The Oregon State climatologist was fired

What? No he wasn't! He still has his job.

The doomsayers in the media and political classes were all atwitter last month when the most recent U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report was released, saying humans were partly to blame for global warming -- so I decided to read the report.

This is not possible. It's disheartening to read BS from the "wrong" side.

The final full, scientific report won't be available for a few more months, while it is being tweaked (redacted) to agree with what is availabe, the political "Summary".

Global warming is pure politics. It's got nothing to do with science. The same kind of parasites that live to suck off the teats of the UN are sucking off the taxpayers. What needs to be done is to start exposing the charlatans for what they are. Because they lack rigorous scientific skills, their earlier research and predictions should be full of obvious lies and erroneous predictions that can prove their scam nature.

All of science, whether it is climatology or biology, benefit from open debate. Those who claim their discipline is settled, and would stifle further debate, are not doing themselves, nor humanity, any favors. The very nature of the scientific endeavor is exploration - the search for truth. And when one party to the debate seeks to silence the other, science, and humanity, are the losers.

Personally I'm still going with the Global Cooling theory, maybe in August I'll switch over to Global Warming. Actually we should probably institute a law that mandates when you switch, kinda like when we switch to and from Daylight Savings time.

In short, over the next century, global temperature increases are likely to be modest and do not warrant the extreme measures a hysterical Left is pushing through. No one seriously believes the most drastic measures will do more than drive up energy costs needlessly, harm economic growth and destroy jobs - with few offsetting demonstrable benefits. Yet the Left is pushing such policies out of a fear that if nothing is done, we face a global apocalypse. This is quite exagerrated and the proponents of global warming have not shown the dangers outweigh the effects of the extreme policies they seek to pursue in the name of counteracting them. Granted, environmentalism has become a secular religion for the Left but on this subject its best cooler heads prevail for all our sakes as well as for that of the planet itself.
