Global Warming Falls Apart

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

William Butler Yeats

Unless Hold the Mayo is your primary source of news you are aware of the recent revelations regarding the Holy Church of Global Warming. If not here'e the news.

But before I get to that I have a slight rant I need to get off my chest. The most annoying legacy of any president in my lifetime has to be that of Richard Nixon. Because of him, any time any public official does something even slightly untoward, the resulting scandal is named with the suffix "gate." If only Nixon had campaigned honestly, if only the Democrats had chosen to work out of the Mariot. But no, history is what it is so we are stuck with "Climategate."

And now back to the news.

Someone (and no one is sure if was a hacker or insider leak) published a large collection of emails, files and data from a server of the Climate Research Unit of the East Anglia University in England. This is a significant development.

If you view "Global Warming" as a religion, the CRU is the Vatican. The work done by the CRU is the foundation of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports on the impending doom of the planet known as Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW).

The revealed emails and documents highlight efforts by select High Priests of the Church of Global Warming to manipulate data to insure that the results show man-made warming. That they actively worked to block peer reviewed publication of papers that questioned the idea of AGW. That they conspired to withhold information covered under freedom of information requests.

The CRU has subsequently acknowledged that they discarded the raw data on which they based their climate models and predictions to save space when they moved. The result of which is that it is now impossible for any scientist to independently verify their work.

I have always maintained that the entire AGW movement was not based on science. Like any long con, AGW is about the transfer of wealth. It is not a vast warming conspiracy, buy rather a web of independent yet intertwined efforts to redistribute wealth.

First there are the warm mongers themselves who, through their urgent alarms of eminent disaster and suffering polar bears, seek to ensure the transfer of wealth from various governments to themselves.

Then their are the profiteers who through scams such as "Green Energy" and "Carbon Credits" seek to transfer wealth from the general public to themselves. Yes, I'm talking about al Gore.

Then their are the governments who want to use AGW to justify all sorts of taxes and regulations to transfer wealth from their people to themselves.

And finally, as is the focus of the upcoming Church of GLobal Warming Pilgrimage to Copenhagen, there are the internationalist egalitarians. These are the folks who believe it to be their duty and their right to take wealth from nations that have produced it and hand it over to those who have not. These "developing" nations love the idea of transferring vast amounts of the world's wealth to themselves.

But the whole thing is falling apart at the seams. It is house of cards built on a foundation of lies and bogus data.

I doubt the Warmists will go down without a fight though. It should be fun to watch.

One more thing.

I told you so.

1 There's a spot in the dark corners of my brain, a spot that wants to remember some other part of history that relates to East Anglia; I remember now, that's the place where the Enigma Codes were broken during WWII. If I'm mistaken on this fact please correct my faded memory with the proper information.

Wouldn't it be sad for East Anglia to be remembered for creating one of the greatest hoaxes of all time, lies and deception generated for the church of man made global warming instead of breaking the codes which the U-boats used in their domination of the Atlantic which enabled allied forces to decipher their communications and eventually find and destroy these wolf packs? But I could be wrong about that, it might have been some other location in Great Britain.

2 The Enigma work was done a Bletchley Park. http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/

3 I went back and found some additional information; not being from that region, it would appear that Bletchley Park, the facility where the code breakers worked and now a museum, is located in an area generally called East Anglia, much like a county or parish. I'm going to have to pay better attention while watching the History Channel; don't have much use for Dancing with the Stars.
