Letter to The Oregonian | GORE LIED

Global warming is essentially a politically motivated behavior-change device. The only reason predictions have recently become more dire is that the less dire predictions failed to scare people into action. This is both unnecessary and silly. Lowering carbon emissions is a no-brainer and shouldn’t require resorting to junk science and apocalyptic rhetoric.

Heliogenic Climate Change: ITCZ has been moving northward since the Little Ice Age

The ITCZ has been moving northward since the temperature minimum of the Little Ice age 300 years ago:

"New research from the University of Washington indicates that the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), which is a persistent band of showers and heavy thunderstorms that produces heavy rainfall near the equator, has been creeping northward for more than 300 years now. The zone, on average, has been moving northward at just less than 1 mile a year." "ITCZ Creeping Northward over the Past 300 Years"

...Washington has purposefully crafted a complicated, back-door tax increase in the hopes that voters won’t notice until its too late (and even then, the pols will blame rate increases on evil utilities). But isn’t that what a press watchdog is for?

None of the papers reported the cost studies. None of them referenced Europe’s failed cap-and-trade experience. None of them mentioned that global temperatures are falling.

The major story of the week that the EPA had covered up its own report that global warming science is flawed — the story that should be on the front page of every Midwest paper — was broken, not by the press, but by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (home of Planet Gore’s Chris Horner).
