    Climate change - the ultimate excuse

    It may be hard to believe, but less than a decade ago the “greens” were an avowedly leftwing party (and described as such by Gormley himself at national convention). Every effort was made by the volunteer
    (and elected) national council to reflect as much of Irish society as possible in a wide range of policies; most of us who served thereon have very warm memories of our colleagues there. A warning signal was that the current bunch of elected reps showed up perhaps once each over a five-year period; Gormley's contempt for policy is best attested by the fact he lived less than a mile away from the hotel where meetings took place, and only showed up once – ironically for an incinerator discussion

    There is much controversy about climate change, largely because the “hockey stick” model – let's be patriotic(!) and call it the “hurley” - is a palpable fake to anyone who knows even the most minor aspects of time series prediction. Any attempt to come to conclusions as broad of Al Gore does would need massively more evidence, and the hurley was done without any reference to the wide community of statisticians. That is not to say that climate change is not occurring, and indeed it may be partly anthropogenic. However, it is its political and financial uses which are more significant

    Wrt gore, it could be argued that Gore got the Nobel and his currently lucrative career for staying quiet like a good little boy while Bush stole the 2000 election. Gormley had similar problems. He wanted to be a minister, but hated the idea of an independent set of policies acting as constraints, particularly as he is by no means a real green of any sort. So farewell integrity, truth, respect for the law – let alone the policies we used pass on national council about the Arts, waste, GMOS, and so on. Gormley first tried a policy coup – all policies could be summarily changed by the elected reps, utterly in defiance of the will of the members. When this was turned down, he looked into the void – and liked what he saw

    FF were never going to allow him interfere with their sacred scams, many of which he had exposed in the Dail – the music biz/IMRO, DCU, banking and so on – let alone shell, Tara, etc. Why not just tear up all the policies and find a new utterly controversial and apparently urgent issue for stupid kids to get excited about? Therein lies the true genius of climate change as a political tool; it is rather like transubstantiation and life after death in that non-one can possibly disprove it, non-one really need do anything except shout down all who oppose it, and it gives a free pass to finished narcissists like Gormley and his colleagues as they destroy 25 years' hard work by activists committed to the sanctity not just of the physical environment, but forms of human life that inform our time on earth with purpose and meaning.

    What scam did he interfere with about IMRO?

    Gormley, who is IMO guilty of criminal collusion with FF scum, asked a series of questions which are described in the bottom of

    The Irish music scam

    Gogarty then took it up in the dail; finally eamon ryan

    Just a bizarre, rambling OP. All over the place, with no relation to the headline.

    Especially seeing as the hurley model has been repeatedly confirmed by new evidence, which has definitely not been tampered with.
    When you see the words "Mises" or "Hayek" in someone's post, just ask yourself: do I really want to ban paper money and go back to gold?

    You have to pity the kind of people who buy into conspiracy theories. I find the following to be the saddest words on the internet: "Re: connection between Bilderberg puppet lady gaga and viral outbreak in ukraine "

    pangur1 is former poster, erigena, who was well know for his rambling monologues, all of which contain references to DCU and IMRO, regardless of the subject at hand.
    A demagogue is someone who will preach doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

    Would be rather proud of erigena's posts as DCU and IMRO are only two of the major criminal scams he posted about, judiciously

    None of you have the foggiest what you're talking about. indeed, you are exactly the kind of twits that gormley manipulates The hockey stick/hurley has NEVER been confirmed, nor can it be, as it is BS. the science is below....and yes, I know you will not understand a word.

    DCU lost in the Supreme court December 2009. don't you read the papers?

    The Imro case was won both in Britain and the USA - as well as Ireland, and was apparently in the phoenix this week

    I know you won't understand a word, any more than Mann would, but this is an introduction to how you do time series analysis........


    "


    The hilbert transform calculates attributes of a time series, especially the amplitude and frequency, and summarises in an “analytic signal”. The analytic signal is useful in the area of communications, particularly in bandpass signal processing, where it can be utilised for the minimisation of “aliasing” or “jagging” in graphics applications. The analytic signal has a real part corresponding to the original data, and an imaginary part which contains the Hilbert transform. The imaginary part is a version of the original real sequence with a 90° phase shift. Sines are therefore transformed to cosines and vice versa.

    As described in any reliable source like the matlab manual, for a pure sinusoid, the instantaneous amplitude and frequency are constant. The instantaneous phase, however, is a sawtooth, reflecting the way in which the local phase angle varies linearly over a single cycle. For mixtures of sinusoids, the attributes are short term, or local, averages spanning no more than two or three points.



    Briefly, we can write

    a = hilbert(b)

    where the real part of a is the original real data and the imaginary part is the actual Hilbert transform. a is sometimes called the analytic signal, in reference to the continuous-time analytic signal.


    The Hilbert transformed series has the same amplitude and frequency content as the original real data and includes phase information that depends on the phase of the original data. The instantaneous amplitude is the amplitude of the complex Hilbert transform; the instantaneous frequency is the time rate of change of the instantaneous phase angle"

    now to climate change........Mann refused to hand over his data and algorithms until congress intervened....and of course it turned out to be CRAP

    The problem is that climate change may be happening.........but fraud , both mann's and that of East anglia,will not help anyone

    and why are you guys so invested in it? See Harper's feb 2010 for the scams being worked by "carbon traders"

    How exactly is is impossible to disprove the anthropogenic climate change theory?
    "But do 'climategate' revelations justify the sceptics’ claims that this is “the final nail in the coffin” of global warming theory? Not at all. They damage the credibility of three or four scientists. They raise questions about the integrity of one or perhaps two out of several hundred lines of evidence."

    Interesting incoherent ramble - is there a full moon or something?
