do I really have to say it???
The entire global warming meme is one big fat swindle.
Well to be honest, I faked some lab data to show the results the book told us we were supposed to see, and got some dandy graphs!
Start with the result you want and work backwards! It’s easier than actually doing the lab.
But, but I just read on another report (from Bali)that south sea islands were having high sea levels, caused by Global Warming, ruin good crop land! They wouldn’t lie now would they?
I’m shocked, I tell you!
I bet this guy is on the payroll of Big Oil! (Do they call it Big Oil? Or is it just Evil Oil Companies?)
Doesn’t matter how many real scientists come out and dispute the global warming religion. The true believers won’t change their minds and the media and hollywood are true believers.
Global cooling is more likely. Buy coal now. We need that CO2!
Why, did Senator Kennedy vacate the Hyannis beachfront?
Liar! On my way to work this morning, the waves were hitting the sand 1/2 maile off of the road. On the way home, they were hitting the sand less than 1/4 of a mile off the road.

Pacific islands “drowning”
Gore says low-lying inhabited Pacific coral atolls are already being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming, leading to the evacuation of several island populations to New Zealand. However, the atolls are not being inundated, except where dynamiting of reefs or over-extraction of fresh water by local populations has caused damage.
Furthermore, corals can grow at ten times the predicted rate of increase in sea level. It is not by some accident or coincidence that so many atolls reach just a few feet above the ocean surface.
Ms. Kreider says, “The IPCC estimates that 150 million environmental refugees could exist by the year 2050, due mainly to the effects of coastal flooding, shoreline erosion and agricultural disruption.” However, the IPCC cannot be basing its estimate on sea-level rise, since even its maximum projected rise of just 30 cm (1 ft) by 2050 would not cause significant coastal flooding or shoreline erosion. There are several coastlines (the east coast of England, for instance) where the land is sinking as a consequence of post-ice-age isostatic recovery, or where (as in Bangladesh) tectonic subduction is similarly causing the land to sink. But such natural causes owe nothing to sea-level rise.
There have been no mass evacuations of populations of islanders as suggested by Gore, though some residents of Tuvalu have asked to be moved to New Zealand, even though the tide-gauges maintained until recently by the National Tidal Facility of Australia show a mean annual sea-level rise over the past half-century equivalent to the thickness of a human hair. The problem with the Carteret Islands, mentioned by Ms. Kreider, arose not because of rising sea levels but because of imprudent dynamiting of the reefs by local fishermen.
In the Maldives, a detailed recent study showed that sea levels were unchanged today compared with 1250 years ago, though they have been higher in much of the intervening period, and have very seldom been lower.
A well-established tree very close to the Maldivian shoreline and only inches above sea level was recently uprooted by Australian environmentalists anxious to destroy this visible proof that sea level cannot have risen very far.

There is a rock in the Pacific somewhere that has etched into it the sea level circa 1850. You can see the pic and see the level has not changed. Looked for the pic recently, and couldn’t find it.
This is ****not**** from the London Telegraph. It is from some guy’s blog that is *hosted* on the Telegraph’s website.

do I really have to say it??? maybe you could ask the Mods to correct the category for this post...if necessary. I would not like to see it removed. We appear to have made several interesting discoveries as a result. Thanks for posting.
There was a similar thread earlier. It probably doesn’t matter since the neo-malthusians don’t care about anything but what they can dream up.
Please do not alter titles of any published material. Also because this was found on someone's blog this thread should have been placed in the Bloggers forum.
Thanks.
