Try as they might these “scientists” just couldn’t make their model for warming match with reality!

400 years ago, in 1609, Galileo Galilei, who physicist Stephen Hawking hails as “perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science,” designed one of the first telescopes. He used it to make actual observations of the stars and planets and from those observations (actual observations being the key here in our later story) he concluded that the long held view that the earth was the center of the Solar System was wrong. His worked proved the decades old theory of Copernicus to be correct. The Sun was actually the center of our Solar System.

For centuries philosophers (scientists) had insisted that the earth was the center of the universe. They went to extraordinary lengths to document this belief by creating elaborate models to explain this geocentric view. Readers may recall seeing antiquities like this Geocentric armillary sphere in museums.

But the models were never quite perfect. There was always a flaw which failed to accurately account for, let alone predict, the behavior of the planets and the Sun. When Galileo’s observations challenged this model, he was eventually put on trial by religious authorities and subjected to house arrest.

Even as the all the scientific observations from that point on confirmed Galileo’s conclusions it would take more than 300 years before the Catholic Church under Pope John Paul II finally admitted that Galileo had been right all along.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take that long for the Warmers to admit they were wrong about manmade global warming.

Global Warming Theory Based on Flawed Models

The disclosure of the hacked emails from the Climactic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in Britain was the smoking gun that confirmed once and for all that the models underpinning the theory that man’s carbon emissions are altering the climate are deeply flawed and being manipulated with an eye towards making their outcome support the beliefs of the researchers doing the work.

Perhaps the most damning of all was this exchange between climate researchers in Britain and America. Kevin Trenberth, Head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, who shared the Nobel Peace Prize for the U.N.’s work on climate change, states the following:

The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t. The CERES data published in the August BAMS 09 supplement on 2008 shows there should be even more warming: but the data are surely wrong. Our observing system is inadequate.

In short, the models and systems these scientists have designed failed to predict what is actually happening now. Yet we are supposed to remake the entire world economic system based on their dire predictions for global disaster in the decades ahead? I don’t think so.

Models vs. Observation

accompanying post at Climate Science

Just as Galileo disproved the geocentric theory using observations which were repeated by other astronomers, the flawed models underpinning mandmade global warming are being disproved by actual observations, not theories. Here’s a short primer comparing the models expected result from a manmande greenhouse effect with the actual observations:

Warmers Inquisition and Media Coverup Won’t Stop the Truth!

Just as it was in Galileo’s time the scientists representing the manmade global warming community have much to lose if their incompetence and perhaps criminal activity in fudging the numbers and destroying documentation is fully disclosed and investigated.

Over these many years where the warmers have insisted the “science was settled” they attempted to discredit and punish dissenters in a way reminiscent of the injustice handed down to Galileo. They have attempted to block publication of the dissenters work in scholarly journals and openly ridiculed their credentials. Chief Warmer,James Hansen, a NASA scientist with an axe to grind would even put some who oppose his views on trial for “high crimes against humanity and nature.”

Perhaps we should insist that climate criminals like Hansen and this friends at CRU-East Anglia and elsewhere should be the ones on trial for the most massive public fraud of all time!

This is one of the biggest stories to hit in decades. It goes to the very heart of a public debate with drastic implications. But so far, the Warmers and their media acolytes have been successful in hushing it up and poo pooing the evidence. Nancy Morgan correctly dubs it a “Silent Scandal.”

Even without a full vetting of the scandal, the support for the Warmers view among Americans of every partisan persuasion is dropping fast. The reason is simple. Americans can see with their own eyes that the Warmers dire predictions of just a few years ago have not come true. In fact, the opposite has happened. Instead of warming, we have snow earlier than ever. Instead of more intense hurricanes, we have a thirty year low in storms.

The Big Question: Will Warmers Succeed in Getting Cap and Trade/ UN Treaty Before Time Runs Out?

President Obama and many of his cabinet secretaries will jet off to Copenhagen next month (no doubt killing thousands of polar bears if you believe this video) to ramp up international efforts for a climate treaty that has long been the Warmers great global ambition to address a non-existent problem. Thus far efforts at a treaty have been stalled. Back at home, Senate Democrats don’t seem in too big a hurry to pass Cap and Trade legislation that would result in dramatically higher energy costs for all Americans.

In a rare moment of honesty Obama admitted the costs of his plan for Cap and Trade:

Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” — B. Hussein Obama, January 2008

All that expense and hardship for a problem that doesn’t exist? With a fraction of the money that would be misspent on the Warmer’s fraud we could most likely cure cancer and practically eliminate world hunger and illiteracy. But instead the Warmers want the rest of us to line their pockets and make Al Gore richer?

It won’t take three hundred years for this “silent scandal” to be exposed!

The sunspot data is available going all the way back to Galileo’s time, as it was some of the first observations he did.

Now that Hadley’s FORTRAN code is public, maybe there’s a way to remove all the “tricks” and retrieve the actual CO2 and temp-data from the proxies and the measured.

Then we can super-impose them atop each other and show the world the truth even more accuratly than this one does:

My My… isn’t it odd that the temperature seems to be nearly a perfect track along with sunspots while CO2 just seems to be doing it’s own thing?

Why, who ever would have thought such a thing possible?

Do you suppose we should tell the Warmers about this?

Mike, it’s most disappointing that you chose to back up you “Galileo facts” with anti-catholic disproven urban legends, especially ‘’Wikipedia, which you would never accept as reliable reference for anything you were supporting. Adding to the disappointment, is the egregious (and I certainly hope not bigoted), comparison of Galileo with the “warmers”.

Unlike Al Gore/warmers, Galileo made major scientific contributions, just a bit over zealous (the REAL reason for his arrest), in being dogmatic in his heliocentric theory before the science was there to support it. He also eventually recanted.

Here’s a good read for anyone interested in the facts: (Excerpt)

OBJECTOR: Okay, so Galileo was not forbidden to continue his scientific work. But the fact remains that the Church condemned a proven scientific theory by invoking the Bible.

CATHOLIC: We must remember that no one—not even Galileo, has he acknowledged—had proof for the motion of the earth in 1632. Evidence would come later, but that evidence was not available to the judges in 1633. The first experimental confirmation of stellar parallax, for example, did not come until the nineteenth century with Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel’s observations. So believing that the earth was motionless was not absurd in the seventeenth century.

Moving on…

Even as the all the scientific observations from that point on confirmed Galileo’s conclusions it would take more than 300 years before the Catholic Church under Pope John Paul II finally admitted that Galileo had been right all along.

Really Mike, Wikipedia as a reference? Guess that’s ok when it’s the Catholic Church you are referencing. Gee, even a Google search would have educated you to the fact that an encyclical by Leo XIII was well in place before JP II RE-CONFIRMED (that’s what Popes often do in their teachings)

OBJECTOR: But today the Church does recognize that the decision against Galileo was mistake, doesn’t it? Why did the Church take so long to recognize its mistake?

CATHOLIC: Yes, the Church recognizes that the decision was wrong, but that recognition took place long before John Paul II made the formal apology in 1992. Copernicus’s book and thus the heliocentric system was removed from the Index of Prohibited Books in the eighteenth century. The Church, long before the past two decades, accepted Galileo’s approach to the reconciliation of science and Scripture as well founded. For example, Pope Leo XIII issued an encyclical Providentissimus Deus (November 18, 1893) in which he basically endorsed Galileo’s approach to the reconciliation of apparent conflicts between the Catholic faith and science. I say “apparent conflicts” because neither Galileo nor the official Church ever believed that there could be true conflicts between the Christian faith and science. Leo in the nineteenth century, Galileo and Bellarmine in the seventeenth, all affirmed the ultimate agreement between truths of faith and truths of science.

Here’s another good factual reference:

It is a good thing that the Church did not rush to embrace Galileo’s views, because it turned out that his ideas were not entirely correct, either. Galileo believed that the sun was not just the fixed center of the solar system but the fixed center of the universe. We now know that the sun is not the center of the universe and that it does move—it simply orbits the center of the galaxy rather than the earth.

As more recent science has shown, both Galileo and his opponents were partly right and partly wrong. Galileo was right in asserting the mobility of the earth and wrong in asserting the immobility of the sun. His opponents were right in asserting the mobility of the sun and wrong in asserting the immobility of the earth.

Had the Catholic Church rushed to endorse Galileo’s views—and there were many in the Church who were quite favorable to them—the Church would have embraced what modern science has disproved.

Bottom line, it is absurdity (or bigotry) to draw a connection to the warmers and Galileo. It’s also more than unfair to paint the “inquisitive” Catholic Church as the villain of science, when in point of fact, it was the Scientists of the Catholic Church who contributed most to the sciences, especially astronomy, and still do to this day .

Currently, the Catholic Church is HONORING and celebrating Galileo and Astronomy (fat chance of that ever happening with Al Gore). Less than a month ago, they hosted a Congress at the Vatican, (regardless of religious belief), and it was fascinating.

A Vatican sponsored exhibit is now available:

The exhibition will open Oct. 16 and will run through Jan. 16, coinciding with the close of the International Year of Astronomy, promoted by the International Astronomical Union and UNESCO.

Perhaps these words combined with Pope Benedict’s recent quote to the Astoomy Vatican Congress should give us all pause:

“True Knowledge Is Always Directed to Wisdom”

And if that doesn’t do it for you, at least know this: (my bold emphasis)

OBJECTOR: So, you as a Catholic, what lessons do you think we can learn from the Galileo trial?

CATHOLIC: That the pursuit of knowledge is always a humbling process. And that is good, because humility is one of the greatest virtues.

@pdill: It should have been clear that I consider the Warmers to be the modern day equivalent of the Inquisitors.

I’m trying to stir a Catholic pot here Pdill, so you’ll have to let me know if this reference I cited from John Paul II was accurate:

Thanks to his intuition as a brilliant physicist and by relying on different arguments, Galileo, who practically invented the experimental method, understood why only the sun could function as the centre of the world, as it was then known, that is to say, as a planetary system. The error of the theologians of the time, when they maintained the centrality of the Earth, was to think that our understanding of the physical world’s structure was, in some way, imposed by the literal sense of Sacred Scripture….
– Pope John Paul II, L’Osservatore Romano N. 44 (1264) – November 4, 1992

The Vatican today runs one of the most advanced observatories in the world, in Arizona called VATT (Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope), and Italy which was built in 1891 by Pope Leo. They have many Jesuit Brothers working alongside secular astronomers. They are also at the forefront of meteor research, and have the worlds biggest collection of them.

One of the quandaries the Vatican had with Galileo’s theory was that if the earth wasn’t the center, then the sun couldn’t be either because of the observed motion of the stars AND the sun. At the time, it actually made more sense that the earth was stationary, rather than the sun alone.

-That, and Galileo was a bit of a self-aggrandizer, and tended to put himself “above” all other scientists and church leaders of the time, even in things not astronomical. The church undoubtedly held more power over science and thought than acceptable by todays standards, but things were what they were.

I don’t think Mike set out to diss on the Church. If he wasn’t brought up under it’s theology, tenants, and history (like we were), and in light of the given public/secular info commonly available, it isn’t shocking to me that the “popular history” is slanted by anyone.

Angelo Secchi, is known as the father (pun intended) of astrophysics. The Big Bang theory was first proposed in 1933, by Father Georges Lemaitre. The Vatican today spends over a million/year on astronomy-related projects.

Last year Father Jose Funes of the Arizona facility gave a talk to my dads astronomy club here in the SF Bay area, and will make himself available to talk to any group of 25 or more for free.
