Who will get the blame for global cooling? I would like to nominate organic vegetable growers. Not that I think they are to blame but just as honest hard working coal miners and oil company executives were scapegoated for the warming so to must innocent parties pay the price for all the cooling the UN is now warning us about. I look askance at the whole organic movement and regard it as another iteration of green wash. It's not the growing that bothers me it's the marketing. Often the same know-it-alls who profoundly bore us with false promise of immortality from eating organic are the same nefarious bunch who advocate substituting wholesome bacon grease for olive oil.
About the cooling. The UN is in a snit because someone leaked the IPPC's latest report. Yes, they intended to release it eventually but they would rather it not be plastered all over the internet where skeptics such as Steve McIntyre and Anthony Watts could read it but would rather it be subjected to the UN commenting process that has served us so well over the years.
One suspects Al Gore and the dummies who gave him a Nobel for his hysterical idiocy would rather it had been leaked either. This is not going to go well for the EPA as it has cited IPPC fiction as the basis for much of its job killing regulations. Yes, now go back to court and tell the judge not to pay attention to the IPPC. How will we deal with global cooling? Maybe we could manufacture appliances that work and automobiles that people want to buy.
The Huffington Post tells us the report "Excites Skeptic, Annoys Authors And Raises Questions About Process" and there is a move afoot to overhaul the process rather than to answer the questions.
For those of you who may have missed the the news the leaked report reveals that the arctic sea ice has increased by 60% over 2012. The news comes several years after the BBC predicted that the arctic would be ice-free by 2013 so you see, there is a problem. This also comes as the IPPC was trying to explain the "pause" and now they have to explain a prediction that the cooling will last until mid century. The logical explanation would be that we are in a solar minimum and that the sun not, CO2 levels, are the dominate force in climate but that would be too simple and would be the end of climate research spending. Like I said, I blame it on organic gardening.
