More Governments Fudging Climate Data
Satellite data has found that the mean global temperature has been sitting on a plateau for more than 18 years now, which is in stark contrast to official government numbers. Just this week, NOAA reported that, at 1.33°F (0.74°C) above average, last month was the fourth warmest April recorded globally, and 2015 so far is the hottest on record.
But as we've documented, the agency is currently mired in allegations of misconduct after it was discovered that historical data was manipulated to make post 1970s/1980s warming appear more alarming. And more and more foreign government agencies are engaging in the practice.
Last year, "The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (ABM) was ... forced to admit it alters the temperatures recorded at almost all the official weather stations in Australia," H. Sterling Burnett with The Heartland Institute wrote in September. Now, "Switzerland joins a growing list of countries whose temperature measurements have been adjusted to show greater warming than actually measured by its temperature instrument," Burnett revealed this week. Interestingly, he notes, "Even with fudged data, governments have been unable to hide the fact winters in Switzerland and in Central Europe have become colder over the past 20 years, defying predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other climate alarmists." Ironically, even data tampering can't hide one inconvenient fact: Temperature trends are defying the science community's predictions.

Where Does the Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?
Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better! If you've read his book you will agree, this is a good summary.
PLIMER: "Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland. Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are
trying to suppress - it’s that vital chemical compound that every
plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us
humans and all animal life.
I know....it's very disheartening to realize that all of the
carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the
inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric
grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green
Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green
cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a
brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat,
vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on
your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00
light bulbs.....well, all of those things you have done have all gone
down the tubes in just four days.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four
days - yes, FOUR DAYS - by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased
every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.
And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out
this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should
mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines
in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than
the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over One year - think about it.
Of course, I shouldn't spoil this 'touchy-feely tree-hugging'
moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the
well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps
happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect
climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud,
but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the
western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to
reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it
happens every year.
Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping
carbon tax on you, on the basis of the bogus 'human-caused'
climate-change scenario.
Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention 'Global Warming'
anymore, but just 'Climate Change' - you know why? It’s because the
planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global
warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.
And, just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions
Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposed on you that will
achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any
volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.
But, hey, relax......give the world a hug and have a nice day!"
As DAESH over ran Ramadi in IRAQ, Obama told the Coast Guard that Global Warming is the greatest threat to our National Security.
We have a Clown Car government!
