I can’t help thinking that this might be the best headline of the year:
HOUSE HEARING ON ‘WARMING OF THE PLANET’ CANCELED AFTER SNOW/ICE STORM
If that isn’t the most delicious-sounding headline of the year, I don’t know what is. That’s what makes this op-ed by Joe Lieberman and John McCain seem utterly out of touch. Don’t get me wrong. McCain and Lieberman are both honorable men for the most part but they’re out of touch with reality on this. Listen to this paragraph:
THERE IS NOW a broad consensus in this country, and indeed in the world, that global warming is happening, that it is a serious problem, and that humans are causing it. The recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded there is a greater than 90 percent chance that greenhouse gases released by human activities like burning oil in cars and coal in power plants are causing most of the observed global warming. This report puts the final nail in denial’s coffin about the problem of global warming.
This is what happens when you rely on the UN report and the Agenda Media for your information. There isn’t a hint in that paragraph that says that they’ve independently researched the subject. That’s inexcusable at a time when Gore’s information superhighway gives us access to tons of verifiable information that’s far more trustworthy than Al Gore’s rantings and the IPCC’s propaganda.
This isn’t Lieberman’s and McCain’s finest moment in terms of courage. They showed that they’re more interested in consensus based on refutable facts. If they’d shown the courage on this that they’ve shown in fighting the jihadists, they would’ve written a totally different op-ed.
Furthermore, I cringe anytime I hear the phrase “There is broad consensus”. Consensus just means that a bunch of liars have gotten together to perpetrate a hoax on the people. These scientists offer nothing in terms of verifiable, repeatable data. I don’t know that they’ve even offered a methodology by which they’ve arrived at their opinions. It isn’t science that they used to arrive at their opinions. It was their need to keep getting grants that drove them to their opinions.
As I said here, global warming isn’t science; it’s a political movement. Until they stop manipulating the data like they did here, I won’t accept their opinions as scientific findings:
Michael Mann and his co-workers published an estimate of global temperatures from the year 1000 to 1980. Mann’s results appeared to show a spike in recent temperatures that was unprecedented in the last thousand years. His alarming report formed the centerpiece of the U.N.’s Third Assessment Report, in 2001. Mann’s work was immediately criticized because it didn’t show the well-known Medieval Warm Period, when temperatures were warmer than they are today, or the Little Ice Age that began around 1500, when the climate was colder than today.

My brother in Akron says they just shoveled 6 inches of Al Gores global warmth off the driveway last night and there another 8 to 10 more coming.

Now, why does this ring bells? Or perhaps I should say, prayer calls.
But seriously, I love the way you all think that the effects of global warming are inapplicable or somehow erroneous becuase… it snows! And it still gets cold! Umm, if this is what you’re basing your conclusions on, you really need to do some more research (and I’d recommend staying away from Fox Noise and the Moonies for your sources).
Here’s are a couple of good, fair and balanced places to start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming and http://www.nrdc.org/about/.
