Heretics: Dissenters in the Church of Global Warming

[Kiwon]

52 vs. 400

52 scientists wrote the final U.N. report preaching that the world is coming to an end due to human activity harming the climate. The U.N., Al Gore and the media say that there is a "consensus" among scientists.

More than 400 other scientists disagree, however, and are not afraid to say so.
.................................................. ............................................

Over 400 prominent scientists from more than two dozen countries recently voiced significant objections to major aspects of the so-called "consensus" on man-made global warming.

These scientists, many of whom are current and former participants in the UN IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), criticized the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore.

There is no consensus regarding mankind's role in Global Warming

I for one am glad for global warming. Without it, this whole area of the American continent would still be buried under glacial ice, and I'll bet the Packers would have played even worse in those conditions last Sunday. Thank goodness the dinosuars drove SUVs! :P

In the Terminator movies judgement day was inevitable. But thanks to the "good" Terminator, who was sent back in time to protect John Connor, mankind was able to prolong the "beginning of the end."

The fall of mankind by the force of global warming was inevitable the very instant some capitalist in England decided to revolt against agricultural societies throughout the world, and thus, began the industrial revolution. But thanks to men like Al Gore, mankind has two CHOICES: prolong the inevitable by cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions, or speed up the inevitable by continuing to darken the lungs of mother nature.

Coolman3, how did you come to the determination that Earth's destruction by human development is inevitable?

Well...aside from Global Warming, we also have nuclear weapons. Not sure where I read it, but I think I read a theory somewhere about the destruction of mankind due to both gw and nw (time magazine?). It goes something like this: Global warming takes a toll on the earth, glaciers melt, lands are flooded, there is famine and shortage of drinkable water. as a result, the majority of the world population is whipped out, the few surviving nations compete with each other for earth's remaining natural resources (food, water, etc) through warfare, in war, nuclear weapons are used, eventually mankind suffers the same fate that the dinosaurs did: extinction.

As the universe continues to expend, human beings continue to progress. IMO, just as we are capable of destroying ourselves, we are just as capable of saving each other.

Sounds like the backstory for a sci-fi flick.

Dunno, I do know that when I was a kid, southern Wisconsin was continually buried in a foot of snow from November until April which never completely melted. I hear that's not the case anymore. I've heard that the tundra is much more tolerable than it used to be. Whether that's man-made remains to be seen, but to my mind, even if the global warming proponents are wrong, what's the harm in leaving a smaller footprint? Because if they're the ones that are right, we have a problem.

So MJZ how much in new taxes are you willing to pay and to what extent are you willing to change your current lifestyle in order to possibly create an impact on something that you probably have no connection with and really isn't the severe problem that many are predicting?

The politicians are waiting for your answer.

So which is it, destruction is inevitable or mankind has the capacity to save the human race?

You can't have it both ways.

Is it too late to blame humans for the Ice Age?

Why do we need to pay so much in new taxes? I drive a fuel efficient car, bundle my errands, don't use air conditioning, recycle all my paper and cardboard, cans, jars, etc, use the woodstove to offset the natural gas furnace and make as little trash as possible including paying attention to the packaging of the products I buy. Short of going solar (and trust me, the ex considered it), I think we're doing fairly well here and my lifestyle hasn't been compromised. There's only so much each of us can do, but it's better than throwing up our hands and jumping into the SUV for a joyride. And remember, if you're wrong...

Why do we need to pay so much in new taxes?

Because you are a citizen of the number one global villain in the world - the United States, according to the Church of Global Warming.

The "consensus" has decreed that American productivity and industry is scientifically linked to the destruction of the planet. Therefore, you must pay for your wasteful arrogance. Remember: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." (Robert Blake as "Baretta")

California has already imposed a tax related to climate change and believe me, the "true believers" in various state legislatures are just waiting for enough people to get on board so that they can enact new policies to force you to change your lifestyle via taxation in order to save mankind from oblivion.

This is why exposing this lie about a "scientific consensus" is important.

All it will take is ONE major volcanic eruption to lower global temperatures several degrees across the globe. Just because we haven't had a major volcanic event like that for several hundred years doesn't mean it isn't going to happen ever again.

The earth has regulated its temperature pretty damn well long before Al Gore and his oily hair got involved. I expect the earth will continue to do so long after Al Gore's greasy hair has been eaten by worms.

As George Carlin put it:

"The Earth doesn't need saving, the planet is fine; it's the people that are in trouble."
