waits its chance, much of the media will maintain the rage . . . etc</span></blockquote>
<br />So beware, all ye who celebrate the tax reversal win, it is but a small battle win in the war against the AGW hoax.</div>

Moreover, on July 17th the sunspot number fell all the way to zero. We call it "the All Quiet Event."</div>

<span class="s5"><i><br /></i></span>There was a time, before the baby-boom generation took over, when we took pride in the achievements of our builders, producers and innovators. There was always great celebration when settler families got a phone, a tractor, a bitumen road or electric power. An oil strike or a gold discovery made headlines, and people welcomed new businesses, new railways and new inventions. Science and engineering were revered and the wealth delivered by these human achievements enabled the builders and their children to live more rewarding lives, with more leisure, more time for culture and crusades, and greater interest in taking more care of their environment.<br /><br />Then a green snake entered the Garden of Eden.<br /><br />Many of the genuine conservationists from the original environmental societies were replaced by political extremists who felt lost after the Comrade Societies collapsed and China joined the trading world.<br /><br />These zealots were mainly interested in promoting environmental alarms in order to push a consistent agenda of world control of production, distribution and exchange – a new global utopia run by unelected all-knowing people just like them.<br /><br />Michael Gorbachev is a prominent example. Consistent open and covert support came from Hollywood, government media organisations and the bureaucracy.<br /><br />The old Reds became the new Greens.<br /><br />The new Greens used every credible-sounding scare to recruit support – peak resources, acid rain, ozone holes, global cooling, species extinction, food security, Barrier Reef threats, global warming or extreme weather to justify global controls, no-go areas and international taxes to limit all human activities. Each cause spawned its dedicated bunch of activists.<br /><br />However the public became disenchanted with their politics of denial, and their opposition to all human progress, so they have adopted a new tactic – death by delay.<br /><br />“We are not opposed to all development, but we want to ensure all environmental concerns are fully investigated before new developments get approval.”<br /><br />In fact, their goal is to kill projects with costly regulations, investigations and delay. Their technique is to grab control of bureaucratic bodies like the US EPA which, since 2009, has issued 2,827 new regulations totalling 24,915,000 words.<br /><br />A current example of death by delay is the Keystone Oil pipeline proposal which would have taken crude oil from Alberta in Canada to refineries on the US Gulf Coast – far better than sending it by rail tankers.<br /><br />It was first proposed in 2005, and immediately opposed by the anti-industry, anti-carbon zealots who control the EPA and other arms of the US federal government.<br /><br />The proposal was studied to death by US officials and green busybodies for nine long years.<br /><br />This week the Canadians lost patience and approved an alternative proposal to take a pipeline to the west coast of Canada, allowing more Albertan oil to be exported to Asia.<br /><br />Jobs and resources that would have benefitted Americans will now go to Asia.<br /><br />Naturally the Green delayers will also attempt to throttle this proposal.<br /><br />Over in Europe, shale gas exploration is also being subject to death by delay. In Britain, the pioneering company, Caudrilla, has been waiting for seven long years for approvals to explore. In France, all such exploration is banned.<br /><br />Greens also attempted to perpetually delay all development on aboriginal land in Cape York using a new weapon – “Wild Rivers Declarations”. These declarations were recently struck down by the Australian Federal Court. Warren Mundine, Executive Chairman of the Australian Indigenous Chamber of Commerce, was moved to say:</div>

<br />But nobody else noticed anything scary.<br /><br />Four pieces of well-established evidence say that 400 ppm of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is not a concern.<br /><br />Firstly, there has been no increase in global temperatures since 1998 despite 16 years of rising carbon dioxide levels and heavy usage of carbon fuels. Clearly, <span class="s16">CO</span><span class="s17"><sub>2</sub></span>is not the main driver of global temperatures.<br /><br />Secondly, the ice core records show clearly, with no exceptions, that all recent ice ages have commenced when the atmosphere contained relatively high levels of carbon dioxide. The temperature fell first, and then carbon dioxide levels fell. This proves that high carbon dioxide levels do not guarantee a warm globe, but could suggest that they<span class="s11"> </span>may be a harbinger of a coming ice age. Ice will cause far more damage to the biosphere than even the worst warming forecast.<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p3">
<span style="font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 1.4;">Thirdly, current levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are not extreme or unusual. Carbon dioxide reached 2,000 ppm in the luxuriant </span>era of the dinosaurs, and ten times current levels (4,000 ppm) when the great Devonian coral reefs were flourishing. There is no tipping point into runaway global warming, or we would have tipped eons ago.<br /><br />Finally, current carbon dioxide levels are just above starvation levels for plants. All vegetation would grow stronger, faster, and be more drought resistant and heat resistant if carbon dioxide levels trebled to 1,200 ppm. Such levels are no threat to humans – US submarines operate at up to 8,000 ppm for cruises of 90 days. Topping 400 ppm should be a cause for celebration – it shows that Earth is emerging from the cold hungry years of the ice ages.<br /><br />Climate Cassandras have blown false trumpets once again.<br /><br /><span class="s5">Viv Forbes 9/7/2014</span><span class="s16"><b><i><br /></i></b></span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="s5"><b><i>For those who wish to read more:</i></b></span><span class="s16"><b><i><br /></i></b></span><span class="s5"><i>400 ppm is just a big yawn:</i></span><span class="s16"><b><i><br /></i></b><a href="http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/05/14/co2-nears-400-ppm-relax-its-not-global-warming-end-times-but-only-a-big-yawn-climate-depot-special-report/" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s4"><i>http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/05/14/co2-nears-400-ppm-relax-its-not-global-warming-end-times-but-only-a-big-yawn-climate-depot-special-report/</i></span></a></span></span><span class="s5"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i><br /><br />Past Climates and carbon dioxide levels:</i><a href="http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Carboniferous_climate.html</i></span></a><i><br /><br />Nothing new about Climate Change:</i><a href="http://carbon-sense.com/2013/11/30/nothing-new-about-climate-change/" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://carbon-sense.com/2013/11/30/nothing-new-about-climate-change/</i></span></a><i><br /><br />Current warming is just recovery from the Little Ice Age:</i><a href="http://vimeo.com/14366077" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://vimeo.com/14366077</i></span></a><i><br /><br />Carbon dioxide lags not leads global temperatures:</i><a href="http://www.co2science.org/articles/V6/N26/EDIT.php" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://www.co2science.org/articles/V6/N26/EDIT.php</i></span></a><i><br /><br />Home truths about carbon dioxide in the atmosphere:</i><a href="http://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/06/the-truth-about-greenhouse-gases" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://www.firstthings.com/article/2011/06/the-truth-about-greenhouse-gases</i></span></a><i><br /><br />Carbon Dioxide feeds the world:</i><a href="http://carbon-sense.com/2010/04/15/carbon-dioxide-time-lapse/" style="color: #771100; text-decoration: none;"><span class="s13"><i>http://carbon-sense.com/2010/04/15/carbon-dioxide-time-lapse/</i></span></a></span><i><br /></i></span><br /><br /><span class="s9"><b><i><span style="color: #990000; font-size: medium;">So Much for the Consensus – just 20% believe “the debate is over”.</span></i></b></span><span class="s5"><i><br /><br />The Rasmussen polls in US reveal that:</i></span></div>

And Dr Allen has written a very readable and well documented book examining every chapter of it. He says:<br /><br /> “From cover to cover, Tim Flannery’s message is that <i>‘we are now the weather makers’</i>. Move over sun, moon, stars, planets, Earth’s mighty oceans, mountains and volcanoes – almighty man now rules the weather! In the context of known geological and cosmic climatic forces, such an anthropocentric focus is almost pre-Copernican.”<br /><br />Dr Allen puts every chapter of Tim Flannery’s thesis on global warming alarmism under the spotlight of the most up-to-date scientific realism - in climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide, the reliability of the temperature records, sea levels, glaciers, the true state of the Arctic, Antarctic, Greenland, the Great Barrier Reef, extreme weather events, acidification of the oceans, oscillating Atlantic and Pacific currents and much more.<br /><br /><i>The Weather Makers</i> is shown to contain 23 misinterpretations, 28 contradictory statements, 31 untraceable or suspect sources, 45 failures to reflect uncertainty, 66 over-simplifications or factual errors, 78 exaggerations and over a hundred unsupported dogmatic statements, many of them quite outlandish.<br /><br />I read this book from cover to cover and learnt a lot from it. I commend it.

It is said that victory has a thousand parents, but defeat is an orphan.<br /><br />So there will be many claiming credit for abolishing the carbon tax. Tony Abbott deserves much credit, supported by people like Dennis Jensen, George Christensen, Barnaby Joyce, Ron Boswell, Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones, Alan Moran and the bloggers. Providing scientific support, Australians like Ray Evans, Bob Carter, Ian Plimer, Jo Nova, David Evans, Bill Kininmonth, David Archibald and Cliff Ollier stand tall. (This list omits very many other deserving people who played their part, and are entitled to claim credit. Apologies to them in advance.)<br /><br />Unfortunately, the job is not nearly over. We still have the Green Energy subsidies and targets, far too many bureaucracies still white-anting away, too much being spent on climate-fests, global warming research, climate bureaucracies, Kyoto carbon credit forests and the silly “Direct Action” still breathes.

I have <a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/ocean-heat-content-another-simple.html">previously
written</a> about the fact that the heat in the ocean isn’t there. A Facebook
commentator produced some excellent graphs based on the ARGO data which showed
NO heat accumulation at any level in the world’s oceans. This lack of warming <a href="http://theclimatescepticsparty.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/england-passes-wind-and-discovers-heat.html">contradicts
completely</a> (Anthropogenic Global Warming) AGW theory as put forward by such AGW stalwarts as Trenberth and
England. It also has <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-05-02/cox2c-stockwell---honest-jim3a-the-science-is-not-settled/1031292">Hansen</a>

Well to me the trend slope in the joules graph looks steeper
and more alarming than the temperature graph. But Rob doesn’t like OHC as a
measure of the energy; it is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">poor
terminology</i> according to Rob. Hey Rob, don’t blame me, argue with NODC and
indeed AGW in general; they’re the ones using and relying on it.<o:p></o:p></div>

Secondly the ARGO data, even though it is the best we have
ever had, is vastly insufficient. <a href="http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/02/06/where-in-the-world-is-argo/#more-56032">Willis

<ul>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 18pt;">The sampling of the oceans is by no means
as uniform as I had expected. Part of the ocean is under sampled, sometimes
badly so, compared to other areas. Half of the global ocean has been sampled
less than 20 times per 10,000 sq. km, and 14% has never been sampled by Argo
floats at all.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 18pt;">Even when we look at just the area from
60°N/S, half the ocean has been sampled less than 24 times per 10,000 sq. km,
and 8% is unsampled.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 18pt;"> The area of the El Nino phenomenon is a
critical area for the regulation of planetary heat loss. Oceanic heat content
in this area can change quite rapidly. However, parts of it are woefully
undersampled.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; line-height: 18pt;">Finally, the older Argo floats sample
either down to 1,000 metres, and intermittently go to 1,500 metres depth. The
newer ones go down to 1800 metres. Which is quite deep, about a mile down. But
the estimates of oceanic heat storage include the whole ocean. Figure 3 shows a
pair of transects from Antarctica (on the left) to Hawaii, and then Hawaii to
Alaska on the right, to give some sense of scale.</span></li>

source.) North/South Pacific transect at 150°W. ORIGINAL CAPTION:
Vertical section of potential temperature (°C) along 150°W from data collected
in 1991-1993 as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment. Data north of
Hawaii were collected in 1984 (Talley et al., 1991). Potential temperature is
the temperature a parcel of water would have if moved to the sea surface with
no change in heat content, and is lower than measured temperature since
temperature increases when water is compressed due to the high pressure in the
ocean. </span></em><a href="http://sam.ucsd.edu/papers/talley_tropical_pacific.html"><i><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Source</span></i></a><em><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;"> and </span></em><a href="http://sam.ucsd.edu/junk/Fig10_p16theta.gif"><i><span lang="EN" style="font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN;">Image</span></i></a></blockquote>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The Argo floats operate mostly in the
warmer area up top of Figure 3, above the lower thermocline (light blue).
Average depth in this entire transect is much deeper than that, about 5,000
metres. So the Argo floats are measuring less than a quarter of the water in
this part of the Pacific basin. Makes the whole question of oceanic heat
content kinda iffy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Kinda iffy</i> is a
vast understatement! The ARGO floats don’t even go to 2000 meters and yet we
have temperature profiles at that depth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only reasonable conclusion is that based on the best
data from ARGO the oceans are not warming, whether you are considering joules
or temperature.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>Leader Malcolm Turnbull</b>, with or without his connections to his previous partners -carbon credit traders Goldman Sachs, was for the AGW hoax, was pro carbon tax. At that stage, Tony Abbott disagreed with his leader:</div>

Whether Abbott's presumed new position was a political stance or not doesn't really matter as he still maintained Renewable Energy Targets, still talked of carbon abatement and he appointed the warmist Greg Hunt as Minister for the environment.</div>

Before the 2013 Election, Clive Palmer said he was for the repeal of the carbon tax, however he changes his position more times than a baby changes nappies and for the same reason.</div>

Clive's new amendment had to be generated from the Lower House and the Reps won’t sit until next week. Oh dear, what a balls up.<br />
Clive immediately went into Clive mode claiming the Government had, “pulled a swifty”. Of course the Government hadn’t pulled any bloody thing, it was Clive doing all the pulling and it wasn’t just swifties. </blockquote>

He clearly hadn’t realised what he’d done. Nor did the Press (well, you can understand the Press gallery not understanding anything). </blockquote>

The <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>NO CARBON TAX Climate Sceptics</b></span> have constantly opposed any form of tax but have had their political success thwarted by false promises and changes of position.</div>

In 2009, NCTCS (although not approved as a party by the AEC) contested two by election. The Pro-Carbon Tax Malcolm Turnbull had just been replaced by Tony Abbott and many of our supporters returned their vote to the LNP Coalition.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 1.4;">

By the time of the 2010 Election, it seemed unnecessary for voters to support NCTCS because both major parties were saying "NO CARBON TAX."</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.199999809265137px; line-height: 1.4;">

Again at the 2013 Election both major parties were saying "NO CARBON TAX."</div>

If only the voters hadn't been sold a PUP, perhaps NCTCS could have swayed Australia away from the fraud of the man made Global Warming Hoax.</div>
