'Global warming scare' declared 'over'
wnd.com ^ | 10/13/2014 | Bob Unruh

Scientists and others on a team assembled by the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, which focuses on free-market solutions to today’s problems, say the “scare” of global warming from the use of carbon fuels and other human activities “is over.”

It’s “past time” for the world to realize that and “stop the madness of wasting great sums of money on EPA’s imaginary threat,” contends Kenneth Haapala, the executive vice president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project at the Heartland Institute.

Institute experts said Thursday the Remote Sensing Systems, which provide data to NASA, NOAA and the National Science Foundation, have confirmed “the global mean surface temperature has not risen for 18 consecutive years.”

Well, us peons obviously just don't understand the severity of the issue. It is SO BAD that even bob seeger (of silver bullet band and Hollywood Nights) has decided to address climate change (and "gun violence and debt) on his newest musical works. Link to detroitfree press:

'Bob Seger, the Midwestern meat-and-potatoes rock 'n' roller, is going worldly.

"Ride Out," his first album in eight years, features familiar Seger themes of hope, honesty and moving forward, and finds him taking stock of a music career that has now hit the half-century mark.

But it's also his most explicitly political work in years, tackling debt, gun violence and what the Detroit singer-songwriter calls "the No. 1 issue," climate change.'

Off the "may go to a concert list" now.

It’s not disputed science any longer. The liberals have told us so.

And it’s not global warming we’re supposed to be worried about now .... it’s climate change.

Heritic! Off with his head! ;-/

Seriously, just what kind of personal attacks do you think are headed his way? I foresee attempts to discredit this guy and others at the group both professionally and personally.

One of the few benefits of the whole “human induced climate change” fiasco is that it provided a wonderful venue for those to whom a sixth grade science class proved too difficult (read Hollywood, the MSM, and the vast majority of our undereducated political class) to demonstrate their complete idiocy.

I don’t know what’s in store for this gentleman. He’ll be attacked academically, his funds will be attacked, etc., but that’s par for the course.

I was thinking of the scene in that silly but enjoyable movie, “Highlander”, where the red-headed girlfriend turns on the hero screaming, “He’s in league with Lucifer. Burrrrn him!”

It was funny in the movie; it isn’t funny in real life.

I thought these pinheads moved-on to equally specious “climate disruption”. Frauds. Criminals. Fools.

Not the scene you're talking about, but similar. They (the global warming / climate change faithful) won't let him go easily...

Ol’ Bob just had a “V8 Moment”.

The “Settled Science” is Hokum.

I just pinched myself and realized that I survived Climate Change. Thanks Obama! /s

The whole fiasco is beyond idiocy, it's become a theology to the worshipers
of Gaya and the messiahs who spread the mind disease.


It's past time to call those who vehemently follow and practice this ideology, "Fools".

The science is settled. Homogenic Global Warming is the new state religion. Global Warming deniers are heretics and should be burned at the stake!

But that would cause more Global Warming. So I guess we should make them watch one of Our Glorious Leader’s speeches about Global Warming. If that doesn’t kill them, nothing will.

Do you know why the environmental whackos on the left rarely talk about real water and air pollution anymore and instead focus entirely on CO2?

The leftists have always called for more socialist/marxist government control as the cure for pollution. Pollution, don’t you see, is caused by capitalism.

Then the iron curtain fell and it became irrefutable that the worst polluters in the history of the world were the former communist countries, most of which had become large toxic waste dumps. People generally don’t pollute property that they own. People have no such restraint about polluting property that belongs to someone else. Pollution, the world could see, is caused by socialism.

So now the entire focus is CO2, because the United States, having the world’s largest economy, naturally produces the most CO2 per capita. Never mind that CO2 is a trace gas that is necessary for the survival of life on Earth.
