A divided UN conference recognizes climate deal
Global Warming on Free Republic

A few years ago, I accepted global warming theory with few doubts. I wrote several columns for this paper condemning what I thought were unfair attacks by skeptics and defending the climate scientists.
Boy, was I naive.
Since the Climategate emails and documents revealed active collusion to thwart skeptics and even outright fraud, I’ve been trying to correct the record of my earlier foolishness. In one of those columns, I even wrote: “And see Real Climate (www.realclimate.org) for global warming science without the political spin.”
In fact, Real Climate was and is nothing more than the house organ of global warming activists, concerned more with politics than with science.
My mistake was assuming only the purest of motives of the global warming alarmists, while assuming the worst of the skeptics. In fact, the soi-disant moralists of the global warming movement can also exploit their agenda for profit.
Climategate jolted me into confronting the massive fraud and deception by top global warming scientists, who were in a position to twist the peer-review process in their favor, and did so shamelessly.

PBS Ombudsman Agrees NewsHour Slighted ‘Fascinating’ Climategate E-Mails
Just unreal....thanks!
Just curious ... how are nitrous oxide and CFC’s produced naturally in such large amounts?
I'm glad to see SOME are coming out of their coma.....
.....now if we can get them to connect the dots between the AGW fraud and Obama's insistence on continuing "full speed ahead"!
I think a lot of these people are going to wake up, but it will be way-too-late.

Nitrous oxide is a naturally occurring gas (I think), CFC’s are lumped together with other miscellaneous gases.
I have a feeling we shall see many like articles in the months to come from American newspapers. The tens of thousands of papers that have no fingers in the pie, still just try to report news, and not manufacture it on the fly.
One down, 8,000 to go? It's a start.
Ahnold is a good example of what destruction ‘roids cause to a brain.
Wouldn’t it be refreshing to see a mea culpa column from Mark Walker?
Good point. More people need to be seeking information on the net. TV and the newspaper just don’t cut it.
Neither are natural. CFC’s were banned in the US, but are still used widely in other countries. There was an admission a year or two ago that the formula used to prove CFC’s were prominent in the ozone depletion scam vastly over-emphasized their contribution. Oops! I don’t remember who it was, but I believe it was Swedish (some freeper will remember). If CFC’s were so bad, why did they stop pushing the ban after the US banned them? Follow the money. I tried to Google this, but they are squashing inquiries (talk about censorship)!

The 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1995/press.html that was awarded for a theory about how Freon could catalyze the breakdown of ozone in the upper atmosphere.
I had figured that CFC ozone reaction had never been proven experimentally. This would make this the first hard science Nobel Prize awarded for an unproven theory. Now, it will be interesting to see what happens now that the theory has been disproved experimentally.
DuPont came out of this pretty well. In the late 90’s the patents they held for the manufacturing of Freon were expiring. McDonald’s, the biggest consumer of Freon for foam burger pods, had switched to paper. The Montreal protocol banned Freon worldwide. This allowed DuPont to have a new monopoly for Freon replacements. The most efficient new CFC refrigerant is about 10% less efficient than Freon. This means we are burning an extra 10% of our energy to run refrigerators and air conditioners. I think this is an example of a corporation using the environmental movement and governments to secure a monopoly.
