The sky is falling, the sky is falling,! Our snow cover is melting which means the warmth of the sun will now not reflect back into the atmosphere and the heat will stay here and contribute more to GW. We are doomed!

Yes, but since Al Gore was jipped out
of his Presidency, he desperately NEEDS
this doctorship of authenticity to
add to his data re Internet Invention,
authorship of Love Story, et ad nauseum!

He notes that 30 years ago, we were being warned about global cooling by the same interests.

They were right! Just ask anyone on the East Coast!

actually, the sky IS falling. See the threads about asteroids coming our way...

"There is no meaningful correlation between CO2 levels and Earth's temperature over this [geologic] time frame. In fact, when CO2 levels were over ten times higher than they are now, about 450 million years ago, the planet was in the depths of the absolute coldest period in the last half billion years."

That's inconvenient! /s

Like that wasn't obvious. This article is ridiculously bad.

Just in case somebody wonders why:

In an excellent article published February 5 at the Canada Free Press website, Dr. Timothy Ball, a doctor of climatology and Chairman of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project, wrote that "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."

Here's some additional info on Dr. Timothy Ball:

What makes the article so bad? Do you disagree with what he writes?

The guy's a climate scientist, a doctor of climatology. He is certainly a worthy source.

[Piquaboy]

No worry bout that, the UN is going to deal with it. They are going to talk it into little bitty pieces.

What makes the article so bad? Do you disagree with what he writes?

It repeats whole-cloth a bunch of skeptical talking points that are misleading, erroneous, or both. One of the initial points is the warming on Mars and Pluto, which has nothing at all to do with variability of solar activity. There's a lot more.

I wouldn't characterize someone who has consistently presented one-sided, biased, misleading, and erroneous arguments as a "worthy source" unless it was my goal to do the same.

[TBP]

So you'd rather take the word of some phony-baloney socialist politicians and Nazified TV performers from the Weather Channel than climate scientists? OK.
