GLOBAL WARMING: MYTHS AND REALITY

INTRODUCTION (by Dr. Wilson)
There is no theory more stupid
than the idea that human beings are ruining the earth by driving their cars
causing the earth to warm up one or two degrees over hundreds of years.
Use
your head, readers. Almost
half of our planet is frozen 6 months of the year and is a desolate wasteland,
as a result. If the earth warms up
a little, millions of people, animals and plants will benefit. It would be absolutely wonderful!
If
we could change this, we should all be driving our cars twice as much. However, according to NASA date, other
planets in our solar system are also warming up a bit, and as far as I know, they
donÕt drive cars there. So, most
likely, we cannot warm up the earth by driving our cars, flying in airplanes or
eating beef.
In
truth, the control of the climate is much more complex. It is controlled by advanced beings who move the earth a tiny bit closer to the sun or further
away from the sun if the plants and creatures on the planet need the planet
warmer or colder. That is
how climate is regulated on earth.
The
climate change crowd is made up of autocrats and dictators looking for a way to
control people and scare them. They also want to distract you from the
real environmental problems of our planet, which is mainly pollution with toxic metals, toxic chemicals and ionizing
radiation from nuclear power plants.
Please wake up!
Update: A good book was published in
2016 that refutes the idea that scientists agree on climate change. They do not agree! There is no consensus. The book is Why Scientists Disagree On Global
Warming by Craig Idso, Robert Carter and S.
Fred Singer.
__________________________
According to
militant proponents of global warming theory, the earth is on the verge of a
runaway greenhouse effect that will destroy the human race and indeed most life
on the planet unless we get rid of all the cows, cars and airplanes. The primary culprit, they claim, is
human emissions of green house gases - particularly carbon dioxide (CO2),
belching out of everything from our cars, to our factories, to our barbecue
grills. We even emit CO2 when we
breathe!
According to
this theory, increasingly presented as absolute fact, only radical reductions
in CO2 emissions can possibly save us.
According to global warming proponents, "the time for debate is
over" . . . and global warming skeptics should be Òtreated like Islamic
terroristsÓ.
Global
warming true believers also insist that an international ÒconsensusÓ of
scientists agrees with this positionÉÓthe time for debate is overÓÉ and global
warming skeptics are either industry shills, incredibly misguided, or simply
evil and should be silenced.
Thus
British foreign secretary Jack Straw has said that
Òskeptics should be treated like advocates of Islamic terror and denied access
to the media.Ó
Grist
Magazine
has called for Nuremberg-style Òwar crimeÓ trials for those who deny that human
beings are causing a global climate disaster. (Read it yourself at http://epw.senate.gov/fact.cfmparty=rep&id=264568

George
Monbiot (author of the best selling book The Age of Consent: A Manifesto for a New
World Order) wrote in the Guardian
paper that, ÒEvery time someone drowns as a result of floods in Bangladesh, an
airline executive should be dragged out of his office and drownedÓ.
GLOBAL
WARMING PROPONENTS ARE DEMANDING TOTAL CONTROL OF OUR LIVES
"The
only really good technology is no technology at all"
-
John Shuttleworth, Friends of the Earth.
To combat
global warming, militants say we must all accept drastic reductions in our
standard of living starting now, steadily increasing, year after year, until much
of industrial society is swept away. Only thus can the earth, and perhaps
mankind, be saved.
To achieve
this radical restructuring of human society, global warming proponents demand
that we give virtually unlimited power to the government to control what we
eat, how we travel, and how our industries operate, with no dissent or
resistance permitted.
Cars, jet
travel for the public, air conditioning, refrigeration, and indeed many if not
most of the conveniences of modem life will simply have to be abolished, as
quickly as politically feasible.
As one environmental activist puts it, "Everything modern has to
go!"
While
intoning these demands, often in the language of fanatical true believers, what
global warming militants seldom discuss is the real cost of their proposals -
both in terms of dollars and in terms of human lives.
Just
radically curtailing the use of refrigeration would result in millions of human
deaths from food spoilage and contamination. Restrictions on the use of cars,
airplanes and other means of transportation would wipe out much of the progress
of the last 100 years. And
drastically curtailing industrial activity would result in global depression,
disease and death.
Like it or
not, industrial society has made possible long lives and prosperity for
billions of people who otherwise would have died at a young age from poverty,
disease, and starvation.
Fortunately
for those of us who like regular meals, central heating, cars, and freedom,
virtually every claim of the global warming lobby is dead wrong, except for the
fact that the earth is warming.
But why is the earth warming and by how much?
GLOBAL
WARMING MILITANTS ARE WRONG ON JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
According to
the UN Panel on Climate Change, the earth indeed has been warming.
. . since about 1650 AD - centuries before factories belching CO2 and other
greenhouse gases even existed.
Even more important, the earth is not "the warmest it has ever
been." The same Panel
makes clear that the earth was much warmer during the Medieval Warm Period when
human agriculture flourished!
Our climate
is in fact continually changing, and the cause is not and could not be
CO2. CO2 accounts for less than 3%
of all greenhouse gases, and only 6% of atmospheric CO2 is produced by human
activity. That means that less
than 2/1,000 of all CO2 is produced by human activity.
So even if we wiped out every car, power
plant, jet liner, and human being from the face of the earth, there would be no
noticeable effect on global CO2 levels.
The most
important greenhouse gas by far is water vapor, which evaporates from oceans,
lakes and rivers. Atmospheric water vapor levels - like natural CO2 emissions from
volcanoes and animals - rises and falls with changes in solar activity.
To put it another way, the amount of CO2
in our atmosphere is the result of changes in solar activity, not the cause of
it. Climate change is natural,
continuous, and caused by changes in solar emissions. Over hundreds of
thousands of years, the earth's average surface temperature has varied within a
narrow 4-degree temperature range. That variation causes both "warm
periods," like we are now living in, and "cold periods' accompanied
by ice ages, which periodically destroy most life on earth.
More CO2
actually has a beneficent effect on the environment. As the March 2007 issue of
Civil Defense Perspectives explains, "Largely because of increased CO2,
the U.S. had nearly 200 billion cubic feet more standing timber in 1990 than in
1950."
While the
earth's current, natural warming will have some negative effects on some groups
(such as island dwellers), it will also have lots of positive effects on many
more groups, including the expansion of the growing season. Besides, there is
nothing we can do to control the solar cycle which
causes global warming.
Remember:
Our sun gives off more radiation in one second than all human activity produces
in 1,000 years!
Further,
even earth-bound natural forces are overwhelmingly more important in
determining atmospheric greenhouse gas levels than human activity. For example,
the explosion of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines on June 15, 1991, put more
greenhouse gases (including water vapor) into the atmosphere than all human
industrial activity in the preceding 78 years.
Yes, the
world has real environmental problems caused by man, including pollution of the
seas and destruction of rain forests. But the "global warming crisis"
caused by mankind is a myth.
LYING
TO YOU ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING
"We
have 25 or so years invested in the work. Why should I make the data available
to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it."
- Hockey
Stick co-creator Phil Jones, replying to an inquiring Warwick Hughes.
Because
telling the truth about global warming wouldn't further militant
environmentalists' global warming crusade, which will give them enormous power
over our lives, they often resort to distortions, misrepresentations and
outright lies.
For example,
while the UN's 1995 "Global Temperature
Chart" clearly demonstrates that the earth was much warmer than today
during the Medieval Warm Period, more recent UN temperature charts have
eliminated the Warm Period altogether.
Instead of
accurate long-term temperature information - which shows the earth periodically
warming and cooling, militant environmentalists like Al Gore offer us a
"hockey stick" graph fallaciously showing a steady rise in the
earth's temperature for 1,000 years.
These
"continuous warming" graphs contradict thoroughly documented periods
when the earth was getting cooler, including the "little Ice Age"
from 1450 to 1850, and a period of record cold from 1940 -1970.
In fact, the
1940-1970 cooling period resulted in a frenzy in which the media claimed that
human industrial activity (particularly our old friend, CO2 emissions) was
about to cause by
1995 a new ice age which would threaten
all life on earth. Popular
magazines, like Popular Science, even
featured terrifying pictures on their covers of major U.S. cities covered by
ice.
Obviously,
the environmental alarmists were completely wrong then about the impending
"global cooling crisis," just as they are wrong today about the
"global warming crisis."
In addition
to omitting periods when the earth was cooling from their charts, global
warming alarmists also omit other data, which contradicts their disaster
claims, including such information as:
á
The southern hemisphere of the earth has been generally
cooling for the past fifty years,
á
Hundreds of years of data show that temperature rises
precede increase in CO2 levels, rather than following them,
á
Ice cover at the North and South Poles is growing, which
results in more glaciers breaking away
á
Throughout the 20th century, temperatures have been rising
on other planets in our solar system - including Mars, Jupiter, Pluto, and
Triton, Neptune's largest moon where few people drive SUVs. This clearly points
to increased solar activity as the cause of global
warming on the Earth, rather than any human activity. This fact is supported by extensive NASA satellite data.
CLIMATE
IS CONTINUALLY CHANGING
"The
bad news is that the climate model on which so much effort is expended are
unreliable because they still use fudge-factors rather than physics to
represent important things like evaporation and convection, clouds and
rainfall. "
- Princeton Physicist Freeman Dyson.
The
assertion that current global warming is "historically unprecedented"
is also false. The earth's climate
is continually changing, and there were periods in the past when it was much,
much warmer than it is today.
Cycles that
drive climate change include the Earth's 100,000-year elliptical orbit around
the sun, its 41,000year axial tilt cycle, and a 1,500-year solar cycle. In the
most elliptical phase of the Earth's orbit, the sun's rays must travel 3
percent farther to reach the planet. The Earth's axial tilt ranges from 22.1 to
24.5 degrees and is currently at 23 degrees.
Climate on
earth naturally and radically changes over time. For example, during one warm
period about 50 million years ago, the Arctic had a semi-tropical climate,
similar to Florida today. The Arctic Ocean was free of ice year-round, and was
populated by alligators and turtles. We know that fact because fossil remains
of seeds, plants and animals have been found buried
deep in the Arctic.
The bottom
line: Don't worry about global warming. It is not caused by human beings or by
our CO2 emissions. The amount of warming that is occurring is normal and
modest, and does not threaten the earth or human life. The estimated one-degree
increase in the next 100 years isn't going to melt the ice caps or put London
and New York ten feet under water.
Since the
modest global warming we have been recently experiencing is in reality caused
by a 50,000-year solar cycle interacting with the primary greenhouse gas (water
vapor produced from the oceans and seas), there is nothing we can do about it
even if we wanted to.
Our sun -
which is millions of times larger than the earth - emits more energy in a
minute than all human industrial activity in history, and there is nothing we
can do to change solar activity.
Further, the
moderate global warming we have been experiencing actually benefits human,
animal and plant life by making winters more moderate, decreasing deaths from
the cold, decreasing the need for heating, and increasing the global food supply.
THE
FAKE ÒCONSENSUS" ON GLOBAL WARMING
"The
believers {in man-made global warming] are not only intolerant of dissent -
they are convinced that all skeptics must be motivated by greed or other evil
forces. "
- Owen McShane,
director, Centre for Resource Management Studies and co-founder of the New
Zealand Climate Science Coalition.
If global
warming is not man-made, not an impending disaster, and actually good for the
earth, why are so many prominent people claiming the exact opposite?
The answer is
found in three words is: first fear, then money and power. Many in the environmental movement are
fearful, terrified of our modern society that moves so quickly and changes so
rapidly. This is indeed sad to
behold. It is
encouraged, sadly, by politicians and other forces that want to control the
people of the planet.
They reward
those who promote the popular global warming disaster myth with promotions,
large grants, big book and video sales (like AI Gore's bestselling "An
Inconvenient Truth" video), and more political power. The ideology of
"impending global warming disaster" is indeed a very convenient lie
for would-be power-seekers.
Literally
billions of dollars (particularly from government and other globalist
interests) are pouring into the coffers of environmental groups, which repeat
the "global warming disaster" party line.
All of this
money has resulted in the public being constantly bombarded by ever-more shrill
forecasts of global warming doom and gloom. And it's getting worse. Schools are
now indoctrinating children as young as five about the impending "global
warming disaster." Posters in
schools warn, "Your mommy and daddy are
destroying the
planet." This just creates
more fear.
"Global
warming" has become the new, politically-correct
truth, and those who question it are increasingly denied access to the media,
refused jobs, or are stigmatized as evil "destroyers of the earth."
In fact, the
claimed "scientific consensus on global warming," is largely a
fraud. One of the largest polls of
climatologists ever conducted found that just 34.7 percent agreed with the
contention that' global warming of a degree or two by the end of the 21st
Century is caused by human industrial activity.' Thousands of other scientists disagree even with that mild
projected warming.
Skeptics
include some of the world's foremost scientists: 85 climate experts who signed
the 1995 Leipzig Declaration. . . 4,000 scientists
from around the world (including 70 Nobel laureates) who signed the Heidelberg
Appeal. . . and the 17,000 American scientists who signed the Oregon Petition
denying that human activity was the cause of global warming. You can see a complete list at http://www.sepp.org/ or http://www.globalwarming
hysteria.com/.
In any
event, scientific fact is not established by opinion polls, but by
science. The entire process of
"scientific consensus building" cited by global
warming militants is largely a fraud created by a powerful political
establishment to deceive the public and intimidate any unsympathetic
politicians and reporters.
Here, as
reported by Civil Defense Perspectives, is how the process of "consensus
building" works: "Consensus-building
is carried out by trained 'facilitators' who ask questions designed to elicit
silence or to force individuals who might be opposed to a policy to identify
themselves."
"If
the facilitator is unable to quiet his objections, the process can be delayed
until troublemakers are replaced by more cooperative individuals."
In other
words, anyone who doesn't support the "global warming doomsday"
hypothesis is simply not invited back to the next meeting, and so on, until all
opposition to the predetermined global warming claims is eliminated.
"The
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) declared that a consensus by
2,000 scientists had determined that global warming was caused by human
activity. The 'consensus' stands in public perception despite the vocal
disagreement of thousands of scientists."
"Head-to-head
debate is increasingly being characterized as 'childish' and as leading to
'gridlock.' [i.e., slowing down the global warming
gang's power grab]. It is frequently being replaced with the consensus process,
which predetermines outcomes and removes accountability to the people affected
by it." ["Consensus v. Agreement," Civil Defense Perspectives,
July 1997]
FALSE
COMPUTER MODELS: GARBAGE IN, GARBAGE OUT
"Scientist
Peter Doran confirmed in 2002 that the Antarctic has been cooling while climate
models all predict a strong warming."
- Politically Incorrect Guide to Global
Warming, p. 127.
The world's
best meteorologists using the most advanced computers cannot predict local
weather two weeks in the future.
So how can global warming proponents predict the entire world's climate
50 or 100 years in the future? The
answer is that they can't. Long-term, "global climate models" can't
predict cloud formation, evaporation of water from the oceans, the effect on
climate of particulate matter in the atmosphere, or a thousand other variables
that would have to be understood in detail - as well as the
complex interaction
between all of these factors - to predict global climate even a few months in
the future, much less 50 or 100 years in the future.
In fact,
global warming computer disaster models are self-serving games, whose
disastrous outcome is the predictable result of unproven (and often false)
assumptions about the importance of CO2 and how the earth's climate behaves.
Look at it
this way: To prove that a model of what will happen 50 years in the future is
accurate, the model would have had to be made 50 years ago, and shown to be
correct today. There are no such computer models.
Indeed, the
exact opposite is true: Computer models from the 1970s predicted that by the
year 2000, increasing CO2 would cause a new ice age.
KYOTO
PROTOCOLS: THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
"In
short, if we can rise to the challenge, the permanent abolition of the wheel
would have the marvelously synergistic effect of creating thousands of new jobs
- as blacksmiths, farriers, grooms, and so on - at
the same time as it conserved energy and saved the planet from otherwise
inevitable devastation. "
Catherine
Bennett, The Guardian (UK),
In
Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, 10,000 representatives, spectators and
journalists from dozens of nations met at a UN-led
meeting, and created a document now known as the "Kyoto Protocols,"
calling for the "rich" countries of the world to reduce their
emission of "greenhouse gases," particularly CO2.
A series of
subsequent international meetings fleshed out the details of Kyoto, cumulating
in a July 2001 conference in Bonn, Germany. To date, some 178 nations have
signed or ratified the Kyoto Protocols. President Clinton of the U.S. also
signed the Protocols. However the
U.S. Senate rejected ratification 96-0 due to Kyoto's flaws.
In the final
Kyoto document, some 39 "rich" Western nations were called upon to
reduce their emission of six greenhouse gases by the year 2012, to at least 5%
below their 1990 levels of emissions.
More importantly, these called-for reductions would mean that the 39
rich western nations would have to cut emissions by some 20% below projected
2012 levels.
The only
known way to achieve this would be by radical reductions in industrial activity
in the west, including draconian curtailment of the use of cars and airplanes,
drastic reductions in heating and air conditioning, and perhaps closing all
factories one day a week.
Such
cutbacks would almost certainly trigger a global depression that would cripple
poor countries as well as rich countries.
However, such costs are virtually never mentioned by
supporters of Kyoto. Also proposed were new global carbon taxes,
emissions permits, and enforcement through UN "monitors" and police
to be stationed in every western nation.
However even
such drastic sacrifices to "save the earth" would in reality have
little effect on greenhouse emissions or the global climate, even if militant
environmentalists are right about the effect of industrial emissions on
climate.
The reason
is that most of the world's nations - containing at least 70% of the world's
population - are not covered by the Kyoto Protocols.
That
includes billions of people in rapidly-industrializing
nations like China (1.2 billion people) and India (1.1 billion people), as well
as the nations of South America, Africa and most of Asia. These countries are
increasing their greenhouse gas emissions at record rates, yet because they are
"poor," the only way most countries would sign the Kyoto accords was
by being exempted from them!
As a result, even Kyoto's supporters
admit that even if the Kyoto Protocols were fully implemented in all 39 western
nations, at best the effect on global climate would be tiny. However, even this
result is unlikely.
The more
likely result of Kyoto would be the closing of industrial plants in the west
and the opening of new plants in nations like China, Indonesia and India, which
have far more lax environmental laws.
For example, China is powering much of its new industrial revolution
with coal-fired power plants, which emit 5-10 as much CO2 and other greenhouse
gases as do cleaner plants in the U.S. and Western Europe.
So the net
effect of Kyoto would likely be the destruction of industry in the west, while
actually increasing total global emissions of greenhouse gases.
In reality,
signatories to Kyoto have not reduced their emissions of greenhouse gases and
show little sign that they will in the future. For instance in 2003-2004, "Emissions from 40
industrial nations [including the U.S.] climbed 1.6%
overall to 17.8 billion tons of carbon dioxide - mainly from power plants,
factories and cars." (Alister Doyle, "Rich
Nations' Greenhouse Gases Up, Despite Kyoto," Environmental News Network,
9-1-06.)
However, their own lack of compliance with Kyoto has not stopped
leaders and the media in other countries from condemning the U.S and President
Bush for "not signing Kyoto."
For example,
French foreign policy expert Guillaume Parmentier
remarked: "The vast majority of Europeans would be delighted if President
Bush fails to win re-election on November 2 [2004]. European animosity toward the incumbent began with his
administration's rejection of the Kyoto Treaty."
In reality,
the Kyoto calls for reducing greenhouse gases are unrealistic and irrelevant to
climate change, since these emissions aren't causing climate change. Further, if the Kyoto Protocols could
somehow be implemented, the result would be a global economic disaster, harming
poor as well as rich nations.
In
brief, Kyoto is not only an impossible, but an
undesirable dream.
REJECT
GLOBAL WARMING TYRANNY
"You'll
find more dissent at a North Korean political rally than in this program".
-
Dave ShifflettÕs review for Bloomberg News of Tom Brokaw's "global warming" special,
July 16,2006.
The
"global warming doomsday" theory is in fact fraught with error and
bad science. It is little more than a politically-motivated power grab by
politicians and extreme environmentalists, who have benefited and will continue
to benefit by getting more money and more power to "save us" from
ourselves.
While human
industrial activity is not causing climate change, that has not stopped
money-hungry bureaucrats from proposing new carbon taxes, emissions permits,
and police power over every business - from your comer dry cleaner, to the
largest industrial plants.
The new
extreme global warming disaster agenda is in fact that old "back to the
earth" socialism, which longs for a simpler time, when the king's word was
law, people seldom ventured beyond the village in which they were born, and
heated their homes with animal dung.
To some that
sounds romantic and "eco-friendly," but for billions it would mean
poverty, slavery, disease, and premature death.
Only modem
industrial capitalism can provide affluence and freedom of choice for all, and
only the mass consumption of energy can make modem industrial capitalism
possible. By seeking to make us all feel guilty about our wealth and our
consumption of energy, the global warming doomsday lobby is actually seeking to
repeal the 20th century, and, in the process, to condemn billions to needless
suffering and death.
If
environmental extremists wish to live in 15th Century primitivism, let them
move to Somalia or Madagascar, and leave the rest of us alone.

"Don't touch your oil, don't touch your coal."
He went on
to say that you can't operate a steel plant with solar

UPDATE
– 2010. This article
is still completely relevant, except that recently thousands of emails were
leaked showing that many of the major ÒscientistsÓ promoting global warming in
fact have been faking their data, suppressing points of view that do not agree
with them, and generally fraudulently promoting the global warming, now called
Òclimate changeÓ agenda. They had
to change the name because the globe is not warming.
The real
crooks are these people, not those who question climate change and its real
agenda – total control of the population through world governance and
socialism. To find out more about
the thousands of leaked emails, try typing ÒclimategateÓ
on google or at Fox News. The other news outlets have hardly reported this very
important story that broke in November of 2009.
Update March 2019. A newer article on this subject is Climate Change.
