NOW:
In Depth: Climate change
An 'unequivocal' truth
Global warming is man-made — and getting worse, scientists conclude
CBC News, Feb. 2, 2007
.... but, barely a year before & prior to drinking the Goracle's kool-aid, CBC sang a completely different tune:
As you can see for yourself:
Doomsday called off (1/5)
Doomsday called off (2/5)
Doomsday called off (3/5)
Doomsday called off (4/5)
Doomsday called off (5/5)
DOOMSDAY CALLED OFF
Sunday November 27, 2005 at 7pm ET on CBC Newsworld
In this eye-opening documentary viewers will discover how the most respected researchers from all over the world explode the doom and gloom of global warming.
Humans stand accused of having set off a global climate catastrophe by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
The prophecy of doom is clear and media pass on the message uncritically.
Now serious criticism has arisen from a number of heavyweight independent scientists. They argue that most of the climatic change we have seen is due to natural variations.
They also state that if CO 2 is to play a role at all -it will be minuscule and not catastrophic!
This story presents a series of unbiased scientists as our witnesses.
We will hear their eloquent criticism of the IPCC conclusions illustrated by coverage of their research work.
PING!
bump
bump fer later
The CBC ???
"it now surely got da 'religion' !!!"
SUNSPOTS SUNSPOTS SUNPOTS, THE REST OF IT IS BULL CLINTON/
SUNSPOTS SUNSPOTS SUNSPOTS ARE ALL BUSH’S FAULT.
If it’s orbital forcing, like precession, you’d expect winters to become warmer as the cold weather shifts to spring. Nah, that would never happen!
I wonder how the CBC ran this and had Peter Suzuki at the same time?
Thanks for the correction....I’m having a D’oh seniors moment LOL
The CBC sure isn’t doing it for the ratings because they still have less than 5% of the viewership and if it wasn’t for Hockey no one would bother with them at all.
I personally have CBC on channel block out of principal.

Great Global Warming Swindle... best 73 minutes you’ll spend on the subject.
When humans can affect solar flares, volcanoes, and asteroids then I’ll believe that they can kill the planet. When humans can predict such things 100 years out, I’ll believe those 100-year warming forecasts.
Quote from the article.....
Think of the atmosphere as 100 cases of 24 one-litre bottles of water -- 2,400 litres in all.
According to the global warming theory, rising levels of human-produced carbon dioxide are trapping more of the sun's reflected heat in the atmosphere and dangerously warming the planet.
But 99 of our cases would be nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), neither of which are greenhouse gases. Only one case -- just 24 bottles out of 2,400 -- would contain greenhouse gases.
Of the bottles in the greenhouse gas case, 23 would be water vapour.
Water vapour is the most abundant greenhouse gas, yet scientists will admit they understand very little about its impact on global warming. (It may actually help cool the planet: As the earth heats up, water vapour may form into more clouds and reflect solar radiation before it reaches the surface. Maybe. We don't know.)
The very last bottle in that very last case would be carbon dioxide, one bottle out of 2,400.
Carbon dioxide makes up just 0.04% of the entire atmosphere, and most of that -- at least 95% -- is naturally occurring (decaying plants, forest fires, volcanoes, releases from the oceans).
At most, 5% of the carbon dioxide in the air comes from human sources such as power plants, cars, oilsands, etc.
So in our single bottle of carbon dioxide, just 50 ml is man-made carbon dioxide. Out of our model atmosphere of 2,400 litres of water, just about a shot glassful is carbon dioxide put their by humans. And of that miniscule amount, Canada's contribution is just 2% --about 1 ml.
If, as Mr. Dion demands, we honoured our Kyoto commitments and reduced our current CO2 emissions by one-third -- which would involve shutting down all the coal-fired power generating plants in Canada (and living with constant brownouts and blackouts); or taking all the cars or all the commercial vehicles off the roads; or shutting down the oilsands; or some combination of all these -- we would be saving one-third of 1 ml-- the tip of an eyedropper.
And somehow, that is supposed to save the planet from warming; the tip of one eyedropper out of 2,400 bottles of water.
That might be true if carbon dioxide were the most toxic substance ever discovered by man. But it is not. We each expel it every time we exhale.
I would have liked to see the costs for Kyoto added within this article. I think it would have had more impact.
