The Anti-Bali
"Garbage in — gospel out." That's how astrophysicist and geoscientist Willie Soon described the process of the United Nations' IPCC using computer models to prop up the global warming hoax at the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change, which concluded this week in New York City. Marc Sheppard reports:
Granting a long overdue forum to noted dissenting scientists, economists and policy experts from around the world, the Heartland Institute-sponsored symposium at the Marriott Marquis offered welcomed reasoned analysis as alternative to last December's hysterical circus which was Bali. It also served as the perfect launch point for a long-awaited un-IPCC report — Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate: Summary for Policymakers of the Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change [PDF].
Compiling the work of over 20 prominent fellow researchers, editor Fred Singer's NIPCC report distinguishes itself from the recent IPCC Fourth Assessment (AR4) and its predecessors in that it was not pre-programmed to "support the hypotheses of anthropogenic warming (AGW) and the control of greenhouse gases." Instead, the nearly 50 page document is a non-political authoritative rebuttal to the multi-government controlled IPCC's "errors and outright falsehoods" regarding warming's measurement, likely drivers, and overall impact.
Among the highlights were explanations as to why so many corporations are on board with a hoax that threatens to cripple the economy.
[T]he founder of junkscience.com explained GE's double-dipping ability to manufacture and sell windmills while receiving government subsidies for doing so. And how, under proposed cap-and-trade plans, companies like Alcoa and DOW will be eligible for retroactive carbon credits for emission abatements they've accomplished in the past. Oh, and who do you suppose owns the exchange where these carbon credits will be traded? Can you spell Goldman Sachs?
The appeal of the hoax for bureauweenies is more obvious. In the words of climate scientist Dr. Richard Lindzen:
Controlling Carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon you control life.
Predictably, the conference was trashed by the liberal media, to the extent it was covered at all. After all, they have a "consensus" to maintain.
On a tip from Oiao.

This says it all doesn't it?

Can the climate change ?
How is the climate changing ?
Is it getting warmer?
Is it possible that the actions of 6 billion humans can alter their environment ?
If the planet was getting warmer might the behavior of the 6 billion be ONE of the causes ?
GOLDMAN SACHS !!! is this another one of the Jewish conspiracies like socialism ?

1>You forgot to ask "does THE SUN factor into the equation?"
2>"Is it getting warmer?" It WAS, but now it seems to be getting COLDER.
3>Goldman Sachs is in the business of making money, or so I hear. I also hear that "global warming" is where you can make a LOT of money, scamming the public.
I think that covers the more important questions you asked, john.

John Ryan,
Can the climate change ?
Science shows that it has always been changing, in a cyclical fashion.
How is the climate changing ?
The climate of the earth changes in direct correlation to the solar activity, and occasionally volcanic activity or an asteroid impact. Notably, the temperatures on the other planets in our solar system are also tracking this change. Are we causing that?
Is it getting warmer?
For the past 100 years, yes. This appears that it may be turning around. Coincidentally (to leftists) the solar activity is also diminishing.
Is it possible that the actions of 6 billion humans can alter their environment ?
Human activity has a negligible affect on the earth's climate
If the planet was getting warmer might the behavior of the 6 billion be ONE of the causes ?
Negligible.
GOLDMAN SACHS !!! is this another one of the Jewish conspiracies like socialism ?
No.

Good answers Lyle, but maybe we should institute draconian internationalist-socialist regulations and massive income re-distribution programs, you know, just in case. And nevermind that these taxes and restrictions wouldn't help even if the warmers' theories were correct.

Squaring the circle a little further, Goldman Sachs has donated nearly $2 million (a 71% to 29% split) so far this election cycle to... Democrats. Transperancy sure is great.

You shouldn't indulge the kid's table guys, but since you bring it up, is it just some strange coincidence that not only does the Earth have one single ideal temperature, but that this temperature happens to be the temperature that prevailed during the youth of the baby-boom generation?
Is it also a coincidence that the UN and government organizations pay millions to climate scienticians who come back and claim that not only is global warming real, but the only solution is... for UN and government organizations to receive vastly greater amounts of money and power?

Why can't a single Algorian moonbat tell us why all the other planets (and their moons) are also "suffering" global warming without a single human being present?
Diphits? Anybody???? Algore got your tongue???
Freakin' idiots.

Let's not forget that the sun itself appears to be going through some changes as well. Real science is watching that closely, but I have figured out a solution. We send a space shuttle full of Moonbats with the Goracle leading the team straight to the sun to figure it all out! Then we'll all be saved!
