Global Warming Archives - David Westerfield

Now that’s a newspaper headline you don’t see every day. I’m not one to jump on the ‘conspiracy’ band-wagon, but this isn’t even conspiratorial: what we are entering into, and what just happened in Copenhagen, is just out in the open, being talked about by leaders and promoted by the media.

Now to be sure, as far as global warming is concerned, the accord they came up with accomplished little more than what Kyoto accomplished: good will toward reducing emissions. The carbon output of 60 developing nations for an entire year, and all they achieved was good-will? That is of course if you believe CO2 to be a toxic substance, you know, the same substance required for … life. I digress.

However, what was clear from Copenhagen is that a network of nations is emerging as having clear control over the affairs of the people they govern throughout the developed and even developing world (something the third world nations were irate about after the Danish text leak revealed something to this effect). There are some very good arguments particularly pertaining to democracy in this article. Here are some choice quotes (my insertions in brackets):

CASTRO MOCKS OBAMA, TOO…

What I think this shows is that all the marketing in the world won’t “save us” at a certain point because at some point everyone has to start looking at facts. The third world countries feel a New Imperialism approaching from the West under the guise of environmentalism (which I believe is the case to a great degree), the Western public is seeing through the facade of global warming science, and there are too many other little conflicts to get anything done. Oh and to top it off, the entire conference carbon output equals that of 60 third world countries … over a year. Way to go guys … that is if you still believe carbon output is affecting the temperature of the globe.

Global Warming and the Rise of the Neo-Malthusians

Well, many of the conspiracy theorists have been right, I hate to say. Except in this instance, these aren’t conspiracies at all. They are just openly talking about their ideas.

Follow me here on the logic train concerning CO2 output and climate change: if global warming due to human interference is a frightening reality, then logically, what is the biggest step that needs to be taken by governments and people around the world to reduce carbon output, if we really want to make an impact at lightening speed? Well, you reduce the number of people. Makes sense right?

That is exactly what is being proposed at the Copenhagen climate change conference in Denmark. China has made a strong case for it, citing their policies as an example. In addition, the Canadian national newspaper is calling for a worldwide one child policy. On a practical level, these are the very things I’ve feared coming as a result of the global warming fear mongering: policies that go way beyond the environment.

Cap and Trade + Data Centers = Bad News for IT

Data Center Regulation Awareness Increasing, Prepare for CO2K

This is an excerpt from a blog entry by a speaker at the 2009 Gartner Data Center Conference in Las Vegas, NV, named Michael Manos. He spoke about how Cap and Trade style legislation is already having a negative impact on the UK’s IT and data center industries. The proposals I’ve heard for regulating data centers, which the government has now declared centers of eco-terrorism due to their extreme carbon output, are startling and will inevitably result in reduced productivity, massive costs, and is all a massive waste of time, especially in light of UEA emails that have leaked about scientists manipulating core data at the center of these assumptions. People are starting to wake up to what this nonsense will entail I think:

My talk centered around the coming Carbon Cap and Trade Regulation and its specific impact on IT organizations and the data center industry. I started my talk with a joke about how excited I was to be addressing a room of tomorrow’s eco-terrorists. The joke went flat and the audience definitely had a fairly serious demeanor. This was reinforced when I asked how many people in the audience thought that regulation was a real and coming concern for IT organizations. Their response startled me.

I was surprised because nearly 85% of the audience had raised their hands. If I contrast that to the response to the exact same question asked three months earlier at the Tier One Research Data Center Conference where only about 5% of the audience raised their hands, its clear that this is a message that is beginning to resonate, especially in the larger organizations.

The Most Interesting Hacked Email from the UEA’s CRU

By David Westerfield

On November 30, 2009

In sorting through the tons of data uncovered by “hackers” (or most likely an insider) from the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit, the collusion among scientists to thwart dissent is clearly established. The data manipulation of the global temperature of the past 100 years and the Medieval period in particular are the most important finds to me, because it shows the warming and cooling of the Earth’s temperature to be natural, not changed by man’s activities or lack thereof.

However, I was alerted to a rather fascinating email within the assortment of hacked emails apparently sent to a distribution list that doesn’t have a lot to do with the environment or global warming in particular, though it certainly includes that in what is discussed. The person(s) who received this email are not made known in the file. I just find it interesting anyone was receiving information from such an organization at all. I’ll just let you read it for yourself. Yes, you can find this information on the internet anywhere. The issue here is the fact that some scientists or researchers or somebody at CRU received this email. We don’t know who necessarily, but someone received it and signed up for regular updates and newsletters.

I have no commentary to add really other than this reads like a sci-fi plot … but no, these people are for real. You can’t make this stuff up … yes, A Global ‘Utopia’ is desired by at least one of the members of the CRU it appears. Do you think it’s a coincidence that the new EU President (a position just created) is calling for the ‘global management of our planet‘? I’m just asking because officials are now openly talking about this stuff. Maybe we should pay attention to what they’re doing and pay attention to what happens at Copenhagen and pay attention to what President Obama does at this meeting.

I realize this email is from six years ago. But the agenda hasn’t changed one iota. And again, the issue here is that any scientists or workers are signed up to receive emails from this kooky organization at all:

Worst Scientific Scandal of our Generation

Climate change: this is the worst scientific scandal of our generation

“The reason why even the Guardian’s George Monbiot has expressed total shock and dismay at the picture revealed by the [climate change] documents is that their authors are not just any old bunch of academics. Their importance cannot be overestimated, What we are looking at here is the small group of scientists who have for years been more influential in driving the worldwide alarm over global warming than any others, not least through the role they play at the heart of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).”
