In my chosen profession, upon
occasion we would use the services of a real estate appraiser to determine the
value of a piece of property. The greater trained, professional appraisers
had a designation of MAI after their name. I forgot what the MAI stood
for, but the joke on our side of the profession was that it stood for
"MADE AS INSTRUCTED". If there was a
Purchase and Sale agreement that existed on the property at the time the
appraisal was being conducted, it was amazing how close the appraisal came to
the sales price shown on the Purchase and Sale Agreement, thus the
moniker, "MADE AS INSTRUCTED".
Well that is exactly what we have in
the world of environmentalists and environmental studies, like global
warming. I give the parameters or the results of what I want to see in the
study to the researchers and amazingly the study substantiates my parameters and
the desired results. And they call it "Best Available
Science", but in reality, it makes a mockery of real
science.
A recent heading of an article in a
Washington State Newspaper went like this:
"CLIMATE CHANGE AFFECTING
REGION, STUDY SAYS"
So we checked out the study on how
climate change was going to affect the Evergreen State and we found it was the
usual fare of "warming" is going to cause the sea level to rise. The snow
pack will be less so hydro-electric power, fresh water for cities and
agriculture could be severely impacted. Our forests will dry up, wild
animals will die and Oh, let's not forget that we are going to
have "EXTREME WEATHER". You can see and read the study at https://www.ecy.wa.gov/climatechange/effects.htm.
Jay Manning, Director
Washington State
Department of Ecology
Now this study was requested by Jay
Manning, the Director of the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE).
And who did he pick to do the study but none other than the Climate
Leadership Initiative (CLI). Here is CLI's mission statement from
their website: https://climlead.uoregon.edu/.
(Please note the affiliation with the University of Oregon, a
bastion of radical environmentalism and
environmentalists.)
CLI
MISSION STATEMENT: "The Climate Leadership
Initiative (CLI) is an educational, research, and technical assistance
consortium aimed at increasing public understanding of the risks and
opportunities posed by global warming and enhancing climate protection policy
and program development."
".....enhancing climate protection policy and program
development." MADE-AS-INSTRUCTED. The "FIX" is
in.
We dug a little deeper and we found
that CLI was also affiliated with, yep, you guessed it, "The
Institute for A Sustainable Environment", another environmental group,
also affiliated with the University of Oregon. So we went to their
website: https://www.uoregon.edu/~enviro/ and
what did we find, a covey of radical environmentalists and sustainable
development planners. The term "Sustainable
Development" came right out of the United Nations Rio Summit on
international social and environmental concerns, that ultimately resulted in
Agenda 21. You can learn anything you ever wanted to know about this
UN-sponsored, socialist doctrine at:
Agenda 21 has infiltrated every level
of government land use and social planning, in every corner of America,
including our liberal colleges and it was never ratified as a treaty.
Government and academia put their stamp-of-approval on it and your vote
doesn't count. The whole agenda is unconstitutional on its face, but they
don't care.
So Washington State's Department of
Ecology (DOE) retains a research and study group (CLI) to study the effects of
global warming on Washington State, a study group that receives federal dollars
and large grants to "study" global warming. A study group that has made up
its mind that man-caused global warming is an absolute fact and authors a
study with that bias permeating every page. "Good Lord,
the sky is falling and humans perpetrated the dastardly
deed", they say. "We've got to act now!
This is an emergency so we must pass some more laws to protect us from global
warming!" Poppy cock!
Is there much debate over whether the
Earth is warming a little? No! But there is a great deal of debate
on what is causing the warming. The radical environmental alarmists would
have you believe that the emissions (CO2) from
those evil petro-chemical machines, designed and operated by "man", are the
root cause. But there are many studies that show the Sun is heating us up
and that global warming is not being caused by man-made CO2 at all. None
of their computer models take into account that one blast from an exploding
volcano can send their models off the scale, in the other direction. You
can't predict a volcanic eruption and that is one of the variables in their
equations they can't program into their computer models, even though a major
eruption tends to occur every 100 years or so. The energy output of
the Sun is also a variable that is too wide to program into their models with
any degree of accuracy. So their computer models are what we call
WAGS. Wild Ass Guesses. And Al Gore's movie "An
Inconvenient Truth" is in reality "A Convenient
Lie" to propagandize a falsehood. See John Stossel's article
"A Convenient Lie" at: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/07/a_convenient_lie.html.
Remember after the Katrina Hurricane
in New Orleans, that was supposedly caused by global warming, the so-called
weather scientists predicted that 2006 would be even worse for hurricanes than
2005. The record exposed that prediction as grossly false. What
makes you think that the global-warming alarmist's computer models are any
more accurate than a daily weather report that is only good for about two
hours? Why do you suppose we get a weather report every day? How can
a 100-year forecast of a computer model for global warming, with more variables
than the weather, be any more accurate than a daily weather report? It is
ludicrous! Here's how it works:
You have
V1+V2+V3+V4+V5+V6+V7+V8+V9+V10 and you plug all these variables into a
computer. What do you get? There are so many variables that the
environmentalists tweak it to get "Made-As-Instructed Global
Warming" = "More grant money from government to study
global warming". "V" is equal to a "variable" that
can vary from "here" to "there". Change the variable and the answer
changes. Change several variables and the answers dance all over the
place. Any credible scientists or mathematician knows that the more
variables there are in the "model" (equations) the
less accurate the answer, or prediction. It is was scientists call a
"dynamic" system and dynamic systems are very hard to predict because there are
so many variables.
In any event, the outcome of all this
"crock of rotting fecal matter" is that DOE is now
going to promulgate new laws and ordinances under the Washington Administrative
Code (WAC) to take the government and the "people" down the road to global
warming oblivion, NO MATTER WHAT IT COSTS in dollars and lost freedoms, based on
nothing more than a "weather report" that is only good for two hours, or at
best, a few days. Remember, just 20 years ago the computer models of
these same alarmists, were forecasting global cooling.
So is this DOE/CLI global
warming study "MADE AS
INSTRUCTED", or is it a case of the "FOX GUARDING THE HENHOUSE"?
Or perhaps what it really is, is "THE
INMATES ARE IN CONTROL OF THE ASYLUM".
We have been taken over by a bunch of
lily-livered, wet-behind-the-ears, snotty nosed, over-educated, slimy bunch of
brainwashed college kids that wouldn't recognize a "CS" (common
sense) if it was staring them in the face. All they know is
that there is money to be made (our tax money)
studying global warming and other environmental insanity. And
they took us over without a shot being fired, while all we do is
walk around with a blindfold pulled over our heads. When will the
blindfolds come off?
If you want to get a different
perspective on global warming, read the attached Guest Editorial that appeared
in the Seattle Times on December 21, 2005, written by me. Perhaps armed
with a layman's common sense and broader view, you won't be so quick to jump on
the global warming bandwagon.
