"Global warming" hysteria is based on a combination of bad science and fraud

More and more evidence that global warming is a scam to grab power and riches for the eco-elites.

From Powerline linking to the UK Telegraph, the "Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen" anounced the hottest global October ever. This in the face of "reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years." The reason? They have been reusing the August numbers for the last 3 months. Some other tidbits from the story:

Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.

Another of his close allies is Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, who recently startled a university audience in Australia by claiming that global temperatures have recently been rising "very much faster" than ever, in front of a graph showing them rising sharply in the past decade. In fact, as many of his audience were aware, they have not been rising in recent years and since 2007 have dropped.

There are some interesting comments on the story on the Telegraph site. One points out that "consensus" is not proof. That on this global warming shtick, when "evidence" and "proof" are predominately going against your agenda, claiming "consensus" and declaring your position the only true theory is bad science.

The IPCC is the body which is lying and perverting the data in order to pretend there is a problem. So it's hardly a valid place to find this magical 'consensus', which appears to have taken over from 'proof' as the way science arrives at the truth!
