Putting the burning question to global-warming alarmists
Herald Sun ^ | 10th June 2009 | Andrew Bolt

STEVE Fielding has had a conversion that could blow apart the great global warming scare.

No wonder the Rudd Government is scrambling and the ABC is already sliming the Family First senator.

You see, Fielding has suddenly realised that global warming may not be caused by humans after all.

What has startled him out of merely accepting we're heating the world to hell with our carbon dioxide emissions is one fact in particular.

While our emissions are increasing fast each year, satellite measurements show the world's temperatures have still not risen above the 1998 record, and have actually fallen since 2002.

.....

But here's why Fielding's conversion is potentially so much more dangerous to the Government than sniping from mere columnists or Coalition MPs.

Fielding is not just in a position to ask the Government the same question. He can also demand a straight answer.

If he does not get it, his vote in the Senate could destroy the Rudd Government's plan to impose billions of dollars of taxes on all our sources of emissions - from power stations and smelters to, eventually, even cows.

With the Liberals refusing to back the scheme this year, the Government needs not just the votes of the Greens but of the two crossbench senators, Nick Xenophon . . . and Fielding.

But Fielding, an engineer, is now insisting he be shown the proof that the world is even still warming, and the Government must at last justify its plan's most basic assumption.

Notice the “religious” nature of his decision: Four, five times it was described as a “conversion” (from the AGW “faith” of course!) - to what? That of realism and not GAIA?

It seems the sunspot activity has not cooperated with the global warming alarmists.

George Soros said we will all be cooked together unless we do something soon about man-made Global Warming. - Today on the BBC World Service. He also said that we need one world authority on global warming and one world government to prevent fighting among each country looking out for its own self-interest.

GW is BS. Soros, the funder of 0, is the biggest threat to the USA.
