AL GORE IS BUSY CREATING A RELIGION OF SCIENCE FORTUNATELY, THERE ARE STILL SOME OBJECTIVE SCIENTISTS WILLING TO SPEAK UP. THIS PRESENTATION DRAWS FREELY FROM: “YEAR OF GLOBAL COOLING”, DAVID DEMING, WASH TIMES, DEC 19, 2007 . David Deming is a geophysicist, an adjunct scholar with the National Center for Policy Analysis, and Associate Professor of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oklahoma.

CREATING A RELIGION OF SCIENCE: “ The good news is we know what to do. The good news is, we have everything we need now to respond to the challenge of global warming. We have all the technologies we need, more are being developed, and as they become available and become more affordable when produced in scale, they will make it easier to respond. But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.” AL GORE, speech at National Sierra Club Convention, Sept. 9, 2005

CREATING A RELIGION OF SCIENCE: “ The good news is we know what to do. … But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.” BUT AL, Record LOW temperatures are being set all over the world. In 2007, hundreds of people died, NOT from global warming, but from COLD weather hazards. Carbon dioxide continues to build in the atmosphere, but the mean planetary temperature hasn't increased significantly for nearly nine years Ref: “ Year of Global Cooling”, Wash Times, Dec 19, 2007 “ GLOBAL COLDING” IN 2007

E.G. : Australia experienced the coldest June ever. In NE Australia, the city of Townsville underwent the longest period of continuously cold weather since 1941. In New Zealand, it was so cold that vineyards were endangered. “ GLOBAL COLDING” IN 2007 X DEC NOV OCT SEP AUG JUL JUN MAY APR MAR FEB JAN

E.G. : Last January, $1.42B of California produce was lost to a devastating five-day freeze. 1000’s of agricultural employees were thrown out of work. In the wake of the freeze, California Gov. Schwarzenegger asked Pres. Bush to issue a disaster declaration. “ GLOBAL COLDING” IN 2007 X DEC NOV OCT SEP AUG JUL JUN MAY APR MAR FEB JAN

CREATING A RELIGION OF SCIENCE: “ The good news is we know what to do. … But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.” BUT, ATTENTION TRUTHSEEKERS: If you think any of the preceding facts can convert global warming zealots, don’t bet on it. In 2005, a Canadian Greenpeace representative explained “global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter.” In other words, ALL weather variations are evidence for global warming.

ONE UNFORTUNATE ELEMENT: MEDIA HYPE & INCOMPETENCE BEING WORRIED IS APPROPRIATE - - - - BUT INSTEAD OF GLOBAL WARMING, WORRY ABOUT MEDIA HYPE AND THE INTEGRITY OF OUR PRESS.

CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

CREATING A RELIGION OF SCIENCE: “ The good news is we know what to do. … But we should not wait, we cannot wait, we must not wait.” UNFORTUNATELY: Global warming has long since passed from scientific hypothesis to the realm of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo.

UNFORTUNATELY:

Global warming has long since passed from scientific hypothesis to the realm of pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo.

HOPEFULLY, THE PENDULUM IS STARTING TO SWING BACK TOWARDS SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVITY: U.S. SENATE REPORT: “Over 400 Prominent Scientists Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007 ”, December 20, 2007 This report is in the spirit of enlightenment philosopher Denis Diderot who reportedly said, "Skepticism is the first step towards truth."
