Global Warming Presentation

Slide 1: The great global warming trial. Will you be an alarmist or a skeptic?

Slide 2: GLOBAL WARMING ALARM!

Slide 3: Global warming is a natural phenomenon, and there is nothing realistic that mankind can do to significantly change the global temperature.

Slide 4:  An established belief thought to be authoritative and not to be disputed, doubted or diverged from.  Examples include:  Judaism, Christianity and Islam  Belief that 9/11 was a conspiracy  Beat Army!  Global warming

Slide 5:  There is no discussion, no alternative science, or no weather experts that advocates of man made climate change creating imminent peril for the planet will listen to. ”The debate is over!”

Slide 6: The media The schools  The politicians  The organizations  Demonizing the unbelievers  An Inconvenient Truth

Slide 7: When asked why his 60 Minutes does not include the views of global warming skeptics:  “It would be difficult to find a scientist worth his salt who would suggest this wasn't happening. It would probably be someone whose grant has been funded by someone who finds reducing fossil fuel emissions detrimental to their own interests. There comes a point in journalism where striving for balance becomes irresponsible.\"  60 Minutes reporter Scott Pelley,

Slide 8: Media Research Center

Slide 9:  “Polar bears starting to turn up drowned and at some point will become extinct due to global warming.”  Time magazine

Slide 10: “The world population of polar bears has mushroomed from 5,000 in the 1960s to about 25,000 today. The 2 of the 20 subgroups that are declining live in regions in which the temperatures have been dropping over the past 50 years. The 18 subgroups that have seen an increase live in areas that have been getting warmer. It’s just silly to predict the demise of polar bears based on media-assisted hysteria. The future of polar bears is secure.”  Dr. Mitchell Taylor, Polar Bear Biologist, Department of the Environment, Government of Nunavut , Igloolik , Nunavut , Canada  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ”Clearly, any warming that has occurred has not had an adverse impact on polar bear numbers. This is true of the polar bear populations in Alaska, Canada, Russia, and other nations.” Alaska Department of Fish and Game

Slide 11:  The New York Times reported Dec, 23, 2007 “As Earth Warms Up, Tropical Virus Moves to Italy. This is a real issue. Now, today. It is not something a crazy environmentalist is warning about.”  The New York Times did not report:  “Italy’s tropical virus is a result of modern transportation, not global warming.”  Professor Paul Reiter Director of the Insects and Infectious Diseases Unit of the Institute Pasteur, Paris.

Slide 12:  -

Slide 13: Humans are heating the earth. Devastation if we don’t change the way we live.  Polar caps will melt  Ocean levels will rise.  Droughts, floods, and chaos. Malaria will kill many people. Extinction of plants and animals.

Slide 14: “Human-caused global warming is a certainty.”

Slide 15:  General Electric will spend $1.5 billion a year to research the emission of greenhouse gases. United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, National Association of Evangelicals and National Council of Churches, declare: \"Global warming is a universal moral challenge,\"

Slide 16:  October 2007 Newsletter summarized a recent lecture, “The Climate Crisis: Answer the Call”. Invited members to individually work in promoting public awareness.  Repeated these words from the lecture: preserve our planet for our children catastrophic floods disappearing glaciers 2005 was the hottest year to date less than 10 years to stabilize the situation

Slide 17:  Greenland’s Warming Island  “If global warming needed a poster child, here it is.”  Dennis Schmitt, 2005 discoverer of Warming Island and tour operator with Betchart Expeditions. 

Slide 18:  “‘Climate change denier’ – is used to mark out certain people as immoral, untrustworthy. It is deeply pejorative. It is a phrase designedly reminiscent of the idea of Holocaust denial.”  Richard D North, author of Rich is Beautiful: A Very Personal Defense of Mass Affluence

Slide 19:  “Scientist who dissent from the alarmist have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves labeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse.  There are peculiar standards in place in scientific journals for articles submitted by those who raise questions about accepted climate wisdom. At Science and Nature, such papers are commonly refused without review as being without interest.”  Young scientists today who dare to stray from the alarmist dogma of man-made global warming often have to choose between silence through intimidation or jeopardizing their employment.  Only the most senior scientists today can withstand up against the alarmist gale and defy the climate scientist, advocates and policymakers.”  Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Soan Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

Slide 20:  “We should have war crimes trials for these bastards -- some sort of climate Nuremberg.” David Roberts, staff writer for Grist journal

Slide 21:  “Intellectually Exhilarating! An Inconvenient Truth is a necessary film”  A.O. Scott, New York Times “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair “What changed in the US with Hurricane Katrina is we entered a period of consequences.” Al Gore

Slide 22:  “You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to.”  Roger Ebert, movie critic

Slide 23:  Examining the science  1. Man made CO2 causes it.  2. Computer models predict it will get much worse.

Slide 24: “It is the scientific basis for the whole anxiety we have about climate change caused by human beings.\" carbon dioxide graph by Robert Simmon, NASA temperature graph from NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

Slide 25: United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)

Slide 26:  “Skepticism is the highest of duties; blind faith the one unpardonable sin.”  Thomas Huxley, 19th century English biologist.

Slide 27:  Were the temperature change which has taken place during the 20th and 21st centuries to occur in this room during my talk, most of the people in this room would be unaware of it.  How can a one degree F increase in temperature since the late 19th century possibly gain public acceptance as the source of recent weather catastrophes? And how can it translate into claims about future catastrophes? Richard Lindzen, Alfred P. Soan Professor of Atmospheric Science, MIT

Slide 28:  US surface temperatures have increased about 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees F) per century.  Highest temperature in history was 136 degrees F in Libya, 1922  Lowest temperature in history was -128 degrees F in Antarctica, 1983  Max to min was 264 degrees F  US National Climatic Data Center 100 C = 212 F

Slide 29:  The best measurements of global air temperatures come from American weather satellites, and they show no overall change since 1999.  That makes no sense by the hypothesis of global warming driven mainly by CO2, because the amount of CO2 in the air has gone on increasing.” Nigel Calder, editor of New Scientist Journal

Slide 33: “So great are the magnitudes of these reservoirs, the rates of exchange between them, and the uncertainties of the estimated quantities that the sources of the recent rise in atmospheric CO2 have not been determined with certainty.” T.V. Segalstad, University of Oslo, Norway

Slide 34:  How does CO2 effect temperature? “The journey to the answer is immensely complex and no one can say absolutely what the effect is. The greenhouse effect amplifies solar warming of the earth. Greenhouse gases such as H2O, CO2, and CH4 in the Earth’s atmosphere, through combined convective readjustments and the radiative blanketing effect, essentially decrease the net escape of terrestrial thermal infrared radiation. Increasing CO2, therefore, effectively increases radiative energy input to the Earth’s atmosphere. The path of this radiative input is complex. It is redistributed, both vertically and horizontally, by various physical processes, including advection, convection, and diffusion in the atmosphere and ocean. When an increase in CO2 increases the radiative input to the atmosphere, how and in which direction does the atmosphere respond?  The IPCC uses a worst-case-scenario hypothesis. Their theory projects a dramatic temperature increase. Skeptics use experimental evidence with real world data. They conclude that while CO2 has increased substantially, its effect on temperature has not been experimentally detected.” Roy Spencer, Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA ‘s Marshall Space Flight Center

Slide 35:  Cloudiness varies according to how many atomic particles are coming in from exploded stars. More cosmic rays, more clouds. The sun’s magnetic field bats away many of the cosmic rays, and its intensification during the 20th century meant fewer cosmic rays, fewer clouds, and a warmer world.  Demonstrated the theory in his laboratory in 2006. Henrik Svensmark , Director of Danish National Space Center

Slide 36:  If the atmosphere’s CO2 content doubled, its effect would be cancelled out if the cloud cover expanded by 1%.  H. E. Landsberg Director of the Taunus Observatory of Geophysics and Meteorology, University of Frankfurt, Germany \"All calculations about the greenhouse effect and global warming assume cloud cover isn't changing. But the Danish scientists have demonstrated cloud cover does change. The question of cloud cover, is the most critical unanswered question in the entire global warming debate.”  Richard Muller, University of California, Berkeley

Slide 40: “Climate models have yet to produce reliable results. An analysis of 22 climate models found their predictions at odds with actual warming over the past 30 years.” David H. Douglass, Climate scientist, University of Rochester  \"The blind adherence to the harebrained idea that climate models can generate 'realistic' simulations of climate is the principal reason why I remain a climate skeptic.  Hendrik Tennekes, Director of Research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute  “Models used by the IPCC are incoherent and invalid.”  Antonio Zichichi, President of the World Federation of Scientists

Slide 41:  When discrepancies arise, observations should carry greater weight than theory. Therefore, the multitude of empirical observations favors celestial phenomena over the IPCC theoretical model. Jan Veizer, University of Ottawa “

Slide 42:  “The Earth is getting hotter because the Sun is burning more brightly” Dr Sami Solanki, director of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research in Gottingen, Germany

Slide 43:  “Some parts of Jupiter are now as much as six degrees Celsius warmer than just a few years ago.” Imke de Pater and Philip Marcus of University of California, Berkeley

Slide 44:  Carbon dioxide \"ice caps\" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions “A simultaneous rising in temperature on both Mars and Earth suggest that climate change is indeed a natural phenomenon as opposed to being man- made. Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia

Slide 45:  \"At least since 1989, Triton, Neptune’s largest moon, has been undergoing a period of global warming,\" Astronomer James Elliot, professor of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology

Slide 46:  Storms on Saturn indicate a climate change occurring on that planet. NASA

Slide 47:  Pluto is undergoing global warming. Over the past 14 years, the average surface temperature increased about 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit. Astronomer James Elliot

Scientific skeptics of  2004 - 2007 man-made catastrophic global  Only 7% of all published scientists warming are bought and paid for explicitly endorse global warming by the fossil fuel industry.” theory. Miles O'Brien ,CNN's chief technology and environment correspondent,  Science researcher Dr. Klaus-Martin Schulte, london July 23, 2007

Slide 51: UNITED NATIONS A CLOSER LOOK  “The United Nations IPCC Summary for Policymakers is the “It is very highly likely that voice of hundreds or even greenhouse gas forcing has been thousands of the world's top the dominant cause of the scientists.” observed global warming over the last 50 years. “  Only four UN scientists in the IPCC peer-review process explicitly endorsed the key chapter.

Slide 52:  An open letter to the United Nations Secretary-General. December 18, 2007. ( “Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity’s real and pressing problems.” Endorsed by more than 100 prominent international scientists such as:  Dr. Antonio Zichichi, President of the World Federation of Scientists  Dr. Reid Bryson, dubbed the \"Father of Meteorology“, University Of Wisconsin

Slide 53:  \"There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere.“ Signed by over 19,000 American scientists. Qualification to be a signatory requires that the individual have a university degree in physical science, either BS, MS, or PhD.  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  \" ‘Man-made climate change is real.” and “Climate catastrophe is looming.” Neither of these fears is justified.“ 2006 letter to Canada's Prime Minister signed by 60 experts in climate-related fields  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  \"We cannot subscribe to the politically inspired world view that predicts climate catastrophes and calls for hasty actions.“- 2005 Leipzig Petition signed by about 80 prominent scientists and academics

Slide 54:  Global warming is a false myth, and every serious person and scientist says so. The United Nations panel IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there wit
