The Climate Change Climate Change...

The number of skeptics, far from shrinking, is swelling. Oklahoma Sen. Jim Inhofe now counts more than 700 scientists who disagree with the U.N. -- 13 times the number who authored the U.N.'s 2007 climate summary for policymakers. Joanne Simpson, the world's first woman to receive a Ph.D. in meteorology, expressed relief upon her retirement last year that she was finally free to speak "frankly" of her nonbelief. Dr. Kiminori Itoh, a Japanese environmental physical chemist who contributed to a U.N. climate report, dubs man-made warming "the worst scientific scandal in history." Norway's Ivar Giaever, Nobel Prize winner for physics, decries it as the "new religion." A group of 54 noted physicists, led by Princeton's Will Happer, is demanding the American Physical Society revise its position that the science is settled. (Both Nature and Science magazines have refused to run the physicists' open letter.)

The collapse of the "consensus" has been driven by reality. The inconvenient truth is that the earth's temperatures have flat-lined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of C02. Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice caps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans. A global financial crisis has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies to rein in carbon.

And yet, the Pelosi's of the world refuse to see reality and are set to push a vote on a very dangerous and ill-advised "Cap and Trade" bill that will spell death to thousands of US jobs and raise taxes on each and every (tax paying) citizen of the US. And, where will jobs be lost...across the spectrum of American industry and right in the smack middle of the working-middle class that her fellow democrats try to tell everyone they are looking out for against those greedy Republicans. You go, girl!

This piece of crap legislation - Cap and Trade Bill - simply has to be defeated. It has to be...I hope some of the more thoughtful democrats will see this for what it is...the largest tax bill in the histroy for the US.

Good Grief.

Great read Rick, got to like it. This truth on global warming seems to be working its way out of the bushes. I hope this understanding gets in the US main stream media soon.

I hope this understanding gets in the US main stream media soon.

Not likely. At least not before key legislation passes, and by then it might be too late.
