Goodbye Global Warming
Only a few weeks ago, the Met Office, an organisation not particularly well known for their ability to accurately predict next week’s weather let alone that of the next decade or century, claimed that temperatures are set to rise by 2014.
Unsurprisingly, for organisations that already firmly believe in the politicised pseudoscience theory of global warming and wish to present evidence to justify their beliefs, it’s not really all that difficult to do.
First you select the outcome you desire – in this case higher mean temperatures in the next couple of decades. Next you take your data (usually carefully hand picked or manipulated in some specific way) and then adjust the output graphs until you obtain your end-goal result – ie. predictions that ‘prove’ temperatures will rise, and thus global warming ‘must’ be happening. Simple.
Gordon Brown in his tenure as Chancellor used similar methods to forecast and present favourable economic growth. The most valued statisticians at the Treasury were those that, regardless of the data, managed to fiddle around with economic models and arrive at the ‘best’ figures – usually 2.5% growth or more.
However, what’s really interesting about the Met Office report is highlighted in an online article by the Guardian. It says the forecast reveals ‘natural shifts in climate will cancel out warming produced by greenhouse gas emissions and other human activity until 2009, but from then on, temperatures will rise steadily’.
So, what exactly does that mean? Well, it’s basically saying that the climate will cool slightly due to ‘natural variations’, meaning that any evidence of rises in temperature caused by us humans will be cancelled out – but that despite this, global warming still exists. How convenient.
For the next few years the global warming pseudoscientists will have no basis for their claims and it’ll all be a matter of blind belief – it’s just that they’re getting their excuses in early.
