Climate Scientist Consensus - Global Warming Is Real (Other Scientists, Not So Much)

What is interesting is how the numbers broke down. Climatology researchers had a Middle East dictatorship-worthy 97 percent agree that humans were causing global warming but petroleum geologists only had 47 percent believers and meteoroligists 64 percent. The entire population rests right in the middle, at around 58 percent. You can bet it would be higher with the wording above.

Doran says the petroleum geologist response "is not too surprising" - one would presume that he means because of their jobs, their integrity is for sale, whereas climatologists rely on government grants and there's no way to know how many government grants were turned down for skeptics of global warming theory. Generally we have to protest when it is alleged that any science group is going to disagree for reasons that are personal and not scientific but we are a science site and not an advocacy one so our noting of his qualifier will likely get us lumped in as Holocause deniers or shills for Big Oil.

Meteorolgists are dismissed out of hand by him. "Most members of the public think meteorologists know climate, but most of them actually study very short-term phenomenon." So the next time you need an accurate hundred-year climate forecast, go to a climatologist and see how well it works.

Inconvenient Truth: Reducing CO2 Emissions Will NOT Save the Planet!

Listen up, Folks: Reducing man-made CO2 emissions will NOT save the planet! The Man-Made Global Warming Theory that the UNIPCC hangs its hat on, states that increasing amounts of man-made carbon dioxide will trap more of the sun’s heat in the atmosphere. This will then increase the water vapor content of the atmosphere. According to the IPCC, the two greenhouse gases will combine their super powers to increase earth’s surface temperatures to dangerous levels.

But, my friends, carbon dioxide is NOT a pollutant. It is a naturally occurring trace gas essential to life on earth. Simply reducing CO2 levels does nothing to reduce real pollution. It does nothing to clean up our streams and rivers from dangerous mercury contamination. It does nothing to prevent sewage from polluting our drinking supplies. It doesn’t fix holes in the ozone layer, nor does it stop landfill chemicals from leaching into ground water. Even if CO2 levels plummeted in the next 20 years, we’d still have pollution problems.

Monckton - “Hudson air crash caused by ‘global warming’”

While it would be irresponsible to spread alarm by predicting that the current interglacial will suddenly give place to a new Ice Age in the very near future – for the timing of such events is beyond our current ability to predict – it is noteworthy that, in the mainstream media there has been almost no mention of the global cooling that has occurred in the 21st century. If the trend had been towards warming rather than cooling at a rate as great is 6 degrees C/century for as long as four years, there would have been worldwide headlines. Instead, after this sharp cooling, we are told that “global warming” caused the bird-strike that downed the Airbus in the Hudson River. As the Duke of Wellington used to say, “If you will believe that, Sir, you will believe anything.” End of scare.
