I can’t stand the commercials where the kids start ticking like time bombs. It seems like the global warming crowd will stop at nothing in their quest to scare us.

There will be 98 speakers and 400 participants (at the March NY conference).That's a lot of manure. I'm sure it will grow many "News" stories in the Spring & Summer as the temperature rises.

This will be one of the rare opportunities for the media to hear the other side of the story -- for those old-fashioned journalists who still believe that their job is to inform the public, rather than promote an agenda. Unless there are free strippers, drinks and caviar, I am betting the journalists don't show up.

Some scientists say that the warming created the increased carbon dioxide, rather than vice versa. It's both. Some of the CO2 increase is natural, some is man-made. But the total increase doesn't lead to much warming without positive feedback from water vapor which is where the models don't model well. Also the solar cosmic effects on clouds are not factored into the models, but are very real and measurable.

The same sources that the "climate change" folks have been using to tout warming now say the Earth is cooling!

Unlike the big Y2K scare, proponents of Globull Warmth never have a deadline to reach. Disaster is always just a few years out.

A whole cottage industry has sprung up among people who get grants, government agencies who get appropriations, politicians who get publicity and the perpetually indignant who get something new to be indignant about. It gives teachers something to talk about in school instead of teaching. Global warming un-masked!

Many of the participants in this conference are people who have already expressed skepticism about either the prevailing explanations of current climate change or the dire predictions about future climate change.SHOCKED, I tell you. I am SHOCKED that this conference sponsored by the Heartland institute would include people that had ALREADY expressed skepticism about climate change like this! Doesn't the Heartland Institute, who is actually PAYING these participants to come to the meeting (and to stay in one of New York's finest hotels to boot!), know that there is a scientific consensus on this issue? I think it is APPALLING that such a noteworthy organization as the Heartland Institute would actually INVITE and PAY these scientists to express their views PUBLICALLY, in a conference attended by other like-minded SCIENTISTS.
I'll be shaking my head all day about this.

The gloom and doomers are not going to like this, they’ve exhausted too much time and money on the warming and now they’ll have to switch back to a coming mini ice age.

The subtitle of the upcoming conference -- "Global Warming: Truth or Swindle?" -- is also the title of a British television program that is now available on DVD in the United States. It is a devastating debunking of the current "global warming" hysteria.This is what a group of British climate scientists wrote about "The Great Global Warming Swindle" mockumentary:
"This programme misrepresented the state of scientific knowledge on global warming, claiming climate scientists are presenting lies. This is an outrageous statement... We defend the right of people to be sceptical, but for C4 to imply that the thousands of scientists and published peer-reviewed papers, summarised in the recent international science assessment, are misguided or lying lacks scientific credibility and simply beggars belief. (Alan Thorpe, Natural Environment Research Council, Brian Hoskins, University of Reading, Jo Haigh, Imperial College London, Myles Allen, University of Oxford, Peter Cox, University of Exeter, Colin Prentice, QUEST Programme, letter to the Observer, Sunday March 11, 2007).

They’ll just ignore the facts. The truth gets in the way of their ultimate objectives.
“Climate change” is a perfect issue for a wide range of liberals.
For some, it has become a religion...everybody needs a little religion.
For some, it is a tool to bash conservatives and Republicans.
For many, it is a way to make money and feel good about it.
For most, it is a way to stifle capitalism and bring “equality” to the world...socialism.
Most of all, it is an issue which is difficult to disprove, except over time. It is quite maddening that people buy into it.
Unfortunately, the damage will be done.
