Authored by Martin Armstrong via ArmstrongEconomics.com, Climate has ALWAYS changed from decade to decade.
There were major swings (volatility) during the 1930s. You had the
dust bowl during the summer and in 1936 you had record cold. The 1936
North American cold wave, which also hit Japan and China, still rank
among the most intense cold waves in the recorded history of North
America. You cannot blame this on soccer moms driving the kids around town burning fossil fuels. Cars were a luxury in the 1930s still. 数十年スケールでみると気候というのは常に変化している。 1930年代にも大きな変化があった。映画「怒りの葡萄」にもでた夏の砂嵐だ、そして1936年は記録的寒さだった。1936年には北アメリカに寒波が襲来した、これは日本や中国でも観測された(訳注:2.26事件は大寒波の中で決行されました)、北アメリカでは史上最悪の寒波だった。サッカー少年の母親たちが化石燃料を焚いて子供を車で送り迎えしたことを責めることはできない。1930年代には車は高価なものだった。
There is just no evidence of human-induced climate change. There is nobody willing to call them out on this nonsense with just showing the dramatic swings in temperature over the centuries.
It’s a well-kept secret, but 95 per cent of the climate
models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and
catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of
temperature stasis, to be in error. もうこれは公然の秘密だが、世の中で議論されている気候モデルの95%はヒト由来CO2と関連付けられており、壊滅的な地球温暖化が見られると言う、もう20年も気温は変化していないにもかかわらずだ、モデルの間違いは明らかだ。
It’s not surprising.
それは驚くことではない。
We have been subjected to extravagance from climate catastrophists for close to 50 years. 我々はもう50年近くも気候大変動に不毛な議論を続けてきた。 In January 1970, Life magazine,
based on “solid scientific evidence”, claimed that by 1985 air pollution
would reduce the sunlight reaching the Earth by half. In fact, across
that period sunlight fell by between 3 per cent and 5 per cent. In a
1971 speech, Paul Ehrlich said: “If I were a gambler I would take even
money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”
Fast forward to March 2000 and David Viner, senior research scientist at the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, told The Independent,
“Snowfalls are now a thing of the past.” In December 2010, the Mail
Online reported, “Coldest December since records began as temperatures
plummet to minus 10C bringing travel chaos across Britain”.
時が経ち2000年3月には、David Viner,East Anglia大学の気象研究部門の研究者、がインデペンデント誌にこう述べた、「いまや降雪はもう昔話となってしまった」。2010年12月には、the Mail Onlineがこう伝えた、「観測史上極寒の12月でマイナス10度まで下落し英国全体が混乱状態になり始めた」。
We’ve had our own busted predictions. Perhaps the most preposterous was climate alarmist Tim Flannery’s 2005 observation:
“If the computer records are right, these drought conditions will
become permanent in eastern Australia.” Subsequent rainfall and severe
flooding have shown the records or his analysis are wrong. We’ve
swallowed dud prediction after dud prediction. What’s more, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which we were instructed was
the gold standard on global warming, has been exposed repeatedly for
misrepresentation and shoddy methods.
Weather bureaus appear to have “homogenised” data to suit
narratives. NASA’s claim that 2014 was the warmest year on record was
revised, after challenge, to only 38 per cent probability. Extreme weather events, once blamed on global warming, no longer are, as their frequency and intensity decline. Why then, with such little evidence, does the UN
insist the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on futile
climate change policies? Perhaps Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN’s Framework on Climate Change has the answer?
In Brussels last February she said, “This is the first time in the
history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of
intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic
development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since
the Industrial Revolution.”
In other words, the real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook. 言い換えると、本当の議題は政治的権力に集約される。地球温暖化は計略にすぎない。
Figueres is on record saying democracy is a poor political system for
fighting global warming. Communist China, she says, is the best model.
This is not about facts or logic. It’s about a new world order under the
control of the UN. It is opposed to capitalism and freedom and has made
environmental catastrophism a household topic to achieve its objective.
Figueres says that, unlike the Industrial Revolution, “This is a centralised transformation that is taking place.”
She sees the US partisan divide on global warming as
“very detrimental”. Of course. In her authoritarian world there will be
no room for debate or disagreement.
Make no mistake, climate change is a must-win battlefield for authoritarians and fellow travellers.
As Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation, says: “Even if the
(climate change) theory is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in
terms of economic and environmental policy.”
Having gained so much ground, eco-catastrophists won’t let up. After
all, they have captured the UN and are extremely well funded. They have a
hugely powerful ally in the White House. They have successfully
enlisted compliant academics and an obedient and gullible mainstream
media (the ABC and Fairfax in Australia) to push the scriptures
regardless of evidence.
They will continue to present the climate change movement as
an independent, spontaneous consensus of concerned scientists,
politicians and citizens who believe human activity is “extremely
likely” to be the dominant cause of global warming. (“Extremely likely” is a scientific term?)
And they will keep mobilising public opinion using fear and appeals
to morality. UN support will be assured through promised wealth
redistribution from the West, even though its anti-growth policy
prescriptions will needlessly prolong poverty, hunger, sickness and
illiteracy for the world’s poorest.
Figueres said at a climate summit in Melbourne recently that she was
“truly counting on Australia’s leadership” to ensure most coal stayed
in the ground.
Hopefully, like India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tony Abbott
isn’t listening. India knows the importance of cheap energy and is set
to overtake China as the world’s leading importer of coal. Even Germany
is about to commission the most coal-fired power stations in 20 years.
There is a real chance Figueres and those who share her centralised power ambitions will succeed.
As the UN’s December climate change conference in Paris approaches,
Australia will be pressed to sign even more futile job-destroying
climate change treaties.
Resisting will be politically difficult. But resist we
should. We are already paying an unnecessary social and economic price
for empty gestures. Enough is enough. これに抵抗するのは政治的に難しいだろう。しかし抵抗すべきだ。我々はすでに無意味な社会的経済的対価を払ってきた。もううんざりだ。
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...

That high consolidation really weighed on sentiment, with greed giving way to apathy. This sector normally tends to suffer a seasonal slump into mid-March, paving the way for gold stocks’ spring rally. That’s their second-strongest seasonal surge of the year running into early June. Seasonality is the tendency for prices to exhibit recurring patterns at certain times during the calendar year. While seasonality doesn’t drive price action, it quantifies annually-repeating behavior driven by sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals. We humans are creatures of habit and herd, which naturally c...
最後の2段落だけ訳を入れておきます。 Gold-Stock Bull Breakout! Adam Hamilton April 24, 2020 2845 Words The gold miners’ stocks surged to a major bull-market breakout this week! Powering decisively above their years-old secular resistance is a hugely-important technical event. It proves this gold-stock bull is alive and well, greatly improves sentiment, and puts this high-flying sector on countless more traders’ radars. New bull highs fuel self-feeding bullish psychology, as speculators and investors love chasing winners. The gold miners’ stocks are essentially leveraged plays on gold, since its price overwhelmingly drives their earnings and thus ultimately stock prices. So gold-stock bulls and bears mirror and amplify gold’s own major market cycles. Today’s secular gold bull began marching in mid-December 2015, birthed from choking despair. Gold stocks’ ...
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれておきます。 Gold Stocks Remain Cheap Adam Hamilton December 20, 2019 2800 Words The gold miners’ stocks have suffered a lackluster few months. That’s a disheartening contrast to their powerful summer upleg on gold’s bull-market breakout. While this healthy gold-stock correction likely isn’t over yet, the gold miners remain very undervalued relative to the metal they produce. That means they still have massive upside left in this secular gold bull. Sentiment just needs rebalancing before its next upleg. In recent months I’ve written a lot about gold’s correction, which is naturally driving a parallel one in the gold miners’ stocks. I’ve explained why speculators’ positioning in gold futures, gold’s dominant primary short-term driver, remains bearish with potential selling vastly outweighing likely buying. I’ve shown how shallow ...
大切な数段落だけ訳しておきます。 Silver Miners’ Q4’18 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton March 29, 2019 4073 Words The major silver miners have rallied higher on balance in recent months, enjoying a young upleg. That’s a welcome change after they suffered a miserable 2018. Times are tough for silver miners, since silver’s prices have languished near extreme lows relative to gold. That has forced many traditional silver miners to increasingly diversify into gold. The major silver miners’ recently-released Q4’18 results illuminate their struggles. Four times a year publicly-traded companies release treasure troves of valuable information in the form of quarterly reports. Required by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, these 10-Qs and 10-Ks contain the best fundamental data available to traders. They dispel all the sentiment distortions inevitably surr...
