The Author appeared on the Britt Hume Foxnews show: Special Report and gave an excellent account of the "Global Warming Hoax" and why it is occurring. Basically the sponsoring organizations need to keep it at the top of the news cycle to continue the funding of their various enterprisis.....

Crichton's new book "State of Fear" covers this PR campaign by the Global warming industry. Very un-PC book with a bonus....Hollywood actor is sushi'd and eaten.

oh my...you mean government bureaucrats holding the purse strings actually influence the outcome of the studies they fund???...I am shocked!...SHOCKED!!!

Global COOLING		Global WARMING
It's NATURAL... Has nothing to do with burning fossil fuels!

I am waiting for the day when they say that the VRWC is causing GW.

Don't laugh. Given the "expertise" you see / hear these days, someone is bound to figure it out.

This post will self-destruct in 5 election cycles.

The report on Brit Hume was understandable, calm and terrific..Yes we have global warming(very minor)yes, we can predict it into the future, yes the ocean rose 4 inches, no it is not panic time, yes it is big bucks to promote the fear...donations pour in.

I read Michael's previous book, "The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air About Global Warming," and it was excellent. I also have, but have not read, Bjorn Lomborg's book, "The Skeptical Environmentalist."

It's bunk....all the global warming hysteria. You need look no further than the hyperbole that is used to sell the idea to determine that someone is hyping it, big time.

Did I mention that I LOVE MY SUV?

Actually, it does look like there's a little global warming. But just not caused by CO2, since that's been going up continuously while temp went up till 1935, down till 1970, and up till now.

Obviously, there's something else at work with more effect than CO2.

My theory is the warming is caused by environmental regulations. Since the soot from coal plants and diesel has been reduced since the 70's, it's allowed the CO2 rise to effect warming. Had we not had the environmental rules of the 70's, the cooling caused by the particulates would have continued.

Environmentalisim causes global warming.

No wonder Kyoto excluded China and India. Their horrible polution is probably all that's preventing us from cooking. LOL.

Was he on today's Special Report? If so I'll catch the replay at 10 pm MST.

The term is "grant-grubber"--and everyone would be wise to take any alarmism from any erstwhile "scientist" with healthy seasonings of salt.

I'll have to tape this one. Patrick Michaels is a huge asset on our side.

He argues that researchers and reporters mistakenly ascribe normal fluctuations in local weather to global warming....

Sounds like the "Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy" redux.... (cheery-picking the data to support an unsupported conclusion)

[Doctor Stochastic]

This seems to be the third position taken re greenhouse gases.

First: The Earth is not getting warmer.

Second: The Earth is getting warmer, but it'd due to natural causes.

Third: The Earth is getting warmer due to anthropogenic gas generation, but it's good for us.

I don't know which is currently the most popular.
