Al Gore's Love Muffin

It appears the Global Warming Express is in the process of derailing. The US Senate Environment and Public Works Committee’s just yanked another rail from the tracks with this report.

U.S. Senate Report: Over 400 Prominent Scientists

Disputed Man-Made Global Warming Claims in 2007
Senate Report Debunks "Consensus"

I'll bet this doesn't receive anywhere near as much press as the hysterical sisters in Bali crying over the terrible fate awaiting Mother Gaia if we don't start loving her the way she deserves.

Poor Mama Gaia. She'll end up in a truck stop outside Butte, Montana, with a squalling, hungry child at her breast, no clean diapers and Al Gore's love muffin baking in her oven.

This blockbuster Senate report lists the scientists by name, country of residence, and academic/institutional affiliation. It also features their own words, biographies, and weblinks to their peer reviewed studies and original source materials as gathered from public statements, various news outlets, and websites in 2007. This new “consensus busters” report is poised to redefine the debate.

Many of the scientists featured in this report consistently stated that numerous colleagues shared their views, but they will not speak out publicly for fear of retribution. Atmospheric scientist Dr. Nathan Paldor, Professor of Dynamical Meteorology and Physical Oceanography at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, author of almost 70 peer-reviewed studies, explains how many of his fellow scientists have been intimidated.

“Many of my colleagues with whom I spoke share these views and report on their inability to publish their skepticism in the scientific or public media,” Paldor wrote.

Just more of the liberal lovin' extended to people who do not agree with the We Are All Going To Die hype. It's a new version of the Emperor's New Clothes only he ain't bare-assed, parading down Fifth Avenue. Now it is Al Gore in drag wearing an environmentally friendly thong with his carbon offset-lined ermine cloak.

This new report details how teams of international scientists are dissenting from the UN IPCC’s view of climate science. In such nations as Germany, Brazil, the Netherlands, Russia, New Zealand and France nations, scientists banded together in 2007 to oppose climate alarmism. In addition, over 100 prominent international scientists sent an open letter in December 2007 to the UN stating attempts to control climate were “futile.”

Paleoclimatologist Dr. Tim Patterson, professor in the department of Earth Sciences at Carleton University in Ottawa, recently converted from a believer in man-made climate change to a skeptic. Patterson noted that the notion of a “consensus” of scientists aligned with the UN IPCC or former Vice President Al Gore is false.

“I was at the Geological Society of America meeting in Philadelphia in the fall and I would say that people with my opinion were probably in the majority.”

This new committee report, a first of its kind, comes after the UN IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri implied that there were only “about half a dozen” skeptical scientists left in the world. Former Vice President Gore has claimed that scientists skeptical of climate change are akin to “flat Earth society members” and similar in number to those who “believe the moon landing was actually staged in a movie lot in Arizona.”

It doesn't surprise me that those who support global warming cannot distinguish between a half dozen yahoos and 400 hundred prominent internationally respected scientists. And that movie lot in Arizona is nothing compared to the fever swamp that spawned the howling zealots seeking to drive a CO2 stake into the heart of our great nation's economic development as they segue into the latest release of Bali The Economy Slayer.

The over 400 skeptical scientists featured in this new report outnumber by nearly eight times the number of scientists who participated in the 2007 UN IPCC Summary for Policymakers. The notion of “hundreds” or “thousands” of UN scientists agreeing to a scientific statement does not hold up to scrutiny. (See report debunking “consensus” LINK) Recent research by Australian climate data analyst Dr. John McLean revealed that the IPCC’s peer-review process for the Summary for Policymakers leaves much to be desired.

Proponents of man-made global warming like to note how the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the American Meteorological Society (AMS) have issued statements endorsing the so-called "consensus" view that man is driving global warming. But both the NAS and AMS never allowed member scientists to directly vote on these climate statements. Essentially, only two dozen or so members on the governing boards of these institutions produced the "consensus" statements.

The most recent attempt to imply there was an overwhelming scientific “consensus” in favor of man-made global warming fears came in December 2007 during the UN climate conference in Bali. A letter signed by only 215 scientists urged the UN to mandate deep cuts in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. But absent from the letter were the signatures of these alleged “thousands” of scientists. (See AP article: - LINK )

Once again Al Gore and his faithful, drooling sidekick, the UN, strike a blow for fear mongering, profiteering and the endangered carbon offset.
