What is Driving This Fight?
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
▪ Science used as a tool for agenda(s). If it’s science,there is enough doubt (actual refutation) that it isa non issue! Besides, let’s simply watchtemperatures..lines are drawn in sand prettyclearly
▪ Science sideshow to hide real agenda(s)
▪ Strawman argument: Change Global Warming to“Climate Change” then isolate, demonize, destroyopponents over redundant term
▪ Climate is always changing, no one denies
▪ Forced to come out with that because originalargument was wrong. Strategy: Lie..

Fact
The decrease of the TSI in the phase decline of the
Quasibicentennial Cycle leads to the deficit of the
energy budget of the Earth and the Little Ice Age. This
would be ugly. Warmer is better than colder (easier to

1. Increase in TSI, pulling us out of cool period.
2. Oceanic cycles (PDO, AMO warm).
3. Possible saving grace (reason why I likecooling to1970s levels, but not yet little ice
age) stored heat from previous warm
cycles.
4. Still, things don’t look good for warming.

From Friends of Science
▪ “Heat-trapping gas is a bad descriptionbecause the CO 2 molecule does not trap
heat,” says Gregory, “CO 2 absorbs a photon of
long-wave radiation, and immediately gives up
the energy to surrounding air molecules, or
emits a photon”
▪ Even if you argue CO 2 feedback, TSI decrease
in LW radiation leaves it even more powerless
39
Page 41
You Want it to Do What?
▪ 1/100 so called “greenhouse gases” (we needanother term…“life giving layer” is better)
▪ .04% entire atmosphere, (3-5 % of that fromman) which has only 1/1000th heat capacity
of oceans
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com
▪ So that blink of an eye process of somethingthat small is what is leading to all this?
▪ By the way, we have had ice ages at 7000 ppm
40
Page 42
Why the Weather/Climate?
▪ It’s the design, intelligent person attending this
▪ 75% land in north, 75% water in south. Northpole ocean, south continent, wobbles on its
axis and rotates around the energy source
▪ A constant search for balance that it can notachieve
▪ Temperatures distorted back and forth

A Conclusion
Therefore, it’s the sun, the oceans and stochastic events:
• Triple crown of cooling (on O’Reilly Factor 4 years ago)
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

• Oceanic cycles (which is what we will discuss)• Solar (if this is right, Victoria’s Secret will not be flimsy
nightgowns, but temperatures from the Victorian era—
meaning big bulky bathrobes)
• Wild Card (stochastic – volcanoes, etc)

▪ Reliance that you don’t know this is what isdriving a lot of the hysteria. Businesses have todevelop spread between truth and hysteria. Thefuture is uncertain enough, but the confusionscaused by climate ambulance chasers adds toyour woe.

Why?
▪ Cooling Pacific tropics (cold PDO) changes inputof energy to atmosphere, leading to lessmoisture over US.
▪ Sun does not work as hard to evaporate waterout of the ground. This means it can warmground, which warms air.
▪ Warm Atlantic tropics (warm AMO) shiftingupward motion to over the ocean, enhancedhurricane in western Atlantic!
▪ IT’S NATURE, NOT MAN, and we are here now!

The Upcoming Winter
▪ 3 Major factors1) Tropical Pacific
2) Atlantic Ocean “tripole”
3) Solar Activity
▪ I think a weak central Pacific warm event

geomagnetic activity. This favors blocking
