Narrative
wars: Rarely have two diametrically opposed news narratives been so
stark. In the realm of media there are two distinct Ukraines – one
hoping for European integration and the other opposing western
aggression and hegemony. But in the end it would appear to be only
about Russia...

A
clue on the Boris #Nemstov murder.
Mark Sleboda notes that he is "being bombarded by Google for the
anti-govt pro-Kiev #МаршВеснa"
in Moscow on Sunday and rhetorically asks "WHO IS PAYING FOR ALL
THIS?!?"
This is a sign that the US State Department is
preparing for #genocide and
mass#murder.
I noticed a similar ad and spam campaign on Google in late February,
early March of 2011.
As soon as I wrote #Libya on
the Google search line, Google would display an ad for a US criminal
outfit called "Human Rights First". The ad itself was
a #hoax upon
a hoax. Not only were there no "#Gaddaficrimes"
or proof of them, but there was not even the propaganda the criminals
were advertising.
The page advertised never contained any proof or
even serious claims for anything. It was just just an empty
placeholder for content yet to be announced.
The real content
was in the two lines on the Google results page: "Qaddafi's
Crimes - Qaddafi is committing atrocities. Read about his crimes in
Libya." The link was not even meant to be clicked. This was a
subliminal message. It would be repeated over and over until you were
ready to believe it.

Hi
Mary and Jim, Thanks for the interview regarding the methane issues
we are facing.
The
one problem I have with what Blair had to say was when he said
methane sort of 'spikes' in the atmosphere, leading us to think it is
a temporary issue. The truth is CH4 has risen from an 800,000 year
average of 0.7 ppm to now about 2.0 ppm, and has done so @ rate about
10,000 times faster than any time in the past ie prior to the last
great extinction event, it took over 10,000 years for the environment
to go from 280 ish ppm CO2 to 400 ppm CO2, and during the 10,000 year
period CH4 would have been released, hung around for 12 years or so
then converted to CO2 etc, this would have happened very slowly, over
thousands of CH4 lifetimes. Where as now we are looking at
something like 833 CH4 lifetimes jammed into maybe 10
Methane
Hydrates - Extended Interview Extracts With Natalia Shakhova.
Natalia
is one of the top research scientists looking into methane, and here
she is telling us how hard it has been for their information to get
into the mainstream universities
etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVi1lotRLRU only
3:44 min. The fact 'they' are not getting is that for every CH4
molecule that converts to CO2 or water vapor, there is 1 'born to
replace it + a bit more.

And
if you are still awake .... and doing your job, below was my last
email to the IPCC Dear Dr Rajendr, I understand you
mentioned me to a college in New Zealand, with regards to my question
on the forcing factor of CH4/CO2, thanks for that. Unfortunately,
I couldn't quite get my question answered via anyone associated with
the IPCC, but that is par for the coarse so not unexpected. I will
give you my thoughts, I will be happy to be proven wrong. So
here goes, if you are still there I've read several times
that 'we' are at a worse point than we have ever been in known
climatic history, and during that history it has been proven that the
planet heated up by 16C over as little as 10 years, if that is close
to being true, and we are in a worse situation, then +16C could be
just around the corner. HOW? Its the methane that
is going to get us, as the last straw, you know better than me I'm
sure how fast the CH4 content is rising in the atmosphere,
(supposedly hit 1.910ppm) being about 1.85ppm at the moment (unless
you know more?) and always increasing, so with that fact in mind what
would the immortal effect of CH4 be compared to CO2? How
about this question? If you have a tube of CO2 and you fire
infrared light through it, what is the resulting blocking of infrared
transmission (absorption and reradiation) per molecule or per gram of
CO2 inside the tube? Then do the same thing with a tube full
of CH4. How much more does CH4 absorb-reradiate than CO2? This was
done crudely by John Tyndall 1859 with primitive equipment? What is
the answer now that we have lot of very sophisticated equipment? That
is what I cannot find out.
I
posted this on a blog site the other day, again I'm happy to be
proven wrong. It is looking like it will be all over within
the next 10 years, currently the environment is the closes to a
massive temperature rise of no less than 9C, it has EVER been, never
before has CO2 gone up so fast, never before has there been so much
CH4 trapped by the rapid thawing ice,never before (to the best of our
knowledge) has CH4 gone from an 800,000 year average of .7 ppm to
1.85 ppm in as little as 100 years. NEVER
!!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.planetextinction.com/…/Methane,%20the%20Gakkel%2…
Everything
is pointing to us currently at about 1,000ppm CO2/CO2e 400
ppm CO2 400 - 600ppm CO2e as CH4 100 ppm N20 (or
some such? I isn't that smart) and someone calculated the
negative feed back of the particulates (smog) acting like a curtain =
about 60 ppm CO2e It's the methane, and 'they' don't want you
to know, or it is so fucking bad they haven't a clue of how to tell
you. WASF. So I think it is way to scarey a subject
for you guys, or you are under political pressure to dumb down
methane to maintain the bullshit shell game that is carbon
trading? And you wouldn't want your US masters, being outed
for adding tons of CH4 to the environment via fracking. And of coarse
everyone via coal. To tell the truth I gave up on the IPCC
the very first time I read something you put out.
I am trying to find out the forcing
factor of CH4 over C02 in time frames that matter, like what is the
forcing factor when the CH4 is only a week old? This is the
question my friend Kevin posed to someone the other day, his
explanation is way better than I could manage.
Snip
For
more than a year I have been very troubled by the way the relative
warming effect of methane compared to carbon dioxide is calculated,
the UNIPCC initially assigning a value of 23 times CO2 over 100 years
and 72 times CO2 over 20 years, which were subsequently increased to
34 times CO2 over 100 years and 86 times CO2 over 20 years.
I
have searched, with no success, for the instantaneous absorption-re
radiation value of CH4 versus CO2, and many months ago telephoned
(and emailed) Paul Beckwith at the University of Ottawa to discuss
the matter; at the time he said he thought it was about 250, but has
not confirmed this figure. The decay curves I have seen suggest an
instantaneous value for methane of the order of 300 times that of
carbon dioxide, and I have seen an unreferenced article by Malcolm
Light suggesting a value between 1,000 and 300 times CO2 for times
scales that matter.
It
seems to me there is something very suspect in the manner in which
the IPCC calculates the effect of methane in the atmosphere, in that
it treats methane as though it decays to carbon dioxide (which we
know it does) and assigns and average value over time for the decay.
Yet the concentration of methane in the atmosphere does not decline
because every molecule of methane that gets oxidized by the OH ion or
OH radical mechanism is replaced by another. Indeed, the rate of
release of methane molecules into the atmosphere clearly far exceeds
the rate of oxidation, so the concentration and actual mass of
atmospheric methane both increase,.
End
snip
So
far I've sent this question out to maybe 30 'scientists', and have
had 4 responses, happy to send them to you if you are interested, it
is looking like CH4 is 300 - 400 times stronger a GHG than CO2?
Thanks, Robert
