Climate Deniers

Here are the facts: The ONLY issue that is "debated" by climatologists is the range, scope, and severity of global climate change NOT whether it is happening or not, or how much of it is anthropogenic. The only ones that are doubting it is man made at all or that it is a hoax are not skeptics, they are CRANKS.

Quite literally, some of the same scientists that "proved" that cigarettes are healthy and nutritious are the same being paid by the oil industry to mislead the hysterical and ignorant.

Climate Cover-Up: The Crusade to Deny Global Warming







The root core is that too many in the public are far too suceptible to "experts" who have lots of letters after their name. They will whip up hysteria of things that are not even a real threat, while misleading from issues that are pressing and urgent.

Bin Laden and Climate Change?!?!

Bin Laden is now making more sense than even our corporate and political leaders. Until we have a concerted effort to bring down capitalism and its ravages there cannot be even the hope for any freedom or liberty.

Dispelling Some Global Warming Myths

Critics of Climate Change (so-called "Climate Change Deniers") suggest that weather records have only been kept for the past century and a half. However, this is a bit misleading. First of all, it's a bit ethnocentric. In other regions in the world, some sorts of weather records have been kept for thousands of years, albeit not in the scientific and focused way it's done today. Furthermore, because there aren't such exact human artifacts of numbers left DOES NOT MEAN that we don't know what climate and weather patterns and atmospheric content was in the past.

For example cores taken of the earth's crust reveal considerable climate information. Ice cores taken in glaciers track climate, weather, and atmospheric conditions GOING BACK 100,000 OF YEARS!! We can even extrapolate the flux of CO2 in the atmosphere over this extremely long time period!
