Professor: Big Money Behind Global Warming Propaganda

Another professor challenges the so-called "consensus" behind man-made climate change

A retired physics professor became the latest public figure to debunk the myth of a "consensus" behind man-made global warming when he slammed big money interests for pushing climate change propaganda that was at odds with real science in a speech yesterday.

Howard C. Hayden, emeritus professor of physics from the University of Connecticut, told a Pueblo West audience that he was prompted to speak out after a visit to New York where he learned that scaremongering billboards about the long-term effects of global warming were being purchased at a cost of $700,000 a month.

"Someone is willing to spend a huge amount of money to scare us about global warming," Hayden said. "Big money is behind the global-warming propaganda."..........

Weather Channel Founder Wants To Sue Al Gore For Global Warming Fraud

Coleman says man-made climate change advocates would lose landmark court case

A landmark court case that would destroy the so-called "consensus" behind man-made global warming could be in the works after Weather Channel founder John Coleman expressed his intention to sue Al Gore for fraud.

Companies that sell "carbon credits" on the basis that they offset carbon emissions could also be in the firing line as Coleman stated his conviction that man-made advocates would lose the case if a fair debate, something that the establishment is loathe to allow, was allowed to take place.

"Since we can't get a debate, I thought perhaps if we had a legal challenge and went into a court of law, where it was our scientists and their scientists, and all the legal proceedings with the discovery and all their documents from both sides and scientific testimony from both sides, we could finally get a good solid debate on the issue," Coleman said. "I'm confident that the advocates of 'no significant effect from carbon dioxide' would win the case.".................

BLAIR URGES ENVIRONMENT REVOLUTION

Saturday March 15,2008

Tony Blair has called for a "global environment revolution".

Speaking in Chiba, Japan, Mr Blair emphasised the need for a "global deal".

The former prime minister has been joining international experts on climate change in a bid to drive forward efforts to reduce global carbon emissions.

Mr Blair said: "We have reached the critical moment of decision on climate change. There are few if any, genuine doubters left.

"Even on the mildest application of the precautionary principles, failure to act on climate change now would be deeply and unforgivably irresponsible."

Mr Blair's speech was delivered to the fourth ministerial meeting of the G8 Gleneagles Dialogue on Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development.

He is trying to guide attempts to secure a deal involving, crucially, China and the US in drawing up an action plan to slash emissions by 50% by 2050.

The initiative - featuring Sir Nicholas Stern, who conducted a review for the Government on the economic costs of climate change - is being launched in Japan over the weekend.

Mr Blair arrived in Tokyo this week as part of "Breaking The Climate Deadlock" which is taking him to Japan, China and India for talks with business and political figures.

The project is being conducted by The Climate Group, an independent body which works internationally with government and business leaders to advance climate change solutions.

It seems to be getting even more ridiculous.

Next decade 'may see no warming'

By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website

The Earth's temperature may stay roughly the same for a decade, as natural climate cycles enter a cooling phase, scientists have predicted.

A new computer model developed by German researchers, reported in the journal Nature, suggests the cooling will counter greenhouse warming.

However, temperatures will again be rising quickly by about 2020, they say....

OUR CHANGING CLIMATE

"IT IS possible that significant climatic changes may have been anthropogenically induced as early as [one million] years ago," says Cornell University's Carl Sagan and Owen B.Toon and James B.Pollack of NASA-Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. "In contrast to the prevailing view that only modern humans are able to alter the climate, we believe it is more likely that the human species has made a substantial and continuing impact on climate since the invention of fire."

Reporting in December 21 Science, these researchers base their conclusions on man's proclivity for altering the earth's surface. Early man set fires to clear brush, to make hunting easier, to improve pastures and to wage war. Agricultural peoples destroyed forests to expand grazing and farming land.

Today we do much the same thing. Our means may be different, but the results are the same. "The most significant difference between human impact on the environment in the present technological era and during the agricultural and hunting eras is an increase in diversity and rate of change rather than extent."

Globally, modifications in land use affect the reflectivity of the earth's surface which in turn affects global circulation and thereby climate. The leading cause of climate changes is desertification, the researchers say. They estimate that nine million square kilometers or 1.8 percent of the earth's surface has been changed into desert by overgrazing or other destruction of vegetation or overpopulation. Areas changed into desert by human hands include the Rajasthan Desert in India, the Sahel south of the Sahara, Lebanon and parts of Iraq.

Deforestation, they suggest, may have been responsible for the extreme cold period in the northern hemisphere known as the Little Ice Age (1430-1850).

However, none of this changes the doom and gloom of the predictions made for the future of our earth. The continuing deforestation, particularly in the Amazon, poses a major threat to global climate. Satellite studies of both ancient and modern land modification are needed, these men say.

"Such work holds the promise not only of elucidating past climate changes and their possible human origin, but also of providing insight into the climate of the future," they say.

Scientists exaggerate climate-change fears, majority of Britons believe

By Daily Mail Reporter

Last updated at 6:12 PM on 22nd June 2008

Most British people still do not think climate change is caused by humans, according to a poll.

Many of those interviewed also believe scientists are exaggerating the ‘global warming’ phenomenon, according to the Ipsos MORI survey.

The views contradict numerous scientific opinions, including a report last year by more than 2,500 scientists for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which found a 90 per cent chance that humans were the main cause of climate change...............
