News & Commentary from the liberterrain...
The fact that global warming has been decisively exposed as a global hoax hasn't deterred the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram from running four Global Alarming articles over the past two weeks.
Floods, fires, melting ice, heat waves and rainstorms are all touted in one article as proof of runaway global warming rather than eons-old common occurrences.
Another story tells us how British Columbia adopted California's "landmark greenhouse gas reduction law" and created "more than 20,000 new [taxpayer-funded, bureaucrat-run, politically-connected] clean-tech jobs."
And two others mentioned how the Senate scrapped a bill to curb carbon emissions "responsible for global warming" because of "opposition from Republicans and coal-state Democrats," proving that global warming is all about politics, not science.
The Global Warming scam appears to be business as usual.
It's as though solar sunspot activity that causes the same global warming on Mars as it does on Earth doesn't exist. It's as though a meteorological phenomenon called “blocking events" related to the jet stream doesn't exist. It's as though the IPCC “Climategate” scandal of rigged data doesn't exist. It's as though doctored climatological numbers from UK and US universities don't exist. It's as though the flawed and deceptive climate figures from NOAA don't exist. It's as though countless faulty weather stations and malfunctioning weather satellites and manipulated computer modeling don't exist.
It's as though the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age never existed.
The Earth's climate is "too vast, too chaotic, and too unpredictable to rationally suggest that a little bit of carbon dioxide is driving the whole thing," retorts an article from the libertarian LewRockwell.com titled "Why It's Too Darn Hot" which was not published in the Star-Telegram.
Ordinary people know global warming is a phony excuse for turning the entire planet into a totalitarian socialist-corporatist third world slum for the benefit of the ruling classes and their suck-up toadies.
The Al Gores of the world are motivated by an insatiable greed for power, wealth, and ego gratification. If those obsessions can be gained from global warming they will advocate global warming; if they could be had by promoting flat earth hysteria they would ballyhoo flat earth.
Normal people don't have to be professional environmental scientists to smell a hoax, any more than they need to be professional rodent hunters to smell a rat.
All they need is common sense.

Garry, I'm a fan of yours but, as before, I can't get behind you on this one.
"Global warming has been decisively exposed as a global hoax"? I don't think so. Yes, there have been some high-profile scandals and retractions. But they're not enough to invalidate two decades of scientific research. That research has looked at disparate things like ocean temperatures, ocean chemistry, ice cores, lower atmosphere temperatures, upper atmosphere temperatures, plant and animal populations, and more. There's thousands of studies from thousands of different researchers. Only a few of them are tainted.
When laymen pick a few damning facts and use them to invalidate a whole field, it just doesn't fly. Piltdown Man was a fraud, but it didn't mean evolution was false. A South Korean scientist's claims of cloning a dog were false, but it doesn't invalidate genetics.
And when laymen act as if they're smarter than scientists, that doesn't fly either. Yeah, there's an 11 year sunspot cycle. No, it doesn't disprove global warming. The scientists know about the cycle too - they know more about it than you do - and they've taken it into account. Yeah, cities cause localized distortion in temperature records. The scientists know about that, too. There are no "gotchas" that a layman can hit a scientist with.
Global warming deniers sound like creationists. Especially since they're not really motivated by the science. With creationists, they don't really care (and are not knowledgeable about) evolution science - they care about burning in hell, and they see evolution as the road to hell. With warming-deniers, they don't really care (or are knowledgeable about) climate science - they care about gov't policy in response to that science.
So don't fight the scientists; fight the statists who are using the science to increase gov't control. They're your real target anyway! If you waste your credibility fighting a losing battle against science, you'll have none left when the scientific debate ends and the political debate is still ongoing.

Global warming deniers sound like creationists. Especially since they're not really motivated by the science. With creationists, they don't really care (and are not knowledgeable about) evolution science - they care about burning in h*ll, and they see evolution as the road to h*ll. With warming-deniers, they don't really care (or are knowledgeable about) climate science - they care about gov't policy in response to that science.

Dude, You are an idiot. Global warming is simple reality.
Any cab driver in British Columbia knows that.
Sorry about the multiple postings. And my name is not Bobby Savoy; I wonder where it got that from?
The burden of proof for any assertion always rests with the person who makes the assertion. The government-bought lying scientists, the self-serving politicians and the sycophant media have not made their case that "global warming" is anything other than normal climatic variations that have occurred for eons and will occur for eons more. I won’t pretend to believe them just so I’ll sound “credible” to a bunch of poseurs. - Garry Reed
