Roger’s Rules » Annals of Global Warming

Is there a cycle in climate hysteria that requires nutters to oscillate between proclaiming that the world is getting too hot and proclaiming that, on the contrary, it is getting too cold? And if you are a paid-up climate hysteric, how do you know which side to champion on a given day? Back in 1975, Newsweek wrung its hands that “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climate change, or even to allay its effects.” What sort of action? Well, there were proposals to melt the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot, for example. Why didn’t political leaders act then to save the earth? Was that because they sensed that, a couple years down the line, the same people that were shouting that ice was about to engulf the world would be screaming that the polar ice caps were melting? Who knows. Someone should ask Al Gore.

BillingsGazette.com :: Letter: Climate change talk is all about control

Global warming or climate change, whichever you choose to call it is a religion, Al Gore is the prophet and Steve Running and his ilk are the disciples. It is not about science, it is about control.

Professor denies global warming theory - The Daily Princetonian

Physics professor William Happer GS ’64 has some tough words for scientists who believe that carbon dioxide is causing global warming.

“This is George Orwell. This is the ‘Germans are the master race. The Jews are the scum of the earth.’ It’s that kind of propaganda,” Happer, the Cyrus Fogg Brackett Professor of Physics, said in an interview. “Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Every time you exhale, you exhale air that has 4 percent carbon dioxide. To say that that’s a pollutant just boggles my mind. What used to be science has turned into a cult.”

Happer served as director of the Office of Energy Research in the U.S. Department of Energy under President George H.W. Bush and was subsequently fired by Vice President Al Gore, reportedly for his refusal to support Gore’s views on climate change.

The problem does not in fact exist, he said, and society should not sacrifice for nothing.

“[Climate change theory has] been extremely bad for science. It’s going to give science a really bad name in the future,” he said. “I think science is one of the great triumphs of humankind, and I hate to see it dragged through the mud in an episode like this.”
