You don't think they are doing it just because they want to save the planet do you?
You don't know how science works.
Heatwave Generator
Posted on January 20, 2014 by Louis Hissink
Here’s the sequence of events that might lead to a weather heatwave.
1. Surge in EM energy into Sun, generates Flares, CME’s etc. This results in a
2. Surge in solar wind and/or CME ejected towards Earth
3. Earth is hit by the surge, aurora flare up, geomagnetic storms occur, earth re-equilibrates electrically by storing EM energy via EZ water path, and influx of protons at the poles, possibly causing unexpected ice formation in ‘summer’ and colder than normal winters in the wintered hemisphere. Earth is temporarily in balance with the solar surge.
4. Solar surge dissipates, and earth now out of electrical equilibrium with its plasma space environment.
5. Excess charge/energy in earth then leaks out either via earthquakes, cyclones/hurricanes and/or heat waves.
6. Earth back in equilibrium with immediate space environment until the next solar perturbation.
Update: Steve Goddard notes global sea Ice 3,000 Manhattans above normal here.
you don't. it's never a good idea to piss off a volcano. it will erupt in anger among other things.

More taxes and penalties on top.
Damn! How is it that the IPCC hasn't recruited me yet?
It stops at 2005 because one of the datasets used is: Carbon Flux to the Atmosphere from Land-Use Changes 1850-2005
I am sure they are working on a way. Volcanoes get too much of a free ride these days. Maybe Volcano credits or something.
Lol, maybe.
All they have to do is keep up their humanitarian reputation and they can always be developing.

Nah... the UN and Alarmists know China will never bend to their will so better to call them developing than risk the ceiling coming down for good. There are billions at stake... Dollars and Euros... not Yuans.
I do love seeing the parade of UN Wealth Distribution Climate Conferences fail one after the other though.
Are you a Sinophile?
Here's the deal: Global Warming folks are demanding that the American people accept a lower standard of living. Do you think the American people are likely to accept that demand?
Lower or pay for it... they would REALLY prefer the latter though.
It's all about money... nothing more.
Not at first perhaps but a bit of water cannoning and tazer teasing and yes I think they'll come around. Haven't they lowered their wages democratically over the last four decades to help the world cultivate democracy ?
Well, I like my sinuses well enough, but I'm not sure I'd claim that. Especially when the pollen count's up.
Actually, we could keep our standard if the population went down a notch.
And before anyone says it, decreased population growth is still population growth.
From the article...........

A draft report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has also noted this trend. It said that western countries were “outsourcing” emissions to countries like China through the production of cheap goods. quote
European Union overcomes British opposition to implement a deal that commits the member states to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030. The deal also requires the E.U. to generate 27% of its energy from renewables by the same deadline.
The EU is now the first to set out emissions reduction targets ahead of a crunch meeting of world governments in Paris in 2015 that will decide a global framework for avoiding dangerous levels of global warming. Every other major developed and developing economy is expected to set out its own binding national emissions target within the next year, for the United Nations talks to go ahead.

Worse, Canada is likely under-reporting its emissions. An investigation in 2013 found that Canada's reported emissions from its natural gas sector, the world's third largest, could be missing as much as 212Mt in 2011 alone.
"Canada appears to have vastly underestimated fugitive emissions (leaks) from gas exploration," possibly because of "inadequate accounting methodology " according to the Climate Action Tracker analysis done by Germany's Climate Analytics, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Dutch-based energy institute Ecofys.
Bill McKibben, founder of the grassroots climate campaigning organisation 350.org, told the Guardian: "Who'd have imagined that digging up the tar sands would somehow add carbon to the atmosphere? That Canada watched the Arctic melt and then responded like this will be remembered by history."
