So are we really
experiencing “global warming”?
By Michael Snyder
Of
course not.
What
the United States and Canada are experiencing right now is making global
warming alarmists such as Al Gore look quite foolish. The following are 10 of Al Gore’s stupidest global
warming quotes…
1. In
2008, Al Gore boldly declared to a
German audience that “the entire North
‘polarized’ cap will disappear in 5 years.” (Needless to say, that did
not happen. In fact, the ice cap in the Arctic actually got larger this year.)
2. “CO2 is the exhaling breath of our civilization,
literally. … Changing that pattern requires a scope, a scale, a speed of change
that is beyond what we have done in the past.” (Actually, without carbon dioxide life on earth would not exist.)
3. “The planet has a fever. If your baby has a
fever, you go to the doctor. If the doctor says you need to intervene
here, you don’t say, ‘Well, I read a science fiction novel that told me it’s
not a problem.’ If the crib’s on fire, you don’t speculate that the baby is
flame retardant. You take action.” (It sounds like what Al Gore really needs is
more cowbell.)
4. During a speech at NYU Law School in 2006, Al
Gore made the following statement:
“Many scientists are now warning that we are moving
closer to several “tipping points” that could — within as little as 10 years —
make it impossible for us to avoid irretrievable damage to the planet’s
habitability for human civilization.”
5. “Here
is the truth: The Earth
is round; Saddam Hussein did not attack us on 9/11; Elvis is dead; Obama was
born in the United States; and the
climate crisis is real.”
6. “The interior
of the earth is extremely hot – several million degrees.” (It actually peaks out at about 11,000
degrees.)
7. “There is an air of unreality in debating
these arcane points when the world is changing in such dramatic ways right in front of our eyes because
of global warming.”
8. “It would be
an enormous relief if the recent attacks on the
science of global warming actually indicated that we do not face an
unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect
human civilization as we know it.” (very
big if)
9. “The survival of the United States of America
as we know it is at risk. And even
more — if more should be required — the future of human civilization is at
stake.” (Yes, from liberal ideology)
10. “We ought to
approach this challenge [of global warming] with a sense of profound joy and
gratitude: that we are the generation about which, a thousand years from now, philharmonic orchestras and poets and
singers will celebrate by saying, they were the ones that found it within
themselves to solve this crisis and
lay the basis for a bright and optimistic human future.”
As
time goes by, the scientific evidence continues to mount. It is becoming
painfully evident that the theory of man-made global warming simply is not
true. The following is from a recent New American article…
Well, 2013 is almost over, and contrary to the alarmist “predictions”
by Gore and what critics refer to as his “doomsday cult,” the latest satellite data show that Arctic ice cover has
actually expanded 50 percent over 2012 levels. In fact, during October, sea-ice
levels grew at the fastest pace since records began in 1979. Experts predict
the expansion to continue in the years to come, leaving global-warming
alarmists scrambling fiendishly for explanations to save face — and to revive
the rapidly melting climate hysteria.
In September, meanwhile, data also
showed that sea ice levels in Antarctica had expanded to record levels for the
second year in a row. Of course, by now, virtually everyone who has been
following news about “global warming” — now more often referred to as “climate
change” owing to public-relations concerns — also knows that global temperatures have not risen
for some 17 years. The spectacular lack of warming demolished all 73
of the “climate models” used by the United Nations to push its controversial
theories.
Sadly,
most of the governments of the planet still consider “man-made global warming”
to be one of the greatest threats facing us, and the U.S. government is leading
the charge. In fact,
the U.S. government has been giving other nations billions of dollars to help
them cope with “climate change”…
American
taxpayers spent $7.45 billion to help developing countries cope with climate
change in fiscal years 2010 through 2012, according to a federal government
report submitted to the United Nations on a subject that Secretary of State
John Kerry described as “a truly life-and-death challenge.”
And it appears that Barack Obama
plans to make the fight against global warming a major point of emphasis for
the rest of his time in office…
When President Obama leaves office
three years from now, the major policy story of his second term — barring some
kind of unforeseen invasion — is likely to be climate change. I made this
argument at feature length last year, and the evidence continues to mount. Coral
Davenport reports today about Secretary of State John Kerry’s “systematic,
top-down push to create an agency wide focus on global warming.”
Considering
the host of other major problems that this country is facing, it truly is
ironic that the federal government is spending so much time and energy fighting
a problem that doesn’t even exist.
Speaking of ironic, a team of
“climate change scientists” that had recently gone down to the Antarctic to
study “global warming” had to be rescued by helicopter when their ship got
stranded in the ice…
A group of climate change
scientists were rescued by helicopter Jan. 2, after being stranded in the ice
since Christmas morning. But the majority of the broadcast networks’ reports
about the ice-locked climate researchers never
mentioned climate change.
The Russian ship, Akademic
Shokalskiy, was stranded in the ice while on a climate change research
expedition, yet nearly 98 percent of
network news reports about the stranded researchers failed to mention their
mission at all. Forty out of 41 stories (97.5 percent) on the network
morning and evening news shows since Dec. 25 failed to mention climate change
had anything to do with the expedition.
In fact, rather than point out the mission was to find evidence
of climate change, the networks often referred to the stranded people as
“passengers,” “trackers” and even “tourists,” without a word about climate
change or global warming.
Yes, the climate of the earth is
changing. Throughout history it has always been changing. Most of that change is due to fluctuations
in the gigantic ball of fire that our planet is revolving around.
But the idea that carbon dioxide
is going to “destroy the planet” is ludicrous. Without carbon dioxide we would
all die.
And
the notion that “man-made global warming” is the “greatest threat” that
humanity is facing is absolutely laughable.
Sadly, nothing seems to dissuade the true believers. Not
even days like today.
