I can no longer sit by and let the global warming fanatics hijack science. Al Gore has found a cause to pursue and he is not going to take no for an answer. According to an article posted in the Telegraph, scientists have actually been threatened for their opposing views about global warming.

“Richard Lindzen, the professor of Atmospheric Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology … recently claimed: ‘Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labelled as industry stooges.’

‘Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science.’”

It is interesting that there no longer exists a debate within science. Global warming fanatics simply want the other side to disappear. I found this quote by Thomas Sowell particularly enlightening:

“Would you bet your paycheck on a weather forecast for tomorrow? If not, then why should this country bet billions on global warming predictions that have even less foundation?”

Most of the people I know don’t even understand global warming. CO2 is seen as the enemy, when in fact 99% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is natural. Without CO2, there would be no greenhouse effect. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth’s temperature would be 0 F. It was that long ago in geological time (21,000 years ago) that New York was covered with glaciers. Those are all gone now. Global warming?
