Dare attack the Eco-Movement high priests, and you may find yourself out in the cold.
Enter Dr. Will Happer: A Princeton University physicist and fellow of both the American Physical Society and the Nat’l Academy of Sciences, Dr. Happer had been Dir. of Energy Research (1990-1993) during the Clinton years until fired by Al Gore for “refusing to go along with Gore’s alarmism” about global warming. Dr. Happer asserts that “he had been told in 1993 that science was not going to intrude on policy.” He went on to point out that “fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science. The earth’s climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past.”
Continuing to scan a plethora of climate warming-related articles recently, it has become more than obvious that the man-made climate change myth is driven by ideological and political agendas, greed and power. Nothing more.
Blithely ballyhooed by the media, the man-made climate change mythology has been perpetrated by the effete liberal elites and their willing political cohorts in Washington. The short of it is that the “climate warming movement”, a religious and political movement in its own right, is probably every bit as menacing to the modern world as is Islamofascism, both being clear and present dangers to our liberty and our very way of life.
Dr. Happer joins a large number of respected scientists from around the world who are courageously countering the global warming hoax, and their ranks are growing exponentially. And while climate warming elites in America embark on what could be sweeping and costly programs to counter man-made global warming, Europe, a watershed of socialist drivel, is already backing off Kyoto and the economically debilitating cap-and-trade program as well. Will America learn from Europe’s mistakes? Right now, I’d say it’s a better than even chance it won’t. To paraphrase George Will, “The one surefire lesson of history is that we don’t ever seem to learn from it.”
No doubt, we’ve all heard that dissenting scientists around the world have been scorned, shunned, and their livelihoods often threatened for their apostasy. These folks are owed an immense debt of gratitude for bucking the opportunistic alarmists and for speaking up against global warming true-believers.
In addition to the 31,000 scientists from the Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine, about whom I wrote in a previous post, whose urgent petition to both the White House and Congress in May 2008 stated that “there is no convincing scientiific evidence that human release of CO2, methane and other greenhouse gases is causing, or will in the foreseeable future, cause, catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of Earth’s climate,” in 2007 and 2008 over 650 additional climatologists and other reputable scientists from around the world have similarly and openly debunked the myth. Among them, and some of their more revealing comments, these notables as well:
- Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize Winner for Physics: “I am a skeptic. Global warming has become a religion.
- Dr. Joanne Simpson, Atmospheric Scientist, formerly of NASA: “Since I am no longer receving funding, I can speak frankly…As a scientist, I remain skeptical of global warming.”
- Dr. Kiminori Itoh, Environmental Physical Chemist: “When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.”
- Dr. David Gee, Geologist, Uppsala University of Sweden: “For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming.”
- James A. Pedden, Atmosphereic Physicist: “Many scientists are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting climate warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.”
- Prof. Delgada Domingos, Environmental Scientist: “Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is dangerous nonsense. The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control.”
- Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, Vice-Chancellor, Institute of Science & Technology, Chubu University: “Every scientist knows that CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another, but it doesn’t pay to say so.”
- Dr. David Deming, Geophysicist & Assoc. Prof Arts & Sciences, Univ. of Oklahoma: “It is time to file this theory (global warming) in the ashbin of history. Alarmists are in denial and running for cover.”
- Dr. Bruce West,, US Army Chief Scientist: “Sun, not man, is driving climate change.”
- Dr. E. Wegman, Nat’l Academy of Sciences; Prof. H. Tenehes, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute; Dr. A Zichini, world-reknowned Physicist; Dr. Z. Jaworowski, world expert on ancient ice cores; Prof. T. V. Segalstad, University of Oslo’s Geological Museum; and Dr. Claude Allegre, US Nat’l Academy of Sciences, have all joined in “rejecting the global warming theory as scientifically unsound, implausible, fraudulent.”
And these tidbits from scientific studies:
- Europe’s cap-and-trade program has been a disaster, yet an Obama Administration seems nonetheless committed to cap-and-trade. DUH……….
- Since the release of High Priest Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth”, the earth’s temp has dropped 1/3 degree Celcius.
- If the US reduces carbon emissions by 75% by 2050, it would result in just .013 degrees Celcius of
“prevented” warming by 2050
- Without India and China participation, even if the US, Europe & Japan were to take every vehicle off the road and shut down every power plant, atmospheric CO2 would still climb from the current 35 parts per million to 450 ppm by 2070.
- Had the Lieberman-Warner cap-and-trade plan been implemented, economists determined it would cost the US economy $4-8 trillion in GNP and a net loss of 1 million jobs by 2030.
I thought Doug Giles of Townhall.com nicely summed it up this way: “The specious science of global warming establishes truth not by facts but through non-stop repetition.” Now, where have we seen that familiar strategy before? He goes on to say that “everything is being blamed on global warming from summer frost in Africa, snow storms in Las Vegas, freezing penguin chicks, poorly rising bread dough, forest fires in California, hurricanes, impoverished fashion houses and the recent economic downturn suffered by whorehouses in Beligium.” Amazing. More to the point, INSANE!
Could anything be plainer: on the matter of global warming, there is NO scientific consensus. Zilch. Zero. Nada. Thus, before our leadership commits our fast-dwindling fortunes to fighting windmills, shouldn’t the entire subject be openly, honestly and objectively debated by a transparent government commission of respected SCIENTISTS representing all points of view on the subject? Only then should we rationally contemplate draconian and intrusive spending programs to reduce our so-called “carbon footprint.” Is that really too much to ask? Unfortunately for us all, in these politically correct days of “governing by soundbites & repetition” I suspect a majority of us will blindly follow like sheep to their slaughter…

Hard to believe that it has been one year we have been at MonroeRising.com. In this year we have had many interesting posts that you would have never seen in the liberal blogs, or the local newspapers.
I have read every one of the 1002 entries in this blog (congrats to Monroerising.com) and one of my favorite posters is JDelaney. He has been driving home the fact that President Elect
