Global warming is a hoax?
www.examiner.com ^ | 11-24-2009 | Christopher Bracey

How many times have we heard that the world’s climate is being destroyed by the actions of man, especially westerners? Our lifestyle, our cars, our fireplaces, our lawn mowers, barbeque grills, and so on, are destroying the planet. A global emergency is at hand or we will surely bring about our end. We cannot wait any longer, the end is near. The sea will rise and hundreds of thousands will be displaced. The sky is falling! Everyone that questions the science behind this claim has been labeled a “ring wing lunatic” or simply not intelligent enough to understand the situation, since obviously liberals are the only truly enlightened ones. Just this week when I brought it up, a friend suggested that I “read some scientific journals” before we continue the debate. Well I suppose that would have completely substantiated the claim that man made climate change is a real phenomenon despite my insistence that it is not. Unfortunately it appears that this scientific evidence was not based on science at all. The data does not appear to support the findings that the temperature is indeed rising and there is little to no correlation to the so called “green house gases”.

Emails of some of the top scientists who supported this theory, often incorrectly referred to as a fact, were hacked and became available online for all to see. The emails suggested that data was overlooked when it disputed the claim or additional data was included to support it. Additionally efforts were made to conceal the information that didn’t support the claim or disputed it. True science does not allow the elimination of significant amounts of data. Though single points of data, outliers, which are often due to errors in recording, are often thrown out but never is it okay to pick and choose what information to use to support a position. If this theory, which so many have staked their livelihood to (Al Gore and many scientists) is debunked, what will the result be?

Many seem to think the leak, though damning, will not impact the long term position on global warming and climate change. Those that have the most to gain will surely discredit the doubters and they will attempt to push forward with the current plans that have already resulted in billions being spent and countless jobs being lost. Senator Inhofe (R-OK) isn’t planning to let this happen so easily however. He is calling for an investigation to determine if in fact there was “cooking of the books” with regard to climate change data and findings. I expect he’ll come to the same conclusion many already have, we simply aren’t 100% sure and we need to learn the truth before we all panic.

The sky may not be falling after all.

In the 70’s when temps were falling they warned of another ice age. Then when temps began to rise they settled on “global warming.” Now hat it’s apparent that man is not causing it, and that temps are down they have changed to “climate change.” It has always been the same scam, however.

See, who needs religion to shape the behavior of massive groups of people when you have pseudo-science? Funny how the same folks who call religions “myths” have no trouble spinning blarney from whole cloth AND judging the morality of others’ behavior based on their edicts.

Thank you... It’s so damn nice to hear someone speak the truth, in a few words. You are exactly right in your summation of this...

Congress is worthless. Despite Imhofe's good intentions, the 'rats won't let him hold hearings on anything. Civil litigation in the courts, here and abroad in the UK, will bring these scumbag imitation scientists to justice.

They were using "global warming" until about 2007. When it became obvious the temp was dropping and that there was not a consensus, they started saying "climate change." Easier to get funded since the temp is usually going one way or the other.

I can't remember who I heard say, that cooling was an indication of the long-term warming.

Obviously correct. Something has to be cooler before it can become warmer. Get with it, the science is settled. /s
