The Great Global Warming Hoax?

1. The "Greenhouse Effect" is a natural and valuable phenomenon, without which, the planet would be uninhabitable. 2. Global Warming, at least in recent times, is real.
3. CO2 is not a significant greenhouse gas; 95% of the contribution is due to Water Vapor.
4. Man's contribution to Greenhouse Gasses is relatively insignificant. We didn't cause the recent Global Warming and we cannot stop it.
5. Solar Activity appears to be the principal driver for Climate Change.
6. CO2 is a useful trace gas in the atmosphere, and the planet would actually benefit by having more, not less of it, because it is not a driver for Global Warming and would enrich our vegetation, yielding better crops to feed the expanding population.
7. CO2 is not causing global warming, in fact, CO2 is lagging temperature change in all reliable datasets. The cart is not pulling the donkey.

No one has yet convinced me that even #2 is true. Since 1998, we’ve been cooling.
I am tired of conceding that point. It’s pointless.

Wow, so the fact that the recent polar caps melting on MARS was NOT caused by me driving my gas guzzling SUV creating Global Warming by spitting out tons of CO2 in the atmosphere, by was actually caused by increased solar activity by the SUN??
Phew, thats a relief!
/sarcasm off!!!

It's a very lengthy article which I surely will read in its entirety, later.
But, caught this...
"They also have a right to spin the news any direction they choose, because that's what freedom of the press is all about."
which I believe to be completely wrong-headed thinking.
Freedom of the press does not give the press people the right to spin the new or information. That's a job for editor, non-news commentators, or politicians. A reporter doesn't have the right to spin or change the news, and he doesn't have the right to reject information which can run counter to other news or information.

The reason, in my opinion, that global warming alarmists are winning their propaganda war is because the scientific method is either no longer being taught, or no longer being properly taught. In other words, people do not understand the importance of substantiating scientific facts with the consistent results of repeatable, scientific-method based experimentation. As a consequence, global warming alarmists have been able to use courtroom theatrics to sell their politically correct ideas based on inconclusive evidence to the jury, thats people like you and me.

Make sure you read the whole article at the link, send it to your friends, and save a copy to your PC. It is one of the best Warmist debunking articles I've ever seen -- and even the science/math portions of it are quite readable for the average person.

No. The reason is that scientists have been bought off by research grants from pro-GW government and private institutions. If scientists don’t chant the GW mantra and support the “consensus” drivel they lose funding and have their standing in the scientific community threatened!
