England May Have Problems Keeping The Lights On

By William Teach October 12, 2014 – 4:22 pm

Why? Because of the idiotic “climate change” policies

(UK Express and Star)  Increasing the reliance on renewable energy sources such as windfarms while cutting carbon emissions is a “flawed” plan, Owen Paterson will say in a speech next week.

According to The Sunday Telegraph, the Conservative MP will also call for the 2007 Climate Change Act that requires Britain to reduce fossil fuels use to be suspended until other countries sign up to similar restrictions.

Mr Paterson, who was sacked in the summer reshuffle, wants a series of small nuclear power stations created to meet domestic power demands.

“Blind adhesion to the 2050 targets will not reduce emissions and will fail to keep the lights on,” he will say. “The current energy policy is a slave to flawed climate action.

“It will cost £1,100 billion, fail to meet the very emissions targets it is designed to meet, and will not provide the UK’s energy requirements.

One day mankind will surely be able to replace energy sources like coal with other, cleaner methods. Today is not this this day. Nor next year. Possibly not even within the next 50-100 years, without a major breakthrough in power density capture. Meanwhile, the policies of Warmists cause prices to rise and energy needs to be left wanting, as has happened over the past 5 out of 6 brutal winters in Europe. Oh, and the last two years without a spring.

But, Warmists do not care about the results of their policy shenanigans: they only care about the policies themselves.

The blog of the day is Raised On Hoecakes, with an interesting quiz.

This week is dedicated to the return of the NHL (and my Devils have started off 2-0 on the road, scoring 11 goals in those games). Hence the Devils Ice girls. Also, I’ll give a shout out to Jammie Wearing Fool, who’s an Evil Rangers Fan.

As always, the full set of pinups can be seen in the Patriotic Pinup category, or over at my Gallery page. While we are on pinups, since it is that time of year, have you gotten your “Pinups for Vets” calendar yet? And don’t forget to check out what I declare to be our War on Women Rule 5 and linky luv posts and things that interest me

Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list. (BTW, since someone asked, the reason I leave links for the previous week up (or you might see a *) is because they are place holders for later in the day or for next weeks. Easier than rewriting all the time. Also, the listing order has to do with how they are added over time, not how good a post is. I just copy and paste from the previous week, then edit. If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.

Bummer: NOAA Demolishes Warmist Meme Of Anthropogenic Extreme Weather

By William Teach October 12, 2014 – 8:02 am

Warmists love to blame every single weather occurrence, big or small, on “climate change”. To be clear, when they say “climate change”, they’re referring to the notion that all weather changes and a slight (1.4F) increase in global temperatures in 160 years are caused mostly/solely by Mankind. As for 2013, NOAA says “nope. You guys are nuts”

(Forbes) Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have demolished claims by global warming activists that global warming caused or worsened many extreme weather events last year.

According to NOAA’s new publication, Explaining Extremes of 2013 from a Climate Perspective, there is no discernible connection between global warming and 2013 extreme weather events such as the California drought, Colorado floods, the UK’s exceptionally cold spring, a South Dakota blizzard, Central Europe floods, a northwestern Europe cyclone, and exceptional snowfall in Europe’s Pyrenees Mountains.

The California drought provides a good example of global warming activists making false and irresponsible claims regarding global warming to deliberately mislead people who aren’t familiar with scientific studies and evidence. The liberal Center for American Progress and its media allies such as the Washington Post, San Jose Mercury News, Associated Press, and others have all published stories claiming global warming caused or worsened the ongoing California drought. Scientists, however, say just the opposite. “[F]or the California drought, which was investigated by three teams from the United States, human factors were found not to have influenced the lack of rainfall,” NOAA reported in an accompanying press release.

The report further goes on to explain that cold spring in the UK of 2013 had nothing to do with “climate change”. Remember, Warmists now like to blame cold weather on “climate change”, you know, because Someone Else drove fossil fueled vehicles.

And the Colorado floods in September 2013? Nope, no human fingerprint.

Adding additional emphasis to the NOAA publication’s findings, scientists reported in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that natural factors such as ocean current cycles and varying wind patterns caused most of the warming along the U.S. West Coast since 1900.

One of the many problems with the Cult Of Hotcoldwetdry is that they’ve over-reached with their cult. They like to blame and/or link everything to “climate change”, from heat waves to massive blizzards. They’ve created this fantasy world where slight increases in carbon dioxide, what they refer to as “carbon pollution”, has caused all this, and is dooming Mankind (many Warmists want significant human population reduction), life on land and in the seas, and the Earth itself. It’s quite apparent that this is more about politics, creating a fully Progressive government and society, not science.

Of course, we all know that Warmists will find a way to deny this NASA report.

Say, Could “Climate Change” Mean the End of the Seasons?

By William Teach October 11, 2014 – 5:49 pm

Today’s hyper-alarmist,  bat guano insane blather from the cult of Hotcoldwetdry

(Nature World News) As climate change causes winters to warm, the world becomes more and more like a tropical paradise, possibly meaning the end of the seasons as we know them, according to new research.

The daily and nightly differences in temperatures worldwide are fast approaching yearly differences between summer and winter temperatures, which could wreak havoc on the global ecology by potentially affect crops, insects, malaria transmission, and even confuse migration patterns of birds and mammals worldwide.

New California Law Requires Doctors To Undergo LGBT Re-education

By William Teach October 11, 2014 – 7:03 am

As if there weren’t enough problems in California thanks to Obamacare, what with doctors retiring early, moving to other states, refusing to participate in the Ocare exchange, refusing to take new Medicare/Medicaid patients, the California government seems determined to drive doctors out

(Breitbart) Gov. Jerry Brown just signed a law requiring that California health care providers be trained to better understand the specific health needs of the LGBT community.

The law is meant to target inequities in medical treatment for LGBT patients who, according to the San Francisco Examiner, suffer from a lack of provider understanding of gay and transgendered health issues.

Assemblyman Richard Gordon, D-Menlo Park, who authored the original bill AB 496, contends that LGBT patients have a variety of negative experiences with doctors and other healthcare professionals.

Lesbian couples complain that they have difficulty finding OB-GYN doctors willing to counsel them with in vitro fertilization options. Gordon adds that gays and lesbians criticize hospital staff for not treating them with respect while visiting their hospitalized life partners.

Sensitivity training is just another word for “thought control”. The LGBT community constantly tells us that they are just like everyone else. If that’s the case, why do they need extra stuff?

Antarctic Sea Ice Sees Record Growth, Cause Climate Change

By William Teach October 11, 2014 – 6:49 am

This is not the first time “climate scientists” and a compliant media attempted to Blamestorm the growth of Antarctic sea ice on Hotcoldwetdry, and probably won’t be the last.

Antarctic sea ice shows record growth, climate change likely cause
The growth of sea ice is not evidence against the effects of climate change, but rather the consequence of it.

Antarctic sea ice is seeing a rapid period of growth this year, but that doesn’t mean the Poles are safe from climate change, says NASA.

NASA reported the ice measurements to be at 7.78 million square miles (20.14 million square kilometers), a day after it exceeded the extent of 20 million square kilometers (7.72 million square miles).

“The planet as a whole is doing what was expected in terms of warming. Sea ice as a whole is decreasing as expected, but just like with global warming, not every location with sea ice will have a downward trend in ice extent,” said Claire Parkinson of NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.

The growth of sea ice is not evidence against the effects of climate change but rather the consequence of it. This could be the result of the rapid melting of land ice which sends fresh water into the ocean making it freeze at higher decision. It could also be the result of changing wind patterns and other external factors.

Remember when all the “climate scientists” told us that global warming/climate change would cause Antarctic sea ice to increase? And, if the ice starts to decrease, this will be Blamed on climate change, as well. Because this is a cult, and everything validates their Beliefs.

Best comment

I heard that if nothing is doing as predicted, we’re to shut up because science.

Exactly. Because you’re anti-science if you dare question the reality of what’s occuring, and you’re nasty if you mention that Warmists rarely practice what they preach.
