Quite apart from the fact that their predictions are based on an increase in temperature which isn’t being suggested by the current global temperature trend and is all based on Climate models that have so far proved completely ineffective, the statements on Malaria increases are disturbing coming from medial professionals:

“However, a study by the University College London, published in the Lancet, concluded that the problems caused by climate change such as food shortages, heat waves and increased threat of tropical diseases such as malaria will kill billions of people“

If these members of University College have got through their medical exams and undertaken this whole study without having learned or realised that Malaria isn’t a tropical disease and isn’t governed by temperature in the way they are suggesting then my otherwise completely irrational phobia of doctors may actually be well founded!

Perhaps instead they should have studied History! The largest Malaria outbreak of recent times was in Siberia in the 1920′s – 13 million cases per year and 600,000 deaths at its peak. I would suggest visiting Siberia in shorts and a t-shirt to see just how tropical it is!!! Holland only declared itself Malaria free in 1970, I thought it had been getting warmer since then?

“.. in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.”

Adolf Hitler – Mein Kampf Vol1 Ch10

“That is of course rather painful for those involved. One should not as a rule reveal one’s secrets, since one does not know if and when one may need them again. The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous”

Joseph Goebbels – Churchill’s Lie Factory

“His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it”

“MANILA, April 27 (Reuters) – Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most vulnerable regions to climate change and could face conflict over failing rice yields, lack of water and high economic costs, a major Asian Development Bank report shows.

The region’s economies could lose as much as 6.7 percent of combined gross domestic product yearly by 2100, more than twice the global average loss, according to the ADB’s report on the economics of climate change in Southeast Asia.

“By the end of this century, the economy-wide cost each year on average could reach 2.2 percent of GDP, if only market impact is considered…(to) 6.7 percent of GDP when catastrophic risks are also taken into account,” the British-government funded report said.”

I can’t see why our government are wasting money on this report. While predicting future climate or even tomorrow’s weather with any real accuracy is completely beyond us we now start paying good money to speculate on South East Asia’s economy in 2100. This report seems to presume that what contributes their GDP now will be similar in nearly 100 years . This whole business of speculating on the economy or climate in the distant future is utterly pointless and certainly shouldn’t be the basis of funding decisions. The late great Michael Crichton once said that if you asked people in 1900 what the major issues would be in 2000 it would have been things like “how will they have enough horses for everyone?” and “what will they do with all that horse shit? “ (I’m paraphrasing as I cant find his essay). Our rate of technological development is increasing so its getting harder not easier to predict the future. A further quote from Crichton on the matter gives food for thought:

“Last, I want you to think about what it means to say that we are going to act now to address something 100 years from now.  People say this with confidence; we hear that the people of the future will condemn us if we don’t act.  But is that true?

We’re at the start of the 21st century, looking ahead.  We’re just like someone in 1900, thinking about the year 2000.  Could someone in 1900 have helped us?

Here is Teddy Roosevelt, a major environmental figure from 1900.  These are some of the words that he does not know the meaning of:

Given all those changes, is there anything Teddy could have done in 1900 to help us? And aren’t we in his position right now, with regard to 2100?

Think how incredibly the world has changed in 100 years. It will change vastly more in the next century. A hundred years ago there were no airplanes and almost no cars. Do you really believe that 100 years from now we will still be burning fossil fuels and driving around in cars and airplanes? “

Nobody listens to the real climate change experts

Why should we pay for the beliefs of others?

The ‘Global Warming Three’ are on thin ice

Rise of sea levels is ‘the greatest lie ever told’

best quote from this one:

“One of his most shocking discoveries was why the IPCC has been able to show sea levels rising by 2.3mm a year. Until 2003, even its own satellite-based evidence showed no upward trend. But suddenly the graph tilted upwards because the IPCC’s favoured experts had drawn on the finding of a single tide-gauge in Hong Kong harbour showing a 2.3mm rise. The entire global sea-level projection was then adjusted upwards by a “corrective factor” of 2.3mm, because, as the IPCC scientists admitted, they “needed to show a trend”.”

Yet more mind-boggling figures on global warming

“Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true. [paraphrased]” Buddha

“In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand, and without examination, from authorities who have not themselves examined the questions at issue but have taken them at second-hand from other non-examiners, whose opinions about them were not worth a brass farthing.” Mark Twain
