The heresy


When the "official numbers" don't even remotely support the case anymore
I don't want to spend much time on the latest global warming news.

In a nutshell, NASA goofed with their database and 1998 is now only the second "hottest" year on record. There are a couple of things you should remember. First, the "record" only goes back to 1880, and isn't all that reliable before weather satellites. Second, many weather stations are in heavily urbanized areas which register higher-than-normal temperatures.

This means that there is no global warming trend. And that means that the only reasons for regulating carbon emissions are really intended for political and economic control.

There is no evidence for human caused global warming. No evidence.

And that means that Newsweek picked the wrong time to publish this article. Most of it you have seen before, but pay attention to this bit. Emphasis added.

Since the late 1980s, this well-coordinated, well-funded campaign by contrarian scientists, free-market think tanks and industry has created a paralyzing fog of doubt around climate change. Through advertisements, op-eds, lobbying and media attention, greenhouse doubters (they hate being called deniers) argued first that the world is not warming; measurements indicating otherwise are flawed, they said. Then they claimed that any warming is natural, not caused by human activities. Now they contend that the looming warming will be minuscule and harmless. "They patterned what they did after the tobacco industry," says former senator Tim Wirth, who spearheaded environmental issues as an under secretary of State in the Clinton administration. "Both figured, sow enough doubt, call the science uncertain and in dispute. That's had a huge impact on both the public and Congress."

Get that? In one paragraph, the article not only admits that the whole global warming agenda is blatantly against the free market (or at least against free market think tanks) but demonizes any dissent without considering the arguments. Al Gore goes one better here.

Research aimed at disputing the scientific consensus on global warming is part of a huge public misinformation campaign funded by some of the world's largest carbon polluters, former Vice President Al Gore said Tuesday.

"There has been an organized campaign, financed to the tune of about $10 million a year from some of the largest carbon polluters, to create the impression that there is disagreement in the scientific community," Gore said at a forum in Singapore. "In actuality, there is very little disagreement."

Ten million is a drop in the bucket. Ten million wouldn't even cover the production costs of Gore's recent Live Earth fiasco. And that was for ONE event.

It makes you wonder why they are so afraid that anyone may dispute their facts. Some estimates are that the global warming apologists outspend the skeptics by about 1000:1 ratio.

So what is going on?

Look at Al Gore's article again carefully. With the exception of the $10 million, everything that the global warming skeptics are accused of is actually being done by the global warming apologists. It's not about saving the planet, it never was.

It's about demanding that you give up control of your life for a myth.
