Mironov Tells Kyoto Experts The World Is Getting Cooler
By Simon Shuster
Staff Writer

Sergei Mironov

ST. PETERSBURG -- It was a failure from the start. Russia's biggest conference on the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to fight global warming, began with a speech from a top official who denied that global warming even exists.

"In reality, the scientific basis for the protocol is fairly weak," Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov told a crowded opening session of the two-day conference Thursday, which drew more than 200 environmental experts and carbon market participants from around the world. "In the opinion of many experts, the emission of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does not have any effect on the climate."

On this point, Mironov stands on the fringes of global scientific opinion. A growing consensus has formed among top scientists and politicians, who have been warning governments to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being spewed into the atmosphere. The Kyoto Protocol, first signed in 1997, created a system of financial incentives for doing this.

No, I haven’t confused P and dP. We do not have the accuracy of measurement to say with any assurance what the world population is. What is the accuracy? Who knows! Hard to say even that. My ballpark guess is a couple of TRillion.

Trillion? Sorry, but I’ll put my faith more in the 6 billion range, but your thoughts are note, ultimately, its at best, an educated guess.

This guy reminds me of the movie Forest Gump when Forest starts ‘runnnnhihng’ and a crowd of about 100 people follow him. Then all of a sudden he stops ‘runnnnhihng’ and they all look at each other and say ‘now what do we do!’. LOL I needed a good laugh.

What you said. Anthropogenic Global Warming is to Revelations as Darwinism is to Genesis.

“I really think this BS bubble is finally going to burst.. This insanity has gone on far too long..”

“Don’t start drawing hasty conclusions...”

The gullibility of the uninformed is just too great for this to end just yet. One might notice that even after “The Great Global Warming Swindle” and subsequent video and written illuminations of this GW farce the result was a flood of MSM and leftist counter-propoganda. They notched up the lies and whipped them into a frenzy to overcome the initial impact of these videos. And it worked very well on the world’s GW faithful. Their religion is intact, their ire is up. As is always the case, no matter how brightly the sun shines they will don dark glasses, hats and overcoats and tell us it is dark outside.

“as Darwinism is to Genesis.”

I don’t use the Bible to support my belief in Intelligent Design - although the darwinists keep telling me I’m a religious / Bible loving nut. I’m actually a scientist (and a Christian).

Gore isn’t going to like this one bit.. :)

Now we will have to make enormous sacrifices to prevent the Earth from falling into another ice age.

We are having snow in Europe and a cold wave in Argentina (well, it is winter there but it is much colder than normal).

We are not having global warming right now.

Why don’t they just call this a global tax. Extorting money from countries that do well to give to countries that do nothing. Of course, after the UN siphons off their cut. It’s just another scam.

Remember, ALGORE isn`t worried about Global Warming any more, it`s Climate Change. Explains a few more things that way.

"Can you give some examples for the regulations, suggestions, and demands that the environmentalist agencies set up?

" Response by Savage Beast: "Not without revealing more than I want to about this, Tom—or about myself"

The response is typical BS! Make an accusation and when asked to provide details they can't!

I have doubts either way, but distrust the extreme libs more. The thing I would like to see is actual statistics of CO2 released by non-human produced sources.

Considering that there’s so much funding for man-made global warming, it is undeniable that they are not to be trusted.
