An Associate has sent to me a Climate Change Summary, which I pass along to you for your consideration in combating the Obama Administration's and the UN's efforts to extract money from the US.

 

1.  Climate change is an ongoing process that has been taking place since the beginning of time on Earth, without any input from humans.

2.  Our entire atmosphere can be considered a "greenhouse gas", since without it, the Earth would be uninhabitable, scorching during the day and frigid at night.

3.  Nitrogen  (78%) and oxygen (21%) are the major components of our atmosphere.

4.. Minor components are:

        Argon  0.93%

       Carbon Dioxide  0.04%

       Trace mounts of Ne, He, Kr, Xe, Rn, Co, No, and a few others

       Additionally water vapor can be present at 0.1 to 2.8%.

5.  Thermal conductivity is a term used by scientists to measure the ability of any substance, including gasses, to transfer heat from one place to another.  The higher the value, the more effectively that substance transfers  heat  The thermal  conductivities of nitrogen and oxygen are essentially similar, but in the same order of magnitude, as carbon dioxide and water vapor, which are also essentially similar, but a bit lower.

6. There are no known studies or data to show a cause and effect relationship between carbon dioxide concentration in our atmosphere and global warming.

7.  There are no known magical properties of carbon dioxide which could be responsible for climate change or global warming.  Given the low concentration of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere (0.04%) such a magical property would be required for that to occur.

 

If one considers all these facts, there can be no excuse other than political or monetary objectives, for all the attention attached to carbon dioxide and climate change or global warming. 

UN Attempt to Destroy the US Economy

Open Email to Chairwoman Kay Granger (TX), House Subcommittee State, Foreign Operations and Related Programs,
 Chairman Edward Markey,  Subcommittee International Development  & Foreign Assistance, Economic  Affairs, International Environmental Protection  and  Peace Corps

Dear Chairwoman Granger  and  Chairman Markey,
        An Associate has been  following the meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Warsaw.
       The stated purpose of the UNFCCC is to organize a "complete transformation of the economic structure of the world".
       A new committee called the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage" was created and work on funding is to begin next year. The Green Climate Fund Board is to begin its initial resource mobilization process as soon as possible with rich countries, including the US, to announce how much they will "contribute" by next December when the UN meets in Lima, Peru. The U.S. agreed to prepare biennial submissions on its updated strategies and approaches for scaling up finance ("its contributions") between 2014 and 2020.
       Rep. Granger and Senator Markey, this UN program is a redistribution of wealth on a worldwide basis by a claimed reason of wealthy industrialized countries having created a climate change scenario which is detrimental to world inhabitants. I remind you that this is a hollow claim. There is no credible scientific evidence that industrialized countries have contributed to deleterious climate change through carbon dioxide emissions or any other action.
       Most US citizens are reasonably satisfied with the present economic position of the US compared to other countries of the world. We do not want government mandates to redistribute wealth and become a third world country ourselves. This is not to say that we should not have compassion on the underprivileged, whether they are members of our own US society or other country inhabitants, but it should not be forced upon us. We have a number of private organizations in the US that do good work for the underprivileged of the world. It is not up to the US government to engage in any practice involving a redistribution of wealth.
       I also wonder whether members of Congress are so weak in their belief of US supremacy and are so disinterested in their jobs that they are willing to pass along their responsibility to the United Nations.
       Let's keep the sovereignty of the US intact. While we have difficult internal problems, we resolve these ourselves, and we don't need a higher power other than God to tell us what we should be doing.

Philippine Hurricane and Global Warming

Most of us are familiar with the recent typhoon in the Philippines with resultant tremendous death and property damage. A typhoon is another name for hurricane, and both are categorized as cyclones. A typhoon/hurricane differs from a tornado only in size. A typhoon/hurricane may cover an area of several thousand square miles, while a tornado is usually limited to an area of about ten square miles. The intensity of the two types of storms is measured by maximum wind speed or minimum internal pressure.
United Nations (UN) head Ban Ki-moon says the Philippine typhoon, named Haiyan, was due to climate change. He was quoted as saying, "We have seen now what has happened in the Philippines. It is an urgent warning. An example of changed weather and how climate change is affecting all of us on Earth."
Recall that the UN position on climate change, previously called global warming, results from increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, which is presently at a level of 350 ppm. It is also claimed that an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration results from burning carbon containing fuels.
Many have said that Typhoon Haiyan was one of the strongest ever. However, historical records show that Haiyan is the 58th Super Typhoon since 1950 to reach a central pressure of 900 mb or lower. 
There have been 35 cyclones in the last 800 years that have killed more than 10,000 people. Thirty-three occurred with atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration below 350 PPM.
Ninety four per cent of the deadliest cyclones occurred with atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration below 350 ppm. The worst ones happened during the 1970 global cooling era.
We also have some long-term archaeological data concerning atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures during various interglacial periods. An interglacial period is 10,000 to 15,000 years long. According to ice core analysis, the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations during all four prior interglacial periods of the earth's history never rose above approximately 290 ppm. Today the atmospheric CO2 concentration stands at nearly 390 ppm. The present interglacial temperature is about 2°C colder than the previous interglacial temperature, even though the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration now is about 100 ppm higher. 

New Task Force on Climate Change Protection

    Earlier this month, Pres. Obama established by Executive Order a task force of local, state, and federal officials to consider strategies for protecting the nation from scorching heat, sea level rise, wildfires, droughts, floods, and storms.
    This is good, but we have to be careful of the usual problem that government does things to excess. In this case, the study is said to be related to climate change, which is not a problem to me, because we have had climate change in the past and will have it in the future, similar to changes in weather. We will not be able to control these changes, but we can be prepared for their effects. The simplest example familiar to everyone is the fact that our houses have roofs to protect against occasional rain and snow.
    Of the six items mentioned above, only two need further explanation. The inclusion of "sea level rise" is done with the implication that glaciers will be melting and ocean levels will rise. That's so much baloney. However, we do need to protect against excessive high tides caused by storm surges and tsunamis caused by undersea earthquakes. The reference also to storms should be specified as windstorms, since floods were previously listed.
    Now comes the bad part. As I mentioned previously concerning government excess, we can't even control weather and yet Pres. Obama wants to control climate. He has the EPA proposing to cut carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fire power plants. He presumably thinks, for some unfathomable reason that trace amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have some magical effect on climate.
    The task force will include governors of eight states, 16 local officials and two tribal representatives who are supposed to come up with recommendations in a year to modernize federal, state and local programs to avoid or better protect against climate-related disasters. As long as the task force stays within its bounds to protect against the weather related items mentioned above, we are on safe ground, even though Pres. Obama likes to call them man-made-climate change items.

IPCC Global Warming Fear Mongering

    Global warming fear mongers are heavily at work!
    Yesterday, Tony Barboza of the Los Angeles Times reviewed the latest preliminary report of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
    The IPCC says glaciers are shrinking and plants and animals have shifted their ranges in response to rising temperatures. As global warming continues through the 21st century, many species will face greater risk of extinction, marine life will shift toward the poles and seawater will grow more acidic. By 2100, hundreds of millions of people in coastal areas will be flooded or displaced by rising sea levels. The arid subtropics will have less fresh water. The global food supply of wheat, rice, corn and other major crops will drop 2% each decade. Extreme heat waves will be especially deadly in urban areas, associated with severe storms, flooding and drought.
    The IPCC says global surface temperature has risen about 1.5 degrees since 1880, and now predict that the planet will warm between 2.7 degrees and 8.1 degrees. Barboza does not mention whether these are degrees Centigrade or degrees Fahrenheit
    For a little converse data, Roy Spencer and John Christie measure global satellite temperatures monthly using satellite data. They use a base of 1981, 32 years ago. In 1997, 26 years ago, global temperature was 0.67°C above the base. In October of this year, the global temperature was 0.23° C above the base. In fact, the chart shows that there has been no increase in global warming in the last 26 years (since 1997). These are very different numbers from the 2.7° and 8.1°, predicted by the  IPCC for the future.
    More importantly, the IPCC makes its predictions on the basis that carbon dioxide is a super greenhouse gas, which inhibits release of heat from the earth to the stratosphere at night and leads to global warming. The IPCC claims that atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has increased significantly over the past 20 years, which is true. However, there is no indication from the data that there is any connection between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and global warming.
    Is also interesting that all of the proponents of connecting atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration to global warming cannot give any reasonable mechanism by which carbon dioxide is said to perform its claimed disastrous effects.

How Can We Control Executive Orders?

Open Email to Congress:

Dear Representatives and Senators,
    Pres. Obama is continuing his program to destroy the American economy and reduce the US to a third world country. His latest program is a resurgence to climate control. His previous efforts have met with no enthusiasm on the part of Congress. So, he is now using the process of executive order.    According to the Washington Times, Pres. Obama issued an executive order Friday directing a government-wide effort to boost preparation in states and local communities for the impact of global warming. The action orders federal agencies to work with states to build "resilience" against major storms and other weather extremes. For example, the President's order directs that infrastructure projects like bridges and flood control take into consideration climate conditions of the future, which might require building structures larger or stronger -- and likely at a higher price tag.
    I call this a sneaky process of moving ahead with an undesirable project by looking at a minor favorable aspect. Most everyone believes that we need adequate bridges, and with floods in the news, many, including yours truly, believe in flood control. The catch comes in with the specification of larger and stronger structures. How much larger and stronger? What would be the increased cost? Are they necessary? The obvious answer is that we don't need them. Engineers and architects know what they must do to protect buildings and other structures against the undesirable effects of weather conditions and other calamities. One extreme negative example was in the collapse of the twin towers in New York at the 9/11 terrorist attack. In that case, the towers were improperly designed because of government disallowance to use asbestos to protect the steelwork from fire.
    Other than the recent executive order on structures, Pres. Obama still has a goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 17% by 2020, and the Environmental Protection Agency is working on rules that would impose tougher regulations on coal-burning power plants. The key issue here is that neither the US federal government nor any other individual or agency has ever shown an appropriate cause-and-effect relationship between carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere and climate. To proceed with attempts to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and redesign buildings and other structures for more extreme climate based upon an assumption of more extreme weather variation is completely unjustified.
    I'm calling this to the attention of Congress not only from the point of view that there is no justification for action to prepare for climate change, but more importantly that some procedures or methods must be developed by Congress to control ridiculous projects of Presidents.

Comment on Global Warming Hoax

    I previously wrote on the Global Warming Hoax. One of our Political Advisers has added his comment as follows:

    "This is regard to your manuscriptic masterpiece on Global Warming, which is a sadistic form of Terrorism.  It seems that the Liberal Elite need to have some fearful Phantom Force to fight in order to save the minnows, he-goats and reindeer, so nice and the poor polar bears seen floating on ice.  The Elite seem to have a unique insight in regard to this mysterious omen that threatens our very existence according to them!  It has been two or three decades of days ago they were predicting we would soon face the threat of death by freezing and frostbite!  Since the Elite have nothing on their plate but hate, they must have an ample supply of food stamps, welfare, fright and fear to mesmerize the minds of their masses of dumb asses that don’t know squat and can’t tell truth from who knows what!"

    "It is this sub-minus mentality that elected our notorious wandering star who came from afar, Barack Hussein Obama who promised to ‘change’ our country.  It was his great Spiritual Mentor, Rev. Wright who prayed for the damning of America. The infamous Rev must have more clout than doubt with the Great I AM as He is answering his prayer as I write.   It will be remembered as the Obamanation of Desolation and is indeed the ultimate Enema of Evil!"
