July 2008 Global Temperatures - Climate Change Fraud - Because the debate is not over

Much ado has been made about global warming stopping since 2001, since 1998 or not increasing in the last decade. Here is more grist to the skeptic mill. The analysis below shows the global temperature has not increased significantly since 1979!

IPCC Author Selection Process Plagued by Bias, Cronyism: Study - by James M. Taylor - The Heartland Institute

The selection of authors for the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), whose 2007 assessment report is often referred to as the definitive consensus regarding climate science, has been riddled with bias and cronyism, falling far short of the broad scientific consensus by which IPCC describes itself, reports a new study by the Science and Public Policy Institute (SPPI).

"The IPCC is a single-interest organization, whose charter directs it to assume that there is a human influence on climate, rather than to consider whether the influence may be negligible," lead author John McLean, an Australian researcher, observes in the study.

The study documents that instead of seeking input from a wide array of scientists representing a broad swath of the scientific community, IPCC's climate science assessment is dominated by a small clique of alarmists who frequently work closely with each other outside the IPCC process.

Woonsocket Call - Experts sound global warming alarm at U.S. Senate session in R.I.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who chaired the hearing, warned that information questioning the existence of global warming or its connection to human activity “is part of an effort to fool people.” That effort entails labeling those who buy into global warming as “eccentric scientists or wacky environmentalists,” Whitehouse said.
Under the committee's rules, only invited individuals are allowed to speak, with no input from the public. When Whitehouse was asked after the session why no skeptics were invited to testify, the senator said he is not aware of any “climate change deniers” in Rhode Island. [Whitehouse should read this.]
He joked during the hearing that “Washington seems to be the high-water mark” for industry-based groups that he accused of trying to “sow doubt” about the phenomenon. “They are nervous about the changes necessary as we move to a green economy,” Whitehouse said.
“In this case, the science seems to be unequivocal,” the senator said. “We are not responding as a society to this threat as rapidly as we should.” [Via Marc Morano]
