Although Lindzen made his remarks in 2004--before An Inconvenient Truth--they remain just as valid today.

[Cicero]

Actually, I would differentiate between religion and superstition. The age of enlightenment grouped them together, but history suggests that superstition becomes MORE prevalent when religion is less widely accepted.

Chesterton nailed it when he said that those who cease to believe in God don’t believe in nothing. Rather, they will believe in anything. New Age, crystals, channeling, Scientology, marxism, nihilism, postmodernism, the Age of Aquarius, Wicca, Gaia, global cooling, global warming, Al Gore, Paris Hilton, Nancy Pelosi.

Once rationality based on religion is gone, there is a vaccuum. As soon as one superstition is driven out, a dozen others take its place.

As Global Warming has come to fill the void for those without a set of moral beliefs, let's be sure to keep
their church and state separate. That is, their religion should be funded only with voluntary contributions.

Throughout human history, persons who have discovered a natural truth—such as the moon’s eclipse cycle for their locale—have used that information to gain political sway over the uninformed masses. It is no less a human frailty today. Al Gore learned that the world was naturally warming and is using that natural truth to gain political sway over the masses.

No doubt mankind has an impact on the planet and its climate, but that impact is minuscule compared to nature’s. Don’t forget, Greenland was a once a sunny clime where woolly mammoths have been found frozen in the the ice with flowers in their stomachs.

The world rapidly cooled for an unknown reason (meteor strike?). Possibly, it has been warming back since, or more possibly, the sun is warming our planet as it does every day, but more vigorously now than at other times for unknown reasons. The fact that other planets appear to be presently warming is more credible evidence for that truth than those Al Gore inconveniently states!

Ann Coulter has stated this for years. The Holy Trinity of the LEFTs RELIGIOUS TENETS are an Omnipotent Government, Abortion and Global Warming.

Equivalent to the FATHER, SON and HOLY SPIRIT.

Do facts matter to religious zealots of the GW crowd?

107 years ago California had only 1 toilet that flushed. It was in the governors mansion yet, they want to believe we could effectively monitor the temp which at the time, no one did.

Earlier this week when the Vermont Senate/House began salivating AGAIN over the so-called global warming crap, I sent the e-mail below to the Senate and House leaders (both Dems). I've pasted the info below along with a link to Prof. Lindzen's comments on the topic in 1992!!!!!! ______________________________________________________

Senator.....you and Ms. Symington ought to consider renaming your group the "Chicken Little" party.

Stop wasting your time and our money on the non-issue of so-called global warming.

For every expert you find, I'll find ten who say the issue is media-liberal hype!

I have studied this issue a great deal and I wholeheartedly disagree with you. The scientific consensus has been building for years. Do you consider the Union of Concerned Scientists and the United Nations promulgators of liberal media-hype?

I guess I'm lost on trying to convince you since you seem to have made up your mind. Even George W. Bush is coming around. Have you seen Al Gore's movie? (Note: Can you believe this guy???)

I will continue to act on the assumption that the Earth is heating up due to our habit of burning ancient carbon and releasing it into the atmosphere. my best, Peter _________________________________________________________

Pay money to promote Al Gore's next attempt to get elected to something? I don't think so.

I, too, have studied this issue at some length....and it did not involve bringing someone into the State House whose bias was already established.

Perhaps you might consider listening to Richard Lindzen, the Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT.

He has some unquestionble academic credentials.

Well, it’s about friggin’ time that someone from my alma mater made some sense. I’ve been disgusted with the oh-so-cool leftism emanating from The Institue, as we used to call it, as it should know better.

Corrupted as it has been in recent years by feminism, multiculturalism and hyper-hip leftism, it’s a wonder if any of the students realize that Reality is not subject to fashionable stupidity. This guy is a breath of fresh air - but he’s only doing what true science demands from all the rest of the cowards that populate institutes of the Hard Sciences.

As a +12 er, a carbon positive person, it occurred to me as I was driving in the Yukon wilds that perhaps a very large and certainly overlooked carbon emissions source was beer.

Plain ordinary beer emits a large volume of carbon dioxide with every poptop. There is also a considerable volume that is consumed by swallowing. It is not gone however, every molecule is released into the atmosphere.

Then, lest I rouse the wrath of beer drinkers, it occurred to me that the same was true of Coke and Pepsi drinkers.

In summary, to right the carbon deficit wrongs of America and the world, rather than disrupt our energy systems, we should place a ban on all carbonated beverages.

Budweiser and coke, Miller and Pepsi...... they are the bad guys.
