Global Warming is BUNK!
Question:I have been reading your blog for a couple of months now. I have been trying to think of a really good question for you. I told a friend about you and he immediately said, "Ask him if global warming is real?" I thought, "great question." Is global warming a real thing or a political thing or both? Jeremy Jones, Lexington, Ky.
Answer: Global warming is primarily a "political thing." It is a ploy of the American democratic political party, with former Vice President Al Gore taking the podium, to create fear and guilt among non-thinking Americans. Most of the "science" that these people espouse is, to say the best about it, suspect.
One ironic thing about all this is that many of the "experts" who are now predicting a global warming trend were, in the early 1970s, predicting an ice age by the year 2000. The American democratic party was on that bandwagon also. Look back at magazines from the early 1970s and you will be shocked at all the articles of "doom and gloom" for the upcoming ice age. And, of course, it was primarily man's fault (mostly that of Americans) and there was nothing we could do to stop it. I thought it was all a bunch of baloney then as I am convinced that global warming is now.
Jeremy, there are literally dozens and dozens, if not hundreds and thousands, of real scientists who think extremely little of Al Gore's "science." Look at what some say. Professor Bob Carter of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at Cook University, in Australia, said, "Gore's circumstantial arguments are so weak that they are pathetic. The man is an embarrassment to U.S. science. His propaganda crusade is mostly based on junk science." This is not a republican politician speaking. Richard Lindzen, Professor of Atmospheric Science at M.I.T., said, "Don't believe the hype. Al Gore is wrong. There is no consensus on global warming." On Friday, September 21 (a date I will mention later for another reason), at the United Nations, Gore stated that cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming." And he was serious. The man is an absolute joke. Professor Tim Patterson, a paleoclimatalogist at Carleton University, said, "Change in the brightness of the sun correlates with the Earth's temperatures. The sun has been brighter than normal lately." Professor Wibjorn Karlen, of the Department of Physical Geography at Stockholm University, said, "The mass balance of Antartica is positive. More snow is accumulating than melting off." One of the major concepts of the global warming people is that ice is melting in Antartica. It is melting but it is being replaced at a faster rate than it is melting. There is a net positive gain. I could present dozens more examples of scientists who find no scientific support for the concept of global warming but I think the point has been made.
Briefly, Jeremy, let's look at the democrats' willing allies in this global warming "thing." The mass media has jumped on this and completely supports it and talks about it as though it were an established scientific fact. They hope to make it a fact through repetition rather than science.
The media, as the democrats' mouthpiece, present things to the public as though they were scientific fact when, in reality, they simply are not. For example, the media repeatedly presents the Kyoto Accords as a scientifically-based treaty. Only the "backward republicans" kept the United States from agreeing to this "wonderful forward-looking" treaty. The truth is that, in April 1998, over 17,000 scientists with academic degrees, signed a petition in opposition to the Kyoto Accords. But the global warming people and the American mass media do not want the general public to be aware of this fact.
Let me give you another simple example of media bias regarding global warming. During the summer of 2006, there were numerous reports in the media of record high temperatures. The summer of 2006 is now in the record books as having the second highest temperatures on record. (The highest summer temperatures on record are for the year 1934.) However, on September 21 (still officially summer), six states had record low temperatures (Arizona, Utah, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia). Did the media have big headlines telling about record low temperatures? Of course not.
Jeremy, changes in temperatures are a natural cycle of nature. There is plenty of scientific evidence that most glaciers, around the world, are growing in size, not decreasing as the global warming people and the media would have us think. In Norway, Canada, Switzerland, Ecuador, Russia, New Zealand, Argentina, Greenland and the U.S., glaciers are all growing in size. This is not a political opinion but a scientific fact.
Another interesting scientific fact that the global warming people and the mass media do not want the general public to know is that a single volcano can produce more toxic emissions into the atmosphere in one single week than all human activity combined produces in a year. When there are several volcanoes erupting around the globe, it is easy to see how insignificant the human contribution to atmospheric conditions actually is.
I could continue like this for a long time but I hope you get the point. I could have simply stated that the concept of man causing global warming to the Earth is bunk. But I wanted to give you some scientific facts and the thoughts of other scientists to support why I think it is bunk.

Finally! You are saying what I think the evidence supports. On most college campuses it is simply not politically correct to oppose Al Gore. I saw his silly movie and it was, if nothing else, stupid. I love your phrase "non-thinking Americans." That is exactly who global warming is designed to reach. A thinking person will quickly realize that it is all "bunk." Well said!
I saw Al Gore on the David Letterman show and the audience kept applauding him as though he were saying wise things. He emphatically stated that global warming was now accepted as a scientific fact. He said that there was a consensus among scientists that it is real.
In reference and response to Mr. Wilfred's comments: I certainly hope you don't confuse entertainment with news. Simply because someone says something is true does not make it true. As Dr. Andrews stated, scientists do not accept global warming as a fact and there is no consensus among scientists. The "applaud" sign was probably flashing everytime Gore said something. You certainly shouldn't use that as a gauge of anything.
I have read what you said about volcanoes before. It is true that they put much more pollution into the atmosphere than humans. I really appreciate your statement on global warming. I have used it to show some of my liberal friends.
I can't believe this. I saw an article from a Sydney, Australia newspaper today (March 13, 2007) in which it tells about some of the errors and mistakes in Al Gore's documentary. This article says pretty much the same thing you said back in October 2006. It was pointing out that scientists definitely do not agree with Gore and the man-caused global warming crisis they are predicting. Thought you might be curious to know that you have been agreed with.
A friend of mine just told me all about a British documentary that proves that Gore's documentary is completely inaccurate. It stated that man puts, at most, 4% of the carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The ocean and volcanoes put the majority. Man has no control over them. You were right back in October 2006. It looks like this British documentary supports your position completely, Dr. Andrews.
