Discussions about global warming are marked by an increasing desire to stamp out “impure”
thinking, to the point of questioning the value of democratic debate. But shutting down
discussion simply means the disappearance of reason from public policy.

Imagine if there were no reliable records of global surface temperature.
Raucous policy debates such as cap-and-trade would have no scientific basis,
Al Gore would at this point be little more than a historical footnote,
and President Obama would not be spending this U.N. session talking up a
(likely unattainable) international climate deal in Copenhagen in December.
Steel yourself for the new reality, because the data needed to verify the
gloom-and-doom warming forecasts have disappeared.

This headline may come as a bit of a surprise, so too might that fact that the warmest year recorded globally was not in 2008 or 2007, but in 1998.
But it is true. For the last 11 years we have not observed any increase in global temperatures.

In this short clip Gore repeats most of the falsehoods from his movie “An Inconvenient Truth.” What’s amazing is he does this even though many other groups have identified the errors. For example, among scientists Lord Christopher Monckton identified 35 major errors.

'In recent years, many Americans have had cause to wonder whether decisions made at EPA
were guided by science and the law, or whether those principles had been trumped by
politics," declared Lisa Jackson in San Francisco last week. The Environmental Protection
Agency chief can't stop kicking the Bush Administration, but the irony is that the Obama EPA
is far more "political" than the Bush team ever was.

Yet another example of the ‘research’ masquerading as science that is
used to reinforce the man-made global warming fraud. One of the
difficulties the green zealots have had is that Antarctica has been not
warming but cooling, with the extent of its ice reaching record levels.

Last week, Yugratna Srivastava, a 13-year-old Indian girl, was hired by
the United Nations to present a poem to the world's leaders and the
humanity. In the tradition of Nazi and Soviet methods of propaganda, a
kid was asked to explain that our world is gonna fry unless everyone
buys all the ideology and policies that her propagandistic employers
wanted her to disseminate.

Lord Monckton has warned the public in Europe and the United States
that the upcoming Copenhagen Summit in December this year will use
global warming hype as a pretext to lay the foundation for a one-world
unelected ‘communist-style’ government with enormous powers.

“We are meeting one month before the Climate Change Copenhagen Summit and several
weeks before the U.S. Senate hearing regarding
the cap-and-trade scheme. For these reasons,
today’s meeting can’t be an academic
conference, even though the topic still needs
academic discussion. There is no consensus –
neither in science, nor in economic analysis or
politics."

Policymakers need to know whether prediction is possible and, if so, whether any proposed forecasting method will
provide forecasts that are substantially more accurate than those from the relevant benchmark method. An inspection of global
temperature data suggests that temperature is subject to irregular variations on all relevant time scales, and that variations during
the late 1900s were not unusual.

A well-accepted aphorism about science, in the context of difference of
opinion between two points of view, is “Madam, you are entitled to your
own interpretation, but not to your own facts”.
The world stoker of the fires of global warming alarmism, the United
Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), cleverly
suborns this dictum in two ways.

Dear Administrator Jackson:
I write in regard to the Proposed Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, Proposed Rule, 74 Fed. Reg. 18,886 (Apr. 24, 2009), the so-called “Endangerment Finding.”
It has been often said that the “science is settled” on the issue of CO2 and climate. Let me put this claim to rest with a simple one-letter proof that it is false.

We can only hope that world leaders will do nothing more than enjoy a pleasant bicycle ride around the charming streets of Copenhagen come December. For if they actually manage to wring out an agreement based on the current draft text of the Copenhagen climate-change treaty, the world is in for some nasty surprises.

As a business owner, tax payer and elected official, I freely admit that I am VERY skeptical when the government warns me about anything. Government typically causes more problems than they solve, and it’s in their own best interests (power, taxes, etc) to have a crisis du jour and keep people alarmed and afraid. Fearful people are much more malleable.
Case in point, Globull Warming / Climate Change is the biggest scam of all time and is nothing more than a thinly veiled guise to prey on the fears of the ignorant to raise our taxes and erode our freedom and sovereignty! But don’t take my word for it.

SECRETARY CHU’S senate testimony is predicated upon two false assumptions: that the “threat” from “climate change” is “grave”; and that, even if it were grave, reducing carbon emissions would make a difference. He cites the now-outdated 2007 Climate Assessment Report of the IPCC and a subsequent but also now-outdated MIT study, saying global warming by 2100 would be 7-11 Fº. These excessive estimates are founded solely on computerized guesswork.

Halloween just got scarier – much scarier.
I'm not talking about a new Hollywood slasher film or a new line of grotesque costumes, but a possible political nightmare scenario in which the White House could be positioned to sell out U.S. sovereignty, shred the Constitution and leave you and yours to the whims of foreign powers.
