			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Updated &#8211; Editor&#8217;s Note:</strong> Earlier today, <a href="http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/09/breitbart-error-global-warming" target="_blank">Mother Jones</a>, then <a href="http://mediamatters.org/blog/201109190009" target="_blank">Media Matters for America</a>, then the <a href="http://dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/19/cosmic-breitbart-climate-blunder/" target="_blank">New York Times</a> accused Andrew Breitbart of a &#8220;global warming blunder&#8221; because the piece below cited Jykri Kauppinen as an author of a </em>Nature<em> study on cosmic rays. The author of the piece, Chriss W. Street, has indicated that Kauppinen is the author of a separate <a href="http://climaterealists.com/index.php?id=5540" target="_blank">submission</a> to </em>Nature <em>in 2010 that also contests the UN Climate Panel&#8217;s &#8220;consensus&#8221; view on the degree to which human activity contributes to global climate change. Street stands by his argument, regardless of the minor citation error that Breitbart&#8217;s habitual critics on the left have attempted to magnify. &#8211; Joel Pollak</em></p>
<p>***</p>
<p>Nature Journal of Science, ranked as the world&#8217;s most cited scientific periodical, has just published the definitive study on Global Warming that proves the dominant controller of temperatures in the Earth’s atmosphere is due to galactic cosmic rays and the sun, rather than by man.  One of the report’s authors, Professor Jyrki Kauppinen, summed up his conclusions regarding the potential for man-made Global Warming: &#8220;I think it is such a blatant falsification.&#8221; [<em>See above - ed.</em>]</p>
<p><a href="http://biggovernment.com/files/2011/09/al-gore-404_682507c1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-326540" title="al-gore-404_682507c" src="http://biggovernment.com/files/2011/09/al-gore-404_682507c1.jpg" alt="" width="404" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>The research was conducted by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which invented the World Wide Web, built the multi-billion dollar Large Hadron Collider, and now has constructed a pristinely clean stainless steel chamber that precisely recreates the Earth’s atmosphere.  The climate study involved scientists representing 17 of Europe’s and America’s premiere research institutes.  The results demonstrate that cosmic rays promote the formation of molecules that can grow and seed clouds in the Earth’s atmosphere; the temperatures then fall as the density of the clouds increase.  Because the sun’s magnetic field controls how many cosmic rays reach Earth’s atmosphere; the sun determines the temperature on Earth.</p>
<p>Nature Journal has been the holy-grail of scientific research publication since it was established in England in 1869.  Its original editors gave the title to their new scientific journal in celebration of a line by British poet William Wordsworth: &#8220;To the solid ground of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye&#8221;.  Because research scientists are the primary audience this most prestigious of journals, the magazine strives to retain its stamp of approval as the pinnacle of scientific credibility for original research.  Nature first introduced its readers to X-rays, DNA double helix, wave nature of particles, pulsars, and more recently mapping of the human genome.</p>
<p>But Nature’s reputation suffered a huge black eye on November 21, 2009 when a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) and released 1079 emails and 72 documents exposing willful fraud in several scientific papers published in Nature that supported Al Gore’s theory Anthropogenic Global Warming.  CRU houses the most world’s most extensive data base on atmospheric temperatures and the e-mails exposed blatant exaggerations of the warming data, possible illegal destruction of evidence, and conspiracy to manipulate or suppress data not supporting of the man-made Global Warming theory.</p>
<p><span id="more-326332"></span></p>
<p>One e-mail describes tricks used supporting Anthropogenics in major Nature article:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”</p></blockquote>
<p>As the Wall Street Journal and other conservative media hyper-ventilated over the hacker leaks they referred to as the “Climategate Scandal”; Nature quickly retaliated in defense of Anthropogenic Global Warming with a scathing editorial titled: “Climatologists Under Pressure” stating: “Stolen e-mails have revealed no scientific conspiracy, but do highlight ways in which climate researchers could be better supported in the face of public scrutiny.”  The editorial skewered academic doubters of man-made Global Warming as the “climate-change-denialist fringe” and in a shocking Freudian-slip the Nature editorial roared its political partisanship:</p>
<blockquote><p>“This paranoid interpretation would be laughable were it not for the fact that obstructionist politicians in the US Senate will probably use it next year as an excuse to stiffen their opposition to the country&#8217;s much needed climate bill. Nothing in the e-mails undermines the scientific case that global warming is real — or that human activities are almost certainly the cause.”</p></blockquote>
<p>For Nature to now publish research that eviscerates the Anthropogenics theory heralds a tectonic rejection by academia of support for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.  The UN protocol requires every nation on earth to reduce their atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gas to 94.8% of 1990 levels to “prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.”  The U.S. Senate legislation that Nature sought to stridently lobbying for is named “America&#8217;s Climate Security Act of 2007”; commonly known as the Cap-and-Trade Bill.</p>
<p>The Heritage Foundation estimated that the costs of complying with Cap-and-Trade would include; a 29% increase in the price of gasoline, losses of hundreds of thousands of jobs, and lead to reductions of $1.7 to $4.8 trillion of the U.S. GDP by 2030.  Furthermore, Cap-and-Trade would set up a gargantuan intergovernmental bureaucracy that would likely ban natural gas fracking, steam injection of tar sands, and surface coal mining for exploration and development of America’s immense energy reserves.</p>
<p>After 20 years of academic supremacy and hundreds of billions of dollars of costs; the Anthropogenic Global Warming theory seems headed for the dust bin of history.  Perhaps the admirable action of the Nature Journal of Science to place scientific integrity above partisan politics will be a valuable lesson for the scientific community in the future.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A trial lawyer reading through the hacked emails from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) will immediately, almost unconsciously, begin generating a list of questions he would love to ask the authors if he were able to face them on the witness stand and under oath.  The beauty of the adversarial process is how cross-examination tests and challenges the other side’s position – precisely what the emails indisputably show the CRU and its allies in the climate change scam have gone to shocking lengths to avoid.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-37794" title="the-goracle" src="http://biggovernment.com/files/2009/11/the-goracle1.jpg" alt="the-goracle" width="381" height="357" /></p>
<p>There are several lines of examination that come immediately to mind.  We can rest assured that it will never happen – as the emails show, the last thing they want to do is be in a position where they have to explain themselves.  But certainly asking leading climate change cheerleader Phil Jones about his <a href="http://www.eastangliaemails.com/emails.php?eid=154&amp;filename=942777075.txt"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">email</span></a> describing his use of a “trick” to describe the manipulation of observed temperature data to “hide the decline” in order to achieve the desired result would be amusing:</p>
<p><span id="more-37782"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>So, Dr. Jones, when you used the word “trick,” you really meant that it was not a “trick” at all but a valid, scientifically recognized process of data interpretation?</li>
<li>Can you identify another instance in your experience where a scientist described his valid, scientifically recognized process of data interpretation with a term commonly used to describe a hoax, scam or fraud?</li>
<li>And when you wrote the words “hide the decline,” is it now your testimony that when you used the word “hiding,” you were not actually “hiding” anything, and moreover, though you used the word “decline,” there was no “decline” in temperatures to be hidden in the first place?</li>
<li>So, if I understand your explanation, it is that you commonly use language in your communications which means precisely the opposite of the meaning that you are seeking to communicate?</li>
<li>And if an email from those who disagree with your findings – who you call “deniers” or “skeptics” – were to be made public that described their use of a “trick” to “hide the increase” in temperatures, would you find this to be of no great import because scientists commonly describe their processes as “tricks” and that their act of “hiding the increase” must be purely benign based on the manner of usage you describe?</li>
<li>So, is it only proponents of man-made global warming that habitually use words and phrases that mean precisely the opposite of their common usage to describe their work?</li>
</ul>
<p>But, as delightful as it would be to pick at particular instances of the activists’ admissions of fraud and their lame attempts to explain them away, there’s really one question that needs to be asked.  In fact, if Al Gore would ever expose himself to the questions of anyone beyond the most credulous climate change sycophants, someone ought to ask it of him:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Gore, would you be happy if tomorrow you were to see irrefutable scientific evidence that mankind’s activities are not causing the Earth to warm?</p></blockquote>
<p>A normal person would answer with a resounding, “Yes!”  A normal person would be relieved that not only is our planet safe, but that we need not spend trillions of dollars and forfeit our most basic freedoms in pursuit of remedies for the bugbear of climate change.</p>
<p>But do you think for a second Al Gore would say, “Yes”?  Do you think any of the global warming suckers would?  Get real.</p>
<p>Understand you would not get an express, “No.”  He would probably just deny the validity of the question (“We know climate change is real so that will never happen”).  But after 15 years of examining witnesses, I have a rule of thumb.  Any answer to a question that is not an unambiguous “Yes” is really a “No.”</p>
<p>And to those invested (ideologically, professionally and financially) in man-made climate change, the answer would be “No.”  But contrary evidence would make no difference regardless.  Al Gore and his ilk would not be shaken in the least by contrary scientific findings because the climate change scam is not driven by science.  It is a campaign driven by the end the believers seek – an agenda of political, economic and social control.  The science is simply a convenient means to that end.  In fact, climate change belief is the opposite of science.  It is a faith, a pagan religion complete with infallible doctrines, ritual sacrifices and even heretics who must be burned at the (so far) figurative stake.</p>
<p>A basic concept in the scientific method is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">falsifiability</span></a>, the idea that a scientific hypothesis can be disproven through evidence.  If a hypothesis cannot ever be falsified, then to believe it requires an act of faith.  Therefore, if the climate change hypothesis is truly based upon science, with the production of satisfactory evidence it could be disproven.  And this leads to one final question for the climate change believers:</p>
<blockquote><p>Mr. Gore, if presented with irrefutable scientific evidence that the man-made climate change hypothesis is incorrect, would you accept it?</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, believing that Mr. Gore would answer with an unambiguous “Yes” would itself require an enormous leap of faith.</p>
