Outdoors With Othmar Vohringer: Is Global Warming a scam?

Well it turns out that those, including me, who called Global Warming a hoax were right all along.

When climate scientists threaten reporters

President Obama campaigns on a seriously good energy program, but it gets hijacked into the wilderness by the insistence of the environmental camp on jamming though the Cap and Trade monstrosity first and above all else. And nobody--none out of all this unlikely cast of characters--will take the time to listen to those who have concerns about the science and the policy options being discussed.

Copenhagen climate summit: the thinking person's guide - Telegraph

[Q] I smell a rat. Won’t all these people be flying in?

The UN estimates the total carbon emissions associated with the conference will be in the region of 40,500 tonnes - the equivalent of running the UK’s biggest polluter, Drax power station, for a day.

We are promised that the 20 new kilns will put 50,000 fewer tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.

Increasing CO2 is linked to higher temperatures, which is why this is happening. However, in all honesty, much as I would like to reduce the risk of soaring temperatures, even higher temperatures are not a danger to human health at levels projected even by alarmist scientists. The average temperature in Rome is far higher than in most of these United States, and yet Romans live 6 years longer than we San Franciscans. And those retirees in Florida and Arizona look pretty spry...
