Global Hoax

We are about to sacrifice our standard of living for the dubious cause of global warming. There is abundant evidence that the world is not warming at all, but, even if it were, it is beyond human power to make any significant reduction.

“For most of the past 10,000 years,” says James Taylor, Senior Fellow of Environmental Policy at the Heartland Institute, “temperatures have been 1.0 to 3.0 Celsius warmer than they are today.” Taylor points out that the .6 increase during the 20th century is measured from the baseline of The Little Ice Age, “which saw the coldest global temperatures during the past 10,000 years.” The only way to make a case for global warming is to compare today’s temperatures to the abnormally low levels of The Little Ice Age.

You’ve heard about the polar bears? Polar bear numbers have doubled since the 1980s. Also, “Antarctic sea ice is growing and has been setting records for much of the past year.” Taylor further says that during the 20th century the Sahara and other deserts have shrunk.

As for the impact of human activity, Harvard scientists have published research results showing that temperatures reflect solar activity more than carbon dioxide. Writing in HuffingtonPost.com, Harold Ambler of TalkAboutTheWeather.com “The theory that carbon dioxide ‘drives’ climate in any meaningful way is simply wrong…Carbon dioxide can not absorb an unlimited amount of infared radiation.” For a more detailed explanation read the HuffingtonPost.com article.

The global warming hoax has grown because it serves the interests of so many groups, journalists, politicians, anti-capitalists, environmental extremists and America haters (here and abroad). It is economic suicide to make major policy decisions based on a theory so in conflict with the facts.
