If you go with scientists, you support the truth that the solar cycle is entirely responsible for the climate cycle. There is no scientific proof that CO2 is responsible. Certainly, CO2 is a greenhouse gas, but at 400 parts per million in the atmosphere, its greenhouse contribution is minuscule. Please understand that 400 parts per million means that CO2 is only 0.04 percent of the atmosphere. Real scientists understand that. The science that you support is 30 years old, and supported only by politicians and alarmists.

I would like to mention "clean coal", once a favorite topic of mine..

The coal industry refused to do research for this back in 1990 or so, now we see that result.

But a bit of research is lingering via the green people you love to hate.

Down in Texas, at a very large power plant a test is being done which captures the CO2, captures it and makes long term storage possible.. They may indeed find a method which puts coal back in our menu of energy solutions..

But it will not be by any action of the very corporations who are now paying the price for refusing to fund this sort of research...

Did the earth lose its ability to sustain humans during the warming in 1100 B.C.; no civilization was making great strides in Egypt and Mesopotamia where mathematics, science, and the written language were being developed. Did the earth lose its ability to sustain humans during the Roman Empire in 200 A.D.; no, the Romans expanded their empire throughout most of Europe, developing culture, laws , and modern conveniences like indoor plumbing. Did the Earth lose its ability to sustain humans during the Medieval Warming in 1300; no the cold and plagues of the Dark Ages gave way to the Renaissance that gave us art, literature, and a tremendous expansion in economic development.

Glaucon, do not fear the warmth. Warmth is good, cold is bad.

Several Blatant Lies... Here Are 3 of Them

*Lie No.1: The World Is Getting Hotter . . .FAST!

You’ve heard how the earth is rapidly heating up . . . causing drought and mayhem.

For sure, the media jumps on the “global warming” story every time there is a heat wave and each time a hurricane hits the East Coast.

But how much has the world really warmed?

Well, according to NASA’s own data, the world has warmed .36 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 35 years (they started measuring the data in 1979).

I think you would agree that a .36 degree increase in temperature over the last 35 years is hardly anything to get in a panic about.

Granted, that does mean the world is warmer, right?

The problem with that argument is that we experienced the bulk of that warming between 1979 and 1998 . . . we’ve actually had temperatures DROPPING ever since!

Fact: We Haven't Seen Any 'Global Warming' for 17 Years!

The reality is this: The world is 1.08 degrees cooler than it was in 1998.

Just take a look at this chart from Remote Sensing Systems, which provides data to NASA, NOAA, and other scientific organizations.



If you’re like me, this makes a lot of sense.

We’ve had cooler summers and longer winters.

Again, take one more look at the chart above — global warming reversed its rise in 1998. In the dossier John handed me, he explains exactly why this happened . . . and what’s going to happen next.

But for now, just keep this fact in your back pocket: the case for “global warming” is dead in its tracks.

Lie No. 2: The Oceans Are Getting Warmer

“Global warming” proponents have said for a long time we’d see a heating of the oceans.

This proposition is necessary, since it means all those big chunks of ice are supposed to melt, killing off polar bears and causing states like Florida to get swallowed up by water.

In 2007, while accepting his Nobel Prize for his “global warming” initiative (and quietly pocketing millions of dollars), Al Gore made a striking prediction . . .

“The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff. It could be completely
gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.”

Fact: The North Polar Ice Cap Is Increasing in Size!


The arctic ice caps have increased in size by 43% to 63%.
It is seven years later, and recent satellite images show that not only have the icecaps not melted . . . but they’ve expanded in size by 43% to 63%.

Here’s what a Globe and Mail article had to say: “An area twice the size of Alaska — America's biggest state — was open water two years ago and is now covered in ice.”

I think we know who’s using actual science, and who’s fear-mongering their way to wealth and fame.

Since 2002, the ocean temperatures have fluctuated less than 1 degree Fahrenheit. There is no warming.

Again, there is nothing to get hysterical about here.

Lie No. 3: Scientists Agree — Humans Are Causing ‘Global Warming’ FAST!

You’ve heard for years how climate change has been caused by . . . well, you!

Al Gore and his liberal friends have stood onstage blaming you and your “gas-guzzling” car, standard four‑bedroom house, and the factory downtown.


Al Gore spreads “Global Warming” propaganda for his own profit.
Shame on you, right?

Of course, the hypocrisy of the claim is that Al Gore himself racks up annual electric and gas bills of $30,000, more than 20 times the national average.

Now, while I am all for keeping the environment clean (I recycle, drive a fuel-efficient car, and reuse materials), humans have not caused “global warming” . . . nothing can be further from the truth.

Indeed, “global warming” alarmists and their allies in the liberal media are famous for saying that scientists agree that man has caused “global warming.”

President Obama even tweeted on May 16, 2014, “97% of scientists agree: climate change is real, man-made and dangerous.” John Kerry, Al Gore, and a host of others have championed this statistic.

Shame on Them, Because That 97% Figure Is Completely Fabricated.

NOTE: I’ve shared a quick snapshot of the facts in John’s controversial 164-page document. Truth be told, John has 33 scientifically reviewed reasons that “global warming” is more than just a farce . . . it’s the product of bad, botched science. In John’s own words, the research in this document is “something you have not been allowed to hear for almost 20 years.” That is, the truth about our climate, the politicians manipulating the science, and the real key that controls our planet’s temperature — the sun.
As The Wall Street Journal reported, “The assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction.”

When further review was done, it was discovered that a mere 1% of scientists believe human activity is causing most of the climate change.

In outrage, a petition was signed by more than 31,000 scientists that states “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of . . . carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate."

Indeed, even a founding father of the man-made “global warming” theory — Claude Allegre — recently came out and renounced his position by admitting, “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”

Fact: There Has Always Been, And Always Will Be Climate Change

The reality is simply this: The climate changes over time.

When Alexander the Great was conquering Persia, climate change was a big factor. And we all learned in high school that the “little ice age” that rocked Europe killed hundreds of thousands of people from the 1600s through the 1800s. Additionally, we know about the heat wave and drought that wiped out much of America during the 1930s. Thousands of people were dislocated in search of survival.

Were those events caused by man-made “global warming”?

Of course not.

And, the reality is, most scientists who advocate “global warming” today know mankind has nothing to do with climate change.

Remember: Temperatures have only risen .36 degrees since 1979 . . . and the bulk of that happened during the 1990s! We haven’t seen any warming for the last 17 years . . . in fact we have seen a drop in temperatures.

Actually not. NOAA had land temperature data that lined up well with satellite data until recently. It would seem that too much attention was being given to the undeniable trend of stable temperatures since 1998. This just did not fit NOAA's alarmist agenda that claimed continued warming along with rising CO2 levels. So they CHANGED their data. They came up with many reasons for the revised data, claiming new parking lots, missing thermometers, etc., etc., etc. Now viola, their temperature shows continued warming. Problem is, it doesn't line up with satellite temperature data. Satellite data are consistent, no new parking lots, no forests cut down, no nothing, just consistent readings. And, stable temperatures since 1998. SOOOO, data are not always factual, especially when they are adjusted by alarmists.
