Newsletter Number 4 For 2010 From the Climate Realists Against the ETS
Here is the latest newsletter from Neil and Esther Henderson. If you would like to sign up for a free newsletter, or offer your opinion or suggestions, don't hesitate to e-mail the Hendersons at doonhill@farmside.co.nz.
Hello again Climate Realists,
Welcome to newsletter number four- there's so much going on, this newsletter comes out a bit sooner; but with a fair bit of farm work looming over the next few days you may not hear much from us for a wee while.
This network is made of a huge variety of people, some who prefer to quietly observe, some who will write letters, some who will protest in the streets.... all united by a common concern that our world is being hijacked by a group or groups who are using the lie of human-induced global warming to push their own agendas.
Last week we put out a call for volunteers to show up at the Green Party Picnic in Wellington. Thanks to Jade who took up the challenge. An edited report is below:
It went well today thanks. This morning I spent about 30min looking for flyers, to hand out but ended up creating one by about 1pm . I printed and distributed just over 140 flyers. It was a nice day (3pm-4pm), no wind. I was deliberating about how best to hand out and then the band starting singing a song with the words "wake up, wake up" as the main chorus. That was my cue.
I had a couple of guys try to get on my case, but I grabbed the flyer back from their hands, said thank-you (for returning), and moved on. .....................
I'm pretty busy with other projects currently, and GW hoax doesn't take much priority for me, but if there are ever any small events like this to chip in to distribute flyers or support other people etc., just let me know (I don't bother much with mainstream media so often don't know what is happening).
Interestingly, in Civic Square there was a family planning tent, contraceptive dedicated tent, a large gay community (maybe 50+) & continuous gay stage performances, and a police recruitment tent (5 girl cops).
Jade
Myles, another of our members, has also fronted up to Green activists, with slightly less positive results.
His report is here:
http://clareswinney.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/“sign-on”-climate-change-counter-protest-in-wellington-new-zealand/
As a result of these events, we have decided to produce some pamphlets suitable for distribution to climate change believers. Watch this space.
All the best,
Neil and Esther

COPENHAGEN ACCORD
From the NZ Herald:
Prime Minister John Key says New Zealand will not be signing a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the post-2012 period under the Copenhagen Accord's deadline of February 1.
How much it amounts to will not be clear until early next month, when the annexes of the document are due to be populated with quantified offers to cut emissions, in the case of developed countries, and to curb the growth in emissions, in the case of the major developing ones.
But Key said yesterday that New Zealand's 2013-2020 emissions reduction target, of 10 to 20 per cent less than 1990 levels, remains conditional.
Full article here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10621127
John Key has stated NZ won't sign- at this stage-
********Perhaps time for us to write a lot of letters and suggest he never sign?*********
Only four countries -- Australia, Canada, Papua New Guinea and the
Maldives have signed the Copenhagen Accord so far,
And though Australia and Canada have signed, they have not indicated the
greenhouse gas emission reductions they are committing under the accord.
This will create a stir in a lot of high places!

CLIMATEGATE BOOK
First Book On The Climategate Scandal Just Published
January 19 2010
The first book on the Climategate scandal has just been published
Climategate: The Crutape Letters
by Steven Mosher, Thomas W. Fuller
From the publishers website:
https://www.createspace.com/3423467
The Climategate scandal covered from beginning to end - from 'Hide the
Decline' to the current day. Written by two authors who were on the scene -
Steven Mosher and Tom Fuller - Climategate takes you behind that scene and
shows what happened and why.
For those who have heard that the emails were taken out of context - we
provide that context and show it is worse when context is provided.
For those who have heard that this is a tempest in a teacup - we show
why it
will swamp the conventional wisdom on climate change.
And for those who have heard that this scandal is just 'boys being boys' -
well, boy. It's as seamy as what happened on Wall Street.

THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT US IN BRITAIN:
These two YouTube videos take about a minute and a half each, and are
each a model of how to pack a political punch on climate skepticism.
Godrey Bloom is a British member of the European Parliament. (Would that
our NZ MP's could be so forcefully succinct!)

Then, this one includes reference to NIWA.

Coal Driven Power Stations and Carbon Dioxide ... The Real Story....
While this information relates to Australia a similar scenario exists in every other country around the world World.
Are our Politicians going to put a stop the the stupid IPCC rubbish that is being thrust on us by the United Nations.
Or are they really really that stupid that they actually believe that man is the major cause of climate change?
I sincerely hope not.
This article appeared in the Rockhampton morning Bulletin on 22.12.09. Although I have never ever met the author I was, after some difficulty, able to contact him by phone.
This is an excellent piece for my friends to send to their politicians or to anybody who needs to be educated about Australia's Coal driven power houses.
Terry is now retired and is in excellent health at age 69. Nobody paid him to write the article which was, (to their credit), published by the local press.
Terry told me I could distribute his article as I saw fit.
Written By Terence Cardwell
The Editor
Morning Bulletin.
I have sat by for a number of years frustrated at the rubbish being put forth about carbon dioxide emissions, thermal coal fired power stations and renewable energy and the ridiculous Emissions Trading Scheme.
Frustration at the lies told (particularly during the election) about global pollution. Using Power Station cooling towers for an example. The condensation coming from those cooling towers is as pure as that that comes out of any kettle.
Frustration about the so called incorrectly named man made 'carbon emissions' which of course is Carbon Dioxide emissions and what it is supposedly doing to our planet.
Frustration about the lies told about renewable energy and the deliberate distortion of renewable energy and its ability to replace fossil fuel energy generation. And frustration at the ridiculous carbon credit programme which is beyond comprehension.
And further frustration at some members of the public who have not got a clue about thermal Power Stations or Renewable Energy. Quoting ridiculous figures about something they clearly have little or no knowledge of.
First coal fired power stations do NOT send 60 to 70% of the energy up the chimney. The boilers of modern power station are 96% efficient and the exhaust heat is captured by the economisers and reheaters and heat the air and water before entering the boilers.
The very slight amount exiting the stack is moist as in condensation and CO2. There is virtually no fly ash because this is removed by the precipitators or bagging plant that are 99.98% efficient. The 4% lost is heat through boiler wall convection.
Coal fired Power Stations are highly efficient with very little heat loss and can generate massive amount of energy for our needs. They can generate power at efficiency of less than 10,000 b.t.u. per kilowatt and cost wise that is very low.
The percentage cost of mining and freight is very low. The total cost of fuel is 8% of total generation cost and does NOT constitute a major production cost.
As for being laughed out of the country, China is building multitudes of coal fired power stations because they are the most efficient for bulk power generation.
We have, like, the USA, coal fired power stations because we HAVE the raw materials and are VERY fortunate to have them. Believe me no one is laughing at Australia - exactly the reverse, they are very envious of our raw materials and independence.
The major percentage of power in Europe and U.K. is nuclear because they don't have the coal supply for the future.
Yes it would be very nice to have clean, quiet, cheap energy in bulk supply. Everyone agrees that it would be ideal. You don't have to be a genius to work that out. But there is only one problem---It doesn't exist.
Yes - there are wind and solar generators being built all over the world but they only add a small amount to the overall power demand.
The maximum size wind generator is 3 Megawatts, which can rarely be attained on a continuous basis because it requires substantial forces of wind. And for the same reason only generate when there is sufficient wind to drive them. This of course depends where they are located but usually they only run for 45% -65% of the time, mostly well below maximum capacity. They cannot be relied for a 'base load' because they are too variable. And they certainly could not be used for load control.
The peak load demand for electricity in Australia is approximately 50,000 Megawatts and only small part of this comes from the Snowy Hydro Electric System (The ultimate power Generation) because it is only available when water is there from snow melt or rain. And yes they can pump it back but it cost to do that. (Long Story).
Tasmania is very fortunate in that they have mostly hydro electric generation because of their high amounts of snow and rainfall. They also have wind generators (located in the roaring forties) but that is only a small amount of total power generated.
Based on a average generating output of 1.5 megawatts (of unreliable power) you would require over 33,300 wind generators.
As for solar power generation much research has been done over the decades and there are two types. Solar thermal generation and Solar Electric generation but in each case they cannot generate large amounts of electricity.
Any clean, cheap energy is obviously welcomed but they would NEVER have the capability of replacing Thermal power generation. So get your heads out of the clouds, do some basic mathematics and look at the facts not going off with the fairies (or some would say the extreme greenies.)
We are all greenies in one form or another and care very much about our planet. The difference is most of us are realistic. Not in some idyllic utopia where everything can be made perfect by standing around holding a banner and being a general pain in the backside.
Here are some facts that will show how ridiculous this financial madness the government is following. Do the simple maths and see for yourselves.
According to the 'believers' the CO2 in air has risen from .034% to .038% in air over the last 50 years.
To put the percentage of Carbon Dioxide in air in a clearer perspective;
If you had a room 12 ft x 12 ft x 7 ft or 3.7 mtrs x 3.7 mtrs x 2.1 mtrs, the area carbon dioxide would occupy in that room would be .25m x .25m x .17m or the size of a large packet of cereal.
Australia emits 1 percent of the world's total carbon Dioxide and the government wants to reduce this by twenty percent or reduce emissions by .2 percent of the world's total CO2 emissions.
What effect will this have on existing CO2 levels? By their own figures they state the CO2 in air has risen from .034% to .038% in 50 years. Assuming this is correct, the world CO2 has increased in 50 years by .004 percent.
Per year that is .004 divided by 50 = .00008 percent. (Getting confusing -but stay with me).
Of that because we only contribute 1% our emissions would cause CO2 to rise .00008 divided by 100 = .0000008 percent.
Of that 1%, we supposedly emit, the governments wants to reduce it by 20% which is 1/5th of .0000008 = .00000016 percent effect per year they would have on the world CO2 emissions based on their own figures.
That would equate to an area in the same room, as the size of a small pin head.
For that they have gone crazy with the ridiculous trading schemes, Solar and roofing installations, Clean coal technology. Renewable energy, etc, etc.
How ridiculous it that.
The cost to the general public and industry will be enormous. Cripple and even closing some smaller business.
T.L. Cardwell
To the Editor I thought I should clarify. I spent 25 years in the Electricity Commission of NSW working, commissioning and operating the various power units. My last was the 4 X 350 MW Munmorah Power Station near Newcastle. I would be pleased to supply you any information you may require.

Let me get this right
The fraudster who runs the IPCC
global warming scam
and makes millions from that office
employs the bloke
who gave the scientific evidence for glacier melt in the Himalayas
totally removing them from the face of the earth
by 2035
over the phone
to a bloke at New Scientist
who printed it
and when the WWF used this in a report
and from that it got into report 4
of the IPCC as solid evidence
they were melting
for which report the IPCC
received a Nobel Peace Prize
Taxpayers so far
have had 92 billion dollars
wasted
supposedly stopping runaway world warming
in the middle of a global freeze.
you could never sell this farce as fiction
Any fiction editor would say
"it is preposterous
people would never be so gullible
politicians
would see through the fraud
the green religionists
would not build themselves
40 million dollar yachts
business would not join the
lolly scramble and sell
derivatives for a beneficial gas?"
Dear Lord
how many more
of these media assisted
scaremongering
episodes of madness
straight out of TV horror scare stories
(SARS Swine Flu Y2K etc etc)
do we have to suffer
before the money runs out
or the taxpayers wake up to themselves.
