Same Dr. Richard Mueller on Michael Mann's "Hockey Stick" report that directly influenced the IPCC:

And btw, what Richard Mueller is stating is that he believes there has been some global warming. That's a fair conclusion.. Especially since the Earth has been warming off and on for thousands (hundred's of thousands? Millions?) of years.

Look at how Mueller rebuids Mann's chart using the data that was leaked from CRU. It shows a marked decline beginning in the late 1800's to recent years. And now we're seeing a bounce back upward in climate temperatures.. Doesn't that sound natural and logical? Push a volley ball under water far enough and eventually it's going to pop back up to the surface, right?

And btw, Michael Mann was one of the founders of the RealClimate.org

wattsupwiththat.com

I'm old enough to remember the hoopla that was presented in the '70s over the coming Ice Age and how everyone in the climatic community had adopted that "zietgeist".

The reality is this.. Assuming that CO2 is the terrible greenhouse poison that GW's advocates that it is, then it stands to reason that we should be seeing more dramatic expansion of flora (plants), both on land and in the oceans. We should be seeing this because CO2 is a major element that ALL plants need to thrive.

Therefore, it stands to reason that if there is an abundance of CO2, the most logical solution to re-sequester it is to augment the growth of the primary flora responsible for CO2 absorption during photosynthesis, (ie; phytoplankton). This means we provide the other essential elements necessary for the growth of oceanic phytoplankton (Iron and Silica preferred by Diatoms).

HOWEVER, I personally believe that more is going on in the climatic equation. I believe a lot of it has to do with solar activity. We saw during the Maunder Minimum, when the sun was rather calm, that the earth experienced significant cooling. That was only a 300 hundred years ago. And now some people are predicting that we're possibly entering a similar sunspot minimum within the next 20 years. If that happens, Dr. Mueller's conclusions are likely going to be reversed very quickly.

I just cannot perceive how, in the course of 20 years, we can suddenly believe we're masters at understanding how the planet's climate is influence by terrestrial and extra-terrestrial events.

But I do believe that we can mitigate any extremes through augmentation of the planet's natural system of checks and balances.

Leftist U.S. Professors Huddle With Genocidal Islamists in Tehran

21/04/2012

If you or a family member attend Brooklyn College, Fordham University or City University of New York, there are three professors that you should avoid at all costs:



Alex Vitae



Heather Gautney



John Hammond

These three geniuses are featured in an Iranian state-controlled media video segment at a conference in Tehran about the radical leftist Occupy Wall Street movement.

It’s a shame, but the Left in America as it exists today will conference with terrorists, genocidal monsters and outright enemies of liberty to promote their seditious agenda. No where is this more true than on our college campuses.

Your blogger gave a speech on the Muslim Brotherhood in America to a group near Baton Rouge, LA two years ago. A professor at LSU criticized my speech and defended the Muslim Brotherhood as a legitimate opposition movement. When I checked his CV, it turns out that he had been a visiting professor at the University of Tehran for 3 consecutive summers in recent years.

Clearly the regime in Tehran is running a successful influence campaign on US college campuses, even public university campuses, where they are essentially on the taxpayers’ payroll. The ayatollahs are finding willing fellow travelers and useful idiots in the form of American college professors who are filling the minds of America’s youth with subversive hogwash.

When you click on the link below to view this 2-minute video from Iran’s Press TV via the excellent MEMRI service, pay particular attention to Heather Gautney of Fordham. Notice that she is wearing a head scarf. We are 100% certain that this is not part of Heather’s normal attire. She is willing to bow to Iran’s Shariah law and make herself look like the hypocrite that she is in order to commiserate with those who chant “Death to America.”

These three professors are disgraceful. What they are doing is no different than a visiting delegation heading to Nazi Germany in 1938–except we arguably know MORE about Iran’s evil activities than we had yet realized about Nazi Germany in 1938…
