Global Warming Alarmism is Unacceptable and Should be Confronted

[Trance]

I seem to recall Al Gore saying the opponents of Global Warming should be arrested and put in jail.

I never heard him say that, but I did hear him compare AGW skeptics to Holocaust deniers.

I did hear him say that. When I have some free time (at work, right now) I will attempt to find the link

It seems no matter what facTS come out to refute global warming I still see the global warming crowd claim that all of it is proof of global warming.

Snow first time in a hundred years yep global warming

Ice building up fast in the Arctic yep more global warming.

And so on

Heck, it snowed in BAGHDAD for the first time in recorded history, and they still go around parroting their AGW crap.

I think that was James Hansen.

I stand corrected

This week, Hansen lowered the bar even further. Threatening job loss is so last year. Now Hansen wants to criminalize the questioning of the global warming consensus. He is asking for the CEO’s of “Big Oil” to be put on trial for high crimes against humanity and nature, accusing them of actively spreading doubt about global warming. Seriously.

Global Warming Alarmism is Unacceptable and Should be Confronted

EXCERPT:

Many thanks for the invitation and for the opportunity to be here with all of you. I have visited the U.S. many times since the fall of communism in November 1989 when – after almost half a century – traveling to the free world became for people like me possible again, but I’ve never been to this beautiful city and to the state of Oregon before. Once again, thank you very much.

I am expected to talk here about global warming today (even though I don’t really feel it, especially not in this room) and my address will be devoted mostly to this issue. As you may expect Oregon is – for me – in this respect connected with the well-known Oregon petition which warned and keeps warning against the irrationality and one-sidedness of the global warming campaign. Rational people know that the warming we experience is well within the range of what seems to have been a natural fluctuation over the last ten thousand years. We should keep saying this very loudly.

READ THE REST OF HIS SPEECH HERE

There are many scientists who disagree with the global warming theory. But since scientists in the 70's looked out the window one summer and noticed it was colder than the summer before, they said we were headed toward another ice age. So scientists aren't any more psychic than weathermen. They simply occasionally get "delusions of grandeur" thinking they are.

Hansen, one of NASA’s greatest failures and embarrassments. The hands on folks at the Space Center have no use for him.

Yeah I have read in a few places.That he is not respected for what he is doing.

A highly political scientist with a growing history of data manipulation of temperature trends.

JPL/NASA is a better place for climate information.
