Christopher Monckton says in the July 2009 issue of SPPI Monthly CO2 Report that it simply cannot be credibly argued that anthropogenic global warming is some kind of catastrophe warranting the sacrifice of our freedom and prosperity. Temperature change predicted by the UN, and (dotted line) adjusted to reflect the negligible impact of the Waxman/Markey Climate Bill, which might cut temperatures by 0.2-0.02 F by 2100, at a cost of $18 trillion. Source: Chip Knappenberger: cost estimates $180 bn/year from the White House. No longer can it be credibly argued that "global warming" is worse than previously thought. No longer can it be argued that "global warming" was, is, or will be any sort of global crisis. Recent papers in the peer-reviewed literature, combined with streams of data from satellites and thermometers, now provide a complete picture of why it is that the UN's climate panel, the worldwide political class, and other "global warming" profiteers are wrong in their assumption that the enterprises of humankind will disastrously warm the Earth. The global surface temperature record, which we update and publish every month, has shown no statistically-significant "global warming" for almost 15 years. Statistically-significant global cooling has now persisted for very nearly eight years. Even a strong El Nino - expected in the coming months - will be unlikely to reverse the cooling trend. More significantly, the ARGO bathythermographs deployed throughout the world's oceans since 2003 show that the top 400 fathoms of the oceans, where it is agreed between all parties that at least 80% of all heat caused by manmade "global warming" must accumulate, have been cooling over the past six years. That now prolonged ocean cooling is fatal to the "official" theory that "global warming" will happen on anything other than a minute scale. Even before this, there was a host of information that tells any reasonable person that the hypothesis of anthropogenic global warming is full of hot air and nothing else. As Melanie Phillips at the Spectator points out, claims of "consensus" are a joke (as does the 30,000 scientists who have signed the Oregon Petition against anthropogenic global warming) based on sloppy, flawed and disingenuous "science." This includes Al Gore's favorite toy: the discredited "hockey stick." As I said a couple of days ago as I cataloged just a few of those facts: If Greenland was warm enough 1,000 years ago (when there were no SUVs or power plants) to be colonized by the Vikings and sustain vineyards, then the current state of the climate (when most of Greenland is covered by ice) cannot rationally be blamed on human activity. If temperature data going back hundreds of years (long before there were SUVs driven by evilcapitalists) tracks with solar activity (and it does) including colder and warmer periods, then the current global temperatures cannot rationally be blamed on human activity. If NASA data agrees with other data that solar activity is cyclic and corresponds to global temperature (and it does), then the current global temperatures cannot rationally be blamed on human activity. When we see solar activity diminish, and we see global temperatures level off correspondingly (while human industrial activity has not diminished), then recent global warming cannot be rationally blamed on human activity. If historical examination of the Peruvian ice cap shows higher global temperatures in the past (when there were no SUVs and coal-burning power plants), then the current global temperatures cannot rationally be blamed on human activity. If other planets like Mars and Jupiter (where there are no evil capitalist-driven SUVs and coal-burning power plants) are warming, too (and they are), then current global temperatures on earth cannot be rationally blamed on human activity. Even the claims of Gore and other earth-worshippers that there is "consensus" and this is "settled science" are a farce, with thousands of scientists refusing to drink the Koolaid and scientific organizations around the world declaring the emperor has no clothes, blowing claims of "consensus" completely out of the water. In other words, if we open our eyes and take a look around us and at history, and we see global temperatures and temperature changes in the past that obviously had nothing to do with human industrial activity (because there was no industrial activity), it quickly becomes apparent that the theory of anthropogenic global warming is ludicrous in the extreme. This is nothing but a manufactured "crisis" designed to (a) keep plenty of taxpayer-funded research dollars flowing to scientists and bureaucrats who would rather make an easy buck than do something useful, and (b) engineer the government control and wealth redistribution that socialists have long yearned for. The asinine cap and trade global warming tax passed in the House by a thin margin in June, and now socialists in the Senate are looking to sneak an even worse version of it past the American people. The socialists in congress either haven't figured out that this snake oil doesn't sell anymore and this record doesn't spin anymore, or they flat don't care that the American people see through their scam. But they're going to find out big-time at the voting booth if they insist on pushing this assault on the American people and our

Arguing about causes and politics about potential solutions does not address the real issue: global warming is a fact.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
No, it's an artificial "issue." NEVER has glow-bull warming, aka "climate change" not fluctuated - but go right ahead and turn in your Prius for a GM Rick-Shaw.
Somewhat like you riding around in a paper airplane, correct?
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Lot's of lying effs whose O2 supply should be terminated really soon.
OK, I'll play along for a minute. Please explain to me how O'boingo's Carbon Taxes and Goldman Sachs making billions of dollars per day trading Carbon Credits is going to "fix" the so-called problem. Thank you.
Yes, but it gets better... I'm not on a No-Fold paper airplane list.
I can't and have never alluded to suggest otherwise. The problem is not solvable by government force with the possible following exception: unless the increasing human population of the Earth is restricted from procreation. And you don't hear about that "fix" in Washington DC or the UN or anywhere, do you?
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
I just received a tax bill. I folded it after writing "liberator" on it making a paper airplane. It landed in the office trash can.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
You receive tax bills at your office? Anyway, that was good for a laugh, Buck. Btw, I'll fold one up for ya in your honor the next time airport security passes me through.
I was taken off the "no-fly list" by writing to my congresscritter, not just once but several times. Now, the TSA doesn't like me because I am hauling Captain Morgan in my saddle bags. Jesus Christ, if it isn't one thing it is another in this nation.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Several times? Did you have to repeat the reasons or develop variations? Hey, I met "Captain Morgan" at a spirits trade show a couple years ago. Gay, but the product passed my audition.
Have you tried Drambuie? What about Petron? Now, that is some good stuff .... just don't mix it all together.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Yeah, I've tried Drambuie...It's interesting if you're into whisky.. Petron? Who make that - Exxon? Nice combo....at NASCAR.
Petron is from Mexico ... it is a tequila; possibly the world's finest tequila to be sure. Damned good stuff if you want friends and family to know you intend business in the hot-tub.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Why waste it there? Doesn't Champagne say "business" better? It may be premium stuff, but these days I'm bypassing any food/drink made in Mexico/China. And I still don't know what the big deal is about Corona.
You can always tell premium alcohol by the fact there is a cork at the top of a bottle. From that baseline or benchmarck about my own choice of beverages should give a clue to the best stuff. And the money is no issue. It is quality no matter where it is from.
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Some quality sipping music here, buck.
I have friends coming over this evening. The plan is all about us discussing the world around us while we are sitting in the hot-tub. I am going to pipe your stuff into my backyard sound speaker system at about 100 dB. Hey! I am an American and damned proud of it, by GOD!
“Gold is the money of kings; silver is the money of gentlemen; barter is the money of peasants; but debt is the money of slaves.”
Here's another favorite. You're guaranteed to score!
what if ambitious jews have decided that russia is the best bet to make the world safe for ashkenazi supremacism?
I'd flip them a bagel with a smear and call it a deal!
you're okay with america being looted, and the proceeds going to buying russia. i mean, you cant buy the whole world to achieve your benevolent global hegemony, but america's shot its wad, and now it's time to move on.

"...The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States. We can't let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are.

Robbins "Global sustainability requires: the deliberate quest of poverty....reduced resource consumption...and set levels of mortality control." - Professor Maurice King "The environmentalist's dream is an Egalitarian society based on rejection of economic growth, a smaller population, eating lower on the food chain, consuming a lot less, and sharing a much lower level of resources much more equally." - Aaron Wildavsky "A global climate treaty must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the greenhouse effect." - Richard Benedict, State Dept./Conservation Foundation "Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun." - Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University "The secret to David McTaggart's(early officer in Greenpeace) success is the secret to Greenpeace's success: It doesn't matter what is true...it only matters what people believe is true...You are what the media define you to be. Greenpeace became a myth, and a myth-generating machine." - Paul Watson, co-founder of Greenpeace. "Complex technology of any sort is an assault on human dignity. It would be little short of disastrous for us to discover the source of clean, cheap, abundant energy, because of what we might do with it." - Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute "We've got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing--in terms of economic policy and environmental policy." - Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator(D-Colorado) "We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects....We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land." - David Foreman, Earth First "The collective needs of non-human species must take precedence over the needs and desires of humans." - Dr. Reed F.

They are talking about emission control devices on automobiles, while we are talking about bans on automobiles." - Dennis Hayes, Earth Day Agenda "The invention of the concept of sustainable human development and that of so-called human security, as opposed to territorial security of nation-states, and its promotion by the UN is in clear contradiction to all that we, the Group of 77, and the UN Charter itself consider inalienable, namely national sovereignty and security." - Pranab Mukherjee, India's Minister Of Commerce- Earth Times, Oct.15,1994 "It's(the prospect of cheap fusion energy) the worst thing that could happen to the planet." - Jeremy Rifkin "If I were reincarnated, I would wish to be returned to Earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." - Prince Phillip, World Wildlife Fund "Christianity is our foe.
