Pirate's Cove

Over at Grist, David Roberts is pimping a video with the headline “Why climate change is not an environmental problem: The video“. I made the mistake of watching this long discourse which ignores actual science, but, then, ‘climate change’ isn’t about science, it’s about pushing for far left political control.

Here’s what Tom Nelson saw

Video promoted by Grist: “Climate change is arguably the biggest threat modern society has ever faced, with the possible exception of nuclear war…at the very least, it’s bigger than communism, bigger than Al-Qaeda, bigger than fascism, bigger than all of them combined”

As he points out, the money quotes start at the 1:15 mark. And what you get is lots of profanity, some Blame Bush, and really, an overall sense that this issue has nothing to do with the environment. Which it doesn’t. That’s how we can end up with “science” like the Bermuda Triangle Defense, regarding the “missing heat” being in the deep oceans

“Where’s the heat? In the oceans!” USA Today claimed in a headline the same day.

The headlines reflect a prominent global warming activist claiming that he developed a computer model by which global warming can bypass the atmosphere, bypass the upper ocean, and be entirely hidden in the deep ocean; you know, that part of our planet where we really can’t measure or find anything. The missing global warming is apparently hanging out at the underwater space alien base in the heart of the Bermuda Triangle, along with the missing files proving the 9/11 Truthers are right that George W. Bush bombed the World Trade Center, along with the Vast Rightwing Conspiracy files proving that Bill Clinton really did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky, and along with the missing film footage proving the seven Apollo astronauts and two Johnson Space Center directors who claim global warming is not a crisis really did stage their moon landings on a vacant lot somewhere in the Arizona desert.

The global warming activists, of course, do their best to make their Bermuda Triangle defense sound scientific. The paper claims all this phantom global warming really can directly bypass the atmosphere and the upper ocean if winds start blowing strangely enough and strongly enough to bury the warming deep in the ocean. Thankfully, we can spare ourselves the dizzying asserted logic of such claims by examining recent global sea surface wind data. As Bermuda Triangle-busting science would have it, NASA satellite instruments show global sea surface wind speeds have declined rather than increased during the past decade.

Warmists will do and say anything to protect their cult of Gore, because the endgame is Progressivism, far left control of governments and people, not science or the environment.
