AS THE WORLD'S scientists near consensus on human causes of climate change, even Exxon is cutting contributions and distancing itself from the global warming denial industry.
The deniers haven't conceded defeat, and lately have found a substitute for the "sound science" they once demanded. Their new tactic is the drive-by shooting.
The objective is distraction, to be achieved by demeaning the oracles, particularly the "Goreacle," of global warming.

Maybe by renaming this to tempofrost, the author's doomsday fears might lessen.
Don’t be ashamed. Some puppies require a lot of paper to be trained.
And there have to be a lot of fish to wrap in Portland...
How DARE they suggest that the huge ball of fire in the sky that is 1 MILLION times as large as the earth cause climate change! The nerve!
Don't trust main stream media. Their scare tactics have flip-flopped four times over the last eighty-some years.
The following graphs show that Earth is in a brief period of global warming called an interglacial. The longer time spans, the deep troughs are glacial periods. The line that runs across the graphs is the temperature in 1950 and listed as "0" on the left axis.
As can be seen in Figure 1-5, Earth appears ready to move toward another ice age in the cycle.
I'm more concerned with sustaining global warming to offset global cooling and the next ice age.

This first graph looks bad, doesn't it -- steeper upward temperature trend. Horizontal red line is temperature at 1950.
Figure 1-1 Global warming
The second graph shows today's temperature isn't out of the norm. Horizontal blue line is temperature at 1950.
Figure 1-2 Climate of the last 2400 years
The next graph shows a downtrend in temperatures from 8,000 years ago to today. The down trend is steeper in the recent 2,000 years. From left to right the upper spikes have lower highs while the lower spikes have lower lows. (The same effect can be seen in Figure 1-2, above.)
Figure 1-3 Climate of the last 12,000 years
This graph shows that agriculture and stationary societies emerged 8,000 years ago during a time frame when global temperature was much higher than normal, or average.
Figure 1-4 Climate of the last 100,000 years
The next graph shows that the recent 8,000 years was one of five brief hot spikes when glaciers were at minimums. With much longer troughs when glacials (ice ages) were the norm most of the time.

The graph below is reversed. That is, the left side is present day and the right side is 3 million years ago. It shows a 3 million year down trend toward widening extremes in the temperature cycle.

The final graph shows CO2 lagging temperature change -- not leading it.

When man can cause meaningful global warming yesterday would be a good time to begin thwarting the next ice age.

The fires allow them to complain about “extremes”.
There have been fires in the west for decades. You can even see them in that 35 year old documentary about the Loud family (one of the “first” reality shows).

Al Bore invented the Internet.
Putfile Version (Higher quality)
The moonbats have been voting down the first video "Inconvenient Hypocrisy", be sure to vote it back up to the top of the heap of videos about Al Bore.
Good anti-Global Warming video that picks apart Gore's stupid film.
Perhaps the author can explain why the OWNERS of Exxon have been the principle force behind this scam for decades.
Oh darn. Now I feel bad..real bad.
Were having global cooling here in Mpls today..a high in the mid 70’s, last week we had global warming highs in the upper 90’s. I just wish our mother the earth would make up her mind on what the climate is going to do.
Global Warnings goal is not to save the earth. The Earth is doing just fine. The goal is a fascist take over of major industries like oil and electricity etc. by using fear of mass annihilation as a propaganda tool.
In order for Socialism to work (although eventually the money will still run out and segments of the population will have to die for the sake of the "common good", like the unborn, elderly, or disabled to begin with.) absolute control of all the nations finances is a must (It's the only way to "equally share the wealth"). For example, Hillary even admitted she would like to take control of our health care and take the oil profits to use them for socialist programs.
It's all about power and absolute control - nothing more.
There have been fires in the west for decades.
There you are wrong. As everyone knows before the Bush coup in 2000 there were no fires in the west, all was sweetness and light.
I think the fires are part of a giant insidious plot be Jorge Bush and his elite minions in the multi-national corps. to distract us from securing the borders. That way they can sneek throught the (cue the ominious music) North American Union.
Since I have been living up here in Seattle for 15 years, I can’t remember a summer where we didn’t have the usual one week around July-August where temps were in the 90s.
But now every year during this week, we get blasted with non stop propaganda about how its hot like this because of global warming.
I remember the dier reports coming this spring about how Europe was going to melt this summer with record highs.
So far, Europe hasn’t had anything remotely that bad and all the euro global warming alarmists are depressed.
I haven't heard Al Gore complain about those martians and their quantum ingesting hog mobiles yet. Not even once! Why be so selective? Why isn't he blaming them the same way he blames us? Does he see the martians as future democrat voters? Are they another "protected" liberal voting block? Untouchable?
What about the polluting martians, Al? What are you doing about them?
The Martians are destroying the universe, too, and Al Gore isn't doing a dam(n) thing to try and stop them. We're all gonna die! Al Gore is a FRAUD.
Wait a minute. If the Earth is getting warmer then doesn’t that mean we’ll use LESS energy to heat our homes? Sounds like the Earth is self correcting. Except of course for that Sun thingy.
How long has Rush been using "Drive By Media"? If you can't beat 'em, steal from 'em.
I’ve lived in MA my whole life and I remember when the snowbanks were over my head. They aren’t that high anymore. Then again, I’m not two feet tall anymore either.
What they mean is "as opposition shuts up under threat of research grant cancellation..."
They're like gigantic wood stoves. Where does all that "environmental heat" go? Half the country is burning right now.
Too bad the loggers weren't "allowed" to be good stewards of the forests. Things would be much better right now for those families who've lost everything.
Just use all the carbon credits you want for free. It doesn't matter. There's no controlling legal authority.
