Yep ...

Newt Gingrich (architect of the historic Contract for America and capturing the House after forty (40) years of Democratic rule) ...

and Nancy Pelosi (a historic figure as first woman Speaker of the House, albeit an idiot) ...

shared a photo-op, discussing, of all subjects, "Global Warming".

Newt's critics have a field day with this 2008 photograph, totally IGNORANT of Newt Gingrich's later confession that ...

"it was the dumbest thing I've done in recent years."

===============================

Newt's critics then attack his 2008 remarks about Global Warming ...

again, IGNORANT of the circumstances involved

and how Newt Gingrich (along with the rest of America) was DECIEVED by the SCIENTIFIC LIES about Global Warming.

Let's have some straight talk about Newt Gingrich's so-called "endorsement" of Global Warming ...

First, assuming you're old enough “Liz” and “FlagThis” (i.e. experienced, intelligent) you'll agree that, for the most part, scientists' word (especially in published journals) has for decades been very respected.

Right ?

Remember those days, “Liz” and “FlagThis” ?

Even into the 1970's (unless you were still in diaper-land) scientists were assumed to be honest.

Enter the Hillary Clinton "hippie quasi-Marxist generation", especially as they were graduating with all those PhD and masters degrees in the 1980s.

For some of these "intellectual scoundrels" all that mattered was ideology.

Period.

These folks were the kind (like the University of East Anglia fraudsters) who even FAKED the DATA ... just to advance their Socialist Agenda.

Now, I'm a college-degree Mechanical Engineer who's always been interested in the sciences.

And even when the "Man Made Global Warming Data" was being FALSIFIED for years and years, and then PUBLISHED "as fact" in the leading scientific journals, how could even a "smart educated guy" like me (/sarcasm-off) known that the data and findings were RUBBISH ?

I had neither the "correct data" or access to the "inner scientific circle" to have even known that the Global Warming Data was poppycock.

Now ... what's your technical background, “Liz” and “FlagThis” ?

Do you have a college degree ? What subject ?

Let's presume that you do, and that it's in "climatology".

Let's next presume (a wild guess) that you have access to ALL of the correct temperature data (you copied it to a 5.25-inch floppy disk before the bad guys ERASED IT on the VAX mainframe).

Now ... let's further assume (really wild here) that you have COMPLETE and FREE access to all of the NASA supercomputers that the "bad guys" used in their Bravo Sierra climate computer models.

Finally ... let's assume you've discovered the TRUTH about the GLOBAL WARMING LIE.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

Now ... go get that news story PUBLISHED.

I'm certain (/sarcasm-off) that CNN, The New York Times, Newsweak, The Economist and Rolling Stone will start a million-dollar bidding war over your new revelation.

Right ?

Unfortunately (as you already know) ... wrong ... wrong ... wrong.

Your GREAT news story about the GLOBAL WARMING LIE gets pigeon-holed.

For ever, or until Rush Limbaugh gets a hold of it.

That was rather a long, sad story, wasn't it ?

What exactly does it have to do with Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi making a joint statement about GLOBAL WARMING ... in 2008 ... 2008 ... 2008?

Newt Gingrich assumed that the respective scientists were HONEST and TRUTHFUL.

And what did Newt Gingrich say in 2011 ... AFTER THE FRAUDULANT SCIENTIFIC DATA was discovered ... that his Global Warming statement with Nancy Pelosi ...

"was the dumbest thing I've done in recent years."

How could Newt Gingrich (being a non-technical person) know the difference ?

How could “Liz” and “FlagThis” (being non-technical folks) know the difference ?

How could Patton-at-Bastogne (being a TECHNICAL person) know the difference ?

“Liz” and “FlagThis”, you and Newt and I would ALL been buffaloed by the bravo-sierra data.

So how (being the reasonable man I presume you are) can you make fun of Newt Gingrich for thinking GLOBAL WARMING ...

when YOU would have been BUFFALOED like Newt Gingrich ...

as well as me, too ?

Best Regards,

Patton-at-Bastogne (Free Republic member since 1998)

Meanwhile, take a look at what Rush Limbaugh had to say about the Global Warming Fraud ....

RUSH: You know, there are all kinds of left-wing publications and individuals, folks, who are beside themselves over global warming.

I have an entire Stack of Stuff today on this.

From the Australian newspaper: "Twenty-Year Hiatus in Rising Temperatures Has Climate Scientists Puzzled," and they are all citing a magazine article in The Economist.

"In a lengthy article this week, The Economist magazine said if climate scientists were credit-rating agencies, then climate sensitivity -- the way climate reacts to changes in carbon dioxide levels -- would be on negative watch but not yet downgraded."

Because this story indicates that carbon in the atmosphere may actually be making things cooler, not warmer.

They are beside themselves with rage and anger and frustration in the global warming community, which we know is a hoax now.

That continues to be something that's utterly laughable to me.

We know by virtue of released e-mails from the University of East Anglia in the UK that the whole thing -- the manmade global warming program -- is a hoax.

It's a political hoax.

I realize there are some people who haven't heard this. We have new listeners tuning in each and every day, and I realize that many of you new arrivals here think that global warming is the law of the land.

You've never questioned it, and you think it's happening. Global warming is as real as the sun coming up.

Considering the alternative is impossible, and you believe that people who don't believe in it are literal kooks.

I want to tell you new arrivals about this -- and I know you low-information people are here in increasing numbers each and every day.

"How could “Liz” and “FlagThis” (being non-technical folks) know the difference ?"

Well, being non-technical, it took about two minutes of reflection and common sense. There were these things, you may have heard of, called "Ice Ages". We've apparently had several over the course of the Earth's history. Now, in these "Ice Ages" global temperatures dropped to such an extent that there were glaciers a mile thick where Chicago and New York City currently stand. These ice ages sometimes lasted for hundreds of thousands of years - hundreds of thousands of years. What caused those ice ages? What caused global temperatures to increase to end them. No one knows for sure, but one thing is absolutely clear: mankind had absolutely nothing to do with it. No idiot government program could have started, or stopped, an ice age.

For Newt to jump on the global warming bandwagon makes me question both his common sense - particularly when he wanted to ally himself with that hag Pelosi - and his motivations. It's great that he apparently supports tax cuts, but if he is also for actions that will absolutely nut our economy, to save us from fictitious man-made global warming, his tax cuts will ultimately be meaningless.

Newt still gives a great speech though. No one can take that from him.

Oh, I also found his constant references to his wife, during the last campaign, slightly annoying. I really don't give a crap what she thinks about anything and his constant references sounded completely gratuitous.

What exactly does it have to do with Newt Gingrich and Nancy Pelosi making a joint statement about GLOBAL WARMING ... in 2008 ... 2008 ... 2008?

No sale. It was obvious to anyone who was paying attention that anthropogenic global warming was a fraud by the mid 1990s. The radiosonde data proved that the mid tropospheric "hot spot" posited by the models simply wasn't there. By 1998 the evidences were overwhelming. Note: the page referenced contains data after that date, but that is only because Dr. Robinson has updated it. The paper was there at OISM by 2001.

Newt had no excuse. The only reason he fell for the scam was that the big money donors wanted it.
