ONE COMPONENT OF GLOBAL WARMING IS MAN-MADE. IT’S CALLED GEOENGINEERING.
2016 Nov 4 from Rebecca
Hi Ed,
I listen to Dr. Gary Null on WBAI-FM radio and, according to him and some of the guest speakers, the warming is in the oceans. We know nature has a hand in it but what about humans and also weather manipulation … HAARP? There are just too many horrific disasters anymore and too frequently ongoing.

REPLY BY GEG:
Hello Rebecca.
I am certain that all of these factors play a role, but the bottom line is that most of the natural forces are, themselves, influenced by solar activity, the greatest of all natural forces. Geoengineering is not in that category and is the only factor that one could say is man-made. All of this will be documented at the Freedom Force Congress next month and will also be in the ensuing DVD album. I hope you will be able to attend the Phoenix event but, if not, the DVD album can be ordered now at discount. You will find both options explained at www.inconvenientlie.com. Thanks for writing.

IF ALL THE ICE MELTED, SO WHAT?
2016 Nov 3 from Gordon Claycomb
G.Edward,
The true science is that all of the ice at the Arctic is floating. When water freezes it expands by about 8 % so its density is less than water, and that 8+ % sticks up above the water due to buoyancy. When it melts, it shrinks in volume by the same 8%. SO IF ALL THE WATER AT THE NORTH POLE WERE TO MELT, THE SEA LEVEL WOULDN’T CHANGE ONE MILLIMETER (unless the water itself got warmer).

COMMENT BY GEG:
Interesting point, Gordon. If I understand this correctly, you are saying that, when an iceberg melts, the small portion that pertrudes into the air shrinks by 8% and flows into the water, causing the water level to rise. However, the larger part of the iceberg below water also shrinks by 8% causing the water level to drop.

The net effect is that the 8% portion obove-water adds 92% of its ice volume to the water volume when it melts, while the 92% portion below-water also loses 8% of its volume when it melts. Putting these two processes together, the net effect is (water increase 92% of 8% from above) and (water decrease 8% of 92% from below) = zero.

In other words, melting icebergs cause zero difference in sea level. Amazing!

I would be grateful if any “iceologists” out there would weigh in on this analysis to either confirm it or identify the flaw.

GLOBAL-WARMING CONFERENCE ON DVD?
2016 nOV FROM Kevin Straub
Hello Griffin establishment:
Thanks for all that you do. I try to faithfully read the Friday reports. About this climate-change conference— many of us simply cannot afford to get there (I am in Canada) but would like to take in the information. Will this all be available later on DVD?

REPLY FROM GEG:
Yes, it will be available on DVD. It even can be ordered now at a discounted price. You will find that option on the event information page here. Thanks for your interest.

ICE AGES COME AND GO
2016 Nov 3 from Ron Schenkelberg
Hi Mr. Griffin
We have had climate change over the centuries long before man had an influence on the atmosphere. Ice ages come and go. The problem is that liberals confuse natural climate change with manmade climate change (which is insignificant). Carbon dioxide has enabled plant growth and, therefore, cannot be evil. But when you need something to justify political control, this is a convenient ploy.

IT’S JUST THE SEASONS

Climate Change IS real! It’s called Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

CLIMATE CHANGE; GET USED TO IT
2016 Nov 3 from AMDG
Mr. Griffin,
You’re right, climate change is real. It’s called weather. Tell him [the Forum critic who equates climate change with global warming] to get used to it. As for the rising sea levels – does melting ice in a glass make it overflow? Nope.

CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE OLD TESTIMENT
2016 Nov 3 from Peter Watson
You know climate change is real as it is natural. You probably also know we are heading into a mini ice age due to Sun-spot activity. Man-made global warming is a political tool used by Marxists and junk science to inculcate us with fear and to urge us into the arms of Big Brother aka the Governmet aka The Beast. Have a great day and remember what God says about climate change (Genesis 8: 22): “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

IT’S NOT US. IT’S THE SUN.

Ed,
Global warming is real, but it’s not caused by us, it’s solar.

CLIMATE HAS BEEN CHANGING SINCE THE BEGINNING OF TIME
2016 Nov 3 from John Stefko
Actually, climate change IS real, but it’s nothing to be concerned about. The climate is changing and has been since the beginning of time. It’s the theory of anthropogenic global warming that is the scam.

It would certainly be nice if these highly educated climate scientists would learn the correct terms as well as their definitions. It would also be nice if they would agree to come out of the shadows and debate the real issue (i.e. explain why they continue to argue a significant causal relationship between CO2 and atmospheric temperature when all the evidence casts serious doubts). That is, after all, the cornerstone of their argument. Once that assumption is destroyed, they have nothing left to talk about.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS JUNK SCIENCE TO CREATE FEAR
2016 Nov 3 from Jacob Hiller
Whenever someone starts blathering about climate change, I simply inform them if they are north of the 49th parallel that where they stand at one time had a mile thick layer of ice. Yes the world is warming and we should be happy!

Climate change is junk science, and I have learned that fear is the greatest motivator. If I can make you afraid then I can sell you something!

CLIMATE CHANGE PART OF A NATURAL WEATHER CYCLE
2016 Nov. 3 from Bernard Lamb
Mr. Griffin,
Climate change may or may not be real. The truth has been obscured by the liars who bend available data to match their hysterical thesis of “man-caused climate change”. At the conclusion of the “Tioga Glaciation”, 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, sea level was approx. 400 feet lower that today. If we use the 20,000 year ago time as our starting point, the AVERAGE sea level rise from then until now is 2 ft/100 years. 10K to 20K years ago, you could have walked from the current location of San Francisco to the Farallon Islands on dry land. The climate has changed. Maybe it was caused by the thousands of Mongols and Eskimos who swarmed into North America while the sea level was low? No? Maybe then, it has been part of a natural weather cycle.

HEADED INTO A MINI ICE AGE
2016 Nov 3 from Brian Fahey
Mr Griffin,
I believe you will find we are headed into a Maunder Minimum, that is, a mini ice age. It will only be noticed in most areas by a shortening of growing days, which will have a terrible impact on our food supplies much as it did from 1645 – 1715 causing widespread starvation in Europe and elsewhere. Today, at least, we have the advantage of greenhouse food sources.

Valentina Zharkova, a professor of mathematics at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom, used a new model of the sun’s solar cycle, which is the periodic change in solar radiation, sunspots and other solar activity over a span of 11 years, to predict that “solar activity will fall by 60 percent during the 2030s.”

This is backed up by Ben Davidson of SuspiciousObservers.org and David DuByne, editor of www.oilseedcrops.org, the latter has the Youtube website, Adapt 2030.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT GLOBAL WARMING 2016 Nov 1 from Bob James
[This is in response to an upcoming event in Phoenix, entitled Global Warming; An Inconvenient Lie.]

Then why is the sea level rising? You’ve got this wrong. Sure the Clintons and others of their ilk are out to exploit carbon credits, etc, but climate change is for real.

REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello Bob.
If you can attend the event in Phoenix, you will learn that the sea level is not rising. That is part of the global-warming myth. In some places (five small reef islands in the Soloman Islands), the land is sinking and also being washed away by wave action (making it appear that the sea is rising) and in other places, the land is rising (making it appear that the sea is lowering). In mainstream media, we hear much about the first group but nothing about the second. In most of the world, there is absolutely no change at all. Yes, climate change is for real – just as it always has been every season of every year and every hour of every day, but long-term global warming is not real. Hope to see you in Phoenix. Please come and get the facts.
