Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. had this great set of factoids up on his blog, and I just can’t resist sharing. He writes:
Adam Lea, of University College London, shares these interesting hurricane factoids related the the remarkable dearth of US hurricane landfalls in recent years. His comments are reproduced here with his permission:
As the 2010 hurricane season (with 10 hurricanes) starts to wind down I thought I would share a few statistics on how unusual this season has been historically for its lack of US hurricane landfalls:
1. Since 1900 there is no precedent of an Atlantic hurricane season with 10 or more hurricanes where none has struck the US as a hurricane. The five previous seasons with 10 or more hurricanes each had at least two hurricane strikes on the US.

Cancel all your European travel and vacation plans – carbon trading extortion is here
Benny Peiser of the GWPF alerts us to the translation of the article in the German magazine Handelsblatt
By Thomas Ludwig
Foreign airlines are threatened with a flight and landing ban from 2012 in the European Union if they do not participate in emissions trading.
The ban is proposed in an internal document by the EU Commission seen by Handelsblatt. Summarised on nine pages, the guidelines describe how such a ban could be implement. The Commission considers a flight and landing ban as a last resort to make the airlines surrender over its Emissions Trading Scheme......Read full article

Be prepared or be sorry
The Carbon Sense Coalition today called for an end to wasteful spending on attempts to change the climate by taxing and rationing carbon.
The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that man will never control climate.
“Noah did not blame cooking fires for the flood – he built a boat before the rain came”.
Forbes explained:
“It’s time to stop wasting money trying to control the climate – this will be no more successful than slaughtering sacrificial goats, even if tax payers and electricity consumers are to be the goats.
“Man will never control the climate. Wealthy societies can and do improve their local environments of air, land and water. But to think that trading carbon credits, taxing carbon, or subsidising carbon geo-sequestration, wind towers or ethanol production will improve our climate is delusionary…”

Carbon Price Means Carbon tax
The Carbon Sense Coalition today called for an end to deceptive advertising regarding Global Warming Policies.
The Chairman of “Carbon Sense”, Mr Viv Forbes, said that those calling for a “Price on Carbon” should speak the truth and call it a “Tax on the Production of Carbon Dioxide”.
“Similarly the CPRS (Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme) had nothing to do with pollution but everything to do with imposing taxes and rationing on economic activity.”
Forbes explained:
“The new green mantra chants: “We need a price on carbon”.
“Carbon is the most useful substance on earth and there is already a price on every product containing carbon – coal and oil, bread and butter, beef and bacon, oil and ethanol, beer and whisky, coffee and tea, cotton and wool, diesel and fire wood, methane and carbon dioxide, petrol and rubber - all are carbon products with an established market price.....Read Full Article

Climate Fools Day
Today, 27th October 2010, is Climate Fools Day.
For the last 20 years politicians, jet-setting bureaucrats and vested interests have been plotting how to make Climate Fools of the western world, taxing industry and consumers to fund green schemes, carbon speculators and international wealth redistribution.
The fightback by sceptical scientists and public was greatly boosted on the first Climate Fools Day when, in October 2008, British politicians passed with little dissent “The Climate Change Bill” a piece of legislation that future generations will come to accept was “the most absurd Bill that this Parliament has ever had to examine”.....Read Full Article

Risky Windfall: Prince Charles To Profit From His Green Energy Campaign | The SPPI Blog
Source: UK Mail
by Martin Delgado and Christopher Leake,
The Royal Family have secured a lucrative deal that will earn them tens of millions of pounds from the massive expansion of offshore windfarms. They will net up to £37.5?million extra income every year from the drive for green energy because the seabed within Britain’s territorial waters is owned by the Crown Estate.
Under new measures announced by Chancellor George Osborne last week, the Royals will soon get 15 per cent of the profits from the Estate’s £6?billion property portfolio, rather than the existing Civil List arrangement..... Read full article

The tangled web they weave as they practice to deceive children on climate.
There are dozens of sites, possibly hundreds, that are pushing out information and grounds for alarm to children and young people in and around our climate. The variability of this climate poses problems, not least from the inevitable 'extreme values' that must occur from time to time in any particular characteristic subject to this variability, such as temperature or rainfall. But these sites are not so much about climate as about 'blame' and political action, often using frightening images or language to engage with their targets and persuade them to hassle their parents, to change their lifestyles, and generally be scared witless about the future......Read full article

Is the Western Climate Establishment Corrupt? Part I « JoNova
For months now, behind the scenes, David and I have discussed just how powerful questions can be. Sometimes it’s not what you know, but what you ask that makes the most powerful point.
For his Heartland presentation last Friday, David delivered a themed compilation of example after example of the Western Climate Establishment allowing mistakes, errors or biases to accumulate — each factor on it’s own might be hard to pin down, but the sum total of actions (and inactions) forms a wholly consistent pattern.
This is Part I. These photos speak for themselves, but as far as I know, they haven’t been assembled in one web page before and David stopped waiting for me to get the time to annotate them and has helpfully used red arrows so even the less technically minded will “get” the implications.....Read full article

A MUST READ: European climate, Alpine glaciers and Arctic ice in relation to North Atlantic SST record | Watts Up With That?
Posted on September 26, 2010 by Anthony Watts
In my opinion, this essay is a must read because it clearly illustrates correlation between ocean cycles to; Arctic ice loss and gain, glacier advance and retreat, and land surface temperature rise and fall. As I said graphically in a previous post......Read full article

Global warming is dead. Long live, er, 'Global climate disruption'! – Telegraph Blogs
President Obama’s Science Czar John Holdren is worried about global warming. Having noticed that there hasn’t actually been any global warming since 1998, he feels it ought to be called “global climate disruption” instead. That way whether it gets warmer or colder, wetter or drier, less climatically eventful or more climatically eventful, the result will be the same: it can all be put down to “global climate.......

Comment: Let's have a name change to confuse the masses, let's change the rules, the goalpost anything to keep these pesky inquisitive humans divided and arguing among themselves while we quietly work out more draconian ways to enslave them with our fake hot air tax and other fancy names yet to be introduced, that will teach them to stand in the way of us, the elite wealth controllers and population police.
For heavens sake we only control 90% of the worlds' wealth already there are still a few monetary considerations to soak up from the poor and destitute, they are putting up some resistance though and unfortunately are seeing through our scams. So lets forget about global warming, cooling and other such terminology, let's have one with the lot Global Climate Disruption, hot, cold, lukewarm doesn't matter this one will cover all situations, we just change the name of the tax to GCD tax, gotcha guys, get out of that one, our smart A$$ armies of solicitors and legal buddies worked that one out for us.
Furthermore, our gangster friends, whoops, that should read banksters have wonderful plans for all your spare cash, superannuation funds, savings we are going to divide it up among cohorts and politicians on the payroll. We are only about 1% of the worlds population but we are laughing all the way to the bank, thank you suckers who thought you elected democratic governments with your interests at heart.
We have a new bunch of friends in Australia, (sort of elected by a gullible misinformed public that were led like sheep to the slaughter, wonderful help that red haired lady) , who will hopefully be collecting our cash for us. Nice one Joolya, "no there won't be a Carbon Tax, ah the powers of the mass media and pollies who lie a little"
Some payoffs need to be made in third world countries to a few despots and dictators who make a bit of noise if a few silver pieces does not come their way. See you at the next Bilderberg meeting, keep the location a secret though.
