Climate Change

By now it’s become obvious that only the stupid and power hungry believe that use of man-made fossil fuels is heating up the planet.

The revelations of the “Climategate Scandal” have proved what many of us have believed all along–that those in the highest echelons of power have been cooking the books for political and monetary purposes for many years. The hush-hush e-mails (whoever leaked them to the world should be TIME magazine’s Person of the Year) confirm that there is no unusual cycle of man-made warming taking place, but rather we are currently in a cooling cycle that has many cyclical causes to it. One cause is not driving your car.

We should have known that since the first grade when we learned to read that fossil-fuel burning contributes only 6% of CO2 emissions worldwide. This is only further proof that we’re getting really bad at math in the Western world.

Then there are the 16,500 Copenhagen delegates flying into Denmark on 140 private jets, renting 1200 limos, causing as big a carbon footprint at the entire city of Nashville, Tennessee, and telling the world that we must save the planet, rob the developed nations, and keep developing nations living in mud huts instead of improving their lives via technology (including the use of oil, gasoline, and natural gas). Are they all that delusional, or is money and power a much bigger draw than the simple facts?

It’s time to stand up to the global control crowd and say enough is enough. While continuing to increase our wise stewardship of God’s world, let’s unleash the inventiveness and drive of private business to develop all means of usable energy–oil, nuclear, wind, solar, bio, and everything else. That commitment could result in bringing billions of people out of poverty in the 21st century.

The following article by Alan Caruba is the final death-nail in the global warming hoax. Read it, pass it on and refuse to live in ignorance one day longer. Then go out, take a nice drive in your car, and pray that God would help us multiply these wonderful blessings to people in every nation.

Climategate: A Willful Ignorance

“Future generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early 21st century’s developed world went into hysterical panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back of the industrial age.”

“On such (climate) models we are supposed to wager trillions of dollars—and substantially diminished freedom.”

Long ago I took one science course in college because it was required, not because I had any great interest in science. The course was zoology, and only my end-of-semester paper on raccoons, an assigned subject, helped me avoid a failing grade. To this day, more than fifty years later, I still recall that its Latin name was Procyon lotar.
 
I cite this to indicate that anyone can learn science. It is neither mysterious, nor arcane. To some it is an intoxicating, powerful search for new understanding and new truth that becomes a lifelong pursuit, but even someone with no particular aptitude can grasp its fundamentals with a minimum of effort.
 
Why, then, do men entrusted with explaining the world to us, the reporters and editors of respected journals, resolutely refuse to embrace the truths that science offers in favor of the man-made myths intended to influence public opinion and policy?
 
Why do otherwise educated and apparently intelligent people publish a magazine like The Economist and put on its cover “Stopping Climate Change,” the headline of a 14-page “special report”?
 
This is an astonishingly stupid headline. Even a child knows you cannot “stop” climate change. None of the more than six billion people on Earth can “stop” climate change because one of the definitions of change is “to become different” and a planet that has existed for 4.5 billion years has passed through many changes long before the first appearance of Homo sapiens.
 
Imagine a child saying, “Make it stop snowing” or “make the Sun come out.” But there are more than 16,500 men and women this very day who are gathered in Copenhagen, Denmark, at a “climate change” conference based entirely on lies that defy simple truths about how the Earth functions.
 
Unless one was determined upon a willful ignorance of those truths, the vast body of lies that continue to be reported would and should sink beneath the weight of real science, legitimate science, not the computer model inventions that conveniently ignore the Medieval Warm period when temperatures were higher than they are now, a time when Chaucer (1342-1400) would write of vineyards in northern England, a time well before the Industrial Revolution and the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) that result from the use of coal, oil, and natural gas.
 
It is only willful ignorance that would keep a reporter or anyone else from knowing what has been known for years, that CO2 increases over the past 300,000 years have never caused temperature rise. Indeed, the rise of CO2 always follows in the wake of a temperature increase. What is so terribly wrong about the Copenhagen conference and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change sponsoring it is that its own member scientists know that too.
 
A week after the revelations of more than a thousand emails between the chief perpetrators of the science fraud that has since come to be called Climategate, an editor at The Economist could still write, “This newspaper believes that global warming is a serious threat, and that the world needs to take steps to try to avert it.”
 
Could The Economist be so uninformed, misinformed, or willfully ignorant of the commonly known fact that, despite a rise in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, the Earth has been in a new, natural cooling cycle for a decade?
 
Can all the labors of the 16,000 scientists, diplomats, politicians, and other assorted conspirators manage to ignore that fact?
 
Not only can they, the newest form of the fraud has emerged already and was trumpeted in the pages of The Economist, claiming beyond all credulity that the Earth’s vast “carbon sinks,” its oceans, forests and all vegetation, are unlikely to be able to “absorb” all the CO2 being produced by that most horrid of all creatures, human beings.
 
The IPCC should be disbanded as a threat to mankind. The EPA should be required by Congress to produce scientific proof that CO2 is a “pollutant” to be regulated. It cannot!
 
The people attending the conference should be run out of Copenhagen as if peasants were once again pursuing the monster, Frankenstein.
 
And The Economist, along with all the so-called scientific magazines and news outlets that have prostituted themselves to the global warming fraud, should issue an apology to their readers.
