seems they`ve been lying to us !

[beowulf]

Just like in the Wizard of Oz, the curtain was torn back and leading proponents of anthropogenic (people caused) global warming have been caught lying
Called Climategate, the scandal exposes the global warming shysters who are conning the public into a massive restructuring of the global economy, while attempting to silence any dissent. But don?t expect to see this in our mainstream media, because they are the spinsters who promote this manipulation of data and propaganda.

With Obama preparing to head to Copenhagen for UN meetings on global warming, expect to see ?green? propaganda exponentially increasing.
The scandal all began when an anonymous person accessed the computers at the University of East Anglia?s Climate Research Unit in England, releasing 61 megabites of confidential files, including 1079 e-mails and 72 documents onto the internet. These files are a wealth of information.
The most damning indictment of proponents of global warming hysteria is a long series of communications discussing how best to squeeze dissenting scientists out of the peer review process. The e-mails even included fantasies of violence against those who question anthropogenic global warming. These e-mails show disturbing patterns of ?Conspiracy, collusion in exaggerating warming data, possibly illegal destruction of embarrassing information, organized resistance to disclosure, manipulation of data, private admissions of flaws in their public claims and much more,? says Australian Sun?s, Andrew Bolt.
Man-made global warming hysteria has long been fueled by people using junk science, fear and hyperbole to support an agenda that they personally profit from. As they attempt to lead the world into a green revolution, these propagandists are hiding the truth that the average global temperature has fallen since 1998.
The leading profiteering propagandist is Al Gore. After losing the presidential election in 2000, Al Gore became the leader of the hysteria movement. However, this ?Eco-Prophet? has hidden a few inconvenient truths of his own. He just happens to be involved with a venture capital firm that has invested approximately a billion dollars in green companies that stand to make a bundle if Obama's Cap-and-Trade bill becomes law.
Reports state that Gore?s net worth now stands at $100 Million, when it was $2 million when he left politics. He?s laughing all the way to the bank.
Al Gore has a history of playing loose with the facts.
Recently on TV, while discussing Geo-thermal energy, Al Gore made the outrageous claim that ?the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees.? However, the actual temperature here on earth is between 5,000 and 9,000 degrees. This is a gaffe that if Sarah Palin had made, the media would ridicule as her stupid.
Speaking of hypocrisy, Al Gore is a living embodiment of it. As he lectures the world on energy use, and lobbies Congress to regulate productive American companies out of business, Gore consumes more than twenty times more energy as the average American, according to the Tennessee Center for Policy Research. This doesn?t count the energy consumption of his jet.
Gore?s Inconvenient Truth is full of instances where he plays loose with the facts. A 2007 British court ruled that Gore's film has nine significant refutable errors. These are examples of Gore?s scare tactics to induce the public to take radical action (to his financial benefit.)
Not only is Gore prone to hyperbole, hypocrisy and blatant distortions, he is also a bully. Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT, wrote about scientists being "in the crosshairs" of Gore, who "tried to bully" them into changing "their views and supporting his climate alarmism." Lindzen also refers to a failed Gore effort to "enlist Ted Koppel (then a TV host) in a witch hunt to discredit anti-alarmist scientists."
When one side tries to shut another side out of the debate, it is typically because they feel their arguments won?t stand up to scrutiny.
These propagandists use various tactics. A favorite is to make people feel guilty if they don?t jump on the ?green? bandwagon, and those who do, feel good are praised for helping the environment. Obama is an expert at this tactic.
Open your eyes to these manipulators of data and people, who while acting like do-gooders, see great (green as in money) gain.

Trust is a funny thing. If someone hands me a gun saying it's not loaded, first thing I do is check it to see if it's loaded. I don't care if it's my best friend, my wife or son, a policeman, or a preacher...I check it. And when I hand a gun to someone, I always tell them it's loaded even if it's not. I might be lying to them...they can't trust me. Reagan had it right, trust but verify.

I trust politicians. I trust them to lie, cheat, steal and do anything to stay in power.

Hopefully, this information leak will put a cog in the so-called "green" machine. I'm all for conservation and protecting our environment, I just hate to see it become a political football for which people will lie, cheat, and steal. They're doing harm to any hope for real environmental protection. Want to find out how to protect the environment? Ask a woodman or a hunter, not a political activist.

While I may or may not agree, I must remind you that we don't discuss politics here.  It only leads to arguments.  Just a reminder

[n5lyc]

no politics, it is a known fact that the Earth has gone through hot & cold periods in its past lasting tens of thousands of years each, in fairly even cycles, we happen to be in the warming cycle and there is nothing man can do about it.

humans have been on the earth only a few thousand years, merely a drop in the bucket of Earth history.

true ! modern  humans have been around about 250,000 years , neanderthal a might longer ! they say cow farts are causing deterioration of the ozone layer , kinda makes you wonder what dinosaur farts did to it  ! unless we blow it up , the planet will still be here ,and probably still supporting life long after the creature called man ,has either left for the stars ,or gone extinct !
