It (The U.N.) finds that “global warming
caused by humans has almost certainly (or, as we used to say,
“definitely maybe”) contributed to recent shifts in ecosystems, weather
patterns, oceans and icy regions”, (such as what? I still need hard data
that there has been recent shifts in ecosystems, recent shifts in
weather patterns and recent shifts in the oceans and icy regions – SHOW
ME THE DATA) and that it will have large and lasting effects on human
affairs and on the planet’s web of life in this century” (ITS1-10WC).

Scientists who dissent from the alarmism have seen their grant funds disappear, their work derided, and themselves libeled as industry stooges, scientific hacks or worse. Consequently, lies about climate change gain credence even when they fly in the face of the science that supposedly is their basis. BY RICHARD LINDZEN
"The new evidence shows that political interference in climate science is no longer a series of isolated incidents but a system-wide epidemic," Dr. Francesca Grifo, Director of the UCS Scientific Integrity Program, said in a press release. "Tailoring scientific fact for political purposes has become a problem across many federal science agencies."

"So one awkward question you can ask, when you’re forking out those extra taxes for climate change, is “Why is east Antarctica getting colder?” It makes no sense at all if carbon dioxide is driving global warming. While you’re at it, you might inquire whether Gordon Brown will give you a refund if it’s confirmed that global warming has stopped. "
Global Warming -- just that term evokes many members in this chamber, the media, Hollywood elites and our pop culture to nod their heads and fret about an impending climate disaster. As the senator who has spent more time speaking about the facts regarding global warming, I want to address some of the recent media coverage of global warming and Hollywood’s involvement in the issue. And of course I will also discuss former Vice President Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Scientists who questioned mankind's impact on climate change have received death threats and claim to have been shunned by the scientific community.

Al Gore has spoken: The world must embrace a "carbon-neutral lifestyle."
To do otherwise, he says, will result in a cataclysmic catastrophe.
"Humanity is sitting on a ticking time bomb," warns the website for his
film, An Inconvenient Truth. "We have just 10 years to avert a major
catastrophe that could send our entire planet into a tailspin."
Public records reveal that as Gore lectures Americans on excessive
consumption, he and his wife Tipper live in two properties: a
10,000-square-foot, 20-room, eight-bathroom home in Nashville, and a
4,000-square-foot home in Arlington, Va. (He also has a third home in
Carthage, Tenn.) For someone rallying the planet to pursue a path of
extreme personal sacrifice, Gore requires little from himself.
Wrong. It’s entirely impossible.
