So while Copenhagen airport expects up to 140 extra private jets during the Climate Change summit, everyone else in the eye of the global warming storm is circling their solar-powered wagons.
Predictably, New York Times says those Climategate emails reveal nothing more than the pettiness of a few scientists – and in no way undermines global warming science. Meanwhile, The Environmental Protection Agency has announced that greenhouse gases are endangering people’s health, making way for the Obama administration to enact regulation without congressional action. And no surprise, both Robert Gibbs and the chair of the IPCC dismissed the Climategate scandal as no big deal.
Oh look – Here’s some tape of all delegates arriving.
Oh, how the planet weeps!
But sadly, what were seeing now with Climategate is not an anomaly, as the Times wants you to believe, but the opposite of an anomaly (a promonaly, if you will). Fact is, those emails were all about suppression- and suppression has been the bedrock of global warming science since day one.
So, let’s start with the basics: greenhouse gases. CO2 is one of them, and activists like to tell us than man-made driven CO2 is what’s causing global warming. However, of all the CO2 entering our atmosphere every year, only 3 percent or so comes from evil humans. The rest comes from Satan’s triad: oceans, animals and plant life. Why does no one beyond “Scared to Death” authors Christopher Booker and Richard North point this out? Well, you can’t say that humanity is destroying the planet, once you realize man’s impact is negligible.
Big Green also likes to talk about consensus. Well let’s talk about consensus – like the Gallup poll of climate scientists showing that nearly 50 percent had rejected man-caused global warming. Or how about the first assessment report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change? They even suggested that the temperature changes of the last century could all be due to “natural variation.” However, according to Booker and North, the summarizers ignored the report’s uncertainty, and instead predicted substantial warming. And look up the infamous Hockey Stick graph – which eliminated real global warming from ages ago, in order to make it look like the climate’s getting way hotter now. That’s how you get consensus: through suppression.
And then there’s Al Gore. When one of his beloved professors published a paper saying global warming science was uncertain, Gore made the man’s sanity an issue. He also tried to pressure Ted Koppel into linking political and economic forces to anti-global warming factions. And of course, there’s his movie, which exaggerated faulty data until it became utterly laughable.
Just like his poetry. Take a look. It’s from his new book, “Our Choice.”
One thin September soon
A floating continent disappears
In midnight sun
Vapors rise as
Fever settles on an acid sea
Vanity Fair calls that “equal parts beautiful, evocative and disturbing.”
I call it equal parts barf, barf and barf.
And now the EPA declares global warming a health issue – the last refuge of a scare-mongering scoundrel. If you can’t get the world to pay up by showing them pictures of drowning polar bears – tell them your kids will die through vector-borne diseases. It’s all crap, but it’s dangerous crap – designed to turn sloppy science into a deadly, hysteric scare.
But what’s the biggest fraud of all? It’s the marginalization of anyone who stands in the way of Big Globe. Never before has a defense of science been so mocked and ridiculed – all in the name of science. Even if you don’t question the hypothesis, but question the methods, you’re a heretic. If you even don’t question the methods, but question the policy, you’re a monster. And even if you don’t question the policy, but question the hysteria, you’re a murderer.
The fact is, for the media and our administration – global warming ideology is too big to fail, because that failure is their failure. You kill global warming, you kill their god – and if you do that – then where in the world will they be?
Rediscovering global cooling, probably.
[NOTE: Thanks to Felix Dennis, who sent me the book “Scared to Death, by Christopher Booker and Richard North, which i devoured this weekend, and pulled from it the older examples of suppression I mentioned above. Everyone should get this book! And a scarf (it’s friggen cold out there today).]
