    Since former Vice President Al Gore took up the cause celeb of global warming, the entire science has been corrupted by political agendas. Now, there is a case of outright misleading the public.

    NASA does fine work and there are fine people working for NASA. Some have even gone on record disparaging both Hansen and his publicity-seeking methods. In an article Science, Ignorance is not Bliss (Launch magazine, July/August 2008) former astronaut Walter Cunningham delivered a blistering denunciation of Hansen for fostering the “current hysteria” of climate alarmists by misusing NASA data. Cunningham states, “NASA should be at the forefront in the collection of scientific evidence and debunking the current hysteria over human-caused, or anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW).” Nor is Cunningham happy at what Hansen is doing for NASA’s reputation as a serious player in scientific research. He says of NASA, “Unfortunately, it is becoming just another agency caught up in the politics of global warming, or worse, politicized science. Advocacy is replacing objective evaluation data, while scientific data is being ignored in favor of emotions and politics.”

    And, for good measure, Cunningham reminds us of yet another Hansen blunder. “After warning 2007 would be the hottest year on record,” says Cunningham, “what we experienced was the coolest since 2001.” Lamenting that the GW debate had deteriorated into a “religious war” between “true believers and non-believers” Cunningham astutely observes about those who follow Hansen’s logic, “it is impossible to reason a person out of positions they have not been reasoned into.”  Cunningham states Hansen is “a political activist who spreads fear even when NASA’s own data contradicts him.”  To drive home his point that Hansen is circumventing the real science, Cunningham highlights that, “warming in the upper atmosphere should occur before any surface warming effect, but NASA’s own data show that has not been happening.” Cunningham goes on to note how when Hansen’s boss, Michael Griffin, “a distinguished scientist in his own right, attempted to draw a distinction between Hansen’s personal and political views and the science conducted by his agency” he was “forced to back off”.

    Exit Question: Why is a politically driven climate alarmist allowed to continue spewing his nonsense from a government paid postion?

    The entire Al Gore and Global Warming Saga will be subjugated by the economic facts that more capricious government regulation on speculative scientific facts will lead to further USA business distress.

    Whoa and now there is evidence that the earth is on the brink of another Ice Age.

    The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.

    Ice cores, ocean sediment cores, the geologic record, and studies of ancient plant and animal populations all demonstrate a regular cyclic pattern of Ice Age glacial maximums which each last about 100,000 years, separated by intervening warm interglacials, each lasting about 12,000 years.

    Most of the long-term climate data collected from various sources also shows a strong correlation with the three astronomical cycles which are together known as the Milankovich cycles. The three Milankovich cycles include the tilt of the earth, which varies over a 41,000 year period; the shape of the earth’s orbit, which changes over a period of 100,000 years; and the Precession of the Equinoxes, also known as the earth’s ‘wobble’, which gradually rotates the direction of the earth’s axis over a period of 26,000 years. According to the Milankovich theory of Ice Age causation, these three astronomical cycles, each of which effects the amount of solar radiation which reaches the earth, act together to produce the cycle of cold Ice Age maximums and warm interglacials.

    But, wait, Al Gore won an Academy Award for his movie on global warming. It has to be true.

    Back to science folks and open scientific debateamong real experts.

    Get the politicians and Hollywood Stars out of the equation

    Tax Those Air-Polluting Smelly Cows And Hogs

    cows

    Air district says bovines on the region’s booming dairy farms are the biggest single source of smog-forming gases

    Really, who comes up with this stuff?

    For farmers, this stinks: Belching and gaseous cows and hogs could start costing them money if a federal proposal to charge fees for air-polluting animals becomes law.

    Farmers so far are turning their noses up at the notion, which is one of several put forward by the Environmental Protection Agency after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that greenhouse gases emitted by belching and flatulence amounts to air pollution.

    “This is one of the most ridiculous things the federal government has tried to do,” said Alabama Agriculture Commissioner Ron Sparks, an outspoken opponent of the proposal.

    But, they did something similar in California. And, now, Mary Nichols, chair of the California Air Resources Board is now being considered by President-elect Obama to be administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.

    Gas-X for cows to avoid taxation?

    Harry Reid Watch: Coal and Oil Make US Sick

    Democrat Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) proclaims that “coal makes us sick and oil makes us sick…”

    Harry Reid who last year proclaimed that the Iraq War was lost now says that coal and oil make us sick.

    So, what do you propose Senator lay off all of the coal and oil industry workers and do what?

    Nuclear power?

    No, you are against that too.

    Back to the horse and buggy, and candles I presume……
