Breaking: Less Than Half of all Published Scientists Endorse Global Warming Theory

US Senate Committee on Environment & Public Works ^ | August 29, 2007 | Matthew Dempsey

Could there be a conflict of interest for some of these scientists?

Said it before and I'll say it again, when it comes to human endeavors, if the facts don't add up, follow the money.....

I believe that most who adhere to global warming are merely substituting it for God.

I think the problem is more general than just "most who adhere to global warming." I think that the newswire - AP - functions as an oracle for liberals. If it's not "on the wire", goes the rationale, then it doesn't matter. My tagline puts it a little differently, but it comes to the same thing.

If you think what is not on the wire - at any given time, that would include

• the Bible.
• encyclopedias,
• the whole of the Library of Congress, save only for the newspapers/news magazines (if it has those).
• everything that went as expected yesterday.

Journalists treat the wire, which has everything bad and everything abnormal - to the near-perfect exclusion of anything qualifying for our attention under Philipians 4:8 - as their Oracle. And then people wonder why journalists aren't conservative . . .

Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate

Finally, brethren,

whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise,

think on these things. - Philipians 4:8 (KJV)

The consensus is, there is no consensus!

I am going to reduce my carbon footprint this weekend. I’ll be laying on the couch so as not to produce excessive CO2 from exhaling. Exercise is the cause of global warming.

The definition of modern day liberal political dogma.

I believe that most who adhere to global warming are merely substituting it for God. It is a religion, because humans have a need for something transcends their own existence.

I disagree. I think they are chasing grant money.

If there is a human-race-threatening crisis, then there will be plenty of grant money showering down on scientists working on global warming, If there is no impending environmental catastrophe, then there is no big paycheck at the end of the rainbow.

Too many scientists these days are whores. They tell the grant writers what the grant writers want to hear, so that they will get grant money. The government grant writers want a crisis, since that justifies a big-budget "War on Global Warming".

The introductory "Summary for Policymakers" -- the only portion usually quoted in the media -- is written not by scientists at all, but by politicians, and approved, word-by-word, by political representatives from member nations. By IPCC policy, the individual report chapters -- the only text actually written by scientists -- are edited to "ensure compliance" with the summary, which is typically published months before the actual report itself.

Fascinating revelation.

That's been widely known, at least here on FR, for quite some time. They've been doing it that way since the IPCC first started issuing it reports.

Dangit. Site said I was registered, but no open threads to post on. Weird. Try again later

[PeterPrinciple]

I wonder if there is a correlation showing that those funded by GW funds are fer it and those that didn’t are agin it.

[rockrr]

Nah, I could feel my intellect slipping away as soon as I opened the site! Those phools are too dim for real life...

I believe that most who adhere to global warming are merely substituting it for God.

Only God can control the weather. Some people would like to believe that humans have more control than they do, and they attempt to place more blame on humans because of that. Global warming is a crock...one day, everyone will have no choice but to realize that!

[bluefish]

Oh, I wouldn’t disagree with your comment here. You are speaking of the televangelist. I was speaking of those who write the checks.
