Dorian vs CNN & Global Warming: UPDATE

Katherine McClintock: [after walking out of her bedroom to find G.W. and Mrs. Warren at the bottom of the stairs] What’s going on here?
George Washington McLintock: [Intoxicated, with Mrs. Warren sitting on his lap] Now Katherine, are you going to believe what you see, or what I tell you?

McLintock! 1963

For all of those people without a life who intend to watch the CNN Global warming special I’d like to make an important point that you likely have not considered. It’s a point I’ve made before but as both Tip O’Neill and St. John knew, good arguments need to be repeated often to people.

As I write this post at 10 AM on Tuesday here via a Drudge link, is the cone of Hurricane Dorian:

You will note that there both an exact location, an exact speed and and an exact direction the storm is moving at the moment along with a projected path of the storm in that image.

Now here are the current computer models of the projected patch of the hurricane over the next few days.

Notice the various paths shown by the models and that even though they are using the most modern equipment out there and well funded the various projected paths over the next four days are quite different some of them hundreds of miles apart.

And also note that all of these models have the advantage of having exact data, that is each of these models have identical factual data on.

  1. When the storm first developed
  2. Where the storm first developed
  3. The previous path of the storm
  4. The strength of the storm on that path
  5. The speed of the storm during that path
  6. The previous speed of the storm
  7. The current location of the storm
  8. The current speed of the storm
  9. The current direction of the storm

So with this all this exact data these models can’t agree on where this storm is going to be, how strong it will be and how fast it will get there over the course of five days…

…and yet we have our elites asking us to change our entire way of life based on computer models of meteorological events not days out but decades out and we have people teaching our young to be so panicked about their continued existence existed based on these models that they don’t believe they will be alive to middle age.

You’d have to be a real fool to believe this stuff, I say go ahead and buy that mansion on the coast like Obama did. It’s not going to be underwater any more than his is.

Update:  It’s 2:22 AM and I’m about to hit the sack but before I do I’d like you to compare the track from above to this updated track.

In the space of under one day, 19 hours to be precise the projected path is different and the width of the cone is different as well.

Keep that in mind the next time one of these idiots tells you that if you fly the planet is doomed.

Why is this man on TV?

I have the strange Habit in the morning (for a conservative) of watching Morning Joe on weekdays as I get ready to start my day.

Morning Joe is interesting for several reasons. It is the least bombastic show on MSNBC, and the only one where a conservative positions are occasionally introduced. It’s a great measure if a conservative story is actually going to break into the MSM, even if it is to simply be attacked. It is also the most entertaining morning show out there.

One and a while they have a guest that is so outrageous that I tend to change the channel. One of them is Dr. Jeffrey Sachs from the Earth institute of Columbia University. His most egregious batch of nonsense was referring to the great scholar Victor Davis Hanson as an “extremist” and excoriating Joe Scarborough for quoting a piece of his.

This morning just after coming home from taking my kid to school they brought Sachs on. I was busy writing bills so I only briefly registered him, but my jaw dropped because he started talking sensibly about nuclear power in the US. It was such a change, he pointed out that the US does have nuclear power now and it has been generally safe that I started to pay closer attention…then he went and spoiled it by making an incredible claim.

Just after Ed Rendell made the great point that no US trial lawyer has even won a death suit over nuclear power. Sacks followed up stating AS A FACT that thousands of people are dying all over the world from climate change, and calling those do disagree propagandists. He claimed this was due to droughts, floods and famine.

The sheer absurdity of this claim is breathtaking; anyone who has studied history of the world knows that droughts, floods and famine have been with us since time immemorial. To try to make such a connection is so egregious, so nonsensical that you would wonder that an educated person could say it, then again how much funding does Columbia’s “earth institute” from the Global Warming crowd?

Morning Joe Today hit Michelle Bachmann for incorrectly placing Lexington and Concord in New Hampshire but nobody challenged Sacks completely unprovable statement, even more incredible is the idea of making such a statement while people are pulling actual dead bodies out of cars and homes in Japan.

If you want to know why academics have lost the respect of the public in general, look no further.

Update: That’s Jeffrey Sachs btw, corrected

Has anyone seen Al Gore this winter?

No sign of him anywhere in the mainstream media.

I think after the summer thaw we will find him under some snowbank.

Speaking of things that you aren’t seeing in the mainstream media

Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has been taking the University of Virginia to court to get information on a climate change researcher who once worked at the school.

Now several members of the State Assembly say they’ve had enough and have introduced legislation to rein in Cuccinelli’s investigation.

Cuccinelli, a global warming skeptic, is looking into whether UVA professor Michael Mann manipulated data to show that there has been a rapid, recent rise in the Earth’s temperature.

Nor have you seen this:

Dr Benny Peiser and Dr David Whitehouse, of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), have written to John Hirst, chief executive of the beleaguered Met Office, asking for an explanation of a press release issued by his organisation on January 20 and headed “2010 – a near record year”. This won headlines by claiming that last year was hotter than any other in the past decade.

When the two men examined the original data from which this claim was derived – compiled by the University of East Anglia’s Climatic Research Unit and the Met Office’s Hadley Centre – it clearly showed 2010 as having been cooler than 2005 (and 1998) and equal to 2003. It emerged that, for the purposes of the press release, the data had been significantly adjusted.

Pay no attention to the people behind the curtain.

Or This:

TWO inquiries into claims that scientists manipulated data about global warming were yesterday condemned by MPs as ineffective and too secretive.

Nah nothing to see here.

The surest sign that “Climate Change” has jumped the shark…

…is Charles Johnson attacking those who don’t fall for this bunk.

Well tomorrow is another year and to my knowledge he still hasn’t changed sides on Israel so there is still a slight hope for him, but I wouldn’t want to make book on when that will change.
