Record snowfall in Italy shut down a recent ski event - AP photo
Yesterday, for only the second time in recorded history, it snowed in the Arabian Peninsula. Last month, while the United Nations was conducting its annual Chicken Little fright fest over the global warming menace, snow was blanketing Houston and New Orleans. Did this year’s record-cold and the growing body evidence that the Earth is actually cooling rather than warming deter the UN from proclaiming man-made global warming an incontrovertible fact? Of course not; because global warming has nothing to do with concern over the environment. It is a backdoor way of attacking the capitalist economic system in general and the United States in particular – what writer Eric Englund has termed “socialism’s Trojan horse.”
The media continually reports that man-made global warming is proven fact despite the reality that no scientist has ever been able to demonstrate that human activities have any effect on the Earth’s climate. News coverage of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change conference will make no mention of the report submitted by 650 prominent scientists – including several former IPCC scientists – that debunks the myth that human activities cause global warming.
Even the record cold global temperatures of 2007 and 2008 cannot dissuade the disciples of the Church of Global Warming. The cooling trend, according to the UN World Meteorological Association’s director, is caused by La Nina, and is only temporary; “…part of what we call ‘variability’”. In response to the cooling trend, the peddlers of Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) have re-named their raison d’etre, “Climate Change.” The are now beginning to chastise those who use the term global warming by calling the term a “pejorative.”
The IPCC and the media are also mute when it comes to more than 4,000 scientists who signed the Heidelberg Appeal against the rampant pseudoscience surrounding the issue. Likewise for the Oregon Petition, the Leipzig Declaration, and The Statement by Atmospheric Scientists on Greenhouse Warming – cumulatively bearing the signatures of more than 35,000 climatologists and meteorologists, including 72 Nobel Prize winners who deny the existence of man-made global warming. Neither will their unbiased reporting ever quote Reid Bryson, the “Father of Climatology” and the founding chairman of the meteorology department at the University of Wisconsin (A well-know haven for liberals) who has stated with regard to global warming,
“…there is no credible evidence that it is due to mankind and carbon dioxide. We've been coming out of a Little Ice Age for 300 years...It's been warming up for a long time.”
Global warming hype is nothing more than tool for further dismantling the American way of life. One clue is the myth’s leading proponents – a rouge’s gallery of leftists and communists; including Al Gore, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Muammar Al Qadhafi. All have all written books on the evils of capitalist carbon emissions and the dire consequences that await us all. If the leaders of the Global Warming Church don’t convince you of the true agenda, read the Kyoto Protocols, that require “developed” countries (Namely the United States) to vastly reduce their emissions of carbon dioxide, while “developing” nations like India and China can continue to spew enormous amounts into the atmosphere. And, in true Marxist fashion, the agreement requires the “developed” nations to help pay the costs of emissions-reducing measures in the less-fortunate countries.
Adopting the provisions of Kyoto would place crushing burdens on American industries. The politicians who decry American jobs being sent overseas are same ones who push for unfair agreements like Kyoto, which would drive more companies abroad, where they would not be subject to such harsh regulation.
The global warming charlatans are not only anti-capitalist, and anti-freedom, but essentially anti-human. The latest trend among the greens in Europe is having themselves sterilized to avoid “contaminating” the planet with any more humans. Time Magazine ran a story in May 2008 with the headline, “Growing Up Green. No way around it: your child is an environmental disaster.” The article begins,
“Want to wreck the environment? Have a baby. Each bundle of joy gobbles up more of the planet’s food, clogs garbage dumps with diapers, churns through plastic toys, and winds up a gas-guzzling, resource-consuming grown up like the rest of us.”
I don’t view my children as “environmental disasters.” You and I, and all our children have as much right to this planet’s resources as beavers, spotted owls, and cave dwellers in the “developing” world. And I am certainly not willing to cripple what’s left of American industry, double my gasoline and electricity costs, and pay a tax on the carbon dioxide I exhale everyday on the basis of a demonstrably fraudulent myth called global warming.

I would urge everyone with an interest in learning the truth about Al Gore and global warming to view The Great Global Warming Swindle.

You'll soon see that the debate is not over. If anything, the climate realists are closer to having a consensus.

The skeptical petitions and statements you cite are form 1992! Neither natrual variability or the natural warming trend since the last ice age are in any way contradictory to overall, anthropegenic global warming. A more relevant and recent survey on scientific opinion can be found in a recent survey of more than 3,000 US scientists:
Bottom line of the survey, according to CNN: "Two questions were key: Have mean global temperatures risen compared to pre-1800s levels, and has human activity been a significant factor in changing mean global temperatures?
About 90 percent of the scientists agreed with the first question and 82 percent the second."
The dissenters: primarily petroleum geologists. 97% of climatologists (who would be in the best position to know) agree that global warming is caused by humans. That puts the climatologists in the company of both presidential candidates in this past election and nearly every member of the senate. In the company of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bank of America, insurance companies and nearly anybody who can see straight.
There is a small chance that climate change will not turn out to be as bad as predicted, but why bet on that, particularly when there is money to be made in new technology. (Listen to the Reublican senator from Indiana on that one).
The Global Warming Petition Project began in 1998, not 1992. The petition letter was sent out in 2007.
This letter from Professor Frederick Seitz has been circulated with the petition. Physicist Frederick Seitz was President of the US National Academy of Sciences and of Rockefeller University. He received the National Medal of Science, the Compton Award, the Franklin Medal, and numerous other awards, including honorary doctorates from 32 Universities around the world. In August 2007, Dr. Seitz reviewed and approved the article by Robinson, Robinson, and Soon that is circulated with the petition and gave his enthusiastic approval to the continuation of the Petition Project. A vigorous supporter of the Petition Project since its inception in 1998, Professor Seitz died on March 2nd, 2008.
I think that comparing temperatures now to when the planet was in an ice age is wrong. However, the planet's temperature was 58.3 F in 1998. The global average in 2008 was 53 degrees F. This drop was never included in the IPCC forecasts. That means that they didn't understand that the planet goes through cooing and warming periods. Even though the IPCC is a political body rather than a scientific body, you would think they should have known that.
Just so you understand, an ice age is not the preferred temperature for humans. Disenters are not petroleum geologists, they are regular tax paying citizens like myself who know a scam when they see one.
A scam is when somebody takes something from somebody else. How are scientific reports that analyze the results of peer-reviewed journals and studies a scam? Why would you persist in taking the word of such an extreme minority on an issue that will determine the future economic strength of our country? What relevant scientific body (not individual scientists) can you cite as having a dissenting opinion on the question that the planet is warming and humans are very likely the cause (and thus the possible solution)?
Al Gore is making $100,000 every time he gives a speech on Global Warming and he is the Chairman of Generation Investment Management, an investment company in England that invests in green technology, which currently has $5 billion dollars in investments.
John Coleman the founder of the Weather Channel who is a meteorologist has a petition signed by 9000 Phd's to bring a lawsuit against Al Gore, and his global warming scam.
Al Gore is Chairman of the For-Profit Corporation called Generation Investment Management.
They have billions of $$$$ in investments like "cap and trade" and other things that will make a tidy profit from Kyoto, etc.
This is all about money.
Gore is no climate scientist. he is a lawyer turned politician who says he "invented the internet."
I'm an envirnmentalist and in no way am I in favour of Cap&Trade. The exprerience in Europe has been that Cap&Trade causes an increase in consumption. As an environmentalist I want reduced consumption. Governments the world over are chomping at the bit to bring in Cap&Trade since it will generate Billions in new taxes because it increases consumption. I know of no environmentailist who is aware of this.
