Scientists Write Open Letter to Congress: 'You Are Being Deceived About Global Warming' -- 'Earth has been cooling for ten years' 'Present cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer models, and has come as an embarrassment to them'
Wednesday, July 01, 2009By Marc Morano – Climate Depot Below is a reprint of a July 1, 2009 Open Letter to Congress by a team of prominent atmospheric scientists.
OPEN LETTER TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES: YOU ARE BEING DECEIVED ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
You have recently received an Open Letter from the Woods Hole Research Center, exhorting you to act quickly to avoid global disaster. The letter purports to be from independent scientists, but that Center is the former den of the President's science advisor, John Holdren, and is far from independent. This is the same science advisor who has given us predictions of “almost certain” thermonuclear war or eco-catastrophe by the year 2000, and many other forecasts of doom that somehow never seem to arrive on time.
The facts are:
The sky is not falling; the Earth has been cooling for ten years, without help. The present cooling was NOT predicted by the alarmists' computer models, and has come as an embarrassment to them.
The finest meteorologists in the world cannot predict the weather two weeks in advance, let alone the climate for the rest of the century. Can Al Gore? Can John Holdren? We are flooded with claims that the evidence is clear, that the debate is closed, that we must act immediately, etc, but in fact
THERE IS NO SUCH EVIDENCE; IT DOESN'T EXIST.
The proposed legislation would cripple the US economy, putting us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors. For such drastic action, it is only prudent to demand genuine proof that it is needed, not guesswork, and not false claims about the state of the science.
DEMAND PROOF, NOT CONSENSUS
Finally, climate alarmism pays well. Many alarmists are profiting from their activism. There are billions of dollars floating around for the taking, and being taken.

I heard on Rush Limbaugh’s show yesterday that the major INCREASE in the polar bear population is now blamed on global warming. There are 5 times more polar bears than 50 years ago.
Memo this to Barry and the EPA....opps, wait, they will simply resort to burying it.....
The pols are NOT decieved. They KNOW it’s a hoax to gain more control of the people and grow governemnt.
It doesn’t matter, they are under a spell. Rational thought is no longer applied. You either submit or you will die for opposing.
I continue to be amazed that POLITICAL SCIENCE is a required degree to ‘investigate’ Global Warming for the left.
The Repubs that ‘believe’ this farce do so because it’s easier to say that, than it is to fight a global and well-financed campaign against them.
Sanity in the discussion on global climate issues? Will never be heard by the dhimmirats, sadly. It makes too much sense, so they won’t be interested.
It’s time to take back the country.
Don't cloud the issue with facts now. It might hurt their re-election...
The governments concern is power and money.
Pay no attention to facts.
It serves their purpose. They care little to nothing about the truth.
They care everything about winning.
Republicans do not ever have a even playing field ... with all the corruption within many many Agencies, paid for by the government coffers.
God help us in our day , God bless America. Amen.
bttt
LOL. It is their god.
Tax these scientists!
