“Marketed under the imprimatur of the IPCC, the bladder-trembling and now infamous hockey-stick diagram that shows accelerating warming during the 20th century – a statistical construct by scientist Michael Mann and co-workers from mostly tree ring records – has been a seminal image of the climate scaremongering campaign. Thanks to the work of a Canadian statistician, Stephen McIntyre, and others, this graph is now known to be deeply flawed.”

‘deeply’ flawed ? but the author doesn’t explain the flaws

more information about oceanic volcanoes.

“Gabbro is a dense type of rock formed from the slow cooling of magma chambers beneath mid-ocean ridges. Along with gabbro, the team hauled up a complete stratified core of the overlaying crust.

By studying the gabbro along with the crust section, scientists will better understand the formation and structure of oceanic crust, a process that affects plate tectonics, builds mountains, and sets off earthquakes and volcanoes.

“This process covers 60 percent of the Earth’s surface, and it’s an ongoing process that has replaced all of the seafloor since 180 million years ago,” study co-author Douglas Wilson of the University of California, Santa Barbara told LiveScience. “In terms of understanding the planet, it’s a fundamental process.”

Nuclear is equally bad – maybe worse. Where will we put the radioactive material coming out of all those mini-reactors? The only thing that seems to make sense is to start maximizing what nature already makes a lot of – methane (natural gas). Compressed natural gas (CNG) can be used in our vehicles with very few modifications, and the atmosphere would not bear the load of combustion products coming from underground. Instead, CNG can be made from surface materials. It is created from sewage, decaying vegetable matter on farms and forests and farm animal gas! (hard to collect, that last item is).

Finally, the scientists that have been maligned here are hard at work on Zero Point Energy (ZPE). If this ever translates into a workable technology, and we can somehow overcome the robber barons and the powers that be, no one need want for free energy ever again (or so these scientists say!). Hm-mmm – sounds familiar . . . I heard them say that once about atomic energy.
