Climate dissent grows hotter as chill deepens (Brits maybe catching on?)

Last week, virtually unreported in Britain, the extraordinary winter weather of 2008 elsewhere in the world continued. In the USA, there were blizzards as far south as Texas and Arkansas, while in northern states and Canada what they are calling "the winter from hell" has continued to break records going back in some cases to 1873. Meanwhile in Asia more details emerged of the catastrophe caused by the northern hemisphere's greatest snow cover since 1966. It might have seemed timely that in New York an array of leading climatologists and other experts should have gathered for the most high-powered international conference yet to question the "consensus" on global warming. After three days of what the chairman called "the kind of free-spirited debate that is virtually absent from the global warming alarmist camp", the 500 delegates issued the Manhattan Declaration, stating that attempts by governments to reduce CO2 emissions would "markedly diminish further prosperity" while having "no appreciable impact" on the Earth's warming.

We need the world to wake up to the truth before Al Gore and his minions destroy our economy, steal our freedom, and cede control over our country to the UN.

Maybe the tide is starting to turn, but it will take a long time to turn the AGW ship around.

Maybe people are waking up to the fact that AGW is a sham and has no scientific basis. I also hope St. Algore gets further scrutinized especially about his carbon credit scams.

If the “warmists” could demonstrate one controlled experiment showing CO2 and Global Warming are connected...but they cannot.

Our anti-man-made-climate-change mantra needs to be “It’s the sun stupid”.

I thought it would take much longer, but this is the first of that crumbling sound we heard when the Eastern Block of the Soviet Union began to come apart.

"If the “warmists” could demonstrate one controlled experiment showing CO2 and Global Warming are connected...but they cannot."

Their hypothesis has been shot to hell and back twice and they keep plowing ahead with their political agenda. Their hypothesis states that with an increase of CO2 there is a positive CO2 radiative forcing (more heat gets trapped in the atmosphere than is coming in). Yet, from 1940-1980 the Earth cooled which blows their entire hypothesis. And from 1998 to today the "global temperature" has been in a cooling trend.

I just returned from France on Saturday. Was there for a week. Could not believe how many horror stories there were on “global warming.” Probably two or three each evening. Unbelievable.

Don't ya think Hollywood, Pulitzer commities, and the dopey people that fell for this scam are kind of embarrassed? I would be.

stating that attempts by governments to reduce CO2 emissions would "markedly diminish further prosperity" while having "no appreciable impact" on the Earth's warming.

But it will make liberals feel better. Spending other people's money in a futile attempt to solve something they have no control over is their life's calling.

They have no shame. Never had, never will. The forgetful media will forget the propaganda which has covered the front pages and filled the class rooms for the last 20 years.

"...the...hysterical abuse...so familiar from warmist fanatics...tellingly constrast(s) with the measured arguments put forward by...scientists..."

The readiness of nutcases to jump on the bandwagon is an indication of the intelligence level on which they function.

[ml/nj]

Don't you guys understand? All those Carbon Credits Al Gore has been selling have achieved the desired effect. Global Warming has been arrested just in the nick of time. We're doomed.

The Euros are clearly sucked in.

[MaxMax]

The Euros are clearly sucked in.

By their media-created hatred for America. This whole Global warming
fiasco was based on America being the largest polluters on the planet.
And as many were sucked into the abyss, the fix was in, so the MSM ran with it.
And something about some treaty we didn't sign made us even more evil.

France is mostly style and fashion, including in thinking. They will print the same thing over and over as different writers write the same thing over and over. When whoever is their fashion leader finally gets a fresh idea, they will all adopt that idea and everybody will write that way.

Why haven't we heard more about this? I have seen only one (brief) FR post.

Anyone got any links? Comprehensive or otherwise?

“What do you mean "posted already?”

I never saw it before, and I’m the center of the universe!.
Didn’t you get the memo?”
