Is the debate over Global Warming really over, as Al Gore insists, or is it actually just beginning?
Here are 99 brave scientists willing to stand up to the Global Warming Fanatics in the name of, well, science. Of course, they will now be attacked as being no better than Holocaust deniers, they will have their reputations smeared as shills for Big Oil.
What Global Warming believers fail to understand is that the stridency of their belief, their unwillingness to accept or respect dissent, is driving many to take a long look at the claims of so-called skeptics.
When a debate has been so poisoned as this one has, this is surely a good thing. Many, many people are interested in an open, honest debate about this issue.
Open Letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations
In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate change is “settled,” significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming. But because IPCC working groups were generally instructed (see http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/wg1_timetable_2006-08-14.pdf) to consider work published only through May, 2005, these important findings are not included in their reports; i.e., the IPCC assessment reports are already materially outdated.
The UN climate conference in Bali has been planned to take the world along a path of severe CO2 restrictions, ignoring the lessons apparent from the failure of the Kyoto Protocol, the chaotic nature of the European CO2 trading market, and the ineffectiveness of other costly initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Balanced cost/benefit analyses provide no support for the introduction of global measures to cap and reduce energy consumption for the purpose of restricting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it is irrational to apply the “precautionary principle” because many scientists recognize that both climatic coolings and warmings are realistic possibilities over the medium-term future.
The current UN focus on “fighting climate change,” as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme’s Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity’s real and pressing problems.
Here is Al Gore trashing his country, while in Indonesia, for some cheap applause from his fellow Global Warming Fanatics,
If Al is so certain that his view is the right one, why won’t he debate Bjorn Lomborg? Why won’t he debate anyone? Why does Al Gore only give speeches in echo chambers, filled with true believers? It’s because he is a complete fraud.
