Consensus or Censorship?
Townhall.com ^ | March 26, 2009 | Cal Thomas

The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted a "finding" to the White House Office of Management and Budget that will force the Obama administration to decide whether to limit greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act. If adopted, new laws and regulations will likely follow that have the potential to change our lifestyles and limit our freedoms. None of these laws and regulations will be preceded by debate, they will be imposed on us by fundamentalist politicians and scientists who have swallowed the Kool-Aid and declared global warming as fact; end of discussion.

On the Discovery Channel last week, Tom Brokaw hosted a special called "Global Warming: The New Challenge." While promoting the piece, Brokaw declared, "there is a growing consensus that global warming is real and getting worse." Actually, there is a growing body of opinion that global warming is a fraud perpetrated by liberal politicians and their scientific acolytes who want more control over our lives.

Whenever politicians declare a crisis, or an emergency, watch out. Chances are this means they want to impose something before the public discovers the truth.

One of the definitions of consensus is "general agreement or concord; harmony." Any honest assessment of scientific opinion leads to the conclusion that there is significant disagreement on global warming within the scientific community among those with expertise in climatology and related fields. Yet many politicians want us to believe all of science is on board with manmade global warming and that we must act now to save the planet and ourselves from catastrophe (catastrophe is another word politicians like to use when imposing their agendas).

You know something is up when prominent apostles of global warming, especially former vice president and Nobel Laureate, Al Gore, refuse to debate or discuss the issue with any scientist who takes a contrary view. Some religious fundamentalists impose various codes of behavior and dress on their adherents and threaten expulsion (if not death) for those who fail to acquiesce to their dictates. Is it not fundamentalist science to ignore any evidence that casts doubt on global warming? For a treasure trove of information that debunks the "science" of global warming visit www.globalwarminghoax.com.

For global warming fundamentalists, no amount of contradictory information will dilute their faith. Science makes mistakes, as did NASA when it published data on global warming trends in an effort to gauge the warmest years in U.S. history. Their temperature statistics were flawed. The year 1998 was not the hottest year on record, as NASA originally stated, it was 1934 -- the year Wiley Post discovered the jet stream.

In New York earlier this month, more than 600 scientists, economists, legislators and journalists from many nations met for the second International Conference on Climate Change. Numerous presentations debunked with documentation what they called the pseudoscience and dictatorial intentions promoted by the UN, the European Union and the Obama administration. If there was media coverage of the event, I missed it.

The keynote speaker at the gathering was Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic and the European Union. Klaus described environmentalism as a new collectivist religion that doesn't just want to change the climate, but us as well. Klaus rejected the executive summary published by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as all politics and environmental activism, "not science."

The Australian newspaper recently reported on three senior Japanese scientists who separately engaged in climate-change research and "have strongly questioned the validity of the manmade global warming model that underpins the drive by the UN and most developed-nation governments to curb greenhouse gas emissions." One of the scientists, Kanya Kusano, told the newspaper, "I believe the anthropogenic (manmade) effect for climate change is still only one of the hypotheses to explain the variability of climate."

Shunichi Akasofu, founding director of the University of Alaska's International Arctic Research Centre added, "Before anyone noticed, this hypothesis has been substituted for truth."

Truth is sometimes inconvenient, as Al Gore likes to say. But that cuts both ways. Truth can also be inconvenient when it shines light on propaganda. Not to allow for a full-fledged debate on global warming is censorship, a popular practice in totalitarian societies and many fundamentalist religions and cults.

Envionmental Scientific Nazism was first used to silence critics of the FACT of evolution. Having succeeded there, the science Nazis have turned their guns to any who would question the FACT of global warming.

I might add that these are all the same Nazi scientists who insist on the fact of the dangers of second hand smoke.

Science has become a tool of the National Socialists to strip the world of Liberty in the name of Godless Socialism.

[Regime Change NOW.]

I now expect it to come to a military coup. The EPA is also announcing an end to mountain top coal mining. Whole energy industries could soon be wiped out. The tipping point hasn’t been reached, but we seem to be sliding in that direction.

Way to hijack a thread. See tagline, maroon.

Global warming is not happening. The earth has cooled this century.

If I wanted to hijack a thread, I have an army at my disposal.

My only hindrance is that I don't have a ping list.

Wait 'til the "scientists" force you to have one.

I thought the historical documents said thread hijacking could only happen on Fridays. Or does that change during Lent?

So people that believe in evolution are Nazis? That is your position?

And people that believe in evolution, but don’t believe in the Global Warming BS, what is your position on them?

Yes, during Lent we can hijack a thread on any day except friday.

Unless the theme of the hijacking is “fish or fishing humor” in which case the hijacking is restricted to Fridays....spelled FRYdays during Lent.

This hijacking would be about eco-nazis, darwin-nazis, and/or global currency-nazis.

Nazis believe in the government running everything so long as they get to be one of the big shots.

Initial Neener Nazi Joke:

Two Nazis go to the White House. As they enter, the one turns to the other and says:

How you feelin’ today, Barak?

Socialism is indeed Godless. That said, I believe in evolution, think second-hand smoke danger is idiotic, and know, yes, know, that global warming is not hapenning. But you compare me to a Nazi because I believe in evolution. Good for you. I won't compare you to anything.

Darwin and Nietzche were the philosophical fathers of Nazism.

Fact.

No atheist can be a reliable conservative. An evolutionist is not necessarily an atheist....but he is generally a confused theist.

No, but you did call him a "maroon" when he posted his opinion on the article to the poster of the article and not to you.

Your internet army sure showed up. I guess stating that evolutionists (even us that believe in God, think second-hand smoke is idiocy, and believe global warming is a crock) are Nazis doesn’t quite cut it.

Yup. Called him/her/whatever that when he/she called all evolutionists Nazis. I certainly could have called a lot worse than "maroon" Something worse than "Nazi.". And he/she started it, member of internet army. Us Believers in God that also believe in evolution are pretty sick of being called names like "Nazi" by maroons.

Maybe as a Believer in God you should read his Word that would tell you not to call your brother a “maroon.”

Just sayin’...

There are many books of word.

I know that the koran is the devil.

But Hindi is the book of love.
