97percent-dont-believe-climate-change-is-top-concern

[Horn]

A new Fox News poll (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/interactive/2015/11/20/fox-news-poll-2016-matchups-syrian-refugees/) finds that in the wake of the Paris terror attacks, the issue of terrorism has become the top concern of American voters.
When asked what is currently the most important issue facing the country, 24 percent of those surveyed said terrorism. That number stood at 11 percent the last time Fox News conducted the poll. Another 21 percent cited the economy as their top concern. The issue has been at top of the list for most of President Obama's tenure in office.
The new poll also found that Americans are largely unconcerned with climate change, which the Obama administration has repeatedly pointed to as the nation's top security threat. Only 3 percent of respondents said that global warming was the most important issue facing the country today, down from 5 percent in a Fox poll released last August.


Similarly, the issue of race relations in the United States barely registers on the list of Americans' top concerns, despite months of media attention given to protests, race riots and anti-police sentiment spurred by the "Black Lives Matter" movement and other civil rights leaders. Again, only 3 percent of those surveyed viewed race relations as being the most important issue facing the nation.
While terrorism has moved to the top of the list, Americans still remain pessimistic about the U.S. economy, with 65 percent saying that an economic downturn is likely next year. In the poll, 83 percent of respondents said they believe a terror attack is likely to occur in the United States in the near future.
The poll was conducted from Nov. 16 - 18 among a random national sample of 1,016 registered voters.

With Ice Growing at Both Poles, Global Warming Theories Implode
26th November 2015

‘In the Southern Hemisphere, sea-ice levels just smashed through the previous record highs across Antarctica, where there is now more ice than at any point since records began. In the Arctic, where global-warming theorists preferred to keep the public focused due to some decreases in ice levels over recent years, scientists said sea-ice melt in 2014 fell below the long-term mean. Global temperatures, meanwhile, have remained steady for some 18 years and counting, contrary to United Nations models predicting more warming as carbon dioxide levels increased.

Of course, all of that is great news for humanity — call off the carbon taxes and doomsday bunkers! However, as global-warming theories continue to implode on the world stage, the latest developments will pose a major challenge for the UN and its member governments.’

LAMAR SMITH: NOAA's climate change science fiction - Washington TimesThe National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the nation’s leading collector of climate data. Every day, NOAA analyzes vast amounts of data to predict changes to our climate, weather, oceans and coasts. The agency also publishes monthly temperature averages across the nation and compares those numbers to historical temperature records.


As the nation’s self-proclaimed authority on “environmental intelligence,” NOAA should be held to the highest scientific standards. This means their conclusions should be objective, independent of political consideration and based on all available sources of information.


NOAA’s top official, Kathryn Sullivan, has described the agency’s role as providing “timely, reliably, and actionable information — based on sound science — every day to millions of Americans.”


PHOTOS: Game Changer: America's most advanced weapons (http://gold-silver.us/forum/safari-reader://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/collection/game-changer-americas-most-advanced-weapons/)

In testimony before the House Science Committee, NOAA’s deputy administrator, Manson Brown, made similar remarks, noting the importance of satellite data. He said that NOAA’s ability “to deliver environmental intelligence starts with keeping the pulse of the planet, especially the atmosphere and the ocean, and this is the central capability where space-based assets come into play.” So why does NOAA leave out satellite data when it releases climate projections?


NOAA often fails to consider all available data in its determinations and climate change reports to the public. A recent study by NOAA, published in the journal Science, made “adjustments” to historical temperature records and NOAA trumpeted the findings as refuting the nearly two-decade pause in global warming. The study’s authors claimed these adjustments were supposedly based on new data and new methodology. But the study failed to include satellite data.


Atmospheric satellite data, considered by many to be the most objective, has clearly showed no warming for the past two decades. This fact is well documented, but has been embarrassing for an administration determined to push through costly environmental regulations.


PHOTOS: Hand cannons: The world's most powerful handguns (http://gold-silver.us/forum/safari-reader://www.washingtontimes.com/multimedia/collection/monster-handguns/)

Instead, NOAA focused its study on surface temperature monitoring that is often flawed because these sites measure thousands of independent temperature readings and utilize a hodgepodge of different methods that have changed over time. For example, measurements from land-based stations can be skewed because of their location and proximity to surrounding heat-holding asphalt in urban areas.


Satellite data, on the other hand, is highly calibrated and provides complete global coverage. For decades, satellites have been used to monitor the earth and collect information. Satellites measure something extremely important — the deep atmosphere. The temperature readings collected by satellites often differ from ground monitoring stations and have consistently shown much smaller rates of warming. Yet NOAA refuses to incorporate satellite data into its monthly projections that are released to the public. Why?


NOAA appears to pick and choose only data that confirms their bias. NOAA then disseminates this incomplete data to the media who manufacture alarming headlines but ignore the uncertainty of the conclusions.


Earlier this year, NASA issued a news release stating that 2014 was the warmest year on record. Few media acknowledged the footnote: Scientists were only 38 percent sure this was actually correct. That is less than 50-50.


NOAA fully understands margins of error and works with them on a daily basis. But where are these details in their news releases? While NOAA’s monthly projections usually warn of increased warming, they ignore satellite data that refutes their alarmist statements.


The ability to remain independent of political consideration seems like a minimum requirement for an agency that should provide unbiased scientific information. But NOAA’s habit of picking and choosing data raises serious questions about the agency’s independence. In fact, it shreds NOAA’s credibility.


As a self-proclaimed “environmental intelligence agency,” NOAA’s reports should be based only on the best available science that takes into account all sources of data. Unfortunately, NOAA continues to rely upon biased science in pursuit of a predetermined outcome. That’s not good science, it’s science fiction.


This administration is pursuing an extreme political climate change agenda and has made NOAA its accomplice. These are not the actions of an objective agency. NOAA needs to come clean about why it cherry-picked and changed certain data, while ignoring satellite data, to get the results it wanted.

Carbon trading is a slippery issue. It's hard to know whether the money actually makes any real difference in reducing carbon emissions. That's why carbon trading for the business sector is also a complex issue. The intention seems good: Allow free-market principles to arrive at a price on carbon emissions, then require companies to engage in the trading of credits so that a fixed upper limit of emissions is not exceeded.http://naturalnews.com/Cartoons/Carbon_Trading_600.jpg

200+ detained, tear gas & scuffles at banned Global March for Climate in Paris
30th November 201

‘Crowds gathered in the French capital on Sunday to attend a global march for the climate, despite the ban on gatherings enforced by French authorities. When one of the groups charged a police cordon, tear gas was deployed to push them back.

“Huge amounts” of tear gas were fired at protesters near Place de la Republique in central Paris, according to witnesses’ reports on Twitter, with objects flying in the direction of security forces.’

I am old enough to remember the global cooling scam from the late 1960's/early 1970's, thankfully it did not get much traction. This was about the same time Paul Ehrlich(a jew) was pushing his book about population bomb, more crap that did not get much traction. The environmental agenda was introduced in our Catholic weekly reader I remember thinking that there was something insidious behind the surface, that was the mid sixties. It is amazing how some things are so pervasive.

COP 21
Climate Change Related Disputes: A Role for International Arbitration and ADR

In association with the ICC International Court of Arbitration, the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) and the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce

7 December 2015
Venue: ICC, 33 avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris




COP21 is one of the most important events in world environmental, political and economic negotiations at this time. It is taking place, with the world’s leaders in attendance, on the doorstep of the ICC’s Headquarters in Paris.
One of the greatest challenges for the negotiators is to persuade stakeholders that commitments, including damages calculations, will be binding and enforceable beyond COP21. The lacuna in the UNFCCC as it currently stands cannot be filled by national or international courts. It can, however, be filled by international arbitration. International Arbitration has been used over the last 100 years to resolve some of the most important disputes of our time and avert major political and diplomatic crises.
This forum will discuss existing use of international arbitration and ADR mechanisms to resolve climate change related disputes and to explore the further role of arbitration and ADR to help to implement and enforce emerging international sustainability principles, standards, commitments and obligations, resolve disputes and maintain individual, national and international climate change targets and objectives.

PARIS (Reuters) - With encouragement from 150 world leaders ringing in their ears, government negotiators in Paris were on Tuesday left to turn the rhetoric into reality and agree on a draft text of a global deal to slow climate change.
U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping made common cause on Monday with other countries to stress the urgency of an agreement to slow a rise in global temperatures blamed for spurring floods, heat waves and rising sea levels.
But as the leaders left Paris, negotiators from 195 countries were left to work on a draft text of more than 50 pages still riddled with disagreements.
The main sticking point is how to come up with the billions of dollars needed to finance the cleaner energy sources that are badly needed if emerging countries are to develop without relying heavily on fossil fuels.
Many delegates said the large turnout at the U.N. climate summit in Paris, weeks after attacks by Islamic State militants killed 130 people, was a sign of hope after the last summit collapsed in failure in 2009 in Copenhagen amid rancor between rich and poor nations.

French President Francois Hollande said he was encouraged by the start of talks that are planned to run until Dec. 11.
"It's set off well but it has to arrive too," he told reporters. He said there were "two reefs. Either we overload the vessel and it sinks or we empty it and it goes nowhere."
The technical talks repeated little of Monday's grand language. Countries restated their negotiating positions with few hints of likely compromise.
China's delegate Su Wei "noted with concern" what he called a lack of commitment by the rich to make deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions and help developing nations with new finance to tackle global warming.

"It's back to the nitty gritty," said Alden Meyer, of the Union of Concerned Scientists, adding the opening day was "all good but that does not resolve the crunch issues."
"It is still a text with many options," Peruvian Environment Minister Manuel Pulgar Vidal told Reuters, adding with a shrug "but everybody has shown their commitment to have an agreement."
The mood was brightened by major announcements including a plan by India and France to mobilize $1 trillion for solar power for some of the world's poorest people and a private sector initiative led by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates to mobilize billions of dollars for new energy research and development.
"Leaders still have the scars of Copenhagen on their hearts and brains," Yvo de Boer, who was the U.N.'s climate chief in Copenhagen, said.
"The fact that so many leaders came back here on the opening day to send encouragement ... is a sign that they really want to move," he said.

A deal in Paris would be by far the strongest ever agreed to bind both rich and poor nations to limit greenhouse gas emissions, which scientists say have blanketed the earth, raised global temperatures and begun upending the planet's climate system.
Liz Gallagher, of the London-based E3G environmental think-tank, said the opening day had "made an agreement more likely".
But she said the biggest gap was over climate finance. Developing nations want the rich to pledge rising amounts beyond the current goal of $100 billion a year by 2020 to help them obtain clean energy sources and adapt to the effects of climate change, such as more floods, droughts and intense storms.
Other disputes concern how to define a long-term goal for phasing out fossil fuels.
In June, developed nations in the Group of Seven (G7) signed up for a goal of decarbonizing the world economy by 2100. China and India say they need to rely on coal to lift millions from poverty and prefer a shift to low-carbon development this century.
So far, pledges made by about 170 countries to curb greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2020, made in the run-up to the Paris summit, are too weak to limit rising global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial times. That is widely viewed as a threshold for dangerous and potentially catastrophic changes in the planet's climate system.
