The Great Global Warming Swindle
National Center for Policy Analysis ^ | March 20, 2007

Posted on 03/20/2007 9:39:53 AM PDT by InvisibleChurch

Al Gore\'s movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," has met its match: a devastating documentary based on sound science by recording the statements of real climate scientists, says S. Fred Singer, professor emeritus of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia and adjunct scholar at the National Center for Policy Analysis.

The scientific arguments presented in, "The Great Global Warming Swindle," can be stated quite briefly, says Singer:

Observations in ice cores show that temperature increases have preceded -- not resulted from -- increases in CO2, by hundreds of years, suggesting that the warming of the oceans is an important source of the rise in atmospheric CO2. As the dominant greenhouse gas, water vapor is far, far more important than CO2, yet not well handled by climate models -- and, in any case, not within our control. Greenhouse models also cannot account for the observed cooling of much of the past century (1940-75), nor for the observed patterns of warming -- what we call the "fingerprints." The best evidence we have supports natural causes -- part of a natural cycle of climate warming and cooling that\'s been traced back almost a million years -- leaving little we can do about it. Climate mitigation schemes will not do any good; they are all irrelevant, useless and wildly expensive, says Singer.

Ultimately, we should not devote our scarce resources to what is essentially a non-problem, says Singer, while ignoring the real problems the world faces: hunger, disease and denial of human rights, in favor of politically fashionable issues.

By their own admission, it would take 1000 yrs for the earth's temperature to rise 1 degree.

Run ...the sky is falling.

Aw shucks.......you mean Al Gore is wrong? That's impossible....he invented the internet and is so smart. Maybe he just thinks he can control the sun and is trying to help out. That's it, he just wants to help with taking our money.

You can find the documentary on google video. It's really good and debunks all global warming claims.

It was produced by Britian's Channel 4. Since the British had always been super believers in man-made global warming, if the British start becoming skeptical, then maybe this farce will finally end. (until the next farce.)

It can't be! Gore film won an Oscar, therefore, it must be true.

I have to agree with Glenn Beck on this - Global Warming should be attributed to the raising of the average height of people by 2 inches over the past century.

We're getting closer to the sun.

This is so much bull. The Oscar award blew my lunch and my mind.

It's all about Al.

Absolutely...... However, "scientific consensus" is not "scientific fact". Oh woe is Gorebal warming.
