Correction Mar. 7, 2007: to a post from February, Frost Hits the Rhubarb Feb. 10, 2007: Global Warming

I corrected a date: A reference to FHTR May 18, 2006 should have been May 28, 2006 and I added search terms. Earlier I had corrected the header date from Feb. 19 to Feb. 10, 2007. My typing, again. Sorry.

Global warming

Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide
Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts? , By Timothy Ball, February 5, 2007

Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening. Here is why.

What would happen if tomorrow we were told that, after all, the Earth is flat? It would probably be the most important piece of news in the media and would generate a lot of debate. So why is it that when scientists who have studied the Global Warming phenomenon for years say that humans are not the cause nobody listens? Why does no one acknowledge that the Emperor has no clothes on? [....]

Make a wild guess about who would lose.


UN IPCC Summary - Climate Change

A prospectus for big government , Lorne Gunter, National Post, February 05, 2007 -- Lgunter@shaw.ca

[....] In effect, the IPCC summary is a prospectus for big government written by big government's sales department.

And don't expect the full truth to come out even when the 1,600 pages of science are finally released. The IPCC has a habit of censuring the work of scientists who disagree with the global alarmist orthodoxy. It has also instructed scientists still working on their academic contributions to the final report that those contributions must be modified after publication of the summary so as to "ensure consistency with" the summary's conclusions.

It is the political tail wagging the scientific dog. [....]

SEPP News Release: More Than 15,000 Scientists [two-thirds with advanced academic degrees] Protest Kyoto Accord; Speak Out Against Global Warming Myth -- signed "a Petition against the climate accord concluded in Kyoto (Japan) in December 1997.

This is no longer available online but, my post has a lengthy excerpt. See below for the link -- Frost Hits the Rhubarb week of May 28, 2006.

... More than 15,000 scientists, [8/4/98: now about 17,000] two-thirds with advanced academic degrees, have now signed a Petition against the climate accord concluded in Kyoto (Japan) in December 1997.[....]

Dr. S. Fred Singer, president of The Science & Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) and author of Hot Talk, Cold Science: Global Warming's Unfinished Debate, explained: "Scientists are understandably upset when they see $2 billion per year devoted to research on climate change, much it irrelevant and concerned only with imaginary consequences of a hypothetical warming -- while other fields of science are starved. They are also appalled and angry that an increasing fraction of this research money is diverted into "community workshops," thinly disguised brainwashing exercises to create public fears about climate catastrophes."

That connects to what I have written on the natives' spokesperson, at least the one brought out more than once by CBC TV and mentioned in various news items elsewhere as a native with aboriginal traditional knowledge of the environment in the North, Sheila Watt-Cloutier. There is a connection between the talk of global warming, the natives, trusts, nuclear waste ... who knows what else was planned?
