The early returns of the Cult of Global Warming are in and they are not flattering. An ever-growing body of reputable scientists are gathering their courage and calling Global Warming what it is: an enormous hoax whose aim is not saving the planet, but rather, carrying the torch for communism and its utterly discredited bag of lies whose sole aim is to give a small group of elites control over the Earth’s stupid and uneducated population. For their own good, of course.
Recently, John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel, a meteorologist who now works at KUSI TV in San Diego, and a member of the International Climate and Environmental Change Assessment Project (ICECAP), publicly decried the Global Warming Hoax:
"It is the greatest scam in history," said Coleman on the ICECAP Web site. "Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long-term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the 'research' to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims… In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious as the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped. The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway."
An ever growing body of data reflected on hundreds of websites not controlled by Big Media shows the hoax for what it is. Cherry-picked statistics; weather observation stations built within arm’s reach of large man-made heat sources; screeching about melting some arctic ice fields while studiously ignoring a simultaneous and equal increase in ice in other arctic locations; PhotoShopped pictures of polar bears drowning and elephants mummified in Africa; the list is nearly endless. One scientist has linked more than 600 bogus science websites to the topic “global warming.” Almost all are alarmist, if not just plain dishonest.
It needs to be noted that The Global Warming Hoax has been seen before, wearing different clothes. In the last century it was called Lysenkoism...
I canceled National Geographic a few years ago for the same reasons you are. I had been a member of the society since 1979. I just couldn't subject myself or my kids to the "earth first" garbage anymore.
I’m glad that someone else is picking up on the Lysenko simile. I called it that a year or more ago, when the Gore machine began proposing carbon indulgences.
The EU and the UN are going to fill in for him.
I like that. So true. I had to drop National Geo a few years ago. They try to re-solicit me every year around Christmas. I was starting to weaken, I love the photography and the stories (before some of them became 'Potemkin villages'). I'm glad you reminded me why I dropped it!
Does that make Ben Stein, with his new movie featuring shunned scientists who refused to play along, a new kind of “Nikolai Vavilov”? I think so.
Add Nature, Discover, Popular Science, Readers Digest, Newsweek, Time, NYTimes, The Economist, ...... to that list. Cosmo, Vanity Fair, .....
About the only one willing to actually look at things is Popular Mechanics.
