Michael Crichton Annihilates Al Gore And Global Warming
PBS Video: Michael Crichton on Global Warming with Charlie Rose
Aired August 27, 2007.
Our previous story on global warming fraud reminded me of this Michael Crichton interview from a few years ago. It's a 5-star appearance. Crichton graduated Harvard Medical School, was a published scientist, and was a fellow at the Jonas Salk Institute before becoming a Hollywood writer/producer, so it's not really a fair fight. Al Gore and the entire accepted dogma of man-made global warming (AGW) is obliterated.

Think back to 1982 when both Time and Newsweek ran cover stories suggesting the next ice-age was upon us based on global climate change. We are talking less than 30 years ago, less than the blink of an eye in geologic terms.
The glaciers are melting? Yes, people, they have been for some time now, remember the ice age?
Believe in global warming, believe in the lottery as a savings plan, believe the TARP saved the world! Seriously, global warming? And you have something to do with it? Does that even make a little sense?

The planet is fine. The PEOPLE are fucked. Difference. Difference. The planet is fine. Compared to the people, the planet is doing great. Been here four and a half billion years. Did you ever think about the arithmetic? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. We’ve been here, what, a hundred thousand? Maybe two hundred thousand? And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred years versus four and a half billion. And we have the CONCEIT to think that somehow we’re a threat? That somehow we’re gonna put in jeopardy this beautiful little blue-green ball that’s just a-floatin’ around the Sun?
The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through all kinds of things worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles…hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worlwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages…And we think some plastic bags, and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet…the planet…the planet isn’t going anywhere. WE ARE!
We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Thank God for that. Maybe a little styrofoam. Maybe. A little styrofoam. The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas. A surface nuisance.
And here's another article...the key are the comments...the scientific fraud is already destroying faith in the research...

Global Warming With the Lid Off
Algore, is that you?
Is that the best you can do after Chrichton turned turned the light on you?
You know that obscenity is the crutch of the weak mind.
He uses the Suns output to predict climate on earth. No one else on the planet can do this to the extent and accuracy thahe is able to.
He is no a denier, he is an absolutist and as such absolutely refutes any connection between co2 and climate which I logically agree with and as a carbon life form where can I cash in my carbon chips please Al Gore?

A reanalysis of U.S. surface station temperatures has been performed using the recently WMO-approved Siting Classification System devised by METEO-France’s Michel Leroy. The new siting classification more accurately characterizes the quality of the location in terms of monitoring long-term spatially representative surface temperature trends. The new analysis demonstrates that reported 1979-2008 U.S. temperature trends are spuriously doubled, with 92% of that over-estimation resulting from erroneous NOAA adjustments of well-sited stations upward. The paper is the first to use the updated siting system which addresses USHCN siting issues and data adjustments.
The new improved assessment, for the years 1979 to 2008, yields a trend of +0.155C per decade from the high quality sites, a +0.248 C per decade trend for poorly sited locations, and a trend of +0.309 C per decade after NOAA adjusts the data. This issue of station siting quality is expected to be an issue with respect to the monitoring of land surface temperature throughout the Global Historical Climate Network and in the BEST network.
Today, a new paper has been released that is the culmination of knowledge gleaned from five years of work by Anthony Watts and the many volunteers and contributors to the SurfaceStations project started in 2007.

The battle between CNBC anchor Joe Kernen and environmentalists is escalating on Twitter and over the airwaves.
Kernen, co-host of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” on Friday bashed “enviro-socialists” who are criticizing him, and shortly afterward added, “It is a bona fide cult.”
Kernen’s remarks come as the anchor and his network are under fire from climate advocates. His Twitter exchanges with critics can be viewed here.
A June report by the liberal watchdog group Media Matters for America said more than half of CNBC’s 2013 climate coverage cast doubt on human-induced climate change.
Two other groups — Forecast the Facts and Environmental Action — have launched an online petition criticizing CNBC’s climate coverage.
“Tell Joe Kernen and your other on-air personalities and guests to stop denying climate science and start reporting the facts on the economic risks of fossil-fueled climate change,” states the petition directed at the network’s president.
On Friday, Kernen’s “cult” comment arrived during his interview with John Hofmeister, the former Shell Oil Co. president who now heads the group Citizens for Affordable Energy.
....And Anthony Watts does one better.

Distorted data? Feds close 600 weather stations amid criticism they’re situated to report warming
http://joannenova.com.au/2015/06/if-it-cant-be-replicated-it-isnt-science-bom-admits-temperature-adjustments-are-secret/
The BOM Technical Advisory Forum report is out. Finally there is the black and white admission that the BOM “adjusted” dataset cannot be replicated independently, has not been replicated by any other group, and even more so, that the BOM will not provide enough information for anyone who wants to try.
As we have said all along, the all new ACORN wonder-data was not created with the scientific method. Adjustments to Australian temperature data were done with a black box mystery technique that only the sacred guild at the BOM are allowed to know. Far from being published and peer reviewed, the methods are secret, and rely on — in their own words — a “supervised process” of “expert judgment” and “operator intervention”. In other words, a BOM employee makes their best guess, ruling in or out the “optimal” choices, making assumptions that are not documented anywhere.
It’s a “trust us” approach. Would we let an ASX company audit their own books? Would you buy shares in such a company, or let it inform national policy on billion dollar schemes?
Here is the entire section on replication from page 9 and 10 (below). This is what any semi-skilled PR operative would write if they were trying to justify keeping their methods secret. My translations included.
