U.S. facts vs. U.N. 'science'
Washington Times ^ | 10/24/02 | Patrick J. Michaels

This is getting repetitious. Once again, the United States stands alone against a United Nations determined to impose its view of disastrous climate change. And, once again, the U.N. threatens economic annihilation if we don't go along. They call America's action "unilateralism." But let's call it by its real name: "common sense."

Imagine the U.S. suddenly (came to its senses and) dropped out of the U.N.

...

Wasn't that a nice moment?

Kyoto never was about science. It's a bunch of grad-student/bureaucrats who want money and power. Global Alarmists think they would run a world government better than the free markets and nation states.

If they are that worried about the biosphere

Africa : Wilderness : 28%
North America : Wilderness : 38%

We're doing fine.

As I have posted before and will again:

Do these scientists agree there have been several Ice Ages throughout history? Of course they must, it is irrefutable.

What caused each to end? Why global warming of course.

How many men were on earth during these warming periods? How many internal combustion engines? How many refineries, factories, coal burning power plants, automobiles, cloroflorocarbons, or any other manmade process or product? With the exception of perhaps a few stone age humans the answer is zero.

How then can man be the cause of global warming?

It's not about science. We realize society is becoming more intelligent, more than 70% owns stock, Social Security payments have yet to stop... What are the costs, the ultimate affects on business, employment, economy...? Consider all of the Leftists who still ride on Clinton's coattails, why aren't we taking advantage of our common sense nation and using this against both Clinton and his party?

Exactly correct. If the global warming computer models are accurate, they should be able to go back in time as well as forward in time.

I want to see these global warming computer models, "predict" past known events such as the mini ice age and thaw of 1000 AD to 1300 AD?, as well as the major ice ages and thaws.

The predictable bottom line: Climate Change has the potential to destroy the insurance industry....

As a political rather than an actuarial judgement, this could provide insurers some opportunities to make money based on fear alone.

Kyoto is the socialist intention to destroy capitalism.

Kyoto is the non-free world attack on the one in twenty-six who feeds the rest.

Kyoto is to science as Sheila Jackson Lee is to astronomy--

When she finds the American flag we planted on Mars, at its base will be the link between SUV's and the extinction of dinosaurs.

Until that discovery, evict the UN.

Make the present facility a USO club for our servicemen and women.

Create an electric light American flag on the face of the tall structure visible for miles 24/7.

Transport the current 5,000 diplofairy fascists to an ice floe somewhere within the Arctic Circle--

--where these "scientists" can most readily monitor this dangerous global warming.

Just UN-do it!

That's not likely to happen! UN science is based on providing "scientific" proof for an already established conclusion.
