Cycles Within Cycles: The Unquiet Climate

It is folly to talk about "climate change" when the climate is always changing and chaotic. Further, it is folly to claim that "the science is in" or "the debate is settled" when in fact the science has barely begun to come in, and the debate is but in the earliest stages.

Dr Akasofu, experienced analyst with the International Arctic Research Center, points out that the temperature have been rising steadily at a trend rate of 0.5°C per century since the end of the little ice age in the 1700s (when the Thames River would freeze over every winter; it last froze over in 1804). On top of the trend are oscillations that last about thirty years in each direction:

1882 – 1910 Cooling
1910 – 1944 Warming
1944 – 1975 Cooling
1975 – 2001 Warming

The green arrow in Figure 1 points to the situation today with temperature leveling off. The pattern suggests that the world has entered a period of slight cooling until about 2030, obviously quite bearish for temperatures in the medium term. Though not so for the carbon-credit market itself, since that appears to move completely independently of the climate.

....The IPCC is strongly supported by government funding, scientists in the media, famous ex-politicians, celebrities, multiple scientific committees, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Normally this would be an exceptionally persuasive mix, but the ability of large bureaucracies to influence planetary cycles has a poor track record. Now that the bull market trend of the late 1990s has clearly been broken, bearish analysts like Dr Akasofu have been gaining more respect. _JoNova_via_ImpactLab

Trust the Obama / Pelosi / Boxer reich to attempt to completely overturn the US economy on the basis of "climate change". Trust the arrogant unthinking fools to strip the country of its ability to provide vital energy and power to homes, industries, and commercial enterprises. Trust them to bring about destructive change, built upon ignorance and deception. They possess nothing else.
