Fear-mongering and climate change: Al's big lie...


(Click the image for the video link courtesy of FoxNews)

Paul Gigot has a great Journal Editorial Report interview with MIT Professor of Meteorology, Richard Lindzen. The report is titled "Climate of Fear" and discusses the extent to which the "fact" about global warming are misunderstood and misrepresented by fear-mongers (my words) like Al Gore. If you're craving some calm, reasonable thinking on the subject of climate change, you must watch.

Here is some of Professor Lindzen's work on the subect Global Warming: The Origin and Nature of the Alleged Scientific Consensus.

Here are some of the many experts who contest Kyoto's scientific foundation.

If, on the other hand, you want hysterical doomsday theory, and more self-important, misstated propaganda from Al, then here's the trailer for "An Inconvenient Truth":




Al wants the spotlight, and the leftist-greenie-media are more than happy to give it to him. He's hurting his own cause, however, by lying about the current state of the science on this very important subject. He's not after the truth, he's on a crusade to define the truth...his truth.

The earth is in a warming trend. We get that. We need to prepare, plan, continue research, educate, etc... The thing that many people are taking issue with, or are at least sceptical about, is the notion that all scientists agree that this warming is caused by man.

They don't, and political and personal agendas need to be pushed aside before we can have an honest, thoughtful debate about how and when to deal with the problem...if it is a problem at all.

I hate to digress, but if you haven't seen this hilarious parody of Al on South Park you must find the time to check it out!

Expose the Left has it covered here:
He was also in the show later, on the “Weekend Update” segment to play a silly game of “point, counter-point” with one of the anchors. One of the anchors said that “global warming is a scientific fact”. It was quite obvious that this was a propaganda piece for his new movie on global warming.
