Alan Caruba excoriates recent “warmist” climate change scare mongering as they seek to take advantage of current drought conditions in a large section of the US.
The compelling article is available in its entirety at his blog Warning Signs available here.
Responding to a recent PBS television report featuring Dr. James Hansen, the Svengali of environmental extremists, Caruba points out that “Noted meteorologist, Anthony Watts, whose website, WattsUpWithThat, is a treasure trove of real climate science, dismissed Hansen’s PBS presentation of bell curve charts claiming the current drought conditions as proof of global warming. “This bell curve proves nothing,” said Watts. “This is nothing but a political ploy from a man who has abandoned any pretext of professionally done science in favor of activism.” Watts’ research has demonstrated how corrupt many of the temperature findings have been due to the sites where thermometers have been placed as well as the many places on Earth where there are none.”
Caruba also quotes Steven Goddard, (writing in the August 6th edition of Real Science) “There were twice as many daily all-time high temperature records set or tied during the 1930s as in the 2000s, . . . That is why he (Hansen) doesn’t start his baseline (for the charts he showed in the PBS program) until the 1950s.”
Caruba concludes: “There ought to be a chart concerning how global warming lies rise and fall with each climate event like a drought or each new revelation of scientific fact that disputes and debunks the hoax.“
