Stop Al Gore Before He Lies Again
and Again and Again!
By Alan Caruba
27 Feb 10 - (Excerpts) - The New York Times once again is Al Gore’s
“enabler”, publishing a February 28 opinion editorial, “We Can’t Wish
Away Climate Change”, despite the mounting evidence that global warming
was and is a complete fabrication.
In November 2009, the Telegraph, a British newspaper, carried a story,
“Al Gore could become world’s first carbon billionaire”, so let us
disabuse ourselves of the notion that Gore just wants to save the world.
Heavily invested in the “carbon credits” scam and technologies whose
success depend on people believing fairy tales about “clean energy”
alternatives such as wind and solar energy, Gore has enriched himself by
trumpeting the biggest hoax of the modern era.
There is increasing discussion of whether testimony before Congress by
Gore and other global warming advocates constitute criminal behavior
that begins with lying under oath.
On February 24th The Washington Times reported on a hearing of the
Senate Environmental and Public Works Committee hearing on the
Environmental Protection Agency’s budget. “Republican James Inhofe told
EPA head, Lisa Jackson, that man-made climate change was a ‘hoax’
concocted by ideologically motivated researchers who ‘cooked the
science.’”
“More than that, Inhofe in releasing a GOP report questioning the
science used to support cap-and-trade legislation, hinted that such
activities may be part of a vast criminal enterprise designed to bilk
governments, taxpayers and investors while enriching those making the
false claims.”
The global warming hoax has been sustained for decades by reports from
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, (IPCC) an agency of the
United Nations Environmental Program.
Key players, the scientists who controlled and
provided the data to support global warming, Phil Jones, head of
Britain’s Climate Research Unit, and Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State
University, are just two currently under investigation for allegedly
deliberately providing and publishing falsified climate data.
Does that deter Al Gore? The very first paragraph of his opinion
editorial claimed that the planet faces “an unimaginable calamity
requiring large-scale preventative measures to protect human
civilization as we know it.”
He wrote this knowing that data from weather satellites have shown
little warming trend of the atmosphere since 1979!
He wrote that “January was seen as unusually cold in much of the United
States. Yet from a global perspective, it was the second-hottest January
since surface temperatures were first measured 130 years ago.” Rubbish.
He based that on the claim of a single Australian scientist that came
from the same garbage can of equally absurd claims put forth for
decades.
In a similar fashion, IPCC claims that the Himalayan glaciers were
melting and the countless other claims attributed to global warming were
based on inaccurate, often deliberately distorted computer models and
from dubious sources.
When you use bad data you get bad results. When you use it to enrich
yourself, you are engaged in an activity worthy of a criminal
investigation.
