''The Deceit Behind Global Warming''

I didn't write this. Wish I could have been part of it, but I wasn't . Those who did write it and contribute deserve praise and honor. Regrettably, so long as scam artists like Al Gore and his co-liars have free rein, that's unlikely. But sometimes doing the right thing is its own reward.
And the title of the article in the UK's Telegraph expresses much. Thus: The deceit behind global warming. To quote a few lines,

The story of how the panic over climate change was pushed to the top of the international agenda falls into five main stages. Stage one came in the 1970s when many scientists expressed alarm over what they saw as a disastrous change in the earth's climate. Their fear was not of warming but global cooling, of "a new Ice Age".

For three decades, after a sharp rise in the interwar years up to 1940, global temperatures had been falling. The one thing certain about climate is that it is always changing. Since we began to emerge from the last Ice Age 20,000 years ago, temperatures have been through significant swings several times. The hottest period occurred around 8,000 years ago and was followed by a long cooling. Then came what is known as the "Roman Warming", coinciding with the Roman empire. Three centuries of cooling in the Dark Ages were followed by the "Mediaeval Warming", when the evidence agrees the world was hotter than today.

While we're at it, check out Michael Crichton on The Case for Skepticism on Global Warming , a speech delivered a few years ago and ignored by the Gorebots. The subhead is

Michael's detailed explanation of why he criticizes global warming scenarios. Using published UN data, he reviews why claims for catastrophic warming arouse doubt; why reducing CO2 is vastly more difficult than we are being told; and why we are morally unjustified to spend vast sums on this speculative issue when around the world people are dying of starvation and disease.

We realize that there will always be fools. Normally they are kept out of sight and prevented from intruding into the business of honest people. When they are not only out in the open, but busily attempting to reorder the world to conform to their fevered imaginations, adults need to take matters in hand. It's bad enough that Gore's corrupt dad managed to deed a Senate seat to his idiot son, it's worse that it revealed that there are so many either equally stupid or simply that far gone in Luddism and willful blindness. But that seems to be the most likely explanation for some of the unfettered mischief that the Gorebots and their allies seem to be bent upon.
