Climate Groups Retool Argument For Global Warming (Yawn Alert)
npr.org ^ | Dec. 5, 2010 | Christopher Joyce

The number of Americans who believe that global warming is a scientific fact has been dropping, and environmental groups and climate scientists who say the evidence for warming is clear are scratching their heads over this reversal and scrambling to find a new strategy.

Three years ago, former Vice President Al Gore won a Nobel Prize for publicizing the threat of climate change with his book and documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth. After that, scientists rejoiced, says Dan Lashof, director of the Climate Center at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group.

Even Gore's Nobel Prize hasn't earned him deference from skeptics,

Algore's "An Inconvenient Truth" is what finally made this whole issue erupt.

Downright lies, exagerations and total misuse and manipulation of scientific data is what brought down the warmists.

Thank you Al Gore, couldn't of done it without you!

The US diplomatic cables reveal how the US seeks dirt on nations opposed to its approach to tackling global warming; how financial and other aid is used by countries to gain political backing; how distrust, broken promises and creative accounting dog negotiations; and how the US mounted a secret global diplomatic offensive to overwhelm opposition to the controversial “Copenhagen accord”, the unofficial document that emerged from the ruins of the Copenhagen climate change summit in 2009.” [snip]

Well professors, hyperbole is like antibiotics. If you use it all the time in high doses for everything, and even when you don't need it, the stuff loses its effectiveness. You brought it on yourselves, but thank you anyway.

The theme of the first part of the article is telling -it’s irrelevant whether there is a scientific basis for AGW. What is important is what people believe at the time. Consideration the inculcation for AGW that has been taking place over the last 15-20 years it’s amazing that the number of believers seems to be decreasing.

There IS hope.

Without the GW hoax and the government scams, “jobs” and grants that it brings, a lot of college diplomas (Tuition receipts) aren’t going to be worth the paper they’re printed on. These maggots need to save their hoax and scam or it’s back to being the “fries guy” job at some fast food joint. No more taxpayer financed excursions to the poles to check on whether or not the ice is melting and to see how the penguins and polar bears are getting long.

Inconvenient Truth did for AGW what Stone’s JFK did for Kennedy conspiracy theories.

People need to see Jesse Ventura’s expose of the scam ;he calls it a conspiricy. He takes it all the way from Gore to Rockerfellers and Rothchilds. It’s all about new world order and nation control or destroy depending on the view.

New sales pitch:

“Give us your money and we will give it to power-crazed mass-murderers and communists and they will keep the glaciers from melting.”
