They even came up with a clever little title - "deniers."
Every time a heat wave hits, every time a picture of a lone polar bear gets taken . . . the left pounds the table for environmental reform, more policy, more money to combat climate change. But how much has the world really warmed?
Their message is simple: Get on the man-made global warming bandwagon . . . or you're just ignorant.But how much has the world really warmed?
It's an important question, considering the U.S. government spends $22 billion a year to fight the global warming crisis (twice as much as it spends protecting our border).
To put that in perspective, that is $41,856 every minute going to global warming initiatives.
But that's just the tip of a gargantuan iceberg.
According to Forbes columnist Larry Bell, the ripple effect of global warming initiatives actually costs Americans $1.75 trillion . . . every year.
That's three times larger than the entire U.S. federal budget deficit.
So, has anyone stopped to ask . . . how much has the globe actually warmed?
Well, we asked, and what we found was striking.
According to NASA's own data via Remote Sensing Systems(RSS), the world has warmed a mere .36 degrees Fahrenheit over the last 35 years (they started measuring the data in 1979).
Hardly anything to panic about; however, that does mean the world is warmer, right?
The problem with that argument is that we experienced the bulk of that warming between 1979 and 1998 . . . since then, we've actually had temperatures DROPPING!
Weakening the global warming argument is data showing that the North Polar ice cap is increasing in size. Recent satellite images from NASA actually reflect an increase of 43% to 63%.
This is quite the opposite of what the global warming faction warned us.
In 2007, while accepting his Nobel Prize for his global warming initiative, Al Gore made this striking prediction, "The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff. It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now."
Al Gore could not have been more wrong.
However, despite this clear evidence that the temperatures are not increasing, the global warming hysteria only seems to be increasing.
Since then, it has become clear that this statistic was inaccurate.
The Wall Street Journal went as far as to say, "The assertion that 97% of scientists believe that climate change is a man-made, urgent problem is a fiction." Forbes headlined "Global Warming Alarmists Caught Doctoring '97% Consensus' Claims."
Come to find out, the study President Obama was citing was botched from the start.
A host of other problems for the global warming crowd are emerging, such as . . .
- Leaked emails from global warming scientists state that the Earth is not warming, such as this one from Kevin Trenberth that states, "The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty we can't."
- Claude Allegre, the founding father of the man-made global warming ethos, recently renounced his position that man has caused warming.
- Proof is emerging that Al Gore and even President Obama have financially benefited from fueling the global warming hysteria.
Which makes one wonder - why are we still spending $22 billion a year on global warming initiatives, and where is the money going?
The climate models are all laughably inaccurate computer simulations that don't even vaguely match evidence and have zero predictive value.
However, so-called 'anthropogenic global warming' hasn't occurred, so corrupt 'climate scientists' dropped that embarrassing phrase in favor of 'climate change', while still clinging to the fiction that the earth is growing warmer due to a slowly rising level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
But the actual level of CO2 in the atmosphere is only about 350 to 400 parts per million, or at most 0.04 percent. That's merely four hundredths of one percent, or just four molecules of CO2 for every 10,000 atoms of air, which is mostly nitrogen plus much less oxygen, other trace gasses.
It is simply absurd to think that such a miniscule amount of a trace gas affects climate, but that's the belief that the global warming charlatans are pushing, in order to drive funding of their 'research' grants, as well as their political cronies' corrupt carbon trading and taxation schemes.
There is far more water vapor in the atmosphere than CO2, and it is far more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Methane is also a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2. But the 'climate science' charlatans don't pay attention to either water vapor or methane, because those are not produced by burning fossil fuels. This reveals that their true agenda is to control, and especially tax, fossil fuel energy production worldwide.
Corporate psychopaths are already privatizing water resources, and no doubt they dream of someday charging everyone on earth for breathing.
