Global warming is not going away. Vice President Al Gore’s
infamous words, “The planet has a fever,” referring to global warming, has been
met many times with the planet’s natural and cyclical climate change response
of frigid temperatures, ice, and snow.
A term has been coined, the “Gore effect,” reflecting the
2004 event when a global warming rally held by VP Al Gore was met by bitter
cold weather. And it repeated in Australia in 2006. Mother Nature prepared snow
and frigid weather in 2013 for global warming protesters in D.C. Environmental
activists at Yale attempted to hold a global warming rally in 2015, but had to cancel
due to “unfavorable weather conditions and other logistical issues.”
Members of the “Keep It in the Ground” anti-fracking activist
group in Denver, Colorado were met this week with temperatures in the low
twenties during their protest against fossil fuel drilling on public lands. Randy
Hildreth wrote, “While it is clear that the national activist groups behind
these efforts are not abandoning their goal to ban fracking, they picked a day
to protest the use of fossil fuels when most Coloradoans are likely more
thankful than ever for the affordable energy provided by domestic energy
development.” https://energyindepth.org/mtn-states/bitter-cold-freezes-out-anti-fossil-fuel-protest/
Reducing one’s carbon footprint by taking all energy savings
steps possible, solar panels, geothermal energy heating and cooling, low energy
bulbs, caulking, turning the thermostat down, reducing consumption in general,
has been an issue raised and preached by the climate change guru Al Gore.
According to a recent article, citing data from Tennessee
Center for Policy Research and the Energy Information Administration, the Gore
residence uses “an average of 17,768 kWh per month – 1,638 kWh more energy per
month than before the renovations. By comparison, the average American
household consumes 11,040 kWh in an entire year, according to the Energy
Information Administration.” http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/2153179/Al-Gores-electricity-bill-goes-through-the-insulated-roof.html
Good stewardship of soil, air, and water, and pollution
reduction and mitigation are great ideas and we support them. Cleaning up the
Ganges, the holy river, before it dumps trillions of cubic meters of trash and
raw sewage into the ocean, would be a good start. Conservation of natural
resources is very important and humans everywhere agree. http://www.smh.com.au/national/the-ganges-holy-river-from-hell-20140806-100xz9.html
But the climate change industry based on reduction of man-made
CO2, the gas of plant life, is a very profitable ruse worth trillions of
dollars for global elites. Not giving up on the climate change fear-mongering effort,
the Oscar winning author of “An Inconvenient Truth,” has announced the sequel
to his documentary which will debut at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2016/dec/09/al-gore-inconvenient-truth-sequel-sundance
Engaging the church to influence people into believing that global
warming is real, the activist Pope Francis announced in September that “global
warming is a sin and man can atone by recycling and carpooling,” by stopping
deforestation, not polluting rivers, protecting the soil, not destroying the
bio diversity of the planet, as if reading a canned U.N. Agenda 2030 script. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2016/09/01/pope-francis-global-warming-sin-man-can-atone-recycling-car-pooling/
The Vatican’s Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the advisor to
the Pope, has concluded that “global climate change is real and is caused, at
least in significant part, by human activity.” Catholic.org stated in a recent
post that “new priests [are] to learn about global warming as part of formation.”
Why would a priest who is not a scientist need to learn about alleged global
warming? “The established community of experts agrees with frightful consensus
that the planet is warming because of human activity. And while nature may play
a role in the natural heating of the planet, it is known that the Earth’s
temperature is dynamic, humans are clearly responsible for much of the present
warming.” And the public’s opinion is being manipulated by climate change skeptics
on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry. “The fossil fuel industry funds
nearly all of the climate change skeptics, going so far as to commission
questionable studies, to financing think tanks, and even paying individual
bloggers.” http://www.catholic.org/news/green/story.php?id=72433
According to this Catholic blog, the church has a duty to
care for people and the environment. And I thought that the church’s mission
was to care for the salvation of our souls, not for environmental stewardship,
a concept pushed by U.N.’s Agenda 2030.
The blog continues in an Armageddon manner, “The Earth’s
temperatures are spiking faster than at any time in history. The speed of the
warming is so great, it is fueling extinctions and other crisis. Natural
selection, evolution, and adaptation cannot keep up with the pace of rapid
change.”
And the Vatican said, because of the “emerging planetary crisis” on the “ecological question,” all Christians need an “ecological conversion.” All future priests will then become advocates
of this ecological question called global warming, “promoters of an appropriate
care for everything connected to the protection of creation….”

Priestly Vocation,” http://www.clerus.va/content/dam/clerus/Ratio%20Fundamentalis/The%20Gift%20of%20the%20Priestly%20Vocation.pdf
Eric Worrall quotes in his blog the passage describing the role of the new
priest in the global warming proselytization of his flock. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2016/12/10/catholic-church-new-priests-will-be-expected-to-preach-global-warming/
Dr. Ken Haapala, President of Science and Environmental
Policy Project, discussed in this week’s publication the Charney Report of 1979
to the National Research Council. CO2 and greenhouse gases warm up the
atmosphere but are generally beneficial – CO2 is the gas of plant life.
Atmospheric water vapor was proposed by global climate modelers as a potential second
cause of global warming.
Comprehensive and independent data of atmospheric
temperatures gathered from weather balloons are now available, dating back to December
1978. These data reveal that, “In general, the models overestimated atmospheric
warming by 2.5 times and by 3 times over the
tropics, where the water vapor warming should be more pronounced.” http://www.sepp.org/twtwfiles/2016/TWTW12-10-16.pdf
Global warming “consensus” is not real science and global
climate computer models are questionable. Scientists should use and compare
reliable sources of information, independently and correctly gathered data, valid
studies over long periods of time, and accurate measurements, not manufactured or
manipulated statistics to fit the already-decided narrative and conclusion.
Haapala believes that the EPA did not produce data to
justify the finding that “greenhouse gas emissions endanger human health and
welfare, … instead relied on three lines of evidence: 1) understanding of the
physics of greenhouse gases; 2) a questionable study that late twentieth
century warming was unusual; and 3) global climate models. The evidence is
woefully incomplete.”
Additionally, “any warming of
the surface is not the same as a warming of the atmosphere, and can be highly
influenced by other human activities such as change in land use, change in
instrument locations, and change in instrument types.”
The global warming advocates
told us that polar bears were disappearing due to global warming; children were
terrified in schools; solitary polar bears were depicted floating on tiny melting
ice floes even though polar bears are very good long distance swimmers. It
turned out that their numbers actually increased five-fold.
A study lead by Steve Albon of
the James Hutton Institute in Scotland found that “over the past 16 years, the
weight of adult reindeer in Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic has dropped by 12
percent, likely due to global warming.” AFP quoted Steve Albon, “Twelve percent may
not sound very much, but given how important body weight is to reproduction and
survival, it’s potentially huge.”

But the study published in
August 2016 actually stated that “The cumulative effects of climate warming on herbivore vital rates and
population dynamics are hard to predict,
given that the expected effects differ between seasons. … We explored the
causes and consequences of variation in body mass of wild female Svalbard
reindeer (Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus)
from 1994 to 2015, a period of marked
climate warming.” http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.13435/full
Climate, weather,
climate warming, global warming, terms are interchangeable for the general
public who peruse headlines in a hurry or listen to fake-news MSM to interpret
the news for them. We can now scare children that Santa Claus may not have
enough reindeer at Christmas as they are threatened by global warming. https://www.yahoo.com/news/reindeer-shrinking-warming-threatens-xmas-icon-000845791.html
Blaming humans for the natural changes and variations in
climate over the millennia, to the exclusion of all other variables such as
solar flares, underwater volcanic activity, and oceanic currents, is not real
science. And priests are no experts in climatology, they are spiritual guides.
