It’s official: There is no global warming happening because of human activity. We aren’t causing it and we can’t do anything to stop it.
We know that now because of the information that has come to light in the past couple of weeks about the outright falsification of data by British and American scientists who did the original tree-ring research that became the basis for the whole global warming hysteria that we now know was a hoax.
Due to the leak of scores, perhaps hundreds, of incriminating emails, we now know that, in order to get the result they wanted, the scientists limited their sample to just three (count ’em: 1, 2, 3) trees. Not three regions of the world or three species of trees but three trees! That was the only way to get the evidence to read the way they wanted.
Then to avoid discovery, they covered up what they had done and eventually destroyed their research to prevent the standard peer review in which other scientists would attempt to reproduce their results.
This shows that what some people have said is true: the environmental hysteria of the past decades is nothing but a religion; a religion in which True Believers cling to their faith regardless of evidence to the contrary.
One such item of evidence is that the ice caps are melting on Mars. It shouldn’t be hard to connect the dots that if that is happening on Mars, the ice caps melting on earth is either nothing to worry about or there is nothing we can do about it.
But there is other evidence that says the ice caps are growing again and that average earth temperatures have been DECREASING for as much as 18 years. In other words, we are experiencing Global Cooling. The temperatures go up for a while, then they come down and the movement has been less than two degrees worldwide.
Also debunked has been the hockey-stick graph we’ve all seen, in which global temperatures, after being relatively even, shoot up at an alarming rate. We now know that that computer model was rigged to get that result. As all computer programmers know, GIGO.
Of course there are principled, conscientious scientists, just like there are objective, conscientious journalists, but the Global Warming hoax may have damaged science in the same way that Jason Blair and Dan Rather’s National Guard documents damaged the Main Stream Media: people may be a lot less willing to just take them at their word. How many other scientific topics are skewed by political and social prejudices? They said the science on Global Warming was decided; no more discussion needed. They say the same thing about Evolution.
Hmmm….
In the wake of Climategate, there have been calls from members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to take back the Oscar Al Gore won for his “documentary” about Global Warming, An Inconvenient Truth. Also, Gore, the Evangelist of the Church of Climate Change, has cancelled his speech at the Climate Change summit in Copenhagen which starts tomorrow.
Another result: President Obama’s Cap and Trade legislation is DOA.
