'I Feel Duped on Climate Change'
Der Spiegal ^ | Feb 8, 2012

Posted on 02/09/2012 10:05:31 AM PST by frank46

Fritz Vahrenholt claims in a new book. In an interview with SPIEGEL, he argues that the official United Nations forecasts on the severity of climate change are overstated and supported by weak science. (An orginal signature on Global Warming at the UN)

“The climate debate also has some of the trappings of an inquisition. I’m curious to see which truth ministry will now initiate proceedings against me. “

From the Der Spiegel interview.

All anybody has to do is look at the real evidence.

From the article:

Instead, says Marotzke, there could also be phases of stagnation and even minor declines in temperature. "This has exposed us to potential criticism," he says.
Decades of cooler, decades of warmer, decades of both warmer and cooler. It happens. It's not anthropomorphic (man caused).

Some people take longer than others to figure out they’ve been duped. One down, a few billion to go when it comes to the duped wising up to the global warming scam.

“Some people take longer than others to figure out they’ve been duped. ... “

And some never will.

I was looking at a mailer from Ford last night. They are pimping electric cars big time. And why not? Base gasoline powered Focus - $17k. Base electric Focus - $39k.

Ford is all in, because there are stupid people willing to shell out big bucks to feel good about themselves.

The reality is, going green usually isn’t green at all, except for the seller. A hybrid or electric car has a bigger carbon footprint than a gasoline powered car. And the TCO is much higher for a hybrid/electric.

Gee didn't climate guru Prince Charles warn that we were at a tipping point of irreversible global warming? Now Europe is in one of the coldest winters on record with even the Danube freezing. I hope Charles is shivering in his castle.

Glad you *finally* figured it out.

Most people are duped because they want to be duped. I suspect that applies to you. The evidence regarding this hoax has been out there for a long time.

It is a race to see which pejorative will doom us first:

Denier!

Infidel!

Homophobe!

Mean-Spirited!

Bitter Bible & Gun Clinger.

The list goes on

Between the AGW Doomers, and the AGW Deniers, there are those that are somewhere in the middle, like Lomborg and this guy. I'm probably somewhere there too, but even a stronger skeptic than those.

I admire the way he looks at things, and the "moderate" (I know, a bad word in political circles) way he thinks. Climate Science could use more of this guys attitude.

Ted Danson’s 1989 utterance of “We only have ten years to save the planet” still holds the all-time dupe record.
