The whole aim of practical politics," wrote H.L. Mencken in 1920, "is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."

Timothy Ball is no wishy-washy skeptic of global warming. The Canadian climatologist, who has a Ph.D. in climatology from the University of London and taught at the University of Winnipeg for 28 years, says that the widely propagated “fact” that humans are contributing to global warming is the “greatest deception in the history of science.”
Ball has made no friends among global warming alarmists by saying that global warming is caused by the sun, that global warming will be good for us and that the Kyoto Protocol “is a political solution to a nonexistent problem without scientific justification."
Needless to say, Ball strongly disagrees with the findings of the latest report from the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which on Feb. 2 concluded that it is “very likely” that global warming is the result of human activity.
The mainstream media would have us believe that the science of global warming is now settled by the latest IPCC report. Is it true?
Timothy Ball: No. It’s absolutely false. As soon as people start saying something’s settled, it’s usually that they don’t want to talk about it anymore. They don’t want anybody to dig any deeper. It’s very, very far from settled. In fact, that’s the real problem. We haven’t been able to get all of the facts on the table. The IPCC is a purely political setup.

An excellent interview.
In a word ....YES
One day last week Rush Limbaugh read the UN's report on the 10 most poluted places on Earth.
None here, a couple in China, 3 or 4 in Russia.
it is “very likely” that global warming is the result of human activity."
This is now the view of both the Bush administration and ExxonMobil.
Disgraceful.

If algore and friends wanted to clean up the environment..they should start in Russia, China, India...

Absolutely BUT ............
cleanup paid for by US taxpayers
Russia for example, will be bringing on line many petroleum and gas refineries, making it the worlds second largest oil exporting country. How Russia managed to position itself- considering it was a major polluter before the soviet Unions collapse- as a country with excess green credits that it will be selling to Europe and western countries like Canada, receiving billions in transfer payments Is the scam of all scams.
It's no wonder why Russia suddenly reversed it's position on the Kyoto accord, which it originally opposed, rightly claiming that science did not support the claims. It still doesn't, but and that isn't what made Russia change it's position, it was the realization it would be able to receive huge amounts of money from the west that turned them from a loud and stubborn objector to a loud and insistent supporter of this scam.
For these countries to be recipients of unbelievable amounts of cash from the west because of their failures to meet CO2 reductions, impossible reductions that were designed to be unachievable in the first place, then to turn around and turn on their smoke stacks from their developing industries and coal plants coming on line to meet rapid growth some of these countries are experiencing, is jaw dropping ridiculous.
Why people are so blind to the idiocy of this accord if largely the media's fault, as they have been promoting this silliness from the beginning, damning anyone who opposes it while stifling the voices of those in the scientific community who flatly reject the "science" being claimed to support this false premise.
It wouldn't be the firt time MSM hid the workings of communist countries, and hid their attempts to disrupt and destroy western economies and policies.
I've been sounding off about that evil man for years, a high school dropout who ironically make his money in the oil patch. Nobody listens. Looks like he finally recieved a dinner place setting at the Bush ranch.
He's also the guy who created the new UN religion- Gaia worship- even going so far as to recreating an "ark of the covenant" ceremony.
This Kyoto accord has long tenticles that people don't realize, it reaches high into the elite of the elite, those who scheme to be the unelected world government.
It's also of interest to note that Maurice Strong was behind the Global-cooling hysteria of the seventies.
It didn't work, but no doubt was something he never gave up on, tweaking the basic plateform to become the much more scarier "Global warming".
How did he come across ?
I think that we are finally making some small progress against algaore and friends now.

Yes. You can add in other "scare specialists" like George Soros and Peter "Progressive Insurance" Lewis into the mix, too: http://www.capitalresearch.org/pubs/pdf/OT1204.pdf.
Continuing from my post #7 above, I will connect more of the dots below:
Dot #1: RealClimate.org ---[ the site of choice quoted by the "human-caused global warming" hysterics] -- is registered to Environmental Media Services.
Dot #2 EMS is a nonprofit front group for Fenton Communications.
Dot #3 Fenton Communications is a PR firm for environmentalist organizations.
Dot #4 The Tides Center [fka The Tides Foundation]
Environmental Media Services (EMS) is a Washington, D.C. based nonprofit organization that is "dedicated to expanding media coverage of critical environmental and public health issues". EMS was founded in 1994 by Arlie Schardt, a former journalist, former communications director for Al Gore's 2000 Presidental campaign, and former head of the Environmental Defense Fund during the 1970s.
Their primary activities include holding forums that bring scientists knowledgeable in current environmental issues together with journalists, providing web hosting and support for environmental issues sites like RealClimate, and providing recommendations to journalists trying to locate experts knowledgeable on environmental topics. They also issue press releases related to environmental issues and provide an aggregration service that disseminates recent news on environmental topics
EMS is closely allied with Fenton Communications, "the largest public interest communications firm in the [United States]", which specializes in providing public relations for nonprofit organizations dealing with public policy issues. The Washington branch of Fenton shares the same address as EMS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_Media_Services

Same 60's radical grifters, singing the same religious hymn --just a different stanza.

Some Freepers think that posting the same information challenging the Global warming fraud too often is a bad thing, when everyone is constantly barraged by the "Kyoto" hysteria.
Here is my favorite article about this fraud, from his own country:
