Warmists have obsessed over something they like to call the Climate Change Denial Machine, a sinister cabal they blame for their failure to persuade people that a harmless trace gas essential to life on Earth is going to make the planet explode. Or something.
But, after extensive research The Daily Bayonet can reveal another reason for climate skeptic’s success and warmist failure.
It’s the songs, stupid.
Skeptics just have better minstrels. Compare and contrast two warmist efforts with a skeptic song, if you dare.
From the UK, The Sea Green Singers want to drown climate skeptics:

From Australia, Men With Day Jobs do the Denier Tango:
..
And, in contrast, M4GW:

Tell me I’m wrong.

“Without human caused global warming there can be no human caused climate change”.
So, what about the at least half dozen warming and cooling periods the planet has gone through in the past? The joy of computers. Garbage in…..garbage out.
A simple equation based on the physical phenomena involved, with inputs of only sunspot number and ppmv CO2, calculates the average global temperatures (agt) since 1895 with 88.4% accuracy (87.9% if CO2 is assumed to have no influence).
The equation, links to the source data, an eye-opening graph of the results and how they are derived are in the pdfs at http://climaterealists.com/index.php?tid=145&linkbox=true (see especially the pdfs made public on 4/10/10, 3/10/11 and 9/24/11).
As shown in the 9/24/11 pdf, the equation accurately predicted the temperature trends for the last 20 years.
The future average global temperature trend that this equation calculates is down. The huge effective thermal capacitance of the oceans (about 30 times everything else) will cause the decline to be only about 0.13°C per decade. The decline may be as much as 0.22°C per decade if the sun goes really quiet.
This trend is corroborated by the growing separation between the rising CO2 and not-rising agt. From 2001 through September, 2011 the atmospheric CO2 increased by 23.7% of the total increase from 1800 to 2001 while the average global temperature has not increased. The 23.7% CO2 increase is the significant measurement, not the comparatively brief time period.
Without human caused global warming there can be no human caused climate change.
peterj - it’s already here. Coal seam gas and Shale gas is the new AGW/Ozone Hole/Nuclear Winter/Overpopulation/Eugenics.
The bleeding edge greenies have already abandoned AGW and are moving full steam ahead on trying to stop cheap energy from underground gas being tapped. It’s their worst case scenario - not only is it easy to get and clean to burn, it’s also not in a foreign country and therefore nobody to demonise but their own country.
Gasland is the new Inconvenient Truth. Stay tuned for knee-jerk backlash regulations to try and prevent use of this resource at any costs.
The whole global warming scam seems to be losing traction and common sense is slowly making a come back. Of course, the next global panic should develop shortly. Every generation seems to have one and nature abhors a vacuum.
