Global Cooling Most Dependable for Serious Investors

b2ap3_thumbnail_globalCooling.jpg

 

Are Global Warming Advocates Just Full of Hot Air? Is Global Cooling a More Accurate Characterization?

 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released Part 5 of its global warming warning in January 2014 to let the world know how perilous continuation on the present industrialization path should be perceived in the context of climate change. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/

 

At just about the time that report was coming out, snow covered Cairo for the first time in 112 years. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/13/cairo-snow_n_4441049.html

 

In the United States, 2013 showed the largest one-year temperature drop ever recorded, and that year now stands as one of the coldest in history. http://iceagenow.info/2013/12/2013-ten-coldest-years-history/

 

The volume of Antarctic ice has reached record high levels this year. http://www.reportingclimatescience.com/news-stories/article/latest-data-shows-arctic-ice-volume-has-increased.html And new data about the level of the Antarctic land mass shows how wrong past judgments have been due to faulty data. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-21692423

 

From HFS analysis, investors closely watching weather for signals on when to buy and sell stocks related directly to temperature changes, no one should depend on any IPCC reports. What can investors depend on?

 

 

One answer has been offered by http://www.accesswire.com in a three-part series of analyses based on less popular yet reliable weather data. In a recent publication of the first part, ‘global cooling’ most accurately describes how weather is now changing and how it will most likely continue to change over the next two decades. Here at HFS, we call that a trend. The trend appears to be measured almost exclusively on the basis of sun activity, not human activity on earth. Such a new and perhaps radical view of climate change, from an investor’s standpoint, deserves close watching. What do you think?

El Nino Returns in 2014, Says NOAA

b2ap3_thumbnail_ElNino1.jpg

El Nino Expected for 2014

 

Today the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) acting director, Mike Halpert, forecast El Nino activity for 2014. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/

 

Other scientists have confirmed Halpert’s forecast with new modeling technology. http://news.yahoo.com/comes-el-nino-good-news-us-weather-woes-142354512.html

 

El Nino refers to increased mid Pacific water temperatures that trigger major worldwide weather changes, so predicting El Nino occupies the time of many scientists, economists, and medical care providers. http://www.elnino.noaa.gov/document.html#predicting

 

The most recent past El Nino event in 1997-1998 caused over $3 B in crop loss, so economists worldwide have begun paying close attention to today’s NOAA report. Analysts at http://HamiltonFinanceServices.com have tallied this list of good and bad effects expected in 2014 and 2015 from this year’s El Nino, if it happens:

 

Good

Atlantic hurricanes reduce

US west coast rain increases

US Midwest winter temperatures moderate

 

Bad

Heat waves kill hundreds worldwide

Crop failures worldwide

$Billions economic loss worldwide

Poorer fishing worldwide

All global warming indicators jump up

All insect-born diseases jump up

 

By this analysis, the bad effects clearly surpass the good. The hardest hit areas include coastal economies, especially Peru, South America, where both historic flooding and dreadful fishing have impacted the entire nation for decades. While a few in the US might say the El Nino brings positive benefits, most of the world will disagree. http://www.sfgate.com/news/science/article/Here-comes-El-Nino-good-news-for-US-weather-woes-5293440.php

 

 

How about you? How has El Nino impacted your area historically?

Volcanic Ash Lowers Global Warming Rate

b2ap3_thumbnail_VulcanAshReducesGlobalWarming.jpgVolcanic Ash Accounts for Warming Slow-down, Maybe More

 

The 17 volcanoes since the year 2000 account for a slow-down in global warming, according to a Lawrence Livermore environmental study released today. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/23/climate-volcanoes-idUSL6N0LQ2K620140223

 

Ash from the volcanoes shaded the atmosphere enough to counteract effects of higher carbon dioxide that traps heat in the planet biosphere. Maybe this explains why winter in my home state of Wisconsin, USA, seems as cold as when I grew up in the 1950’s. Next week temperatures will drop below zero, according to local forecasts. http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/La+Crosse+WI+54601:4:US

 

Some predict that decreased attention to warming might impact the UN climate deal to be signed in Paris during 2015. http://www.franceonu.org/france-at-the-united-nations/un-express-922/article/21-may-2013-france-will-host-in The “21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change” will be the site for agreement by 200 nation-states around the world over $1T of expenditures to move the world toward renewable energy sources.

 

To analysts at http://HamiltonFinanceServices.com there is little likelihood of any change for the planned signing of the UN climate convention. Nonetheless, they note that if volcanoes increase their activities around the globe for the foreseeable future, the argument for global warming prevention might suffer political setbacks.

No Matter What We Do, Floods Must Hit All Coasts Due to Pine Island Glacier Thaw

b2ap3_thumbnail_PineIsland.jpgAntarctic Ice Thaw To Flood For Decades Even Without Global Warming

 

Global warming does not account for the Antarctic’s Pine Island Glacier thaw dumping water into the ocean for the foreseeable decades or longer, whether or not global warming persists and whether or not human societies change their energy consumption patterns. It happened at least once before, according to glacier scientists, and it is happening again right now. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/20/us-climate-antarctica-idUSBREA1J1V620140220

 

The consequences of the big thaw cannot be overstated. They include rising coastal shores across every continent, meaning evacuation of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of homes; relocation of flood refugees to higher ground; and likely tensions as refugee numbers mount in places where available land remains scarce. http://www.climatecodered.org/2010/01/pine-island-glacier-loss-must-force.html

 

That’s just the tip of the consequences, however. With the net increase in ocean water, the capacity of the planet to store energy increases, meaning weather patterns will shift, first along coasts, but soon, that is, within a few decades, across plains, along the mountain ranges, and in every jungle, desert, and steppe region there is. http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/v4/n2/full/nclimate2094.html

 

Here at http://HamiltonFinanceServices.com historically we have joined with other organizations to promote awareness of global warming trends, accepting the predominant sentiment that if societies could change their energy consumption patterns, effects of warming might be delayed, minimized, or better, controlled. http://www.nrdc.org/globalwarming/fcons/fcons4.asp With the latest reports of Antarctic thawing on Pine Island, however, a new priority has emerged. We, meaning all of humanity, must move away from coastal shores en masse…NOW.

 

That’s the view in our corner, but what do you think?
