Climate Change: The scientist who claimed that global warming threatens polar bears is under investigation. There's a hole in Earth's greenhouse. A cooler era lies ahead. That hiss is the hot air coming out of alarmists' balloon.
The global warming fraud is coming apart faster than the alarmists can repackage and rebrand their fairy tale. Their elaborately constructed yarn can't hold together much longer. There are just too many loose ends:
Charles Monnett, the scientist who predicted that polar bears would drown from a lack of sea ice, "is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity" of the article in which he makes that claim, the Associated Press reported Thursday. Monnett, a federal wildlife biologist with the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, has been placed on leave pending the probe's outcome.
After Monnett claimed that the deaths of four drowned polar bears foretold of an increase in deaths "in the future if the observed trend of regression of pack ice and/or longer open water periods continues," polar bears became an environmentalist icon. Al Gore, for instance, resorted to emotion-evoking polar bear images in his climate change movie "An Inconvenient Truth." The New York Times Dot Earth blogger called it "a wrenching scene."
So wrenching was it that the alarmist machine has continued to use the animals to frighten the public into believing the global warming hysteria. And it didn't need to do much to turn public opinion in its favor. Research done at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has found that "when just 10% of the population holds an unshakable belief, their belief will always be adopted by the majority of the society."

Like the NASA satellites confirmed, the Earth is not retaining excessive heat.
Rigged computer models vs Actual science
Which with the politicians choose?
but with regard to the extremist “catastrophic AGW” campaign, as the editorial indicates the wheels are falling off that bus!!
Which one will the politicians choose?
The rigged computer models, every time.
Actual science is HARD. Like arithmetic.
Classic Junk Science:
(1) Darwinian evolution
(2) Global warming
(3) No linkage between breast cancer and abortion
(4) Secondhand smoke risks
The Arctic ice in my back yard melted about three months ago and my polar bear just loves it.

An area of Chile got 9 feet of snow in 4 days.
South Africa just experienced is greatest snow fall in 20 years.
Hundreds of skiers were trapped by snow in New Zealand.
Yet James Hansen continues his fraud unabated...
Why?
If there was ever a person on this planet that needed to have his license yanked, it would be Hansen.
Will the Nobel Committee demand that Gore give up his prize?
Seems like Junk Science is subject to get more government funding than Real Science. However Real Science usually pays for itself. Junk Scientists would like to put an end to that.
This seems to be talking about assertions of factoids (like the polar bear meme) to which there isn’t any dug-in opposition.
I sure wish I knew how the figures touted by lefty medicine about the dangers of second hand smoke were cranked out. One would have to exclude first-hand smokers from the study, for one thing — it can’t be as simple as “have you lived with a smoker.” If all the first hand smokers who also lived with smokers are kept in, then you can understand why the disastrous health statistics for them.
That said, secondhand cigarette smoke is a known nuisance irritant and could cause severe or fatal episodes in asthmatics. But they would be unlikely to be living with smokers for any length of time; either the smokers would quit or switch to outside smoking for their sake, or the asthmatics would leave.
“....called before Congress to explain his Carbon Trading scam....”
.
Congress? Many members are probably benefiting from his scam.
But then...only 10 percent of the Russian population were members of the Communist party. 2012 approaches. Elections will have consequences.
Pete: It's a fool that looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
Ah...
You must be part of the UNbelieving 90%.
(for now...)
