Wonderful, fact filled article debunking the global hot airheads. I just can't understand why so many seemingly smart people buy into Al Gore and fail to realize the 'Inconvenient Truth' is that global warming is the Eugenics of the 21st century. We can only hope it does not take 50 years to debunk this junk science.

Eugenics is bogus science?

So selective breeding doesn't have an effect on phenotype?

Politically correct bullchit.

Funny how the opposite of "the elites" thinking has come true - the elites are reproducing less than the lower and middle classes.

John Linder is a fine man... he has served my State well.

What is funny to me is, there will be some nut ball who will say "OOOhh... He's a congressman. What does he know?"
Completely overlooking AL Gore's total lack of credentials.

I know this because just last night I sited Thomas Sowell and Michael Crichton to know-it-all global warmer after he had spent Ten minutes going on about Gore's movie. He said that these men were not qualified to talk about the environment they were not scientist.
I was forced to rip him a new one.

Climate Audit is a blog run by two reputable Canadian climate scientist who are skeptics. Link below is technical but is about NOAA (U.S. govt. bureaucrats) beginning to fabricate historic temperature data to support global warming theory:

Forget global warming. Watch the Roy Beck thiteen minute video on immigration and overpopulation in the US. This is REAL science.

Discussion of the eugenics movement, by Crichton himself

Why Politicized Science is Dangerous

The theory of eugenics postulated a crisis of the gene pool leading to the deterioration of the human race. [snip]

First, despite the construction of Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory, despite the efforts of universities and the pleadings of lawyers, there was no scientific basis for eugenics. In fact, nobody at that time knew what a gene really was. The movement was able to proceed because it employed vague terms never rigorously defined. "Feeble-mindedness" could mean anything from poverty to illiteracy to epilepsy. Similarly, there was no clear definition of "degenerate" or "unfit."

Second, the eugenics movement was really a social program masquerading as a scientific one. What drove it was concern about immigration and racism and undesirable people moving into one's neighborhood or country. Once again, vague terminology helped conceal what was really going on. The theory of eugenics postulated a crisis of the gene pool leading to the deterioration of the human race.

Third, and most distressing, the scientific establishment in both the United States and Germany did not mount any sustained protest. Quite the contrary.

....the popular embrace of the "science" of eugenics a century ago. For nearly 50 years, from the late 1800s through the first half of the 20th century, there grew a common political acceptance by the world's thinkers, political leaders and media elite that the "science" of eugenics was settled science.

Is this guy on crack?

Eugenics IS "settled science". It's done every day with everything from HORSES to Wheat. It's just not politically correct to to say it is, or connect it to humans, that's all.
