This week, the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is releasing its latest report, the “Working Group II Contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report.” Like its past reports, this one predicts apocalyptic consequences if mankind fails to give the UN the power to tax and regulate fossil fuels and subsidize and mandate the use of alternative fuels. But happily, an international group of scientists I have been privileged to work with has conducted an independent review of IPCC’s past and new reports, along with the climate science they deliberately exclude or misrepresent.
The IPCC's Latest Report Deliberately Excludes And Misrepresents Important Climate Science

Are you guys this disbelieving of all science or just climate science and if so, how do you pick and chose what scientific theories to believe or not?
When it is politically motivated, I question everything.
Science is great. Science is accurate, if done correctly.
This is more emotional than science.
your right...it is emotional...emotional that these people have to be evacuated from their island country
www.earth-policy.org...
and it's emotional here too
www.pri.org...
and here is another island nation under threat
news.bbc.co.uk...
of course, all of this is politically motivated....right?....right?
Show me the proof that man caused it and it is not a normal fluctuation of the planet.
You can't.
Fail!
Try again!
China is working on cutting back on their pollution and going to renewable resources. Link

Like how man in his 'infinite' wisdom built his cities along the coasts of the world.
And here it its at least 2000 years later they all sit under water.
The 'industrialization' of mankind didn't begin until the last 200 or so years.
I wonder what 'caused' that.
We know the authors of the IPCC’s reports have financial conflicts of interest, since the government bureaucracies that select them and the UN that oversees and edits the final reports stand to profit from public alarm over the possibility that global warming will be harmful. The authors of the NIPCC series have no such conflicts. The series is funded by three private family foundations without any financial interest in the outcome of the global warming debate.
Heartland’s report was written under the auspices of the “Nongovernmental International Panel of Climate Change” (NIPCC). If you read that sentence too quickly, you could easily confuse it with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). That confusion is intentional.
The IPCC was founded in 1988 to bring together the world’s top climate researchers—it’s like The Avengers for science—and have them summarize the current state of knowledge about how climate is changing. The IPCC’s fourth assessment report earned the organization a Nobel Prize, won jointly with Al Gore in 2007. The IPCC’s fifth assessment report is currently being released in sections.
This Heartland NIPCC report presents an alternative reality for climate science. Just as Conservapedia offers its readers comforting information reinforcing predetermined views, the NIPCC gives self-styled climate “skeptics” a fig leaf for their rejection of standard science. While the IPCC analyzes the issue using relevant peer-reviewed science, the NIPCC offers the tiniest slice of information possible, cherry-picked factoids out of context and without regard to the overall picture.
The danger in the Heartland Institute's mass mailing is that some K-12 teachers may mistake what they see for real science. K-12 teachers teach a wide range of subjects in which they have variable experience and expertise. As climate science is incorporated into courses, many teachers find themselves looking for information to use in class. And here, delivered right to their mailbox, is Heartland's report dressed up to look like a real scientific assessment from that group...what was the name, again? NIPCC? IPCC? Are they different?
The Heartland Institute is an American conservative and libertarian[2] public policy think tank based in Chicago, which states that it advocates free market policies.[3][4][5][6] The Institute is designated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit by the Internal Revenue Service and has a full-time staff of 31,[7] including editors and senior fellows,[8] as well as 222 unpaid policy advisors.[9] Heartland's 990 form in 2011[10] reported revenues of $4.7 million. The Institute was founded in 1984 and conducts research and advocacy work on issues including government spending, taxation, healthcare, education, tobacco policy, hydraulic fracturing[11] global warming, information technology, and free-market environmentalism.wiki
Man built his cities close to water for farming and travel.
Look to China where they are already building ghost cities presumably for resettlement. Nothing really new here.

I have had that damn 'polar vortex' swinging down into Pennsylvania wreaking havoc on my vertebrae on three separate occasions this year. We just got 3 inches of snow and ice, tomorrow will be 58 degrees. It's not normal.
Many of the natural disasters taking place are on a scale I've personally never witnessed or rarely read about. You can see the changes. I won't sit and argue that industrialization isn't playing a role in it, I see what's happening to the oceans, our land and our forests but I'd wager this change is more cyclic and less man made driven.
Either way, something's got to give.

This is how I see the myth of Global-Climate-Weather-Snow-Warm-Cloud-Change-Tax.
Imagine an island.
On this island is a village. It also has a volcano.
Now the volcano started erupting.
The village elders got together and went "what the heck!"
They went to the villagers and said, "If you give us all your valuables, the volcano gods will stop and they will be happy again."
If the volcano stops, win!
If the volcano continues, then the offering were not enough, and the villagers will have to cough up more.
So right now the village elders are making noise.
Many people are ready to line up and throw the elders their valuables.
Some of us, we aren't too sure about the honesty of the village elders.
But we get yelled at by the rest of the villagers because they don't want to anger the volcano gods.

So it must really be all about money then.
Just as I suspected.
And I notice the old "global warming" buzzword is gone and replaced with "climate change".
Big money to be made with this whole debate.
The "scientists" are not convincing me.
Hard to fight Mother Nature that has 1 billion times the strength of any group of people.
But She is having a tough time of it I think !
