Global warming is a myth:
Of course, the warming of the Earth during the last century is
absolutely man-made if you listen to many of the devoted disciples of
global warming. However, isn't it somewhat presumptuous to assume that
humans have the power to control global climate change on Earth? Isn't
it is also presumptuous to assume that global climate change is not part
of a long term planetary cycle and that even the sun does not play a
major role? No, the true believers of man-made global warming are
devoted to a cause. Their cause is to save the planet from a global
warming holocaust in the next century brought on by the release of CO2
emissions caused by the reckless consumption of man.
While many planets in our solar system are warming without any human
intervention, the Earth has been experiencing dramatic cooling. Last
year, dramatic global cooling was measured by all four agencies that
track the Earth's temperature (the Hadley Climate Research Unit in
Britain, the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the
Christy group at the University of Alabama, and Remote Sensing Systems
Inc in California). It is now estimated that the Earth cooled by about
0.7C in 2007 which is the fastest temperature change on record. In
addition, the global cooling trend has continued into the first five
months of 2008.
Of course, faced with the current cooling trend, past climate
predictions of global warming for our immediate future are suddenly at
risk. In fact, as global temperatures fall, the 0.3°C global average
temperature rise which had been the prediction for the next decade by
the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will soon have to
be revised and explained. Already, some scientists are coming up with a
possible reason to keep the true believers faithful to the cause. It is
a sort of global warming interrupted rationalization because many
researchers now expect a "lull" for up to a decade while natural
variations in climate apparently cancel out the increases caused by
man-made greenhouse gas emissions.
So, it now could be a much colder decade ahead even as the world
continues to fight man- made global warming. Meanwhile, it will be
increasingly difficult to explain to one billion starving people across
the planet, that there is a global food shortage while nations grow corn
to use as bio fuel to counter man-made global warming, even though the
planet is in fact dramatically cooling.
However, a recent edition of Time Magazine has a recipe that may prove
helpful to avoid world starvation while saving the environment at the
same time. In another of their many stories on the environment and
society, the magazine has a feature on eating insects. A video featured
at Time.com actually shows people how to cook them.
Eating insects means the world would consume less meat. Eating less meat
would result in less carbon emissions which would result in relief from
man-made global warming. Time.com will show you how to cook beetles,
grasshoppers, silkworms, and centipedes. Of course, eating the insects
raw would use less energy and be even better for the environment.
If you want to listen to the proponents of man-made global warming, just
forget the fact that other planets in the solar system are warming
dramatically without any human inhabitants. Also, disregard the fact
that the Earth is currently experiencing a dramatic cooling trend. So,
fight to save the planet from global warming by ordering your new heavy
winter coat and continue to advocate growing corn for use as bio fuel.
To the true believers of man made climate change, the next decade may be
global warming interrupted but for the good of the planet people should
be eating raw bugs anyway. The truth is that all of this man-made global
warming hysteria continues to make very little common or economic sense
to me.
Al Gore's claim to Hollywood trophies and a Nobel Peace Prize is
entirely due to An Inconvenient Truth--conveniently, it has few truths.
Gore's biggest case to link human activity to global warming is the theory
that carbon dioxide levels are directly responsible for increases in
temperature. His graphs and animations certainly looked sharp and gave an
aura of authority. However, CO2 and rising temperatures are not related in
the fashion Gore suggests. He would have you think that temperatures rise
as a result of increased CO2 levels. Statistically, the warmer periods in
Earth's history came about 800 years before an increase in CO2; that means
CO2 levels increased after temperatures increased. In other words,
adjusting our "carbon emissions" may not affect global temperatures.
It would also be wise to look back at grade school science. We know that
plant life thrive in high CO2 environments. Increased plant life will lead
to an increase in wildlife and the problem of starving nations could be
more easily solved; the more places for agriculture, the more food we can
produce.
That is some of the science and it has been known for years. Global
warming fanatics have disregarded it and the public has blindly accepted
their false science. Why? Because we want to do what is right and
presenting global warming as a result of human activity puts the moral
responsibility in our hands. Inconveniently for the global warming fear
mongers, the war against global warming is largely immoral and chances
are, human activity is not the cause of global warming.
Amongst the most immoral propositions in the war against global warming is
the limit of carbon emissions from developing nations. People there do not
have access to electricity, clean running water, or any of the luxuries we
take for granted. Who are we in the developed world to tell these nations
that they must adhere to "green" practices when we have built our lives on
a carbon emitting system? It is immoral to forcibly keep people in poverty
because of scientific theories. We have no right as a person or as a
nation to tell any other person or nation how to live or run their own
country.
The great ethanol lie is another derivative of global warming. One third
of our corn crop in the United States this year will be consumed by
ethanol production. Sounds like a lot except it will account for 3 percent
of our total fuel usage while driving up the price of other grains and
food. This reduces the amount of food we send over to those who are
starving. And if you didn't already know, it takes more fuel to produce
and transport ethanol than ethanol can provide. A losing strategy that
only makes it harder for people to buy food, and reduces the supply of
food to the starving and needy.
This war on global warming is largely a means to steal more money from
ordinary folk. The government regulations and subsidies that have sprouted
from this war such as carbon taxes and subsidized initiatives like
corn-based ethanol are going to make us all poorer. The carbon tax is
touted as a great idea so that the evil car drivers can pay for their
crimes against the planet. The income tax was also sold to us as a means
to tax those evil rich people and the last I checked, the IRS robs all of
us every two weeks. These taxes are merely a means for one group to steal
money from another group for their own agenda. A carbon tax is not backed
by scientific fact and is going to be most destructive to regular people
who rely on their car to make a living.
Absolutely no legislation or government regulation as a result of global
warming is going to solve the "problem" or make any of us better off.
Supporting government global warming initiatives is equivalent to starving
and robbing other people. The war on drugs, the war on poverty, and the
war on anything is another way to ensure the problem will never be solved.
The war on drugs has not reduced drug use but has instead put enormous
amounts of people in jail for non-aggressive crimes and has created a
black market where the truly bad are benefiting.
If the Eco-fascists have their way not only will oil be off-limits in
North America to new drilling but nuclear power, clean burning coal plants
and other carbon based systems will be torn down. Added to this
dislocation we have the eco-fascist cult lead by all-knowing seers such as
the Useless Nations and Al Gore, screaming that we must do something now
to stop the earth from collapsing thanks to man-made global warming. The
fact that not a shred of evidence supports the idea that humans cause
global warming is hardly important to the Eco-fascist cult. It is the idea
that counts. Not only that but the immoral, bloody, dirty, degenerate and
rich West will have to transfer to the poorer nations enormous monies
under Global Warming agreements to limit CO2 and other Greenhouse gas
emissions. So shout the Eco-fascists. The costs to industry will escalate,
economic growth will contract and our society will become a whole lot
poorer to appease a small, government funded lobby group that is divorced
from reality and a threat to our own existence.
The nonsense surrounding the global warming theory is thick and dense. But
here is quick overview of why it is eco-cult garbage.
The Eco-fascist cult, lead by chief hypocrite Al Gore, believes that CO2,
water vapor and Methane emissions will cause the earth to warm. This
increased temperature will have catastrophic environmental impacts; such
as melting ice caps, rising sea levels, ecological devastation and species
reduction. Al Gore and his friends predict that without a massive
reduction of about 30 % of CO2 and Methane from human induced non-renewal
energy burning sources, the earth’s temperature will increase by 1-5
Degrees Celsius by 2100. Apparently this would cause a massive calamity.
The culprits are rich countries who burn non-renewal fossil fuels.
Developing countries including China and India are not to blame. In
addition to policies and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,
nations should use other mechanisms to meet their commitments in a
cost-effective way. Such mechanisms include international emissions
trading, the clean development mechanism and joint implementation. In
other words, don’t reduce your emissions; just pay someone else to buy
their ‘credits’.
The philosophy is badly flawed and utopian – like any fascist cult. The
science behind global warming is so bad that 18.000 Climatologists and
Scientists have signed a petition stating that it is junk science.
Politicians tell you that the scientific community is united on global
warming. It isn’t. Only 800 environmental activists and government
scientists support the idea. The idea that somehow the earth is not going
through a natural climate cycle has never been seriously refuted. Data
seems to indicate that there are regular occurrences like the little ice
age and the medieval warm period in a rough 1500 year cycle. This cycle
has repeated itself endlessly over the past 140.000 years. For example the
earth was much warmer during the Medieval Warm Period 900-1400 AD. This
warm spell ended around 1350-1400 and the temperature decreased
precipitating the ‘Little Ice Age’ [1400-1900]. IPCC models can’t explain
these temperature swings.
In the 20th century any temperature increase apparently occurred in two
phases, during 1910-1945 and from 1975-2000. The first period is
impossible to align with greenhouse emissions. The second phase can be
aligned with emissions but 25 years does not constitute a meaningful long
term trend, especially when between 1945-1975 there were rising emissions
but no corresponding increase in temperature. Dr. Tim Patterson, professor
of earth sciences at Ottawa's Carleton University, Dr. Pat Michaels,
professor of climatology at the University of Virginia, Dr. John Christy,
Professor and Director, Earth System Science Center at the University of
Alabama, and many others explain that these far more accurate and
comprehensive satellite temperature sensors reveal only a very small
temperature rise since measurements began in 1979. Dr. Christy says the
trend is about 0.07C per decade, right at the edge of statistical
significance and certainly far too small to be noticeable. As well
climatologists Marcel Fligge and Sami Solanki demonstrated in the
respected journal, Geophysical Research Letters, that the warming or
cooling of the Earth during the past four centuries closely matches
variations in the Sun's brightness.
Besides the above we have common sense. Most importantly -- Ninety five
percent of CO2 emissions come from natural sources and the earth releases
210,000 mega tons each year of CO2 gas. Only about 5 % of this comes from
industrial and human activity. Even if you wiped out the human race the
effect on CO2 emissions would be only 5 % of the total released yearly.
Why then worry about it? Then there is the catch all nature of the
Eco-fascist cult. Much like other cults – everything is attributed to the
cult of global warming. Cold winter? Damn that global warming. Hurricanes?
Blame CO2. More ice in Antarctica’s eastern fringe? – Well that is global
warming at work too.
The debate about global warming is one that will continue for many years
to come. Neither side can provide substantial evidence that fully supports
their position.
However, many scientists argue that what the Greens say about global
warming and pollution is wrong. Professor Wilfred Beckerman, a former
member of the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution, was himself an
enthusiastic environmentalist until he started examining the facts. He
told Against Nature: "Within a few months of looking at the statistical
data, I realized that most of my concerns about the environment were based
on false information and scare stories."
According to Piers Corbyn, Director of Weather Action, many scientists do
not accept the idea that pollution is causing global warming.
Environmentalists claim that world temperatures have risen one degree
Fahrenheit in the past century, but Corbyn points out that the period they
take as their starting point — around 1880 — was colder than average.
What's more, the timing of temperature changes does not appear to support
the theory of global warming. Most of the rise came before 1940 —before
human-caused emissions of 'greenhouse' gases became significant.
