Trump Energy Department tells staff not to use phrase ‘climate change’

n the early-mid 1970’s, following a series of stingingly cold winters, the climate changers spoke of global cooling and a future ice age. They were wrong then as they are now. All politics.

Utter twaddle, Mark. It is possible, though, that the ever increasing concentration of “greenhouse gases” headed off a cooling trend. However, that in no way minimizes the problems attended with global warming.

Frankly, atmospheric dynamics, including heat transfer into outer space, is too complex for fallen man to understand.

Sure, Mark, make it all sound so mysterious- perhaps we should just pray to the gods for deliverance. The fact is, well-trained minds are capable of understanding the physics behind global warming. Yes, models will necessarily not fully reflect reality, and the dynamics of earth’s atmosphere are indeed complex. But it doesn’t take Einstein to understand that if you input more heat (enthalpy) into a system, temperature will increase, particularly when you do so while decreasing albedo by cutting down forests.

One should ask this question: “why is it necessary to pollute our beautiful blue skies with unsightly chemtrails?

Get a clue, sir.

Man can influence climate artificially – and it may provide unpredictable, grievously detrimental outcomes.

We already are.

Yes, why is the country not protesting daily about the harmful effects of the chemtrails above our skies. Silence from all around. And yet, there they are on a daily basis spraying those toxic chemicals down onto us. Ive counted up to 9 criss-crossing trails at one time. Disgusting.

Well, the climate is changing, but it’s hardly obvious. That the weather changes is obvious from day to day and year to year — you don’t even need to measure it accurately to remember you had more snow this year than last, and so on. What is not so obvious is that climate which is made of averaged weather factors over long periods of time — 30 years perhaps — is changing in any significant way. It can’t be obvious because the differences in average temperatures, for example, are measured in hundredths of a degree. No one is sensitive enough or has a memory good enough to claim that climate change is “obvious”.

So what do they do? They trust without question what some ‘scientist’ says who has never correctly predicted the change in average temperatures over even ten years, let alone thirty. They believe that these ‘scientists’ can accurately measure changes in average temperatures worldwide over the past century even though the alleged changes involve differences so tiny that they are overwhelmed by the measurement uncertainties. And they never wonder why even given those uncertainties in the data, these same ‘scientists’ feel compelled to cook the data by systematically ‘adjusting’ the earlier temperature averages downward while ‘adjusting’ the more recent temperatures upward, thereby ‘proving’ the climate is warming — and not by just a little bit, but by enough to threaten total disaster if we fail to halt CO2-producing industrial civilization now.

Ms. Geller reads the situation intelligently and correctly.
