Comments »Clouds do not Cause Climate Change: Study
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110906121951.htm
Andrew Dessler, a Texas A&M atmospheric sciences professor considered one of the nation’s experts on climate variations, says decades of data support the mainstream and long-held view that clouds are primarily acting as a so-called “feedback” that amplifies warming from human activity. His work is published in the American Geophysical Union’s peer-reviewed journal Geophysical Research Letters.
“The bottom line is that clouds have not replaced humans as the cause of the recent warming the Earth is experiencing,” Dessler says.
Dessler adds, “Over a century, however, clouds can indeed play an important role amplifying climate change.”
“I hope my analysis puts an end to this claim that clouds are causing climate change,” he adds.
Comments »1969 Apollo Moon Landing (Hoax) ‘evidence’ released; predicted by Billy Meier in 2004

New photographs released to silence conspiracy theory that Moon landings were a massive Nasa hoax.

However, in April 2004, Billy Meier said:
“You have further explained that the Moon landing lie will also be vehemently contested in the new millennium and everything will be undertaken to create “proof” and indeed again in the form that new fraudulent pictures are to be manufactured, in which allegedly, the first Moon landing’s “left-behind” objects and so forth, will be able to be “sighted” on the Moon through a new telescope and will be broadcast worldwide through television as a new fraud.”

Billy:
You talk too much, Quetzal, my friend.
Let us, from there, talk once again about the American Moon landings, even if we have already often done that.
I have here a book with the title “Die dunkle Seite von Apollo” [The Dark Side of Apollo] by Gernot L. Geise, which was published by Michaels-Verlag in the year 2002.
It has the ISB-Number 3-89539-607-9.
The research which the author undertook is astonishing and likewise expresses that the US Americans, respectively, NASA, undertook the greatest swindle of all time and has deceived the entire world in order to win the Cold War and the race to the Moon, and so forth, against the Soviet Union.
In addition to that, I am able to recall that earlier, once the talk was that NASA, subsequently, under certain circumstances, after the alleged first conjured up Moon race landing on July 20th, 1969, carried out manned or unmanned Moon landings, whereby all objects and so forth were then set out on the Moon which were supposed to have been left behind by the alleged first landing on the Moon.
The reason for that was supposed to have been, as I remember it, that it could later be “proven” that the first Moon landing, and also further ones, was actually supposed to have come about on July 20th, 1969.
You have further explained that the Moon landing lie will also be vehemently contested in the new millennium and everything will be undertaken to create “proof” and indeed again in the form that new fraudulent pictures are to be manufactured, in which allegedly, the first Moon landing’s “left-behind” objects and so forth, will be able to be “sighted” on the Moon through a new telescope and will be broadcast worldwide through television as a new fraud.
The whole thing can eventually actually come about through a new type of telescope, always with the prerequisite that real materials were set out on the Moon, yet it could also be that then everything is only a studio set-up, as with the alleged first Moon landing.
For this, indeed in suitable areas, hundreds of craters were created by means of underground explosions of blasting agents, and, with construction equipment, heaved-up hills would were created, which finally looked like a Moon landscape.
These areas, alongside special film studios, were then indeed also used for the lavish so-called training of astronauts.
The decisive machinations for the entire Moon landing swindle lead back fundamentally to Werner Freiherr von Braun and Walt Disney, who, together as good friends, already established everything earlier.
Walt Disney, as movie special effects specialist, suited NASA perfectly.
But, unfortunately, he died two and a half years before the execution of the swindle, on December 12th, 1966, if I remember correctly.
His ideas and those of Werner von Braun, who indeed died in 1977, I think that it was on June 16th, were then however still realised.

Ron Paul wins online poll after debate in virtual landslide with over 47% of vote. Romney 2nd with 19%.
Does Matt Drudge support Ron Paul? Naturally, his headlines are 24/7 anti-Obama, but have they become Ron Paul friendly?
Comments »Dessler vs. Rick Perry: Is the 2011 Texas Drought Evidence of Human-Caused Climate Change?
September 5th, 2011 by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.
One of the most annoying things about the climate change debate is that any regional weather event is blamed on humans, if even only partly. Such unscientific claims cannot be supported by data — they are little more than ambiguous statements of faith.
The current “exceptional” Texas drought is no exception. People seem to have short memories…especially if they were born after most of the major climate events of the past occurred.
Andy Dessler recently made what I’m sure he thought was a safe claim when faulting Texas Gov. Rick Perry for being “cavalier about climate change” (as if we could stop climate from changing by being concerned about it).
Dessler said, “..warming has almost certainly made the (Texas) heat wave and drought more extreme than it would otherwise have been.”
This clever tactic of claiming near-certainty of at least SOME effect of humans on weather events was originally invented by NASA’s James Hansen in his 1988 Senate testimony for Al Gore, an event that became the turning point for raising public awareness of “global warming” (oops, I’m sorry, I mean climate change).
The trouble is that climate change theory predicts changes, up and down, in just about anything you can imagine. So, anything unusual that happens anywhere, anytime, is deemed “consistent” with global warming.
But this tactic can work both ways — a specific drought might have instead been made LESS severe by the general tendency toward MORE rainfall, which is a much more robust prediction of the climate models with warming.
For example, let’s look at June-July total rainfall over the whole contiguous U.S. — which is only 1.6% of the Earth’s surface — over the last 100+ years (August data are not yet posted at NCDC):
