There Is No 'Consensus' On Global Warming
Wall Street Journal ^ | June 26, 2006 | Richard S. Lindzen

Posted on 06/26/2006 3:25:17 PM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

According to Al Gore's new film "An Inconvenient Truth," we're in for "a planetary emergency": melting ice sheets, huge increases in sea levels, more and stronger hurricanes and invasions of tropical disease, among other cataclysms -- unless we change the way we live now.

Bill Clinton has become the latest evangelist for Mr. Gore's gospel, proclaiming that current weather events show that he and Mr. Gore were right about global warming, and we are all suffering the consequences of President Bush's obtuseness on the matter. And why not? Mr. Gore assures us that "the debate in the scientific community is over."

That statement, which Mr. Gore made in an interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC, ought to have been followed by an asterisk. What exactly is this debate that Mr. Gore is referring to? Is there really a scientific community that is debating all these issues and then somehow agreeing in unison? Far from such a thing being over, it has never been clear to me what this "debate" actually is in the first place.

When the president was asked about this today, he responded that we aren't sure if global warming is created by humans or just a natural cycle of the earth.

I hope someone makes sure he knows that over 17,000 scientists have disputed Gore's movie and think that what global warming there is is just another cycle of the earth. They mentioned that 30 years ago we were supposedly going through an ice age. LOL

Article about the scientists:

NO current scientific study on global warming will pall peer review. NONE.

I don't read articles which can only be read by linking to a pay site...

Nice article.

Everyone ought to subscribe to the WSJ, IMO.

Beyond that, when a politician makes a movie, one has to think the odds are pretty good that it will be about...politics. I can imagine that is the case with the Gore movie.

Bill Clinton has become the latest evangelist for Mr. Gore's gospel, proclaiming that current weather events show that he and Mr. Gore were right about global warming, and we are all suffering the consequences of President Bush's obtuseness on the matter.

No wonder the socialist indoctrination centers (public schools) don't emphasize history. In 1997, during Clinton-Gore, the U.S. Senate voted 95-0 to not consider Kyoto - the Left's global warming Kabuki Dance. Albert, clueless to the meaning of ’95-0’ went to Kyoto anyway and signed it. Clinton didn't bother sending it to the Senate for ratification.

Then, in 2005, at the UN Climate Conference in Montreal, Clinton said President Bush was ‘Flat wrong’ for ignoring Kyoto. Guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing. Wasn't it during the Kyoto-era they blamed cow poop for the methane emissions and global warming? I'm convinced if there is global warming it is caused by the methane emissions from Democrats.

Before the next earthquake in California, I have an idea to beat the Bush-bashers to it. I propose changing the name of the San Andreas Fault.

How 'bout Bush's Fault?

Is there another way to get this article? I can get opinion journal, but I am not a subscriber to WSJ.

Apparently one must be a paid subscriber to the WSJ in order to complete the link.

Nice snippet though.
