GASP!: AGW ‘time bomb!’

More doom, more gloom! There’s also significant evidence that GLOBAL WARMING IS NOT HAPPENING, and thus...neither is this.

Scientists: Climate-Change 'Time Bomb' About to Go Off

There's a ticking time bomb underneath the oceans, and it's about to go off, some scientists say.

A Russian research ship trawling the Arctic off Siberia's northeastern coast has found huge amounts of methane bubbling up from the seafloor, according to reports in London's Independent newspaper and the Canadian Press wire service.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, trapping 20 times as much heat as carbon dioxide. While there's little of it in the atmosphere, there are gigantic frozen deposits of it, called methane clathrates, trapped in rocks in seabeds all over the world.

One of the leading global-warming doomsday scenarios involves all that methane thawing out as sea temperatures rise, then rushing to the surface and into the air, creating a runaway warming scenario.

Now there's some evidence that's beginning to happen.

GASP!: We must ration meat and milk!

The scare tactics and silly "solutions" never cease. More fear and hysteria available for you in the warmlist and our other GASP! posts.

Meat must be rationed to four portions a week, says report on climate change | Environment | The Guardian:

People will have to be rationed to four modest portions of meat and one litre of milk a week if the world is to avoid run-away climate change, a major new report warns.

The report, by the Food Climate Research Network, based at the University of Surrey, also says total food consumption should be reduced, especially "low nutritional value" treats such as alcohol, sweets and chocolates.

It urges people to return to habits their mothers or grandmothers would have been familiar with: buying locally in-season products, cooking in bulk and in pots with lids or pressure cookers, avoiding waste and walking to the shops - alongside more modern tips such as using the microwave and internet shopping.

The report goes much further than any previous advice after mounting concern about the impact of the livestock industry on greenhouse gases and rising food prices. It follows a four-year study of the impact of food on climate change and is thought to be the most thorough study of its kind.

Climate skeptic misrepresented by BBC?

No! Please! Say it ain't so! LOL!

When a hysterical media has no firm scientific (or even empirical) footing on which to stand anymore, all that's left for it to do is misrepresent the other side to continue spreading propaganda like a faithful cultist. More on Monckton here in a previous blog post.

BBC investigated after peer says climate change programme was 'one-sided polemic' | Mail Online:

The BBC is being investigated by television watchdogs after a leading climate change sceptic claimed his views were deliberately misrepresented.

Lord Monckton, a former adviser to Margaret Thatcher, says he was made to look like a ‘potty peer’ on a TV programme that ‘was a one-sided polemic for the new religion of global warming’.

Earth: The Climate Wars, which was broadcast on BBC 2, was billed as a definitive guide to the history of global warming, including arguments for and against.

During the series, Dr Iain Stewart, a geologist, interviewed leading climate change sceptics, including Lord Monckton. But the peer complained to Ofcom that the broadcast had been unfairly edited.

Record cold in South Africa

Empirical evidence just continues to mount. Har-har, hardy-har-har. It's cold...not WARM!

News - Environment: Surprise spring snowfalls blanket KZN:

Parts of KwaZulu-Natal were transformed into a "winter wonderland" after snowfalls blanketed several areas of the province.

Temperatures plummeted into the low teens, with residents of Kokstad and Giants Castle waking up to 0C.

Durban experienced its coldest September night in recorded history on Friday night.

Snowfalls were reported in Kokstad, Matatiele, Underberg, Mooi River, Bulwer, Himeville and Nottingham Road.

Several roads in the province were closed and people were advised not to go snow hunting, as they risked becoming stuck in traffic and not being able to keep themselves warm.

The road between Harding and Kokstad was closed for most of yesterday, but has since been reopened.

Where Idiots Take Us

Anarchy under a new guise? I’ve made the argument before that the global warming cult is merely a means to advance radical left-wing ideas and philosophies in a world that has mostly turned off to socialism and communism. This surely won’t make the majority British AGW disbelievers happy.

Oh BTW, the founder of Greenpeace says global warming is BS. Just thought you sheep would like to know...

Cleared: Jury decides that threat of global warming justifies breaking the law

The threat of global warming is so great that campaigners were justified in causing more than £35,000 worth of damage to a coal-fired power station, a jury decided yesterday. In a verdict that will have shocked ministers and energy companies the jury at Maidstone Crown Court cleared six Greenpeace activists of criminal damage.

Jurors accepted defence arguments that the six had a "lawful excuse" to damage property at Kingsnorth power station in Kent to prevent even greater damage caused by climate change. The defence of "lawful excuse" under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 allows damage to be caused to property to prevent even greater damage – such as breaking down the door of a burning house to tackle a fire.

The not-guilty verdict, delivered after two days and greeted with cheers in the courtroom, raises the stakes for the most pressing issue on Britain's green agenda and could encourage further direct action.

Animal Death-Watch: Frog NOT extinct after all

You mean to say scientists and researchers were WRONG about something?! No, say it ain’t so! More about AGW-caused "extinctions" on the warmlist.

'Extinct' Frog Found Alive and Well in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia — A tiny frog species thought by many experts to be extinct has been rediscovered alive and well in a remote area of Australia's tropical north, researchers said Thursday.

The 1.5 inch-long Armoured Mistfrog had not been seen since 1991, and many experts assumed it had been wiped out by a devastating fungus that struck northern Queensland state.

"A lot of us were starting to believe it had gone extinct, so to discover it now is amazing," Hoskin said. "It means some of the other species that are missing could potentially just be hidden away along some of the streams up there."

Large Hadron Collider and Predictions

This week, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated by CERN fired up their 17-mile long particle accelerator again in a series of test runs preceding the much anticipated main experiment--firing two proton streams into each other at near the speed of light. Scientists expect to learn all sorts of things from these ambitious experiments, including whether theorized particles and other dimensions exist.

Of course, there are other dissenting "scientists" (including a "smart" German scientist) who claim that the smart people at CERN will create miniature black holes that will destroy the planet. These folks are cut from the same cloth of scientists who said that setting off the atomic bomb in 1945 would ignite the Earth's atmosphere. And they're also the same "smart ones" who say that manmade CO2 is causing a runaway greenhouse effect on Earth (global warming or manmade climate change), which is also preposterous.

My prediction: We'll still be here after the proton smash experiment at the LHC. We'll still be here and doing fine in 100 years too, and global warming will be tossed into the dustbin of scientific stupidity (probably long before then).
