The Politicized Science of Global Warming

THE POLITICIZED FSCIENCE ISCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING Summer 2012 97% of Greenland's vast ice sheet have undergone at least some surface melting, compared with a normal melt area of about 50%. NASA NASA's Exaggerated Press Release: Announced the melting was "UNPRECEDENTĚD." Some Perspective: Widespread melting is anything but unprecedented. It happened most recently in 1889, & it happens, on average, every 150 years or so. "This summer's surface melt has very likely been influenced by Global Warming, but it might have happened anyway."

October 2007 The High Court in London identified 9 "errors" in Al Gore's movie "An Inconvenient Truth".

"Twenty years ago, climate research became politicized in favor of one particular HYPOTHESIS." -Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist "..top-level polițicians do not express their Global Warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice." -President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus ...they often imagine that anyone who doubts the hypothesis of man-made Global Warming must be in the pay of the oil companies." "There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the SCIENCE IS SETTLED." "When politicians & journalists declare that the science of Global Warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about HOW SCIENCE WORKS." -Claude Allegre, leading French scientist, who voiced concerns about Global Warming 20 years ago. -Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist (Allegre now believes that "increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena.") “... perhaps real-world climate sensitivity is very much below the IPCC's estimates. Perhaps, therefore, there is NO 'CLIMATE CRISIS' AT ALL... the correct policy approach to a non-problem is to have the courage to do nothing." - Monckton Source: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/02/opinion/la-oe-lemonick-climate-science-skeptics-20120802 http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/monckton/goreerrors.html http://www.globalresearch.ca/global-warming-a-convenient-lie/5086 http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel prizes/peace/laureates/2007/ http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/fallacies.html http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/press/proved_no_climate crisis.html WorldClimate www.worldclimate.com THE POLITICIZED FSCIENCE ISCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING Summer 2012 97% of Greenland's vast ice sheet have undergone at least some surface melting, compared with a normal melt area of about 50%.
