Re: No. 15-1363 et al., State ofWest Virginia vs EPA

Dear Ms. Tomich:

1) I am outside the two parties as I am challenging the underlying science ofGlobal Warming, specifically that there is no scientific study detenniningnormal temperature upon which to measure increases.

I will be arguing that all federal global warming cases must be put on holduntil the EPA produces a scientific study determining normal temperaturesince the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago. It will be close to today’stemperature. We have to stop pretending there was no temperature orclimate before 1750. Maybe a fiction in law is ok, but a legal fiction ofscience is not.

2) I should be heard first as I my argument has nothing to do with the rest ofcase, but rather challenges the underlying science. Legal efficiency is theconcern. Why go through a long and prolonged trial if the EPA cannotproduce a scientific study determining normal temperature? This is ascience, after all, and you ought to be able to “pull it off the shelf,” a click,and immediately send it to the court. This could be a one day case.

I will be the only person in the courtroom who is not being paid to be there.This is on my dime. I would very much appreciate being first so that I cango home.

3) I will need 7 minutes.

4) I only care about the science.

1) I will be there defending science.

The Science of Global Warming

It is fraud on the court for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to base aclimate change legal argument on an unscientific normal temperature.

APR 252016 When is “Normal” Temperature?Question Assumptions

Iinled 1il(, (ou I

All climate warming court cases are based on fraud until he EPA uses scientific methodology todetermine a “normal” temperature upon which to measure increases.

If temperature is measured from the warmth when Christ was born 2000 years ago, then there isno global warming and we have just returned to “normal” temperature.

If temperature is measured from the depths of the cold Little Ice Age (1400 to 1900), as climatescientists do, then there is global warming. Pre-industrial temperature is measured from 1750 toblame industry/C02 and create climate jobs.

Climate scientists arbitrarily and maliciously chose the Little Ice Age as normal temperature sothat they could “prove” climate warming even though there were 10,500 warm years like nowbetween the Little Ice Age and the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago. It is fraud to use the Little IceAge as normal temperature.

Suppose all medical doctors claimed that normal human temperature was 95 degrees and that ifyour temperature is 98.6 degrees, then your head is going to explode. That is what climatescientists are doing. Why isn’t “normal” temperature a major scientific debate? Is this a science?

The fact is that we have naturally returned to the normal warm temperature over the past 11,000years and this is good, get used to it. There are consequences, such as 100 year droughts, lots ofrain, coastal flooding, and bigger crops. The market will move fresh water and people. No rush,this is geological timescale.

Measuring temperature increases from 1750 is a BIG secret. Here are some cites.

Global atmospheric concentrations ofCU2, CH4 andN20 have increased markedly as a result ofhuman activities since 1750 and nowfar exceedpre-industrial valueshttp://www.ipcc.ch/publications and data/ar4/syr/en/mains2-2.html United Nations

Since the Industrial Revolution began around 1750, human activities have contributedsubstantially to climate change by adding CO2 and other heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere.http ://www.epa.gov/climatechange/science/causes .html US Environmental Protection Agency

Previous interglacial ages hundreds of thousands of years ago were two degrees warmer than thisone.

Read Wild Little IceAge and Holocene Age. Below is a standard chart of temperature proxies(tree rings, pollen and C02 in ice plugs, etc) for the past 12,000 years. The black dip on the farright is the Little Ice Age and temperature increases are measured from the coldest part. Youhave to go back to the last Ice Age to find a similar cold temperature. The temperature proxieshave a wild variance and cannot record today’s temperature, giving one pause.

Carbon dioxide, C02, is a bogeyman. The Vostok 400,000 year old ice coreproves C02 changes lag behind temperature change. C02 does not causetemperature change, it follows it. C02 in the air during the dinosaurs millions ofyears ago was five times higher than today’s C02 level. Savannahs, forests, andswampland is not a bad worst case scenario.

The IPCC notes that Milankovitch cycles drove the ice age cycles; QZ followed temperaturechange “with a lag of some hundreds of years” (visible on a graph more zoomed in than this); andthat as a feedback amplified temperature change. Among other factors, C02 is more soluble in colderthan in warmer waters.

Will oceans rise? They should, but they won’t. Since the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago, theoceans rose for 5,000 years, absorbing the glacier melt, and now for the past 6,000 years theoceans have been relatively level. 5,500 of those years were warm like now and so the oceanwill not rise. The recent 500 yearlong Little Ice Age must not have lowered the ocean throughice accumulations in East Antarctica and Greenland as one would expect. It makes sense, EastAntarctica is a desert with little precipitation and all the glacier melt in the world is less than onepercent of the output of the Amazon River.

Other topics about climate statistics

1) Show me the money. Produce the scientific study that determines that 1750 is the normaltemperature since the last Ice Age, the one that temperature increases should be measuredagainst. There are none. The original scientific computer modeling of climate changeused 1000 as the base year. This was followed by 400 years of warm temperature, then500 years of extremely cold temperature (Little Ice Age), and 100 years of warm

temperature. The statistical trend was down, hence the 1974 Newsweek article statingthat all scientists agreed that we were entering a global cooling.

It did not fit current temperatures, though, so climate scientists arbitrary changed“normal” temperature to 1500, then 1750, pre-industrial, a political term. Real sciencemust determine the “normal” temperature since the last Ice Age and then we can measuretemperature increases.

2) For 5 years no federal funding should go to any climate scientist who claimed 1750 wasnormal temperature. They knowingly committed perjury for employment gain andshould be held responsible for their actions. All federal court cases based on climatechange must be vacated for fraud for using an unscientific normal temperature uponwhich to measure increases.

3) Climate scientists cherry pick dates to produce studies that prove their theory. James E.Hansen, formerly ofNASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and thegodfather of rigged studies, used 1950 (cold) and 2000 (warm) to “prove” globalwarming for the United Nations. Despite its ridiculously short duration, why not use thewarm dust bowl years in the 1930’s, or the warm temperature when Christ was born?

4) One of the reasons that we have not had global climate temperature increases in the past17 years is that climate scientists allegedly cooked the books. Raw temperature statisticsmust be massaged because there are anomalies. If a town in the middle of three othertowns has a different temperature, then they change it to the average of the others. Thisis statistically correct and half the temperatures should go up and half down. The originaltemperature records over the past 100 years have now been massaged three times andeach time the older temperatures get colder and the newer ones get warmer. After time,those massaged warmer newer temperatures ran into the wall of actual temperaturestoday.

University of East Anglia in England was the depository of all ancient temperature datarecords and it destroyed them because there was not room. These were records of sailingships dumping buckets into the ocean and measuring the water temperature. It wascriminal to destroy these records. Some institution would have gladly taken them. Nowwe have to trust their computer numbers.

5) The five hundred yearlong Little Ice Age that climate scientists fraudulently claim isnormal temperature is statistically insignificant. This incredibly cold period is less thanfive percent of the normal warm temperatures since the last Ice Age 11,000 years ago,two standard deviations from the norm, and so it should not even be included incalculations of “normal” temperature. In statistics one always throws out the highs andlows.

6) Storms were much worse during the Little Ice Age, there was just less property to bedestroyed 250 years ago. Climate scientists must stop claiming that warm weather causesmore storms. Warmer climate moderates storms.

7) Polar bears lived just fine for the 10,500 warm normal years since the last Ice Age. Nowbiologists claim this massive top predator cannot survive in the same warm temperatureagain. This is slander.

8) We have to stop accepting every environmental crackpot’s ideas as legitimate. Allscientific studies must be replicated using scientific methodology, based on a scientificnormal temperature. Hysterias that have been thoroughly debunked must be stopped,such as, “97% of climate scientists believe man caused global warming.” The sampleand assumptions are suspect.

9) Why do climate scientists say, “the warmest temperature in recorded history” and onlyinclude temperatures from the middle of the Little Ice Age to today? What about theother 10,500 warm years since the Last Ice Age? There was no thermometer back then,but temperature proxies are records. The easy answer is that temperature was invented in1725 by Fahrenheit and only thermometer records are used to measure temperaturechange, maliciously ignoring 10,500 years of known warm temperatures.

10) Why do weather forecasters use 150 years of Little Ice Age temperatures and 100 yearsof normal warm temperatures in their calculations of “average” temperature in the dailyforecast? Of course everything is warmer. To avoid contamination by cold temperaturesin the Little Ice Age, current “average temperature” calculations should only includetemperatures in the last 100 years.

11) The real statistical crime is that little is spent on the reality of returning to a warmernormal temperature. There will be more long droughts. The United States is rich inwater, it is just not in natural drought prone deserts where huge populations want to live.

It is misanthropic for the EPA to steal 40% of California’s water for a few smelt fish. Weused to catch them by the trashcan in Minnesota. Breed them elsewhere until the droughtis over.

First blush long-term canal routes are Oregon to California and Louisiana through thesouthern states to Arizona. Shift all federal climate change funding to canal and reservoirfunding and the canals will be built in a couple years. We will need these over the next10,000 years.

The take-away is that we have been swindled by environmental “scientists,” forced to try to holdback the tide because the sky is falling with an annual cost of tens of billions of dollars. Our1,000 year energy source, coal, was needlessly destroyed by the Federal EPA, thus increasing

electricity costs on the poor. Dirty air is not good, but it did not cause climate change. We havenaturally returned to normal warm temperature and must adjust.
