THE NEW RELIGION OF GLOBAL WARMING
By Tom DeWeese
THE NEW-AGE RELIGION & PSUEDO-SCIENCE WHICH CONSTITURE THE IDEOLOGICAL CORE OF RADICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM
& GLOBAL WARMING THEORY: THE POLITICAL IDEOLOGY WHICH FORMS THE RATIONALE FOR THE KYOTO CLIMATE
CHANGE TREATY & WHOSE LEADING ADHERENTS SEEK TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH FROM AMERICA & THE OTHER FREE &
PROSPEROUS, ECONOMICALLY DEVELOPED NATIONS TO OPPRESSED, BACKWARD, IMPOVERISHED NATIONS RULED BY
DICTATORS & OLIGARCHS WHO CONDEMN THEIR PEOPLES TO POVERTY BY REFUSING TO ALLOW THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CREATE THEIR OWN WEALTH THROUGH INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE & FREE MARKETS
FULL STORY:
The United Nations finally got what it wanted. The Kyoto Climate Change Protocol became international law last month on
Wednesday, February 16, 2005. The treaty went into full effect with the approval by the Russian Federation, even without the
support of the United States of America. Time will tell if and when the treaty will begin to affect the U.S. economy. What is certain
is that truth and reason had no part in the process.
Global warming has become a new religion. No one is supposed to question whether it is a fact. I did in the December, 2004, issue
of The DeWeese Report (“There Is No Man-made Global Warming,” Volume 10, Issue 12). For my trouble I was labeled a
“moron,” a “liar;” one who wants to “blow up the world” and just plain “evil,” to name a few from a mass of mail I received.
In particular, my article stated that there is no scientific evidence to support claims of man-made global warming. I pointed out that
there is division among scientists and that there is no “consensus” among them.
I also reported that there are scientists who promote political agendas over truth to keep the grants coming in. And I said that the
UN’s 1996 report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was edited at the last minute to remove two very
important paragraphs that specifically said science showed no clear evidence of man-made climate change. Those were all facts.
Apparently, I’m a moron for reporting them because, as one letter said, “Everyone knows global warming is real.”
In response to these Luddites, I simply present this: A federal hurricane research scientist named Chris Landsea has resigned from
the UN-sponsored Climate Assessment Team because his group’s leader had politicized the process. Landsea said there was little
evidence to justify Kevin Trenberth’s assertion in October that global warming was responsible for the strong hurricanes
experienced this past year and that “the North Atlantic hurricane Season of 2004 may well be a harbinger of the future.”
Said Landsea in his resignation letter, “It is beyond me why my colleagues would utilize the media to push an unsupported agenda
that recent hurricane activity had been due to global warming. My view is that, when people identify themselves as being associated
with the IPCC and then make pronouncements far outside current scientific understandings, they will harm the credibility of climate
change science and will, in the longer term, diminish our role in public policy.”
Landsea closed his resignation letter by saying, “I personally cannot in good faith contribute to a process that I view as both being
motivated by pre-conceived agendas and being scientifically unsound.”
There you have it. Two kinds of scientists. One standing for true science based on the facts. The other pushing a political agenda
that says science be damned, our global religion is at stake.
Global Warming has become a religion that the faithful have vowed to follow no matter what the true facts may show. Global
Warming is a theory, nothing more, and large numbers of scientists around the world are beginning to question its validity. There is
no consensus of support.
< p>
The fact is the Kyoto Climate Change Protocol will have absolutely no effect on climate change, but the faithful demand that it be
implemented anyway, because “we have to do something.” In 1990, Timothy Wirth, who later became Bill Clinton’s Under Secretary
of State for Global Affairs said, “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong we will be
doing the right thing…”
Global Warming is nothing more than a euphemism for redistribution of wealth from the rich, developed nations to jealous
dictatorships whose leaders refuse to allow their citizens the right to gain their own wealth through free markets. It’s about
political redistribution from strong, independent sovereign nations into the hands of a power-hungry global elite cowering in the
United Nations. These are the same cowardly scoundrels who used to try to rule the world through global communism. Today they
pretend that the same lies have something to do with protecting the environment.
The truth is there is no man-made global warming. There’s only the scam of an empty global religion designed to condemn human
progress and sucker the feeble minded into worldwide human misery. I rest my case. Amen.
