Global Warming is the concept du jour. Sometimes people ask me what I think about global warming, well, I do what everyone else does, however loathe they may be to admit it, I sift through the news until I find someone who I consider to be the most authoritative / expert / intelligent, and then I take their view until something better comes along... does it fit with my pre-defined conspiracy fueled worldview? maybe? does that make it wrong? you still can't prove a negative...

And therefore I present to you Joel Skousen's THE COMING GLOBAL WARMING DICTATORSHIP for your pleasure



THE COMING GLOBAL WARMING DICTATORSHIP

Republican Sen. John McCain ruled "the Global Warming debate is over." He was echoing the growing establishment media policy of ruling "no more debate on Global Warming." As far as the establishment is concerned, it is caused primarily by "human factors," giving the environmentalists the excuse to mandate control of energy production in the world.

All this debate is carefully orchestrated by powerful and devious forces. As CNSNews.com reports, "Scientific evidence for human-induced global warming will receive a significant boost Friday when the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) releases the summary of a key report, according to environmental activists and top Democrats in Congress.

"But wait. Some climate researchers and environmental scientists previously associated with the IPCC claim the public relations summary of the panel's fourth assessment report distorts the actual scientific findings and that the discrepancies are driven by a political agenda. Summary for Policymakers, roughly 20 pages long, is primarily the work of political appointees, not of scientists, according to Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science at MIT.

"Lindzen told Cybercast News Service the rules for the fourth assessment report specifically require changes to be made to the body that will bring it into line with the summary statement. 'If you were doing that with a business report, the federal trade commission would be down your throat,' Lindzen said. These people are openly declaring that they are going to commit scientific misconduct that will be paid for by the United Nations,' Harvard University physicist Lubos Motl wrote on his website last week. 'If they find an error in the summary, they won't fix it,' Motl said. 'Instead, they will adjust the technical report so that it looks consistent.'"

In fact, the human factors in global warming as so weak in comparison to the Sun's effects that it is never possible to ascribe the main cause to human causes. Two new books have come out which confirm Global Warming is a natural occurrence: Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years, by physicist Fred Singer and economist Dennis Avery, and The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change, by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark and former BBC science writer Nigel Calder (Icon Books). Both are due out in March.

Singer and Avery note that most of the earth's recent warming occurred before 1940, and thus before much human-emitted CO2. Moreover, physical evidence shows 600 moderate warmings in the earth's last million years. The evidence ranges from ancient Nile flood records, Chinese court documents, and Roman wine grapes to modern spectral analysis of polar ice cores, deep seabed sediments, and layered cave stalagmites. Unstoppable Global Warming shows the earth's temperatures following variations in solar intensity through centuries of sunspot records, and finds cycles of sun-linked isotopes in ice and tree rings. The book cites the work of Svensmark, who says cosmic rays vary the earth's temperatures by creating more or fewer of the low, wet clouds that cool the earth. It notes that global climate models can't accurately register cloud effects. [END]
