THE SLOW, CERTAIN DEATH OF THE GLOBAL WARMING THEORY
By Alan Caruba
ENVIRONMENTALISM, GLOBAL WARMING THEORY, & THE GLOBAL COOLING CYCLE THAT BEGAN ABOUT A DECADE AGO:
EVIDENCE OF A TEN-YEAR, NATURAL COOLING OF THE EARTH REFUTING THE THEORY OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL
WARMING & THEREBY KNOCKING THE IDEOLOGICAL PROPS OUT FROM UNDER THE ENVIRONMENTALIST MOVEMENT & ITS
PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA
FULL STORY:
I have been predicting the death of the global warming theory since late in the last decade, when it became obvious that the
Earth had entered into a cooling cycle. By 2009, the leak of thousands of emails between the “scientists” whose computer
models the claims were based upon revealed they were in a state of panic regarding this obvious phenomenon.
Employed by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control (IPCC), those “scientists” have since been
protected by the universities who benefited greatly from the huge grants of public funding they received. The issue of
whether such men should be prosecuted for deceiving the entire world remains to be decided.
The lead player, Dr. James Hansen, still on the payroll of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, is the man who told
the U.S. Congress in 1988 that global warming threatened mankind and the Earth. He has since switched to lying about coal
and oil, two of the fossil fuels on which the economies of all nations depend, claiming they are deadly pollutants that must
be abandoned in favor of “clean energy,” i.e., wind and solar power.
Former Vice President Al Gore, the most public face of “global warming,” has become a public joke. Recall, however, that he
received a Nobel Prize and an Oscar in addition to the millions earned from the sale of “carbon credits” to offset “greenhouse
gases.” Some exchanges devoted to these credits have closed their doors. The proposed Cap-and-Trade legislation based
on them lingers in Congress.
One need not be a climate scientist or meteorologist to conclude that humans have nothing to do with the climate or the
weather. Watching huge hurricanes wreak havoc, along with other weather-related events, should be enough for anyone to
conclude that humans do not “cause” such things.
Occam’s Razor is the ancient principle that the simplest explanation is the most likely the correct one, but billions in public
funding, taxpayer’s dollars, have been diverted to the “research” that corrupt scientists have used to justify the global
warming fraud.
MIT Professor, Dr. Richard Lindzen, an internationally recognized authority on atmospheric science, said, "Future
generations will wonder in bemused amazement that the early Twenty-first Century's developed world went into hysterical
panic over a globally averaged temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of
highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll-back
of the industrial age."
We owe a huge debt of gratitude to those courageous scientists that stood their ground against the global warming fraud.
Recently, the Heartland Institute, in concert with the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change, and the
Science and Environmental Policy Project, published Climate Change Reconsidered: 2011 Interim Report. It is 430
pages co-authored by Dr. Craig D. Idso, Dr. Robert M. Carter and Dr. S. Fred Singer, all of whom have been among the
scientists repeatedly slandered as “global warming deniers” and “skeptics” for their efforts to educate the public.
The report, in careful documented, scientific language identifies the way the warmist’s computer models over-estimated the
amount of warming, ignored the fact that increased carbon dioxide benefits plant growth, that there is less melting in the
Arctic and Antarctic and on mountain tops than claimed, and that there is no sign of acceleration of sea-level rise in recent
decades.
A recent Rasmussen survey indicates that upwards of 60% of Americans have concluded that humans have nothing to do
with “global warming” or any other aspect of the climate. This is extraordinary when one considers how the mainstream
media, the curricula in the nation’s schools, and the unceasing efforts of major environmental organizations have tried to
impose the global warming claims on the public.
In a similar fashion, “The Other Climate Theory” by Anne Jolis, an editorial page writer for the Wall Street Journal
Europe, describes how a project of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has put what may well be
the final nail in the global warming coffin. The work of physicists using particle beam technology, CERN confirmed that the
Sun’s cosmic rays enhanced cloud formation. The IPCC’s 2007 report had peremptorily dismissed this possibility, but then
the IPCC’s reports have been the basis for the global warming fraud, asserting a “consensus” among scientists that never
existed.
Thus, the scientific method of describing a phenomenon, formulating a hypothesis to explain it and performing tests to
confirm or reject a hypothesis, has once again demonstrated that “global warming” is just so much hot air.
This has not stopped the Environmental Protection Agency from doing everything in its power to destroy the energy
sector of the nation, an endeavor based, in part, on the global warming fraud.
Universities across America have entire departments and units devoted to keeping the global warming fraud alive. The
mainstream press is heavily invested in it. Schools continue to frighten children with its claims. All this and other efforts
will fail because science — real science — does not support it.
