I wrote this to try to explain what I see has grown in to an environmental religion that is really based upon a basic misunderstanding of English and the scientific method.

Don't sweat it. Global Warming died Novemver 5th. It's official; it's over.
Might take some time to filter through the acadamia (say, 50 years or so).
But mark my words, it is now officially dead.
This silly communist attempt at redistribution of wealth just died. That's all it was.
Just ask the guy from Canada. He's on the cutting edge, ahead of the backlash that is coming.
Europe is already starting to smootch up a bit.
The Clinton era is OVER!!!!! Woooo hoooo!

I believe Global Warming to be a fact. Here in Hilo, HI there's a volcano, Mauna Kea, that used to have snow every winter. There's been no snow for the last 6 or 7 years, except for the occasional winter storm that blows through.
The winters have been warmer and the summers hotter and drier, especially during El Nino years.
What I don't believe, and I don't believe that science has proved, is that Global Warming is a man-made phenomenon. And it's that fact that the leftist media, the U.N., and the enviro-whackjobs constantlly get wrong.

I think the reason that this bothers me so much is that I care about the planet so much because I want to ensure a good quality of life for my children. As long as people are talking apples and oranges, we can not have an intelligent discussion about what is happening in the environment. Good article and I agree with you. Back in the '70s, I worked very hard supporting environment issues.
Unfortunately, the more I worked in the field documenting actual pollution cases, the more I realized something was wrong with the picture.
Oh sure, I was able to take some horrifying film of a waterfall with 3 feet of soap suds at it's base. Everyone was disgusted with the images and thanked me for my work. What I did not show, was a thriving community of fish only 3 feet away. Why? Because my job was to document the horrors of pollution! Although my films were factual, it was a classic case of selective editing.
Eventually, I became so disgusted with the fraud, that I left it forever. Today, I am proud to be labeled an Anti-Environmentalist!

Maybe this will help. The earth is 3 degrees colder today
than in 1940, in the 11th century the continent Greenland
was farmland occupied by Vikings, now it's a mile thick
iceberg. A simple temperature statement slays anything
these idiots have to say.

Scientific Method being the key phrase. Only an arrogant and ignorant pseudo-scientist (realizing the world is as old as it is) would try to predict a trend based on data which has only been recorded for a scant 100 or so years.

I agree there is no such thing as Global Warming. That's why my perferred term is Gorebull Warnings, which is a proven phenonon.

Global Warming? A Misunderstanding with a dash of LiesTry 1) a mis-interpretation of 2) aging ground-stations influenced by 3) a growing "urban heat-island effect" that tends to skew readings coupled with a political agenda that is dead set on blaming MAN for natural global changes ...
PS. Balloon data and satellites don't show this 'warming trend' that the ground station data minutely indicates ...

Two things always come to mind with this "golbal warming" cr_p.
1) In the 1970's the panic was that we were headed into an ice age. (Golbal Warming... NOT!!!)
2) If not for global warming Ohio would still be under a glaicer. Then again, what has Ohio done for us lately???

We understand the lies; that is why we gave the Republicans the power to set the record straight.

If leftists really believed in global warming -- they don't -- they would be marching in the streets for nuke plants on every block.

Global Alarming is a tool of eurocentric grad student/bureaucrats for increasing their power and holding back the U.S. Less than .0001 % of CO2 is man made and it is NOT a pollutant!
