Raise the dams, put your homes on stilts, and move your animals!
Adapt or Die. That’s the overriding message of the AGW crowd. The scary thing is 95% actually believe this crap (the other 5% are making a fortune off the idiotic faithful). Here one of the latest scare tactics: “Global Warming may require higher dams and homes on stilts.” Lord Christopher Monckton has written up a short myth-busting report in response and posted the PDF up at ScienceAndPublicPolicy.org. It begins:
In early December 2009, shortly before the Copenhagen climate conference, the Associated Press –long notorious for its one-sidedly credulous presentation of the “global warming” issue–circulated an article saying that the world was “losing the battle against global warming.”
The article asserted that humans would have to “adapt or die” by elevating buildings, making taller and stronger dams and seawalls, rerouting water systems, changing farming public practices and ultimately moving people, plants, and animals out of harm’s way.
Here at Climategate.com, we’re about five miles from the coast and are hoping for beachfront property, stilts or not.

Now American senior politicians are weighing in to pursue the climate fraudsters. Here’s a letter just released that indicates one of the key US Climategate cowboys, Michael Mann, needs to be looking over his shoulder PDQ. Time to get lawyered up boys – no more Chicken Little BS, ya here!

Russian scientists have just completed their analysis of the Climategate fudging and proved that the data sets for Russia and the whole of the former Soviet Union were rigged!
The Russians specifically state that the full set of Russian data does NOT support global warming, imagine how different the bright red dot over Russia now looks. Bear in mind that the Russian data alone accounts for over 12% of all the IPCC data. We also know there are big discrepancies in the New Zealand and Australian data. While the oldest raw data in the world, from the CET ( Central England Temperature) record proves no warming in the UK for over 350 years!
Again the new Russian accusation is completely believable, yet is completely unverifiable because CRU has refused to release the data. This data and code release that is the subject of illegal blocking of FOIA’s (freedom of information) is one of the keys in the Climategate emails. We need to know the list of stations used and we must have copies of the raw data to properly assess if a mega fraud has been perpetrated. If the Climategate scientists were real scientists and not crooks they would not have defied FOIA requests for three years. This is not how proper scientists do their work. And we would not now be in the position where lawsuits have been served to force these snake oil salesmen to show the world what they’ve got to hide.

The Russians are now making a very powerful accusation, which if true could totally stand on its head the whole climate science debate. Many of the so-called peer-reviewed papers allegedly supporting man made global warming are based on the Russian dataset that has the highest trend of the major ground datasets.
There has been much made of rising sea levels since the start of the Industrial Revolution, with the warming alarmists siezing apon it as a direct result of AGW. Of the few centimetres sea level has risen what portion can be attributed to urbanization, drainage, flood mitigation and reclaiming of wetlands. If if rains today, by tomorrow its flowing into the sea with little being retained on land as it did before we urbanized.
