A teeming rain forest of irrelevant climate claims
National Post (Canada) ^ | November 28, 2009 | Conrad Black, Editor

Posted on 11/28/2009 8:50:03 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Till now, I have avoided more than very limited comment on the whole global-warming-carbon emissions controversy. But now that colossal spending and regulating programs impend on these issues, I must say that the Al Gore-David Suzuki conventional-wisdom hysteria is an insane scam.

The basic relevant facts are that carbon emissions are not the principal factor in global warming, and despite dire contrary forecasts and ever-increasing carbon-emissions in the world — especially as the economies of China and India, representing 40% of the world’s population, expand by six to 10 percent each year — the world has not grown a millidegree warmer since the start of this millennium.

Two of Canada’s greatest and most undersung recent heroes are environmental economist Ross McKitrick and statistical minerologist Steven McIntyre, who by their tireless research in the teeth of the entire ecological establishment, proved the former IPCC claim of drastically accelerated global warming was a fraud. These men have been prominently mentioned in the hacked emails that have just revealed the outrageous lengths the scientific propagators of the Great Green Fraud have gone to to suppress the facts.

As Lord Lawson wrote in his book, those worried about imminent environmental catastrophe, as compared, for examples, to nuclear terrorism or even large meteoric collisions, “need not worry about saving this planet. They are already living on another one … We appear to have entered a new age of unreason … It is from this, above all, that we really need to save the planet.”

Age of unreason. I like that. It’s true.

Your tag line:

***(Time to prosecute Al Gore now that fellow scam artist Bernie Madoff is in stir.)***

Gore SHOULD be prosecuted. He’s the self-acclaimed leader of the Global Warming Scare, and thus as responsible as Bernie Madoff for making untold millions of dollars from the gullible investors.

Is anyone here reviewing these documents:

I’m trying to open “Rules of the Game”

and I can’t get “marooned” to open all the way...it’s a cartoon that says “GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX” with faces I’m not familiar with superimposed.

Wonder what this means....It was a document named jones-foiathoughts(Read-Only):

Options appear to be:

1. Send them the data
2. Send them a subset removing station data from some of the countries who made us pay in the normals papers of Hulme et al. (1990s) and also any number that David can remember. This should also omit some other countries like (Australia, NZ, Canada, Antarctica). Also could extract some of the sources that Anders added in (31-38 source codes in J&M 2003). Also should remove many of the early stations that we coded up in the 1980s.
3. Send them the raw data as is, by reconstructing it from GHCN. How could this be done? Replace all stations where the WMO ID agrees with what is in GHCN. This would be the raw data, but it would annoy them.”

“It warns of a 70% decline in world food production this century if its temperature forecast increases are met, relying exclusively on a study that predicts such a decline will occur to the harvest of Northern Indian groundnuts only, not the world’s food supply. “

Sheesh!

BZZZT! Too late! It's because of weenies like you that this scam has been allowed to escalate out of control. If you and others had spoken up at the beginning, we wouldn't be in the clutches of these ecowhacks right now. Thanks for nothing.
