How the world was misled about global warming and now climate change
Canada Free Press ^ | 4/21/08 | Tim Ball

Posted on 04/21/2008 8:55:33 AM PDT by pissant

Once you realize humans are not causing global warming and/or climate change, then you need an explanation for how and why so many people appear to think they are. In two previous articles (Environmental Extremism and Historical and philosophical context of the climate change debate.) we examined the philosophical and historical context of climate change and specifically the focus on humans as the cause.

We explained the philosophical concept of uniformitarianism that dominates western science; the incorrect idea that change is gradual over long periods of time. We looked at how the scientific method of testing the theory that human CO2 was causing warming/climate change was effectively bypassed. Now we need to examine how politics took over climate science through exploitation of public fear and lack of knowledge.

Edgar Cayce, the American Prophet, saw that phenomenon in his dreams hundred years ago.

Edgar Cayce, the American Prophet Nutcase...

You expect to be taken seriously because Edgar Cayce had a vision of rising sea levels?

That I agree with! Que Sera Que Sara....what will be....will be.....one of my favorite songs.

And what WILL be is that life will go on except few Billions who would not.

Incas, one of the greatest civilization of its own time disappeared in less than 80 years. Even now we find temples covered up by rain-forest. We find evidence of farming in what is now Sahara. Same is true for Gobi Desert - evidence of thriving Civilizations. There are Viking villages buried under the ice-sheet in Greenland.

So yeah, what will be....will be.

Some say that if you limit amount of CO2 that you release in the year, you can prevent the Polar Caps from melting. Thus the efforts underway to keep the planet the way we know it. Otherwise, there it would just be different and that will be that.

Yes. I have read about Edgar Cayce and his work. Seemed like a reasonable descent Human Being. Read more about him before you go off the handle. I don’ know if everything he said is true. However, there are many things he predicted that have come true. So its just one point out there.

Try this on for size. If GWB or anyone else was to say publicly the the global warming, CO2, etc. problems were all hogwash, the green ninnies, environmental wackos and the American press would crucify them. Worse yet, the Donks would have a heyday with it.

uh huh.....I was just reading last night about the water shortages that futurists are worried about.....sorry, I'm NOT worried about the ice caps melting.....as civilization progresses we figure out ways to deal with issues....at least those who live in the 21st century.

I love everything you say! We would indeed find out ways to deal with it as Civilization progresses. Step #1 - limit the amount of CO2 released in atomosphere by finding sources of energy besides burning fossil fuels. Even today in US we get half of our Electricity by buring Oil. How stupid is that? It costs more, hurts economy, hurts enviorment, finances our enemies. France gets 80%+ of its Electricity from Nuclear Energy. Its cheapest, greenest and safest. In less than 5 years, if we had a leader that can stand up for Nuclear energy, we could have unbelieveable impact on fuel costs, economy and enviorment. Good impact that is!

product is development of a new tax base

I wish someone would expand on this theme. People who advocate government expansion are no different from those working in other industries; product/service development is an ongoing process.

Socialism should simply be recognized as merely a front for governmental "entrepreneurs". Selling socialism through disaffection via class envy, environmental alarmism, etc is really no different than PG assuring consumers that their smiles will be brighter if they buy new Crest with special formula XYZ.

No he is not a supermodel weather girl. But he is brilliant. The man calculated existence of Black Holes and Black Matter before it was proven they exist. You listen to people who think in Mathematics.

You don’t fight fraud by admitting that it is a “serious problem”

The AGW fraud IS a serious problem, and I believe the President understands this.

When you get as much publicity as that little man, you are an expert on everything. Just ask him!

There won’t be a flood. God said so in Genesis 9. And, would take God’s word over Edgar Cayce, if you don’t mind.
