The Sky Isn't Falling

A tip of the hat to Randy from the next cubicle over for sending me the link to The Minority Report of the U.S. Committee on Environment and Public Works. The text at the link can be a little difficult to read. At times it takes on the almost breathless excitement of TV pitchman selling Ginsu knives. They stop just short of "But wait, there's more."

I have not even begun to follow the multitude of links they provide. There are after all a limited number of hours in a day. But it is well worth reading and following the links you find of interest.

Here's a sample to whet your appetite:

POZNAN, Poland - The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.

The U.S. Senate report is the latest evidence of the growing groundswell of scientific opposition rising to challenge the UN and Gore. Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists. The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists' equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices and views of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears.

And in fact there is a "Link to Full Printable 255-Page PDF Report."

The committee also highlights numerous quotes from scientists who don't believe the hype of global warming. My favorites:

“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.

“CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another….Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so…Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver’s seat and developing nations walking barefoot.” - Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.

“The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.” - Award-winning Paleontologist Dr. Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of La Plata.

The introduction to the report concludes:

While the scientists contained in this report hold a diverse range of views, they generally rally around several key points. 1) The Earth is currently well within natural climate variability. 2) Almost all climate fear is generated by unproven computer model predictions. 3) An abundance of peer-reviewed studies continue to debunk rising CO2 fears and, 4) "Consensus" has been manufactured for political, not scientific purposes.

I think it was only a matter of time before actual science caught up with and surpassed the hype and pseudo-religion of global warming. I wish it could have happened sooner, but better late than never.

1 Excellent post Steve (and Randy)!

2 The EPA is one of the most important tools being used to destroy America from within. It relies on fear rather than facts to sway political tides in favor of socialistic agendas which will kill off private ownership and initiative. It has worked so well, why would they want to change?
