REMINDER, LORD MONCKTON WILL BE GLENN BECK’S ONLY GUEST ON FRIDAY AT 5

Senate Testimony of Sec. Chu Refuted
Washington, DC 10/28/2009 03:40 PM GMT (TransWorldNews)

The Senate testimony of Sec. Chu is predicated upon false assumptions, points out Christopher Monckton in a succinct letter to Senators posted by the Science and Public Policy Institute [SPPI], a Washington DC –based NGO.

The letter points out that Chu’s testimony cites the now-outdated 2007 Climate Assessment Report of the IPCC and a subsequent but also now-outdated MIT study, saying global warming by 2100 would be 7-11 Fº. “These excessive estimates are founded solely on computerized guesswork,” says Christopher Monckton, former adviser to UK Prime Minister Thatcher and current SPPI policy adviser.

Monckton reviews a number of recent papers having appeared in the peer-reviewed literature that put the man-made warming scare to rest, and render regulation of CO2 emissions needless and blindingly fatuous.

Particular attention is given to the recent paper of Lindzen and Choi (2009). Using direct measurements of outgoing radiation, the two researchers found that the IPCC models get both the science and their “predictions” wrong. Monckton resents a series of IPPC model graphs and compares them to the one produced from real measurements. “The IPPC model predictions,” reports Monckton, “actually trend in a direction opposite to that of the graph from observed reality.”

Concludes Monckton, “By patient, painstaking measurement, the two researchers have trumped the computer models’ unanimously erroneous guesswork, and have definitively ended the debate over the question how much warming CO2 causes. Therefore, Secretary Chu’s declaration that the ‘threat’ from ‘climate change’ is ‘grave’ and that current levels of CO2 emission are ‘unsustainable’ has no scientific justification.”

The letter further informs Senators that “Even if, per impossibile, the UN’s exaggerated estimate of the warming effect of CO2 were right, it is trivial to demonstrate that reducing carbon emissions would be the least cost-effective use of taxpayers’ money ever devised.” This is so because to forestall just 1 Fº of warming would require the entire world to forego all carbon emissions for more than 200 years. Thus, “Sec. Chu’s implication that reducing CO2 emissions via the Copenhagen Treaty or via the 900-page Climate Bill now before the Senate would make a significant difference to the climate is accordingly wrong. The Bill, even if fully implemented, would make no measurable difference.”

The letter concludes by informing the Senators of Sec. Chu’s “regrettably one-sided view of the current market for so-called “renewable” technologies,” his withholding information of China’s true energy investments and the failure of CO2 trading schemes in every instance tried. Says Monckton, “The Energy Secretary has not yet mastered his portfolio. It is high time he did, or the consequences for taxpayers will be as costly as they are pointless.”

Your fear is legitimate, and bears keeping a close eye on. However, I have never talked to a Constitutional scholar, even a liberal one, that would claim a treaty trumps the Constitution. But you never know what rationalizations might be made. For example, during the coming currency crisis, will the progressives be happy to trade sovereignty for currency support?

When things start to cascade down, the Constitution may be our only safety net.

There will be no more checks and balances! Just Unpaid checks made by the unbalanced that we as Americans have to pay for. Please someone tell me I’m wrong?

The Founders would not have put a poison pill in the Constitution that would allow for some rogue president to make a treaty with another country making us subjects again.

People’s worries are justified however, and we have already seen the creeping of the rights infringement by treaty, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act is one example.

I just picked up my Popular Mechanics Magazine and there is an article that I think our Global alarmist really should look over. In the Nov 2009 issue , page twenty, there’s an article that ties into my previous cow fart comment. (Concerning the left loonies wanting to tax farmers who have cows because their farts have methane) (No seriously, stop laughing) Any way, It’s called ‘What seeps below’ and it’s been discovered that in the sea bed there is more methane gas trapped there than all other fossil fuels throughout the world combined! And that the scientist have found over 250 columns of bubbles spewing ….wait for it… Da da dummmmmmm. Methane! Most of the methane doesn’t break through the surface however, but remains mixed in with the ocean water. But Wait! There’s more! If you order now…. Uh excuse me I got carried away. Here’s my point.

Now remember how people pollution has been blamed for the acidification of the worlds oceans? OOPS! Turns out that we are not doing what the “Scientist”, have been stating, as a God sure fact after all! Mother nature is to blame!And apparently there’s another little corker of a fact that seems to be making it a problem for the global warming chicken littles. These Methane columns may be whats causing the arctic ice to melt!OOPS! AGAIN! That’s right! These waters that are saturated with Methane are the same currents heading toward the ice.

Son of a gun.

Now let me ask you. Why aren’t these new discoveries being made widely known?

Obaaaaaaama! Sheep are not very bright!

Are you talking about Obama?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA A BWA BWA BWA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHa…wheeze …wheeez….

OH ….Ohh……My lordy. You had me there for a second Dean. A centrist. Look. Look ,there’s a tear running down my eye.

One good thing though about when The left makes predictions. You know what to invest in. So do they. I wonder how many ‘green’ people and ‘green’ companies have investments in ‘Green’ products? I always say follow the money. I forget the billionaires name who wants solar power to be the newest answer. He’s got hundreds of millions invested of course. But it’s all for the good of the earth, right?
Funny fact time. Since the loony left has been predicting the ICE MELTING AND FLOODING THE WORLDS SHORELINE SCAM, beachfront properties have been selling like mad. I would love to know if it’s just liberals taking advantage of the panic they are creating or is it republicans depending on the track record of the left predicted disasters? Time to invest. I think I’ll by some Euros and Yen and invest them in Nuke Power Plants.
