Bleedin' Bodge-up Company

Read this quote from the BBC's website on Climate Change:

"The climate of the Earth is always changing. In the past it has altered as a result of natural causes. Nowadays, however, the term climate change is generally used when referring to changes in our climate which have been identified since the early part of the 1900's. The changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted over the next 80 years are thought to be mainly as a result of human behaviour rather than due to natural changes in the atmosphere."

What the hell? They are actually suggesting that for hundreds of thousands, millions even, of years, the climate of the Earth has been changing because of natural causes. But suddenly, it seems, at the beginning the 20th Century, Mother Nature went out for lunch and has not been back since. Instead, we took over the role of changing the climate. Very convenient that the Earth would have entered a period of complete temperature stability - for the first time in it's multi-billion-year histoy - at precisely the moment we became heavily industrialised. Except we have all conspired to ruin it by inventing cars, factories and planes.

What utter tosh. It is still natural causes that vary the temperature.

This is just a further example of the way Global Warming(TM) is now hyped up in a huge frenzy by those who have everything to gain by having people believe it.

Governments can increase taxes.
Newspapers sell more copies.
Scientists get more funding.
"Independant" research groups get to keep their jobs.

All of these people have lots to gain by perpetuating the myth. The problem is, this myth amounts to massive fraud.

Billions of dollars, probably Trillions, are being spent on the nonsense that is the Kyoto protocol. This basically sets out an agenda to reduce the temperature by 2050, by a tiny amount. And then it only actually delays that temperature by 6 years. In other words, it has no effect at all. All this money could be better spent on, for example, Malaria research. Malaria actually kills millions of people per year. They could all be saved with this money spent on research for new treatments. But that's not trendy, and would only increase the population count. Not good for politicians.

You never hear of the Medieval Warm Period, a fairly long period at the beginning of the last millennium where temperatuers were signficantly higher than "normal". Or the Little Ice Age, which occured afterwards where temperatures dropped. The evidence actually is that we are still coming out of that period now, hence the current trend for going up. Also note that these periods typically lasted a couple of hundred years or more each. You simply can't effect massive change in fifty years. That's a geological nanosecond.

The temperature might be going slightly up now, but then it'll go down again in another couple of hundred years time. Maybe it'll drop drastically and we'll have a ten-thousand year long ice age. What then?

We simply can't predict this stuff. So stop wasting my tax money on trying to change it and spend it on something worthwhile instead.
