And Yet They Still Don't Get It

This week's post will be short and sweet. The reason: I'm going to point you to a document that everybody (especially those on the man-made global warming bandwagon) needs to read.

It continues to boggle my mind how people like Al Gore, Robert Kennedy, Jr., and chief climate change correspondent at The Weather Channel Heidi Cullen repeatedly ignore any news that would cast doubts on their theory that carbon emissions are destroying our planet. Their strategy seems to be twofold:

1. When scientific data comes out that refutes our claims of man-made global warming, we either look the other way or we vilify the person, persons, institution or institutions that are reporting the data.

2. Every time there is a heat wave anywhere in the world, immediately proclaim that it was caused by global warming. If some region is experiencing abnormally cold temperatures, let people know how that too is caused by global warming. Oh yeah, and if temperatures are running at normal levels, well, it must be global warming.

The problem with the climate change crowd comes down to two things: money and politics. For many scientists, their livelihood depends on an ongoing climate crisis. If there is no global warming, there will be no funding for them and they'll have to figure out another way to make a living. For politicians who pander to the environmentalist fringe, coming out now and admitting that they've been wrong about global warming is tantamount to political suicide.

And so, the misinformation campaigns go on, and good people continue to be called despicable names all because they dared to have a difference of opinion.

Everybody do me a favor and read this. Then decide for yourself whether Gore, Kennedy, Cullen and the rest are giving us all the facts.
