Global Warming Update
Townhall.com ^ | February 3, 2010 | Walter E. Williams

John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, in an hour-long television documentary titled "Global Warming: The Other Side," presents evidence that our National Climatic Data Center has been manipulating weather data just as the now disgraced and under investigation British University of East Anglia Climate Research Unit. The NCDC is a division of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Its manipulated climate data is used by the Goddard Institute of Space Studies, which is a division of the National Aeronautical and Space Administration. John Coleman's blockbuster five-part series can be seen here.

The Coleman documentary presents research by computer expert E. Michael Smith and Certified Consulting Meteorologist Joseph D'Aleo. During the 1960s and into the 1980s, the number of stations used for calculating global surface temperatures was about 6,000. By 1990, the number of stations dropped rapidly to about 1,500. Most of the stations lost were in the colder regions of the Earth. Not adjusting for their lost made temperatures appear to be higher than was in fact the case. According to Science & Environmental Policy Project, Russia reported that CRU was ignoring data from colder regions of Russia, even though these stations were still reporting data. That means data loss was not simply the result of station closings but deliberate decisions by CRU to ignore them in order to hype their global warming claims. D'Aleo and Smith report that our NCDC engaged in similar deceptive activity where they have dropped stations, particularly in colder climates, higher elevations or closer to the polar regions. Temperatures are now simply projected for these colder stations from other stations, usually in warmer climates.

Mounting evidence of scientific fraud might make little difference in terms of the response to manmade global warming hysteria. Why? Vested economic and political interests have emerged where trillions of dollars and social control are at stake. Therefore, many people who recognize the scientific fraud underlying global warming claims are likely to defend it anyway. Automobile companies have invested billions in research and investment in producing "green cars." General Electric and Phillips have spent millions lobbying Congress to outlaw incandescent bulbs so that they can force us to buy costly compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL). Farmers and ethanol manufacturers have gotten Congress to enact laws mandating greater use of their product, not to mention massive subsidies. Thousands of major corporations around the world have taken steps to reduce carbon emissions including giants like IBM, Nike, Coca-Cola and BP, the oil giant. Companies like Google, Yahoo and Dell have vowed to become "carbon neutral."

Then there's Chicago Climate Futures Exchange that plans to trade in billions of dollars of greenhouse gas emission allowances. Corporate America and labor unions, as well as their international counterparts have a huge multi-trillion dollar financial stake in the perpetuation of the global warming fraud. Federal, state and local agencies have spent billions of dollars and created millions of jobs to deal with one aspect or another of global warming.

It's deeper than just money. Schoolteachers have created polar-bear-dying lectures to frighten and indoctrinate our children when in fact there are more polar bears now than in 1950. They've taught children about melting glaciers. Just recently, the International Panel on Climate Change was forced to admit that their Himalayan glacier-melting fraud was done to "impact policy makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action."

What would all the beneficiaries of the global warming hype do if it becomes widely known and accepted that mankind's activities have very little to do with the Earth's temperature? I don't know but a lot of people would feel and look like idiots. But I bet that even if the permafrost returned as far south as New Jersey, as it once did, the warmers and their congressional stooges would still call for measures to fight global warming.

Here is the deal. If a fraud has been perpetrated by multiple agencies around the world, it is no accident. Someone is behind this. That someone needs to be discovered.

the warmers and their congressional stooges

The warmers is a pretty broad group, but we know exactly who the congressional Stooges are, by name. In addition, someone left out the media enablers and we have them pretty much figured out as well.

Yep, and they reside on both sides of the aisle. We should all remember names like McCain, Gingrich and others in future election cycles. These folks claim to be on the right, but have supported the fraud of AGM. Newt in particular has several speeches coming up in New Hampshire. If he's considering a run for POTUS it needs to be nipped in the bud. We're up to our elbows in RINO's, Newt. We don't need another one in elected office.....especially a RINO who saddles up with Nancy Pelousy to push AGM fraud...

Nothing gets done unless there is someone behind it providing the support,direction and confidence. It sounds like there was intentional deception dating back to 1990. Wonder what or who at that time was on the global scene that could get this plan in the works? I dont have an answer for that but we need to do some research.

I’ve read that one of the major players is a Canadian billionaire named Maurice Strong. He now lives in China because he has charges pending for bribery and fraud related to the UN “Oil for Food” corruption. In 1992 Strong gave Al Gore’s campaign 100,000 dollars.

Search the net about him there is plenty there.

agreed, in all sense, this deceit must be exposed... who has the where-with-all and honesty to proceed...?
GLOBAL WARMING WAS THE DEMISE OF THE PILTDOWN MAN!


both are/were perpetuated hoaxes...
The Piltdown man was in the first chapter my 6th grade history book presented as proof of evolution and as the missing link... so much for accuracy in textbooks...
I was only 11 and believed it....
PILTDOWN MAN WAS A HOAX!
GLOBAL WARMING IS A HOAX!
Both perpetuated by tenured eggheads housed in the halls of higher learning...and the government...

I believe that DuPont was protecting a VERY lucrative market share.

I heard someone voice this suspicion in 1998, but later saw an article that showed those patents had run out before the switchover.

In any case, lots of substances can be used as refrigerants. They just aren't as efficient as good old Freon.

You see that rather LARGE ball of fire that magically appears every day and changes the temperature, on some of those days by 40 deg F.?

You hear the latest one? It seems that the ozone hole has closed up because all the chlorine that "we" introduced into the atmosphere via our indescriminate use of polluting refrigerants has now been reabsorbed. And now that the hole is gone, THAT is contributing to global warming.

I should go and pop a can or two of R-12 in the back yard; maybe that will buy us another month or two.
