“Professor James Lovelock, a geo-scientist and author of the Gaia hypothesis, in which the Earth is a quasi-living organism, is one of those who is less optimistic. He believes that a plan B is urgently needed. ‘I never thought that the Kyoto agreement would lead to any useful cut back in greenhouse gas emissions so I am neither more nor less optimistic now about prospect of curbing CO2 compared to 10 years ago. I am, however, less optimistic now about the ability of the Earth’s climate system to cope with expected increases in atmospheric carbon levels compared with 10 years ago,’ he told The Independent. ‘I strongly agree that we now need a ‘plan B’ where a geoengineering strategy is drawn up in parallel with other measures to curb CO2 emissions.’”

Geoengineering – what could possibly go wrong??
rockbend on January 2, 2009 at 10:09 PM
Like I said in the headlines thread: They’re all just beating around the bush, and hiding the plan they really want to release:
Kill All Humans. They’re just waiting for Mom’s Friendly Robot Company to come along so they have an entrepreneur and capitalist to blame it on.

That, or they’ll come up with the plan that Professor Farnsworth came up with and decide that if everyone farts towards the sky at the same time, we’ll move away from the sun thus negating the effect of global warming.

Even as these goons get proven wrong, they continue to spew vile garbage. They are so far from reality, one of the least reality based organizations (the U. N.)is even starting to distance itself from them.
I believe there are legitimate problems (not global warming) but the alarmists are still sucking dollars at a rate that rivals coporate goons.
Rode Werk on January 2, 2009 at 10:14 PM
You know, I’m a graduate student in physics myself, and I really wish the scientific organizations would stop pumping the global warming bandwagon (and other political causes). We’re making ourselves a laughingstock.

I have a masters in Electrical Engineering. I totally agree, alarmists like this give all of the hard sciences a bad name. One problem is that a lot of these so-called experts may be experts in certain fields, but not necessarily in a field that gives them the expertise to be knowledgeable on climatology. In the case of those with the proper background, they are using essentially statistical noise to predict future events — that’s a fool’s game.

Well yeah, that too. But the ones who actually believe in global warming probably know in the back of their minds that the only solution is removing people from the planet. The ones who want to exploit it for their own political gains…yeah, they’re just basically interested in using this to bring about socialism, Marxism really. That’s all they’ve ever wanted, and this is a convenient cause to rally around.
Its fear-mongering of an epic scale.

The supposed climatologists models have a fundamental flaw. They can’t predict shit. The keep running scenarios forward. If their models were any good they should also be able to run them backwards and predict the climate a thousand years ago. So far they have not been able to match their models to what the ice cores are telling them.
Plan B indeed.

No, Professor James Lovelock, that is not the ‘plan B’ that is needed. The ‘plan B’ that is needed is for you to come in to see me for an immediate rescue therapy protocol for your irrational carbophobia that would include, but not be limited to, electroshock treatment and therapeutic doses of Clozapine, Loxapine and Olanzapine with just a dash of Quetiapine thrown in for good measure.

Just wait. It’s coming. As others have noted, radical environmentalism is eerily reminiscent of the discredited eugenics movement. At the heart of both movements was a hatred of humanity disguised as social concern.

One of the basic rules of simulations: use data to predict known quantities first, then and only then extrapolate beyond historical results. However, even then, that extrapolation can be fraught with error.

Everything that man has ever done up to this point has been horrible for Mother Gaia, so now we should decide to bollix up everything on a grand scale purposefully with a “geo-engineering strategy”?
Sounds like a “baby with the bathwater” kind of plan to me, based on flawed assumptions and arrogant thinking.
hillbillyjim on January 2, 2009 at 10:56 PM
Mike, I don’t want to speak for Tim Burton, but I suspect he’s referring to the fact that these global warmists are talking about reducing the population. Tim appears to simply be saying to them, “you first”, which is a completely reasonable position to take, and one I’ve taken countless times.
As a matter of fact, set aside the population control crowd, and just look at any global warming believer… If they think carbon dioxide is the cause, then they ought to do the planet a favor and stop living. This isn’t some sort of “go kill yourselves because I disagree with you” comment, it’s just the next logical step for anyone who claims to be a believer. They should realize that by exhaling, they are contributing to what they claim is a problem… so they should stop.
Nothing new though, sadly.
Exactly. It’s truly sad and frightening that most people still don’t see what’s going on.
And by the way, folks, “population reduction” or the cuter name “population control”, or the even cuter name “family planning” isn’t anything new. I could take the easy road and just point to Planned Parenthood, but I suggest you all read up on the activities of the internationally active UN group UNFPA.

canopfor on January 2, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Tim Burton/Mike D. — I think Tim was saying that the proponent of controlling so-called climate change by reducing the human population should start out with himself. That is a perfectly acceptable thought. He would be a real hero to the agw movement and may even be awarded 72 honorary virgins.
Thw whole liberal/socialist/marxist AGW movement is similar to the thoughts in the ditty “The bells of hell go ding-a-ling-a-ling for you but not for me”.
It is all based on money. The AGW grifters want to separate you from yours. The academic whores want the next grant and will destroy thair own science to get it. The politicians are too stupid to know the science or the truth, but if they can get a buck out of it, long live AGW. If the Goracle really thought the earth was in danger of AGW or otherwise ending as we know it, he wouldn’t be accumulating all that filthy lucre – he would have no need to.

jefferson101 on January 2, 2009 at 11:20 PM
You realize that when a liberal uses phrases like “we must”, or “we need to …”, in order to get their true meaning, one must do the following:
1) Substitute “you” for “we” and
2) add the words “for me” to the end of their statement.
Thus, your comment: “Let’s all die to save Gaea”, when translated from liberal-speak becomes what they really mean:
“You all die to save Gaiea for me”
When you figure out the translation, what libs say makes perfect sense (to them) and is non-hypocritical (in their worldview)

As temperature cools, they are going to get increasingly desperate. We will then be hearing that fossil fuels cause cooling or warming will cause cooling or whatever is happening currently is our fault and no matter if it is cooling or warming it will have some kind of disastrous consequence.
The fact is that interglacial … the period of time when Chicago isn’t under a mile of ice, is the “odd” period. Glaciation is the “normal” condition for the past couple of million years (before that there was no ice at the North Pole in summer and before 14 million years ago, none at the South pole either). Interglacials last about 10K years, glaciations last about 100K. Over the past 5 or 6 cycles, the glacial periods are getting longer. The last one was about 120K years long.

DHMO is a chemical that needs to be banned. It is just evil.
I have been exposed to nasty chemicals like TETRACHLOROETHYLENE however dihydrogen monoxide still effects me today.
The problem with dihydrogen monoxide is its addictive properties, It is almost like I need it to survive. Every time I wake up in the morning I hear it “calling me”.
I am fighting it but not sure of the outcome.
F15Mech on January 3, 2009 at 12:16 AM
As supporting information on the falsemness of AGW: Apparently none – I say apparently none of the academic proponents of AGW have even the faintest familiarity with propagation of error and calibration uncertainty. If even one of those academic whores will show us he knows anything about the error/calibration subject in the real world, I might listen to him.
1. Typical laboratory thermocouple accuracies for a type K chromel/alumel couple are +/- 0.2C in the normal atmoslpheric termperatuyr range. The laboratory calibration ration required by the old MIL 45662A is at least 4 to l which means the reaqding is considered good to +/- 0.8C, go through a field calibration instrument and it becomes 2.2C – 3.2C. These charlatans are dragging in millions or billions of data readings with these general uncertainties and predicting annual termperatue rises of 0.1C. Of course there are other temperature measuring devices, but none as common.
2. These quacks never – I say never- include uncertainties or error bars on their data plots or analyses of variances.
3. They don’t seem to understand that dragging in a gadzillion datapoints does nothing for the precision of the calculated measurement; It justs increases the probability of the measurement, including the error.
4. Kate, over at Small Dead Animals, likes to publish pictures of instrumentation located in the middle of paved parking lots. Even if the readings are rubbish because of location, the readings are more rubbish because of calibration or lack thereof.
And I have some experience in emplacing and servicing remote atmospheric monitoring instruments.

.
How about we raise taxes to 90 percent for everyone and then tell them how to run their lives? Or is that being too honest? Global Warming is simply a smoke-screen politicians and ideologues are using in their bid to take control our society. So from their point of view, what’s not to like?

Before my F15 experience, I worked at a dry-cleaning establishment.
One of the solvents Dry Cleaners use is called PERC. PERC = TETRACHLOROETHYLENE.
So yes I have inhaled perc fumes before. According to the badge I had to wear, PERC fumes were not a problem.
If I am not mistaken in the metal industry PERC would be called MEK.

The funny thing is that the global warming crowd in this article is basically admitting that CO2 is not the cause of any warming – it is clouds, just as many scientists have concluded years ago. If you make clouds, you will reflect sunlight away from the earth and you will lower the earth’s temperature. When the sun enters into an active solar period, less clouds are formed, the temperature rises, and vice versa. Global cooling or warming trends have been linked solidly to solar activity and cloud formation, long before the world ever heard the term SUV.

Old MacDonald had a farm

And on his farm he had some auto workers

With a gimme-gimme here
And a gimme-gimme there
Here a gimme, there a gimme
Everywhere a gimme-gimme

Mr. James Lovelock, hold your breath.

And if one is of a scientific mind there is climateaudit.org but be advised, that site is not an “agenda driven” site so much a it is about attempting to verify various global warming studies (and the trials and tribulations of those attempts to verify). Snark gets deleted there and most of the comments are from people with some scientific background.
There are some lighter threads from time to time and a little sarcasm is tolerated where appropriate but I wouldn’t go there to “bash” warmers as your comments will likely be deleted. But it is a great place to lurk and monitor the progress on debunking the AGW hysteria.

Well of course the planet is alive, and it’s life stream flows beneath us and through us. And we have to save it from that evil corporation and Sephiroth.
This bullcrap has been in pop culture longer than the past couple years.
