And we were told the “science is settled” and that only cranks and wack0s disputed global warming.
Kimberley A. Strassel rattles off an exception or two, or several thousand, to that convenient “truth” in her Wall Street Journal column:
-
Debate’s roaring on whether global warmign is or isn’t in Australia, Europe, Japan and even the U.S. of A.
-
The Polish Academy of Sciences has challenged man-made global warming. Perhaps because in the Czech Republic only 11% of the population believes humans play a role.
-
In France, Claude Allegre is in line to be the new ministry of industry and innovation. Twenty years ago he was a global warming hawk. Today he has “recanted.”
-
In New Zealand a new government suspended the cap-and-trade program.
Says Ms. Strassel, “The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling.”
More than 700 scientists have gone on record disagreeing with the U.N., which is a tidy 13 times as many who authored the U.N.’s 2007 climate summary.
Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report says manmade warming is “the worst scientific scandal in history.”
And the beat goes on, and on, and on. Read her column. There’s much more. And of course, as we’ve said for years, there are many, many more than that who haven’t partaken of the Kool-Aid.

He keeps saying the same things, over and over again, because if he stops saying them reality might seep in.
Go ahead, humans,keep pouring your chemicals into the atmosphere and the oceans and on the land. Maybe the planet can absorb them and maybe it can’t . Seems like common sense to keep your home clean but apparently these people want to gamble. Hope they are prepared for the consequences if they are wrong.
Nobody is suggesting we “pour chemicals” into the atmosphere (that’s just a red herring). The issue at hand is why the mainstream media and Obamaphiles deny that there is considerable scientific debate about climate change (formerly known as global warming, but we’re cooling for the last 10+ years). As such, your government plans to enact draconian measures aimed at preventing more climate change, but in reality we have no consensus as to what effect our activities are having on the climate.
Even the EPA is trying to carry the water for Obama and shove junk science down our throats:

Just a thought: What human activities created the last ice age? I would label that significant climate change which occurred before we began “pouring” chemicals into the atmosphere.
Ok, did a quick lookup, more than 700 scientist have gone on record disagreeing with the UN. Nothing is mentioned that these scientist work with climate. So how many scientist are employed in the United States total. Over 2100000. And they could only get 700 to go on record against! That is 1 in 3000.
I work in PR, and that is what this article is.
