Climate Change, to say the least
makes us humans change some habits,
though the sun still chooses east
there is panic ‘mongst the rabbits.

Nerdy, idiosyncratic
motivation quite unknown,
quark and man made heavy static
new emperors to claim the throne.

Polar bears, so many starving
neither seals or tasty fish,
end up serving pups and carving
offspring as survival dish.

Icebergs melting raising oceans
though the physics are unclear,
grizzlies passing smaller motions
in the forests, so I hear.

Say the experts, it is gazzes
preference for C-O-Two,
emanating out of azzes
and the lowly Subaru.

Burning fossils is the trouble,
though we ought to, don’t you think?
And the atmospheric bubble
makes the solar system blink.

First it’s cooling then it’s warming,
records kept and falsified,
killer bees covertly swarming
turtles drowning in the tide.

Please dear reader, use some logic,
and recall your chemistry,
images so anagogic
for the biased mind to see.

They will plunge civilisation
into poverty and death
those who will commit their nation
to renounce their carbon breath.

All this is quite schizophrenic,
voices heard and faulty reason,
yet to say anthropogenic
is denial of the seasons.

Sun empowers living matter
sun has rhythm and design,
Gore the impotent mad hatter
claims his profit paradigm.

All in all, so many changes,
gone the cold Siberian East,
Santa carefully arranges
straw hats for his wildebeest.

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”

Galileo Galilei, contrarian astronomer.

“Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.”

No research has been done in Australia into the fate of CO2 emitted from coal fired power stations. (This conclusion has been reached after enquires to the Greenhouse Office, Energy Supply Association of Australia, Australian Coal Research, National Generators Forum and CSIRO.)

About 25 years ago a CSIRO team using an aircraft fitted with measuring equipment did a study into the fate of sulphur dioxide emitted from the Mount Isa smelters. They flew through and down the plume over some weeks to determine what happened to the SO2 and tracked the plume as far as the Indian Ocean. A second team worked on the ground and studied what happened when the plume hit the ground.

Local factors such as stack height, gas temperatures, ambient temperatures, humidity, rainfall, local vegetation, topography and wind speed and direction could play a role in determining exactly what happens to the CO2 emitted from power stations. It is known that CO2 is absorbed by plants and there could be other unknown chemical and physical interactions that could be used to reduce CO2 going into the upper atmosphere.

Power stations also emit water vapour from cooling towers so it is possible that research into the fate of CO2 emissions might lead to power stations being built in prime agriculture land with the water vapour and CO2 combined and distributed through a network of low stacks to enhance agricultural production.

It is amazing that no research has been done to find out exactly what happens to CO2 emitted from power stations.

A large paddock of corn may exhaust the carbon dioxide for some meters above the crop when growing strongly during a sunny day. It would benefit greatly from some nearby source of carbon sustenance. The moisture would also be welcome. Even a bit of sulphur and nitrogen would be very beneficial to the nearby plants.

“The farming sector will still pay more for inputs such as fertilizer,electricity,fuel and transport and because they have always been price takers you can guarantee ETS charges levied on food processors will end up being paid by the farmer.

“Exempting agriculture is like being thrown from a 10th floor window instead of a 20th floor window – the result is the same.”

Senator John Williams, Senator for NSW, Nov 2009.

Look at these two quotes:

Kevin Rudd at the Lowy Institute on November 6:

“The overwhelming need for Australia to tackle the great challenge of our generation is being frustrated by the do-nothing climate change sceptics. My message to the climate change sceptics, to the big betters and the big risk-takers, is this: You are betting our children’s future and the future of our grandchildren.”

Malcolm Turnbull on ABC radio’s AM, 27 Nov 09:

“This is not a game. We are talking about the future of our children and their children, we’re talking about the future of our planet. The vast majority of Australians want to see action on climate change. The issue boils down in the mind of the Australian people, which party can we trust to take effective action on climate change?”

Turnbull has already used trickery to frustrate the majority in the party room who wanted to at least delay the Ration-N-Tax Scheme.

Now Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull have devised a another tricky plan to get the CPRS Bill through the Senate on Monday 30th November, the day before the Liberal party meeting he has called for Tuesday, where he is expected to be blasted out of office.

The plan is to move the guillotine in the Senate on Monday where the ALP’s 32 senators will be supported by Turnbullite Liberal senators in sufficient numbers to pass the guillotine. Once that has been done the CPRS Bill will be immediately put to the vote, and the same coalition of ALP and Turnbullite senators will pass the Bill.

This is indeed a cunning plan and demonstrates the length of trickery to which Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull are prepared to go together to impose this monstrous regime of command and control on Australia.

New Zealand’s National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) is responsible for New Zealand’s National Climate Database. This database, available online, holds all New Zealand’s climate data, including temperature readings, since the 1850s. Anybody can go and get the data for free. That was done by the New Zealand Climate Science Coalition (http://nzclimatescience.net/) and reported in a recent paper edited by Richard Treadgold.

They found that the raw data, when plotted, showed that New Zealand average temperatures have been remarkably constant, way back to the 1850’s. But the official graph produced by NIWA and provided to the IPCC showed significant “global warming” because the original data has been adjusted and strangely most of the adjustments create the warming trend. The NZCSC paper comments:

“We have discovered that the warming in New Zealand over the past 156 years was indeed man-made, but it had nothing to do with emissions of CO2-it was created by man-made adjustments of the temperature. It’s a disgrace.”

In an interesting coincidence, the original graph was prepared by Dr Jim Salinger when he worked at the Climate Research Institute at the University of East Anglia, which is now the centre of much attention because of what appears to be “adjustments” to CRU data and reports.

There is a colossal scandal erupting in the blogosphere, and in the better media. Someone, probably an insider offended by what he saw was going on, leaked a large volume of emails from within the global warming priesthood centred within the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, UK.

These show a pattern of manipulation, suppression and selection of data and evidence all designed to create and maintain the global warming myth. So now we know – Global Warming is man-made after all – it is created by men using manufactured data, dodgy computer models and “mates reviewed” papers by a small group of dedicated believers posing as scientists.

No one has fully assessed what it all means yet, but for a flavour of what will be revealed see:

Natural Climate Change continues despite Al Gore and the IPCC. The sun exhibits great variability in the strength of each solar cycle. This variability ranges from extremely quiet “Grand Minima” such as the Maunder Minimum, to very active “Grand Maxima” such as the enhanced activity observed during most of the 20th century.

But the solar Grand Maxima that has persisted during most of the 20th century has come to an abrupt end.

Solar Grand Minima events correspond to periods of dramatic natural global cooling. The Maunder Minimum (about 1645-1715 A.D.) and Spörer Minimum (about 1420-1570 A.D.) are two examples of recent “Grand Minima” events and each period has been referred to as an element of the Little Ice Age.

The entire basis for the concept of global warming being caused by CO2 emissions is both predicated and dependent on the answer to a simple question:

“How much of the thermal radiation energy from the Earth in the band centred on the 14.77micron wavelength that is resonant with the vibrational mode of CO2 has already been affected by the current atmospheric CO2 concentration and how much energy remains to be affected?”

This question was never addressed by Svante Arrhenius in his seminal 1896 paper because that paper predates quantum physics and he was not aware that the process by which thermal energy is affected by CO2 is limited to a single vibrational mode with a resonant wavelength of 14.77microns.
