Dissidents Against Dogma (Global warming greenhousers beware!)

First, there were deniers. Now, we have greenhousers! IMHO, the terms of invective are now more equal.

[Thebaddog]

Limbaugh cited this author a month ago and referred to the fact that climate models don’t factor in precipitation. WTF? And this is all called settled science. BS.

Global Warming: Truth or Dare?

Even some lefties get somethings right.

You guys aren’t going to believe this...I just saw a pig fly past my window.

[gorush]

This is very interesting. Liberals try to rationalize a conclusion that is contrary to common acceptable thought. This gives them the feeling that they are smarter than the average bear. Here is a lefty taking an opposing view to global warming because he thinks that is the accepted norm.

Michaels is often slammed as a hired gun for the fossil fuel industry

Why is it that the "hired guns" of the greenie kooks aren't called so in a derogatory manner? Perhaps someone who really knows something about fossil fuels just might have the right perspective on this issue.

I know the answer, but it is frustrating.

Thanks for the links.

[Always Right]

Ironically, 99.99% of the hired guns are on the pro-global warming side.

Earth’s Climatic History: http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7x.html

From: http://www.sepp.org/keyissue.html - “Controversies about environmental hazards and the management of natural resources have spilled over into attacks on scientists who do not subscribe to “politically correct” views. Scientific evidence based on observed facts is being subordinated to speculative theory and unverified computer models. Scientific debate is being replaced by pressure to conform to a new orthodoxy, reinforced by the control of research funds by governmental agencies. Particularly disturbing is the increasing evidence that this funding biases even scientific organizations and university science faculties. Yet the future of science depends on open and untrammeled debate. For related commentary, see Misuse of Science.”

From: http://www.sepp.org/statment.html - “As independent scientists, researching atmospheric and climate problems, we are concerned by the agenda for UNCED, the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, being developed by environmental activist groups and certain political leaders.”

From: http://www.oism.org/pproject/ - “This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful.” - Frederick Seitz, Past President, National Academy of Sciences, U.S.A.

From: http://www.sitewave.net/news/s49p1523.htm - “Despite billions of dollars and millions of propaganda headlines, the global warming prophesied by the climate modeling industry is not scientifically real”

From: http://www.sitewave.net/news/s49p1521.htm - “I have been asked to talk about what I consider the most important challenge facing mankind, and I have a fundamental answer. The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda … As an example of this challenge, I want to talk today about environmentalism. – “Environmentalism as Religion” by Michael Crighton

From: http://www.friendsofscience.org/ - “Never in world history, outside the collective insanity marshaled behind Marxism through much of the last century, has a political movement required such an unrelenting flood of propaganda and media manipulation to stay afloat.”
