WE'RE DOOMED. WHAT'S FOR DINNER?

THE UNITED NATIONS, POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISM, & GLOBAL WARMING THEORY: UN REPORTS SHAPED BY
POLITICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS & GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISTS -- HOW CREDIBLE ARE THE UNITED NATIONS & THE
UN'S INTERNATIONAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE? HOW RELIABLE ARE THEIR REPORTS ON CATASTROPHIC
CLIMATE CHANGE & GLOBAL WARMING? HOW VALID ARE THEIR PREDICTIONS THAT, BY 2080, THE EARTH WILL
BE SUBJECT TO CRITICAL FOOD & WATER SHORTAGES?
FULL STORY:
On Sunday, January 28, 2007, the front-page story in my daily newspaper was “A Chilling Conclusion on Global Warming.”
By Tuesday, January 30, the front page story was “Climate Study: Millions Will Go Hungry and Dry.” Soon more
revelations about a United Nations report on climate change, due in April, 2007, will be in the news, but let me tell you its
conclusion. We’re doomed.
Now, you might ask yourself, why would anyone have any confidence in a report from an international institution that
perpetrated the greatest fraud in modern history -- the "Oil-for-Food" arrangement? Or that stacked its Human Rights
Commission with representatives of the most repressive nations? Or that initiated a ban on DDT, thus leading to the
needless deaths of millions from malaria? Or that is currently dawdling around, while thousands continue to die in Darfur?
I mean, just how much credibility does the United Nations have these days? Or, for that matter, its International Panel on
Climate Change that has issued various assessments of the climate since it was created in 1988 under the aegis of the UN
Environmental Program.
Despite the Oscar statuette waiting for Al Gore’s dubious documentary, do you really want to take the word of Hollywood
celebrities, politicians, and a U.N. panel that, according to the Sunday, January 28, news story, involves a “group of 50
researchers, representing thousands more, [who] will then meet in secret to put the finishing touches on the report.”
“Meet in secret”? Excuse me, but isn’t real science about being able to actually prove one’s conclusions are accurate, as
opposed to conjuring up a scarifying report that predicts that, by 2080, millions of people will go hungry and that there will
be “critical water shortages in China and Australia, as well as parts of Europe and the United States....”
When he accepted the prestigious 2006 Craaford Prize, Wallace S. Broecker, a member of the National Academy of Sciences
and universally deemed the world’s foremost climate interpreter, said:
“My lifetime study of Earth’s climate system has humbled
me. I’m convinced that we have greatly underestimated the
complexity of this system. The importance of obscure
phenomena, ranging from those that control the size of
raindrops to those that control the amount of water
pouring into the deep sea from the shelves of the
Antarctic continent, makes reliable modeling very difficult,
if not impossible.”
Despite the endless deluge of global warming claims, there is also a mountain of climate data to dispute them. The primary
reason for disputing the claims is that they are based on computer models. These are the same computer models
meteorologists use to predict next week’s weather. How often are these predictions wrong? The answer is (a) daily, (b)
weekly, (c) frequently, or (d) all of the above.
Coming soon there will be another huge propaganda paroxysm about global warming.
Let me put your mind at ease. It is common knowledge among meteorologists that the Earth has natural cycles of warming
and cooling, and that, over the last 740,000 years there have been eight cycles, including four ice ages. Has the Earth been
warming? Yes, since the end of the last Ice Age. Is it rapidly warming now? No.
If you want to believe a bunch of guys meeting in secret to write horrible scenarios of stuff that is not going to happen, be
my guest.
What really scares me is proposed federal legislation based on the latest UN report. The damage it will do to our thriving
economy is incalculable.
