It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create in (sic) allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environment whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the ?research? to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon, they claimed to be a consensus?
—John Coleman, meteorologist and founder of the Weather Channel.
Coleman goes on to describe what has taken place regarding what he calls the global warming scam.
“Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then team up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalists, [and] journalists to create this wild ‘scientific’ scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to this radical agenda. Now, their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and becomes a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one [ABC] reporter has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.”
Coleman is only the latest expert to declare that Global Warming is a hoax yet its advocates in Congress and among Democratic candidates for their party’s presidential nomination are promising to saddle the American people with laws designed to stop something that is not happening that will have many of us in the poor house.
According to the Washington Post a the Democrats’ current global warming proposals “will require a wholesale transformation of the nation’s economy and society.” The Post reported that Democrat presidential candidates’ climate proposals would “cost billions of dollars,” and detailed exactly what the American people will face when it comes to cap-and-trade proposals. Others hiked the price tag into the trillions of dollars.
The article went on to point out that energy expert Tracy Terry’s analysis of a recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology study showed that “under the scenario of an 80 percent reduction in emissions from 1990 levels, by 2015 Americans could be paying 30 percent more for natural gas in their homes and even more for electricity. At the same time, the cost of coal could quadruple and crude oil prices could rise by an additional $24 a barrel.”
A November 5 issue of the Wall Street Journal warned that “These new climate proposals come at a time when a “winter-heating crisis looms”
Wrote the Journal “As fuel prices surge to new records, lawmakers are trying to limit a potential crisis that could leave many of the Northeast’s poor without adequate heating this winter.”
According to The Colorado Springs Gazette the choices facing the government involve imposing: ” costly, probably ineffective government dictates, or concede costs are too great and benefits too little to bother. Some are rethinking rash acts. An article in the British environmental journal Nature last month said it’s time to dump the Kyoto Protocol because it’s the wrong approach and has ?failed’ to cut greenhouse gases. The London School of Economics and Oxford authors also said carbon taxes and so-called cap-and-trade systems won’t achieve reductions, either.”
The paper continued: “Meaningful CO2 reductions would negatively affect a large part of the economy, Alan Greenspan writes in his new book, The Age of Turbulence that. Any meaningful reduction cap means a ‘large number of companies will experience cost increases that make them less competitive. Jobs will be lost, and real incomes of workers constrained.'”
The paper concluded “The Congressional Budget Office says consumers would pay most costs. Of course they would; consumers pay for everything in one way or another. The Free Enterprise Education Institute think tank forecasts an economic contraction that will cost each U.S. Family $10,800 by 2020. ‘Cap-and-trade systems or carbon taxes are likely to be popular only until real people lose real jobs as their consequence,’ Greenspan writes.”
According to a spokesman for Senator James Inhofe other news outlets have detailed how the poor face the most harmful impacts from rising energy costs. A 2006 survey ofColorado homeless families with children found that high energy bills were cited as one of the two main reasons they became homeless.
According to Sen. Inhofe “The Congressional Budget Office recently looked at the approach taken by most global warming proposals in Congress – known as cap and trade – that would place a cap on carbon emissions, allocate how much everyone could emit, and then let them trade those emissions. Let me quote from the CBO report:
“‘Regardless of how the allowances were distributed, most of the cost of meeting a cap on CO2 emissions would be borne by consumers, who would face persistently higher prices for products such as electricity and gasoline. Those price increases would be regressive in that poorer households would bear a larger burden relative to their income than wealthier households would.'”
“Think about that. Even relatively modest bills would put enormous burdens on the poor.
“The poor already face energy costs much higher as a percentage of their income than wealthier Americans. While most Americans spend about 4 percent of their monthly budget on heating their homes or other energy needs, the poorest fifth of Americans spend 19 percent of their budget on energy. Why would we adopt policies which disproportionately force the poor and working class to shoulder the heaviest burdens through even higher energy costs?”
Says astronomer Dr. Ian Wilson after reviewing a new study “Heat Capacity, Time Constant, and Sensitivity of Earth’s Climate System,” authored by Brookhaven National Lab scientist Stephen Schwartz: “Anthropogenic (man-made) global warming bites the dust.” Another scientist said the study overturned “in one fell swoop” the climate fears promoted by the UN and former Vice President Al Gore.
“Effectively, this (new study) means that the global economy will spend trillions of dollars trying to avoid a warming of ~ 1.0 K by 2100 A.D.” Dr. Wilson wrote in a note to the Senate Environment & Public Works Committee on August 19, 2007. Wilson, a former operations astronomer at the Hubble Space Telescope Institute in Baltimore MD, was referring to the trillions of dollars that would be spent under such international global warming treaties like the Kyoto Protocol.
If the global warming fanatics have their way, you’ll be paying a lot to finance a hoax, a scam, and a covert scheme to impose socialism on the U.S. and the rest of the world.
