Meterologist Joe Bastardi – About that ‘Pause…’

Was AL gore near South DakotaJoe Bastardi, along with Joe D’Aleo, were the impetus behind the creation of The Weather Channel but have since moved on to less tin-foil-hat infested waters.   (MSNBC and GE Bought it years ago to mainstream and legitimize the progressive scheme of climate crisis, and no doubt the political funding mechanisms set up to address their alarmist agenda.)

Since then, Joe and Joe have continued to do what they love–investigate and report on the science of weather and climate and its real effect on us–and taken their lumps for opposing the politicization of weather and its step children, Global Warming, and Climate Change, and now…”The Pause.”

The Pause is the past 17 years of flat and now declining temperatures, the global failure of their “settled science” climate modeling and dire predictions to come close to anything resembling the truth.  To explain the Pause, the PR climate modelers have stepped in beside the egg-faced politically “motivated scientists” who live well on the taxpayer-fed milk of the cash cow to re-brand the scheme (yet again) in an effort to explain away how “udderly” wrong they have been about…mostly everything.

Into this “Pause” wades Joe Bastardi who, on ICECAP.us (I am also linking to the Patriot Post.us copy as it is easier to read), observed that the warmists who had pilloried him just a few years ago for pointing out that the factors he was observing would create a cooling trend are now using his factors in their defense of their own theories.

This article caught my eye. Its authors examine reasons for the pause in global warming, and coincidentally, the sun, the oceans and stochastic events show up. I say coincidentally because that’s exactly what I opined would cause cooling, and got roundly trashed for by global warming proponents, seven years ago on The O’Reilly Factor in what I termed the triple crown of cooling.

This article on the matter is from May 2010. The idea was first presented in 2007. The factors contributing to the triple crown of cooling : 1.) oceanic cycles; 2.) solar cycles; and 3.) a wild card: volcanic activity.

Since 2005, temperatures have done this:

How do you deny this? The aforementioned article doesn’t; its authors simply try to say the heat is “hiding in the ocean.” Yet we see Dr. Bill Gray from the 1970s opining that this is what happens naturally in his ideas on the Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is summed up nicely in this latest paper. (Translated: When it cools in one part of the ocean, it warms in another, and vice versa). I guess the authors of the above study have not read, or dismissed, Dr. Gray’s ideas – odd given what Dr. Gray predicted in the ’70s turned out to be right.

 

Basically, they are admitting we are right. By acknowledging the sun, the oceans and other non-human based events are causing this, they are simply admitting that these control whatever CO2 is purported to do. No one denies the climate is fluid. No one denies CO2 does play some role in the magnificent setup that makes life possible on Earth and its contribution to the estimated 33 degree Celsius of warming greenhouse gasses add to the temperature of the planet. (Water vapor being 100 times more prominent than CO2, carbon dioxide’s part varies from .4 to .7 of the warming.) But there is no tipping point, nor is one even truly possible given the nature of the entire system. But in showing the explanation for why the warming has paused, and deflecting it to other areas, they are: a.) now telling us something they did not tell us before, which of course means we have spent 17 years taking precautions against a dire forecast they issued that has not materialized; b.) they are admitting that nature can control what input man has; and c.) they are listing the very reasons I brought up seven years ago, and became an object of targeted attacks by many, as the reason the pause has taken place.

So what happens when we continue to be right? Where will the blame be placed then? When does the statute of limitations run out on what has been a huge anchor on our nation?

My forecast remains the same: That as measured by objective satellite, the global temperature by 2030 will return to where it was in 1978. It’s intuitive that the sun, oceans and stochastic events all have much more influence than a gas increasing at 1.8 parts per million a year, with the increase yearly a smaller percentage of the total (as the total grows, its percentage does not unless the increase grows). The fact is, it’s boxed in by all that is natural around it, and that’s the message of the so-called pause (and of late, the reversal).

Nature drives the bus, and it’s taking us on a trip to someplace cold, CO2 dreams and climate alarmists be damned.

Long term, solar cycles and ocean temperatures suggest a long cooling trend, possibly to the extent of a Dalton or Maunder minimum.  That means that we need to ramp up fossil fuel capacities, heating oil, natural gas, propane, motor fuels, and so on, as well as prepare for extended winter impacts on travel, commerce, and every aspect of transportation.

We need to stop wasting money on windmills and solar company bankruptcies and start directing those misused resources at energy and infrastructure that will be of some use.  We need a ‘Pause’ in AGW hysteria.  We need pipelines, refineries, and instead of giving a few hundred billion to some Obama donor who has a state in Kiss my ass solar and blow it out my ass wind, we need to ensure our infrastructure can withstand sustained cooling periods.

This isn’t some political game. Refusing to act will cost people their lives. Long term cold is far more dangerous to the economy, the people, and agriculture than a degree or two of warming. And I’m not asking you to hand out money to anyone in any energy sector.  Just stop wasting it on your scam and get the hell out of the way. Free thinking motivated people and the market will take care of the rest, no taxpayer-funded financing required.

And it will create millions of good jobs we actually need, increase tax revenue, and improve the economy.

Or you can keep lying about how the globe is going to heat up and we are gooing to die because of a fraction of a percentage of a gas that also happens to be an aerial fertilizer for every living plant on that globe.
