More evidence for the Bob’s that he refuses to see. Silencing is going on and not open and free debate.

Excerpt 1:

And there’s a lot of confusion in this and, you know, at the heart of it, we’re talking of a few tenths of a degree change in temperature. None of it in the last eight years, by the way. . .

Excerpt 2:

Then there’s Chris Landsea, the scientist who resigned from the IPCC last year, accusing the organization of being “subverted, its neutrality lost.” “It is beyond me why my [IPCC] colleagues would utilize the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming,” wrote Landsea. “

Excerpt 3:

The alarmists want the United States to sign on to the Kyoto Protocol. This requires spending gobs of money to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But during the Clinton administration, the Senate voted 95-0 to refuse to ratify the Kyoto accord

Excerpt 4:

Others, like economist Julian Morris, suggest that spending all this money on Kyoto impoverishes the planet with very little gain.

These opinions are opinions based on the big picture. Perspectives like this are important to the debate. Climatologists are NOT unanimous in their opinion AND looking at the big picture and understanding how the economy works we can see reason why Hillary-Energy should be opposed with every fiber of our beings.

Seizing profits will make sure there are no profits to be siezed in the future. Profits help a company grow and help more people get employed. Mutual funds all over the country will be affected and the energy sector of the economy will be in ruins as there would be no incentive for ANYBODY to invest in the energy sector…… Capitalism can only work and energy companies (and their employees and research and development) can only thrive if government observes it’s role and doesn’t overreach and seize profits.

BTW, I think it’s obscene that Hillary is worth 20-50 million dollars. That’s not from being paid as a Senator. That’s from 8 million dollar advances for books. What does one person need with 8 million dollars. As Tammy Bruce said on the Laura Ingraham show today the government should seize Hillary’s money so that we can invest it into better Senators. For supposedly being the “smart” woman that Hillary is she shows absolutely NO knowledge of the fact that socialism and communism brings fewer advancements and achievements and the despiriting affect is less investment into such a losing sector (where profits are seized).

This surgeon was, fortunately, both obstinate and wealthy enough he didn’t have to go beg the powers that be for money. He setup his own ward in tents in the garden of the hospital, and performed surgeries using antiseptic conditions, and kept his patients in the tents and away from all the other patients and doctors. The result was that he had almost no post op infections, and damned few fatalities, which to most reasonable people would have indicated the truth of the germ theory. How did his peers respond? By attempting to silence him, ostracizing him, talking him down, and by even refusing to allow the hospital to keep records of how many post op infections so that there would be no “proof” ever that he was right.

Hmmmm…sounds kinda familiar doesn’t it?

Now, any scientist who dares to question the prevailing wisdom is marginalized and called a sceptic, when in fact they are simply being good scientists. This has reached frightening levels with these scientists now being called climate change denier with all the holocaust connotations of that word. The normal scientific method is effectively being thwarted.

But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening

An excerpt from his piece:
Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification.

So… for the bob’s of the world who WANT to WASTE trillions of dollars that is required for other better priorites (health, medicine, food, shelter for millions of people that need it), I’d say your perspective is off. You act like there is NO cost and dismiss assertions that an economy growing uses more and more energy. Our prosperity has enabled us to do good for the environent like cutting particulates in the air by HALF in over 30 years and yet we are made to look like a villian because we use energy. Energy is like money – neither are bad – we use energy to have a much better standard of living for our poor than the AVERAGE European. If you question that statistic I’d be glad to show you an article that compares living space and material wealth and obesity rates of people below the poverty line in America with the average European.

I’m thinking it’d save lives! As well as extend our lives 30 years we should make CO2 factories (other than our own bodies)…

It’s been (with windchill) below zero for about a week now in SE Michigan. At night it has been getting to 20 BELOW zero.

Can I have that 1 degree warm up now please?

Global Warming as half of Michigan sets their houses on fire to try and keep warm!!!

300 years more of paying taxes….

I will be able to collect SS at what…age 299 in the future?

I quit. I am going to stay home and collect welfare, its much easier to do than going out and working for 250 + years!!!

I can hardly wait!

“Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn’t exist. And I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth.”

Maybe Gore can be for the Easter Bunny before he’s against him.

I invented the Easter Bunny! Easter is really about meeee! Excelsior!

It is an interesting question, and one that’s harder to answer than than you’d think with someone like Gore, Tom TB’s original question that is. On the one hand, Gore and team have demonstrated a definite cynical and Machievellian streak for manipulating law, rules, and public opinion to enhance their own standing and power. On the other hand, Gore comes up with such idiocy as “I invented the Internet!” and “Love Story is a movie about meeee and my wife!” which points to an amazing ability for self delusion and self aggrandizement.

Probably it’s an unholy combination of the two.
