Why are more than 650 International Scientists disagreeing with the man-Made Global Warming Claims ?
December 10, 2008
POZNAN, Poland - The UN global warming conference currently underway in Poland is about to face a serious challenge from over 650 dissenting scientists from around the globe who are criticizing the climate claims made by the UN IPCC and former Vice President Al Gore. Set for release this week, a newly updated U.S. Senate Minority Report features the dissenting voices of over 650 international scientists, many current and former UN IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN. The report has added about 250 scientists (and growing) in 2008 to the over 400 scientists who spoke out in 2007. The over 650 dissenting scientists are more than 12 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
The U.S. Senate report is the latest evidence of the growing groundswell of scientific opposition rising to challenge the UN and Gore. Scientific meetings are now being dominated by a growing number of skeptical scientists. The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists' equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices and views of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears. [See Full report Here: & See: Skeptical scientists overwhelm conference: '2/3 of presenters and question-askers were hostile to, even dismissive of, the UN IPCC' ]
Why are these scientists disagreeing with the UN and Al Gore?
Erich M - Is that the same NASA agency that reported errors on the world wide global temperatures two months ago? Dr. Hansen Fudged his numbers not once, but twice to support the global warming argument. The mistake was discovered by independents and NASA had to revise the numbers?

"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate," the petition states. "Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth."

It's very simple:
The US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee minority with Jim Inhofe as a ranking member has been publishing pier-reviews about this issue for the last 2 years, and I've been following them very closely. Unfortunately, the Chairwoman of the Committee Senator Barbara Boxer has been ignoring them all. Why? because Barbara Boxer's best pal is Al Gore http://www.barbaraboxer.com/multimedia
At some point I hope that people will start realizing that this false theory of Man Made Global Warming was designed to create a Global CO2 tax that will not be used to repair any damage in the environment, it will only serve as extra revenue for the governments. In other words, they are trying to increase taxes without increasing riots.
They have been trying to silence those honest scientists but fortunately people are seeing that now.

This simply proves that most people believe everything the news tells them without questioning anything.
When the majority will believe idiots like Katie Couric, and Al Gore(remember...he invented the internet too)who are pushing an agenda over real scientists, and real truth, all is lost.
Greenism is a RELIGION, as it is a set of beliefs based on faith...NOT facts!
This in reality is not about being green. It is about Kyoto, which is a global tax by design to fund the New World Order. Obama has already pledged to sign us into Kyoto(as did McCain) as one of his first acts in office.
...And away we go!

Because the human experience on the planet is so short in geological time, I do not think there is indisputable evidence one way or the other. What I do think is that the human population is too large to be supported by the resources left on Earth. Good crop land and water sacristy will make the economic problems of today insignificant for your grandchildren. They will die of hunger or thirst. The only thing "under water" will be their mortgage.

When was the last time a large group of people ever agreed on every aspect of a problem? And then within disagreements there are degrees of disagreement. The fact is that the climate is changing and it's changing rapidly. Man made pollution has caused a degree of atmospheric change that's measurable and has sufficent metrics of cause and effect. The degree of man made atmospheric change isn't static either. As more and more people accumulate in the population aspect, and all of these people become consumers to one degree or another of fossil fuel energy, the total amount of pollutions will increase....and that increase brings everything closer to a tipping point. Also, scientists are always attempting to prove various studies and theories are wrong. This is called 'peer review'. There's just way too much evidence of of climate change to deny. The speed of it and all of the various causes are always open to debate, but denying that nothing has change and will not change is foolishness.

I still don't get the gist of the natural vs man made causes for global warming argument
I mean does it really make any difference what the nature ofthe cause really is ?
If it's not man -made does that then give you permission to jump up and down yelling
"Rah Rah Rah
Now I can go back to crapping where I eat and not feel any pangs of guilt" ?
Forty years ago the crew of Apollo 8 showed us the first photograph ever taken of this blue marble in black space that we all call home.
The best reason to become an environmentalist is a totally selfish one ; you want to protect the only home you have

Because they couldn't be bought.
Because they are using the scientific method, rather than starting with a conclusion and working backwards to support it with doctored computer algorithms and deliberately misleading charts.
Because they refuse to be cowed into submission by the globalists who control the banks and universities of the world.
...and there are a whole lot more than 650...

There are always going to be dissenters. There is nothing that can ever be agreed on unanimously. There were a few scientists in Idaho a few years ago doing a research project on Bigfoot.

Because man made global warming is a hoax perpetuated by the far left to destroy the greatness of America. And it's succeeding because the lazy news media swallows the junk science hook line and sinker!
