...But we're hearing far too often that the "science" is "settled", and that it is mankind's contribution to the natural CO2 in the atmosphere has been the principal cause of an increasing "Greenhouse Effect", which is the root "cause" of global warming. We're also hearing that "all the world's scientists now agree on this settled science", and it is now time to quickly and most radically alter our culture, and prevent a looming global catastrophe. And last, but not least, we're seeing a sort of mass hysteria sweeping our culture which is really quite disturbing. Historians ponder how the entire nation of Germany could possibly have goose-stepped into place in such a short time, and we have similar unrest. Have we become a nation of overnight loonies?....

I view anything that helps to destroy the flawed logic backing global warming, as a very good thing.  Thanks for the mention.


                          The following is directed to Freepers who haven't donated or signed up for monthlies yet...



22% is good.  100% is better.  You know you're going to do it.  Pull the trigger!  You don't have to pay it all now.  $5 now, $25 next week, $10 later... keep the ball rolling.

Monthly donorship is a good way for us to avoid having to do the Freepathons.  Besides, it's a great way to pony up in style.
If you're on the verge of becoming a monthly donor or you think you would like to up your monthly donation a bit, has Jim got a deal for you. 
Check this out.  There's an added incentive for a limited time only.  (Always wanted to type that...)


Thanks to Freepers who have been frequenting the Freepathon thread to ham it up with folks over there.  It helps to raise the visibility of the Freepathon.

Jump into the Monthly Donorship special thread too.

The Spirit Of Allegiance says, "For those about to donate, I salute you!"  So do I.

The “science” is settled just like the solids in the mechanical sanitary system for my house...

Maybe if they scream louder and at a higher pitch, they can drown out the voices from the sane?

It has taken over 15 years, but more and more scientists are speaking out against this scam. There has been more skeptics speaking out in the last year than the previous 15 years. Finally, people are really looking at the science and scratching their heads wondering how these alarmists came to their wacky conclusions.

Dennis Hedke has put together a GREAT Powerpoint presentation on these issues.
If you can generate a crowd to hear it, he will probably agree to show up, or give his presentation to another person who understands the science involved.
You can find him with a simple Browser search, he lives in Wichita, Kansas.

As one that actually understands that math - it’s comforting to know that it’s actually being used. On the “progressive” side, we have Al Gore, who couldn’t get past an elementary calculus class.

"The Settled Science of Global Warming"

"Maybe if they scream louder and at a higher pitch, they can drown out the voices from the sane?"

That's exactly the truth. A tried and true leftist tactic, and a totalitarian tactic. The Nazis used it to great effect when starting to consolidate their power, especially when they began tearing down the Jews in the national consciousness.

With the alleged fall of communism (actually, they just swapped their uniforms for blue suits, tucked their pistols into their waistbands and changed their names — and darned if one didn’t move into the White House!), the Globull Elite needed a new BOOGEYMAN with which to frighten and control the dumb masses (say it fast for maximum effect): THE ECOLOGY and MAN CAUSED GLOBULL WARMING GOT THE NOD!

Oh yeah, I forgot the cool part about picking the pockets of the wealthier nations to enrich some of them and their leading drum major, Algore while bleeding the nasty old United States white. (PAGING ALGORE – PAGING ALGORE…log into your dozen bank accounts ASAP. They are WAAAYYYY over the FDIC insurance limit! Username reminder: FREAKING_PHONEY/Password reminder: Village_idiot)

The elitists’ ultimate goal of all this man-caused GLOBULL WARMING HYSTERIA is to level the nasty old U.S. with the Turd World despotisms with which we are to be merged into their New World Odor (misspelling intentional) where TADA (trumpet fanfare here!), the GLOBULL ELITES will BE IN CHARGE.

Questions??

Today the solar flux is 67 and the sunspot number is zero .... extremely low!!! We are in an extended solar minimum. Bookmark www.solarcycle24.com and www.iceagenow.com and just observe the numbers daily.

I forgot to compliment the author - this was a very succinct summary of the almost uncountable flaws used to defend “climate change”. Excellent work.

TY -- TYVM.

In an expression of just how emboldened our would-be masters have become -- as well as a testament to the stupidity/apathy of vast majority of their soon-to-be subjects and serfs -- old ALGORE remarked recently that Cap & Trade is perhaps the FINAL step into their longed for GLOBAL GOVERNANCE.

And except for the alert patriots here at FR and a handful of other places, there was nary a whimper to be heard.

“Settled Science” is an oxymoron.
