You might be correct, but you are missing
the bigger picture: First, the whole thing,
climate change and/or global warming is
a guilt trip, another morality play about
sinful humans, the old trilogy of transgression,
retribution, and redemption, a flim-flam,
fraud scam by a few people to get power and
money. So, the trasgression is, in short,
the Industrial Revolution. The retribution
is climate change. The redemption will,
right, involve the usual -- sacrifice, in this
case, send your money.

The reason for talking about climate change
is not the technical one but just the
sales pitch: For the past 15 years or so,
the predicted warming did not occur, so a
memo went out to talk about climate change.

Heck temperature, or average global temperature,
should be easy to report, just degrees
F, C, or K. Still, the usual evidence was
in terms of the snows of Kilimanjaro, icebergs
crashing into the sea at the ends of glaciers,
and pictures of polar bears, pictures of
ice in the Arctic during the summers, exploitation
of the fact that due to winds and currents
where the Arctic ice collects varies from year to
year.

BTW all those people talking about the
warming of the Arctic didn't report from
first hand data during the winters, right,
with maybe -80 F and 80 MPH winds. A reason
for that? I know: Lots of reporters tried
but just didn't come back!

If can pull off the warming scam using
mostly just pictures of polar bears, etc.
without talking about temperature, then
for climate change, where the evidence
is much more difficult to analyze for
significant changes or trends, can be
talking about absolutely nothing for
centuries until finally the scam shuts
down the first world economies, which is
one of the goals.

Or as one global warming scientist admitted,
a major benefit is the collection of
beneficial social changes. He had in
mind that from the cooling from shutting
down the Industrial Revolution teenagers on
dates would have to wear lots of extra
clothing and, thus, make it more likely
the girl would still be a virgin when
she got married???

It's a scam, guys. The science is just
window dressing. Don't be gullible. It's
essentially the same as the threat of a pool
table in town in the movie The Music Man
where the real goal was to get money and
take the next train out of town.

Did I
mention, it's a scam? You believe that
Al Guru is interested in the science?
What about Tom Friedman: On a late night
TV show he said that the threat of CO2
is that it absorbed sunlight. Wrong,
Tom. If CO2 absorbed visible light,
then we could see the CO2 as we exhaled.
Instead, the issue of CO2 is that it
absorbs in three narrow frequency bands,
one for each of twisting, bending, and
stretching of the molecule, out in the
infrared, and the main source of the
infrared in question is not directly from
the sun but just the black (gray) body
radiation of the surface of the earth
warmed by absorbing the visible and
UV radiation from the sun. I know,
Tom, in freshman physics you were out
on the quad arguing that the earth was
flat.

Why do the NYT and WaPo keep flogging
this old horse? To have stories easy
to write, for years, and get ad revenue.
They have heavily just created the story
so that they can write about it.

Other fellow travelers in this scam
include business people who want Federal
Government money and politicians who, then,
want kick backs, excuse me, campaign
donations.

Did I mention, it's a scam?
