Lengthy but excellent article. Includes a description of the six Tools of Bullying used against those that dare question the claim that humans are causing global warming:
- Expropriating the moral high ground of environmentalism.
- Claiming that funding from some sources is tainted.
- Assuring that the many scientists who try hard to avoid politics continue to do so.
- Questioning credentials of those who speak out against the hypothesis, but never mentioning it for those in support.
- Belittling opponents by calling them skeptics, or deniers.
- Forcing large corporations and governments to waste money by pretending to be green because they fear the accusations they are not good citizens.

I knew Global Warmism was a complete fraud when I noticed all the luxury private jets and chauffered limos at all the Al Gore conferences.

Ping for my hypothesis about the questionable ‘peer review’ process.

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

If you have not seen the video of Al Gore ominously predicting the demise of the Polar Ice Cap, you have to watch this video on Youtube. Mark your calendars, Al has set a timetable for us!
The Polar Ice Cap Will Be Gone in 5 Years

Al Gore
Al Gore says that the polar ice cap will be completely gone in 5 years!
Click on the image above to see the video where he says it!

This whole scam is/was only possible with the full consent of the MSM.
These people, for years, have their credibility riding on global warming by jumping on this bandwagon for reasons of sensationalism driving profits.
Hard to get off and lose customers/viewers loyalty and trust.

When a bureaucrat convinces a politician of a scientific position, as Hansen has so forcefully done with Gore and Obama, and they make it a major part of their political positions he is on a treadmill. He has to keep spinning the story and avoid the facts while increasing the threats.
Hansen is proving himself to be an ideologue and NOT a scientist.
A real scientist would not make ANY claim until he was sure based on real evidence (not models).
A real scientist would take evidence that does not line up with a previous hypothesis and carefully study it further.
Hansen needs to be fired for incompetence and jailed for attempted fraud on the free world.
