Global Warming- "Wrong, Wrong, Wrong"

Before it was snails and whales that were the big preocupation of the left. They lost that battle - remember the one where the fight was about the destruction of Gaia? Now the left has adopted a new strategy - one that is difficult to follow and fight against because it is so complex. The theory for the past couple of decades is that humans are causing change in the climate. (Let's forget about that big fireball up in the sky - THE SUN). But finally people are actually starting to stand up to the nonsense and life destroying idea of "Global Warming". The following are some excerpts which were originally compiled by Robert Tracinski of The Intellectual Activist.

"As the House Energy and Commerce Committee prepares to question former Vice President Al Gore tomorrow morning about global warming, Czech President Vaclav Klaus is warning congressmen that environmental extremism is the modern equivalent of communism.

"Responding yesterday to U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, and former House Speaker Denny Hastert, R-Ill., the Czech leader said: "It becomes evident that while discussing climate we are not witnessing a clash of views about the environment, but a clash of views about human freedom."

" As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants," said Klaus, responding to questions posed by the two lawmakers. "Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism." (Read)

Martin Durkin produced an excellent documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" (view) for Daily Telegraph on March 17.

"On March 8, Channel 4 broadcast my programme. Since then, supporters of the theory of man-made global warming have published frothing criticism. I am attacked for using an "old" graph depicting temperature over the past 1,000 years. They say I should have used a "new" graph—one used by Al Gore, known as the "hockey stick," because it looks like one.

"But the hockey stick has been utterly discredited. The computer programme used to generate it was found to produce hockey-stick shapes even when fed random data (I refer readers to the work of McIntyre & McKitrick and to the Wegman Report, all available on the internet). Other than the discredited hockey stick, the graph used by us (and published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) is the standard, accepted record of temperature in this period….

"The remarkable thing is not that I was attacked. But that the attacks have been so feeble. The ice-core data was the jewel in the global-warming crown, cited again and again as evidence that carbon dioxide "drives" the earth's climate. In fact, as its advocates have been forced to admit, the ice-core data says the opposite. Temperature change always precedes changes in CO2 by several hundred years. Temperature drives CO2, not the other way round. The global-warmers do not deny this. They cannot….

"Too many journalists and scientists have built their careers on the global-warming alarm. Certain newspapers have staked their reputation on it. The death of this theory will be painful and ugly. But it will die. Because it is wrong, wrong, wrong.""

Global warming is wrong, wrong wrong - but we better get it right because if we don't we will be paying higher taxes and become poorer- all for what?
