Global warming not new | dailyrecord.com | Daily Record

A new report issued by President Barack Obama's White House indicates that the earth's climate is changing, and that man's activities are the main cause. I have no doubt that the Earth's climate is changing -- after all, it has done so for millions of years. But man is not the main cause. There is abundant evidence for this. To cite but one of countless examples, New-Jersey-Leisure-Guide.com notes that the 77-foot high Great Falls of the Passaic River in Paterson "emerged approximately 13,000 years ago at the end of the ice age," due to glacial retreat. Some enterprising journalist ought to ask the "High Priest of the Warming Globe," Al Gore, and Obama how many SUVs and factories were around then.

The American Spectator - Paul Chesser : Commandeered by Climate Alarmists

Did the chief executives of a few Western states hijack the staff and resources of their regional coalition, against the will of most of their fellow governors, all to promote their vision for a regional cap-and-trade agreement?

It sure looks that way...

Extremists strain credibility of environmentalism - The Post and Courier

Since the 1960s, beginning with the book "Silent Spring," the enviro-alarmists have insisted that by the year 2000, humanity — at least those who survived the ecological doomsday — would be gasping for air in a feeble attempt to carry on the human race. It didn't happen.

Global warming has become the cause du jour of those who would "save" humanity. We have ancient trees and fossilized remains of plants that clearly indicate that the Earth goes through cycles of changing temperatures. Since the beginning, the Earth has heated up and cooled off in cyclic fashion.

We must solve the problems of fossil-based energy dependence and other environmental challenges, but we must do it rationally.

Scientists: Obama document is 'scare' tactic

The forecast from a new report by the Obama administration on global warming warns North Carolina's beaches could be swallowed up by the sea, New England's long winters could last two weeks and Chicago? Watch out for deadly heat waves.

But scientists who have evaluated the warnings and forecasts says it is a "scare" report that has little relation to reality.

"This is not a work of science but an embarrassing episode for the authors and NOAA," said meteorologist Joe D'Aleo, the former chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Committee on Weather Analysis and Forecasting.
