Global Warming Myths

Once again, I cannot help but be blown away by the consensus that global warming is all man's fault. If we can just get mankind to stop being so selfish, mother earth would be all better. Hogwash. We've been duped - all of us. And it stinks. Here is another article about the MYTHS of global warming. As you read, remember, they are MYTHS! Taken from http://www.WeGetIt.org

Top 8 myths of global warming dogma

Quick! Your neighbor is a true believer in manmade, catastrophic global warming. He points to the overwhelming scientific consensus and the work of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and asks why you’re not urging your Congressman to back legislation to cut carbon dioxide emissions.

What can you say? Where can you turn for quick information to help him reconsider?

A new paper by the Science and Public Policy Institute by climate data analyst John McLean, Fallacies About Global Warming, would be a good start. It points out eight assumptions about global warming, all of which are false:

1. Scientists have accurate historical temperature data.
2. Temperature trends are meaningful and can be extrapolated.
3. The accuracy of climate models can be determined from their output.
4. The consensus among scientists is decisive (or even important).
5. The dominance of scientific papers on a certain subject establishes a truth.
6. Peer-reviewed papers are true and accurate.
7. The IPCC is a reliable authority and its reports are both correct and widely endorsed by all scientists.
8. It has been proven that human emissions of carbon dioxide have caused global warming.

McLean provides convincing evidences against every one of those claims--and as a result the whole case for action to prevent global warming implodes.
