A QUITE Convenient LIE!
(YouTube Video) John Stossell, 20/20, Give Me a Break: Global Warming:
Al Gore, the Joseph Goebbels of our time, frightening children with lies designed to fill his wallet! WHY is this man and his propaganda film permitted ANYWHERE NEAR our children?
Gore has stated repeatedly that he has a consensus of scientists backing up his lies. Citizens for a Sound Economy called him on that whopper. Their analysis indicates 90 percent of the scientists who have signed a letter frequently cited by Gore are in no way qualified to be called experts on the issue of global warming. Of Gore’s 2,600 experts, the following “scientists” have testified as to the validity of global warming: One plastic surgeon, two landscape architects, a hotel administrator, a gynecologist, seven linguists, one “Master of traditional Chinese Medicine,” etc. There is only one climatologist.
Gore adds to his big lie that the science is settled and there is no more debate on Global Warming. He cites 2,600 “experts” (see above). To date, 31,000 actual scientists have signed the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine’s Global Warming petition which says, in part:
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.
Gore cites the results of computerized climate models as proof of his apocalyptic rants, yet even the people who created those models must admit that they are based on assumptions that cannot be modeled! These scientists are paid to create a computer model that proves global warming, so they make assumptions such as clouds do not exist in order to simplify their models. As Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D, author of “Climate Confusion” (a HIGHLY recommended book) said:
“the warming from the extra CO2 is, by itself, relatively weak. It has been calculated theoretically that, if there are no other changes in the climate system, a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would cause less than 1 deg C of warming (about 1 deg. F). This is NOT a controversial statement…it is well understood by climate scientists. … BUT…everything this else in the climate system probably WON’T stay the same! For instance, clouds, water vapor, and precipitation systems can all be expected to respond to the warming tendency in some way, which could either amplify or reduce the manmade warming.”
Assuming there are no other changes in the climate system. That’s like first year physics classes, where we’re taught to ignore friction. I can design an automobile engine that gets a thousand miles per gallon with assumptions like that. Is there any question that Gore is missing his mark by at least that much?
Again, as Dr. Spencer points out, the climate system is ALL about shuffling heat from where there is more to where there is less. It’s the 2nd law of thermodynamics played out on a global basis. Heat transfers from hot to cold. The entire climate system is designed to move heat away from hot areas to cold areas.
Mount Pinatubo’s eruption is a great example of how the earth’s various systems work to achieve a state of homeostatic equilibrium. Tons of smoke, dust, and debris were blown into the atmosphere, FAR more damaging that a few parts per million of CO2 over many years. Did the planet freeze? Did it melt? Did polar bears drown? HARDLY! The earth’s systems worked together to cleanse the atmospher. To believe that everything else will remain unchanged, a belief necessary to swallow Gore’s Big Lie, is so ignorant as to approach infantile status!
Gore shows pictures of glaciers calving, GROWING so much that unsupported edges break off and fall into the sea, and LIES that they are melting. Gore shows pictures of a polar bear on a sheet of ice (a FAKE picture) and whimpers that global warming is killing polar bears. Gore refuses to acknowledge that only two of thirteen monitored polar bear populations are shrinking while the others are stable or growing, but still lies that they’re dying off. That’s like saying that mankind is dying off because Detroit is losing population! Gore has even ADMITTED that he’s lying!
“I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening up the audience to listen to what the solutions are.” - Al Gore, May 9, 2006 Grist Magazine.
Lord Christopher Monckton has challenged Al Gore to an international televised debate on anthropogenic Global Warming and Gore’s apocalyptic claims. Gore has refused that challenge for more than a year now. There is a $500,000 Global Warming Challenge, offering a half million dollars to the first person to prove in a scientific manner that humans are causing harmful global warming. The prize remains unclaimed. There have been numerous other challenges to Gore or anyone else able to provide scientific proof of Gore’s Big Lie. NONE of them have been met! Not a single one!
ALL the while, Gore sits back, collects his HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars from the gullible dupes who have bought into his Big Lie. How convenient!
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” - Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Germany’s Reich Minister of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.
Goebbels continued: “The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Gore has quite conveniently shielded the people AND the state from the political and economic consequences of his lie. He understands that the truth is the greatest enemy of his Big Lie and thus adds lies of “consensus” to his Big Lie in order to repress dissent.
Again, WHY in the WORLD! is this man or his propaganda permitted anywhere NEAR our children?
