See Green Lies and Deceptive ScienceRecord return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year :
• Almost a million more square miles of ocean covered with ice than in 2012.
• BBC reported in 2007 global warming would leave Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013....
"The rebound from 2012’s record low comes six years after the BBC reported that global warming would leave the Arctic ice-free in summer by 2013.Instead, days before the annual autumn re-freeze is due to begin, an unbroken ice sheet more than half the size of Europe already stretches from the Canadian islands to Russia’s northern shores."
GM cows make 'low allergy' milk: "The scientists added extra genetic material to disrupt the manufacturing process using a technique called RNA interference. The resulting calf was born without a tail, however, the researchers say that is 'unlikely' to be because of the genetic modification." The years ahead may bring countless but futile human attempts to change, "improve" or reinvent God's amazing creatures!

EPA Threatens Foundations of U.S. Economy: "The EPA got its authority to impose these economy-wrecking rules from none other than the U.S. Supreme Court in a ruling on Massachusetts v. EPA in 2007. The Court based its entire ruling on the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claim that man is causing global warming. The Court said in a 5-4 decision that that CO2 threatens the world through global warming. Therefore CO2 is covered by the Clean Air Act’s capacious definition of an 'air pollutant.'” See Green Lies and False Science

When Science and Magic Combine: The Shameless Fraud known as Darwinian Evolution: "Despite their bluster, they never seemed quite able to convince themselves... that an extremely long series of purely random events at a microscopic level could really produce ever-higher degrees of self-sustaining, self-replicating complexity. ...If Dawkins, Gould and the others were right, then the very mechanism that they were using to explain evolution must lead inexorably, not to the creation of a new species, but to the destruction of existing ones! ...In fact, the theory of evolution contravenes so many well-established principles of physics, chemistry and mathematics that it is difficult to understand why so many otherwise rational men and women continue to believe in it. This paper tells the story behind the story, the true nature and purpose of the elaborate pseudo-science known as Evolution." See What Darwin didn't know

ICLEI: Linking Local Governments to the UN Agenda: "The Durban Adaptation Charter, an initiative of ICLEI, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, was signed this week by 114 mayors and other elected local leaders representing 950 local governments from around the world.... More than 600 American communities are members of ICLEI and have suffered its costly and intrusive agenda..."
Global Warming....Surgery Is Now Being Blamed: "A new source of global warming was revealed yesterday – seriously ill hospital patients. The gases used to anaesthetise patients for surgery affect the climate up to 1,620 times more than carbon dioxide, Danish and American scientists claim. And each year the gases used for anaesthetics have the same effect on the climate as one million cars." See Al Gore's Vision of Global Salvation

Hoax of the Century: "With publication of 'On the Origin of Species' in 1859, the hunt was on for the 'missing link.' ... In 1912, success! In a gravel pit near Piltdown in East Sussex, there was found the cranium of a man with the jaw of an ape. 'Darwin Theory Proved True,' ran the banner headline. Evolution skeptics were pilloried, and three English scientists were knighted for validating Piltdown Man. It wasn't until 1953, after generations of biology students had been taught about Piltdown Man, that closer inspection discovered that the cranium belonged to a medieval Englishman, the bones had been dyed to look older and the jaw belonged to an orangutan whose teeth had been filed down to look human....
" There was Nebraska Man. In 1922, Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, identified a tooth fossil found in Nebraska to be that of an 'anthropoid ape.' ...by 1925, Nebraska Man's tooth had been traced to a wild pig..." See Creation or evolution?
A Blizzard Of Lies From Al Gore: "Gore surfaced from the global warming witness-protection program to opine that despite admissions of error and evidence of fraud by various agencies, we still face 'an unimaginable calamity requiring large-scale, preventive measures to protect human civilization as we know it.'
"Perhaps he's trying to protect his investments as he knows them, for he is heavily involved in enterprises that deal with carbon offsets and green technology." See Al Gore's Vision of Global Salvation

U.S. Aims for Legally Binding Climate Change Agreement in 2010: "[In spite of facts exposed through climategate] the US wants to reach a legally binding climate-change agreement at a summit in Mexico in December, a sign President Barack Obama hasn’t given up the fight.... The pact should cover 'all major economies,' and include elements from the non-binding Copenhagen Accord..."

It's Freezing: Must Be Global Warming: "Great swaths of Britain are buried under more than a foot of snow as the country shivers through the coldest winter since 1981. Airports have been shut down, trains have been canceled, and the army had to be called out to rescue more than 1,000 motorists stranded in Hampshire. In Germany, most of which is also blanketed in white, temperatures have dipped to record lows of -7.6 F degrees....
"Atlantic, Iowa posted a temperature of 29 below zero, breaking a record set in 1958. Florida's $9.3-billion citrus crop hangs in the balance as the coldest weather in years is draping palm fronds with icicles and causing iguanas to drop frozen from the trees....
"The cold snap has spurred the 'warmists' to spin control. Here's a typical AP headline: 'Cold Weather Doesn't Disprove Global Warming: Experts.' And this from the Voice of America: 'Meteorologists: Global Warming and Cold Weather Go Hand-In-Hand.'" Green Lies and Deceptive Science

Denying the global-cooling cover-up: "President Obama's climate czar, Carol M. Browner, claims that Climategate is not important and that global warming is settled science. '[The U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has] been studying this issue for a very long time and agree this problem is real," she said last week, six days after the scandal first broke about fudged global-warming research. .....The destruction of data and e-mails, the refusal to respond to Freedom of Information requests and plotting to exclude from the IPCC report studies that questioned global warming are serious violations of academic standards. Obama administration officials are trying to dismiss this climate-change scandal, but doing so shows how they prioritize liberal politics over scientific integrity." See Al Gore’s Vision of Global Salvation
NASA hiding climate data: "Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, said NASA has refused for two years to provide information under the Freedom of Information Act that would show how the agency has shaped its climate data and would explain why the agency has repeatedly had to correct its data going as far back as the 1930s. 'I assume that what is there is highly damaging,' Mr. Horner said. 'These guys are quite clearly bound and determined not to reveal their internal discussions about this."

Hiding evidence of global cooling: "The past couple of days have uncovered some shocking revelations about the baloney practices that pass as sound science about climate change. It was announced Thursday afternoon that computer hackers had obtained 160 megabytes of e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia in England. Those e-mails involved communication among many scientific researchers and policy advocates.... Those purported authorities were brazenly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that did not support global-warming claims....
"Professor Phil Jones, the head of the Climate Research Unit, and professor Michael E. Mann at Pennsylvania State University, who has been an important scientist in the climate debate, have come under particular scrutiny. Among his e-mails, Mr. Jones talked to Mr. Mann about the 'trick of adding in the real temps to each series ... to hide the decline [in temperature].'... Repeatedly throughout the e-mails that have been made public, proponents of global-warming theories refer to data that has been hidden or destroyed. ...
"Academics who have purposely hidden data, destroyed information and doctored their results have committed scientific fraud. ...these revelations of fudged science should have a cooling effect on global-warming hysteria and the panicked policies that are being pushed forward to address the unproven theory."

India scientists get cold blast: "The lead bureaucrat for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [ICPP] is calling scientists at the India Ministry of Environment and Forests 'arrogant' for producing a 60-page study of Himalayan glaciers concluding there is insufficient evidence to say global warming is causing a retreat of Himalayan glaciers. Now who's being arrogant? ... The report... analyzes 150 years of glacier data.... It seems the United Nations would prefer to hide the truth and cut off all further scientific research instead of facing the embarrassment of having to retract its ridiculous assertion that Himalayan glaciers may disappear in the next 25 years." See Saving the Earth That kind of "science" have produced a "convenient crisis" that's essential to UN control over everything!

Holdren says Constitution backs compulsory abortion: "Obama science czar John Holdren stated in a college textbook he co-authored that in conditions of emergency, compulsory abortion would be sustainable under the U.S. Constitution, even with Supreme Court review....To prevent ecological disasters, including 'global warming,' Holdren argued the U.S. Constitution would permit involuntary abortions, government-imposed sterilizations and laws limiting the number of children as steps justified under the banner of 'sustainable well-being.'"

Oblivious to Evidence: "On the day he announced support for embryonic stem cell research, Mr. Obama also signed an executive memorandum declaring that in the Obama administration, 'we (will) make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology.' And yet, his health care proposals -- or rather the congressional ideas he has endorsed -- seem to skirt facts and evidence at every turn." His support for Al Gore's pseudoscience illustrates his ideology well. See Saving the Earth

Ghoulish Science Plus Obamacare Equals Health Hazard: "Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius tried to reassure citizens in New Orleans this week that Obamacare bureaucrats will make sound medical decisions for all Americans.... 'I think it would be wise to let science guide what the best health care package is.' ...
"It's the Obama administration's view of sound 'science' that should send chills down patients' spines. Case in point: The president's prestigious science czar, John Holdren, refuses to answer questions about his radical published work on population control over the last 30 years.... In 2007, he addressed the American Association for the Advancement of Science conference. Holdren served as AAAS president; the organization posted his full slide presentation on its website. In the opening slide, Holdren admitted that his 'preoccupation' with apocalyptic matters such as 'the rates at which people breed' was a lifelong obsession spurred by Harrison Brown's work....
"Who is Harrison Brown? He was a 'distinguished member' of the International Eugenics Society.... Brown envisioned a regime in which the 'number of abortions and artificial inseminations permitted in a given year would be determined completely by the difference between the number of deaths and the number of births in the year previous.'" See Saving the Earth
Gore Unhinged: "'Gore compares climate change fight to war against Nazis.' ... Al Gore, speaking at the World Forum on Enterprise and the Environment in Oxford, warned his audience—mostly British—of the imperative to confront climate change, as Britain and the Allies once battled Hitler.... Like the brave Sir Winston in those ominous days of the Battle of Britain, Gore stoically exhorted: 'We have everything we need, except political will.'...
"In one of the many deeply disturbing passages in [his] deeply disturbing book, Gore hailed ecological activists as 'resistance fighters' and 'people of conscience' engaging in a just war akin to the World War II resistance that fought the Nazis... Gore's Nazi metaphors are ubiquitous in Earth in the Balance.....Gore asserted that America's consumption of resources is reminiscent of Germany's descent into fascism. As if his Nazi analogies weren't aggressive enough, the Nobel Peace Prize winner envisioned 'a kind of global civil war between those who refuse to consider the consequences of civilization's relentless advance and those who refuse to be silent partners in the destruction.'"

Clinton tells nations US acting on climate change: "Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told representatives from 16 major world economies Monday that the United States is moving quickly to address global warming. At an international forum on energy and climate change organized by President Barack Obama, Clinton said the U.S. no longer doubts the urgency or magnitude of the problem. 'The United States is fully engaged and ready to lead and determined to make up for lost time both at home and abroad.''" See Green Lies
Democrats Refuse to Allow Skeptic to Testify Alongside Gore At Congressional Hearing: "UK's Lord Christopher Monckton... claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24... 'The House Democrats don't want Gore humiliated, so they slammed the door of the Capitol in my face.'...
"''Waxman knows there has been no 'global warming' for at least a decade. Waxman knows there has been seven and a half years' global cooling. Waxman knows that, in the words of the UK High Court judge who condemned Gore's mawkish movie as materially, seriously, serially inaccurate, 'the Armageddon scenario that he depicts is not based on any scientific view,' Monckton explained."

More Than 700 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims: "The over 700 dissenting scientists are now more than 13 times the number of UN scientists (52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for Policymakers.
"The 59 additional scientists hail from all over the world, including Japan, Italy, UK, Czech Republic, Canada, Netherlands, the U.S. and many are affiliated with prestigious institutions including, NASA, U.S. Navy, U.S. Defense Department, Energy Department, U.S. Air Force, the Philosophical Society of Washington (the oldest scientific society in Washington), Princeton University, Tulane University, American University, Oregon State University, U.S. Naval Academy and EPA. The explosion of skeptical scientific voices is accelerating unabated in 2009.
"A March 14, 2009 article in the Australian revealed that Japanese scientists are now at the forefront of rejecting man-made climate fears prompted by the UN IPCC. ....
"Award-Winning Princeton University Physicist Dr. Robert H. Austin, who has published 170 scientific papers and was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, lamented the current fears over global warming. 'Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political Science…It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomena which is statistically questionable at best,” Austin told the minority staff on the Environment and Public Works Committee on March 2, 2009.
"The rise in skeptical scientists are responding not only to an increase in dire 'predictions' of climate change, but also a steady stream of peer-reviewed studies, analyses, real world data, and inconvenient developments have further cast doubts on the claims of man-made global warming fear activists. ....
“'We realized a lot of changes in the past century from warmer to cooler and then back to warmer were all natural,' Tsonis said. 'I don't think we can say much about what the humans are doing....The temperature has flattened and is actually going down.

But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had 'chickened out' and there would be no joint appearance....
"'Congress Henry Waxman's (D-CA) refusal to expose Al Gore's sci-fi comedy-horror testimony to proper, independent scrutiny by the House minority reeks of naked fear,' Monckton said....

British put warning label on Gore film: "The British high court ruled Gore's Academy Award winning global warming film cannot be shown in any public school in England without an explicit disclaimer. The high court ruled that students must be warned that the film is partisan, political advocacy, not a factual representation of what is actually happening with the climate of the world. The disclaimer must stipulate that misleading exaggerations permeate the film....
"
When Al Gore ... refused to debate any of the climate change experts... saying it was pointless to engage in their circus because '...the debate is truly over,' what Gore meant was that the world's most powerful barons of industry and banking plan to use the myth of global warming as the primary catalyst to force the nations of the world to agree to world government, not that factual evidence proves that manmade global warming is a fact."

Global warming' shocker – Who's minding thermometers? "Dire 'global warming' predictions are based on bad science from the very start, says a veteran meteorologist.... What he found were temperature stations with sensors on the roofs of buildings, near air-conditioning exhaust vents, in parking lots near hot automobiles, barbecues, chimneys and on pavement and concrete surfaces – all of which would lead to higher temperature recordings than properly established conditions.... To qualify as a properly maintained temperature station, sensors must be placed in elevated, slatted boxes on flat ground surrounded by a clear surface on a slope of less than 19 degrees with surrounding grass and vegetations ground cover of less than 10 centimeters high."

Global Warming Delusions: "...contrary to the latest news, the evidence that global warming will have serious effects on life is thin. Most evidence suggests the contrary.... I'm a scientist [professor emeritus... at the University of California] who believes in the scientific method and in what facts tell us. I have worked for 40 years to try to improve our environment and improve human life as well. I believe we can do this only from a basis in reality, and that is not what I see happening now. Instead, like fashions that took hold in the past and are eloquently analyzed in the classic 19th century book 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds,' the popular imagination today appears to have been captured by beliefs that have little scientific basis....
"
Some colleagues who share some of my doubts argue that the only way to get our society to change is to frighten people with the possibility of a catastrophe, and that therefore it is all right and even necessary for scientists to exaggerate. They tell me that my belief in open and honest assessment is naïve. 'Wolves deceive their prey, don't they?' one said to me recently. Therefore, biologically, he said, we are justified in exaggerating to get society to change.' ..."Ladurie pointed out that 'it is reasonable to think of the Vikings as unconsciously taking advantage of this [referring to the warming of the Middle Ages] to colonize the most northern and inclement of their conquests, Iceland and Greenland.' Good thing that Erik the Red didn't have Al Gore or his climatologists as his advisers." See Green Lies
Al Gore says he will donate his Nobel Prize money to Palo Alto nonprofit: "The Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the yearly prize early this morning to both Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 'for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change.'... The two parties will split the $1.5 million prize money....'This is a chance to elevate the global consciousness about the challenge we face,' he said.... Stanford University Biology Professor Stephen Schneider [see his quote below] one of the lead authors of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's upcoming report, said the award underscores the achievements of science." See the next two links:
Saving the Earth: "Stanford University Associate Professor Professor Steven Schneider, wrote: '...as scientists, we are ethically bound to the scientific method, in effect promising to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but -- which means that we must include all the doubts, the caveats, the ifs, ands, and buts. On the other hand, we are not just scientists but human beings as well. And like most people, we'd like to see the world a better place.... To do that, we need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination. That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts we might have.... Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."

Earth-centered spirituality. Al Gore’s Vision of Global Salvation: Al Gore wrote, "The richness and diversity of our religious tradition throughout history is a spiritual resource long ignored by people of faith, who are often afraid to open their minds to teachings first offered outside their own system of belief. But the emergence of a civilization in which knowledge moves freely and almost instantaneously throughout the world has. . . spurred a renewed investigation of the wisdom distilled by all faiths. This panreligious perspective may prove especially important where our global civilization's responsibility for the earth is concerned."
CO2: The Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Time: "Statement of Prof. Zbigniew Jaworowski, Chairman, Scientific Council of Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection Warsaw, Poland.... 'For the past 40 years I was involved in glacier studies, using snow and ice as a matrix for reconstruction of history of man-made pollution of the global atmosphere. A part of these studies was related to the climatic issues. Ice core records of CO2 have been widely used as a proof that, due to man’s activity the current atmospheric level of CO2 is about 25% higher than in the pre-industrial period. These records became the basic input parameters in the models of the global carbon cycle and a cornerstone of the man-made climatic warming hypothesis. These records do not represent the atmospheric reality....
"The basis of most of the [UN] IPCC conclusions... on projections of climatic change is the assumption of low level of CO2 in the pre-industrial atmosphere. This assumption, based on glaciological studies, is false.... I hope that their rational views might save the world from enormous damage that could be induced by implementing recommendations based on distorted science." See Green Lies and Amazing Truths

'Artic Tale': Global warming goes family friendly: "Some early reviews have questioned the value of assembling footage of various animals to construct artificial life stories complete with human-like villains and heroes.... Leipzig defended the approach, saying the goal was to create a new genre of 'wildlife adventure' movies. 'It isn't fictionalized in the way that 'Transformers' is fictionalized,' he said.... The film tells of the entwined lives and travails of two composite characters, Nanu, a young bear, and Seela, a walrus. Their stories are related, fable-style, by Queen Latifah.'"

Make Up Your Own Mine: "Mine Your Own Business' is a documentary by Irish filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney. They conclude that the biggest threat to the people of Rosia Montana [a Romanian mining town] 'comes from upper-class Western environmentalism that seeks to keep them poor and unable to clean up the horrific pollution caused by [former Communist dictator] Ceausescu's mining.'...
"Mr. McAleer... 'found that everything the environmentalists were saying about the project was misleading, exaggerated or quite simply false.'...
[For example] Mr. Soros cites a recent poll... that 'found 90% of respondents rejecting the project.' But the poll turns out to be an unscientific Internet survey, and one of the environmental groups Mr. Soros funds urged people outside Romania to participate...."'...the opposition do not take account of modern mining techniques and in fact the [new] Rosia Montana project will help to clear up existing pollution.'... And there's the rub. Rosia Montana needs a cleanup and development. Three-quarters of its 600 families lack indoor toilets, unemployment tops 70% and the only truly viable crop is potatoes.... 'People have no food to eat....I need a job.'...
"Mine Your Own Business' also contains interviews with leading environmentalists opposing other mining projects who display smug indifference to bettering the lives of poor people. In Madagascar, Mr. McAleer finds Mark Fenn, country director for the World Wide Fund for Nature, who argues that the poor are just as happy as the rich because they smile more and that if Madagascar locals (who now earn $100 a month) get more money 'they'll buy cases of beer... in three, four days the money's gone.' He then shows off his new $35,000 catamaran [sail boat]." See World Heritage Protection

Global Hot Air (Thomas Sowell): "The political left's favorite argument is that there is no argument. Their current crusade is to turn 'global warming' into one of those things that supposedly no honest and decent person can disagree about, as they have already done with 'diversity' and 'open space.' The name of 'science' is invoked.... After all, Karl Marx's ideology was called 'scientific socialism'....
"There is no question that there is a 'greenhouse' effect. Otherwise, half the planet would freeze every night when there is no sunlight falling on it. There is also no question that the earth can warm or cool. It has done both at one time or another for thousands of years, even before there were SUVs. ...
"Back in the 1970s, the environmental hysteria was about the dangers of a new ice age. ... Government money is falling on those who seek grants to study global warming and produce 'solutions' for it. But that money is not as likely to fall on those... who refuse to join the stampede." See Saving the Earth

UN Climate Summary Designed to Dupe: "Scientific evidence for human-induced global warming will receive a significant boost Friday when the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) releases the summary of a key report, according to environmental activists and top Democrats in Congress. But wait. Some climate researchers and environmental scientists previously associated with the IPCC claim the public relations summary of the panel's fourth assessment report distorts the actual scientific findings and that the discrepancies are driven by a political agenda. The IPCC Summary for Policymakers, roughly 20 pages long, is primarily the work of political appointees, not of scientists." See

Polar Bear Politics: "Unless you've been hibernating for the winter, you have no doubt heard the many alarms about global warming. Now even the Bush Administration is getting into the act, at least judging from last week's decision by Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne to recommend that the majestic polar bear be listed as 'threatened' under the Endangered Species Act. The closer you inspect this decision, however, the more it looks like the triumph of politics over science.
"
...when we called Interior spokesman Hugh Vickery for some elaboration, he was a lot less categorical, even a tad defensive. The 'endangered' designation is based less on the actual number of bears in Alaska than on 'projections into the future.'... Apparently so, because there are in fact more polar bears in the world now than there were 40 years ago.... The main threat to polar bears in recent decades has been from hunting .... [T]he Canadian polar bear population has actually increased by 25% -- to 15,000 from 12,000 over the past decade."(1-3-07) See Al Gore’s Vision of Global Salvation and Training children to thank a goddess

The end of the world -- according to Gore: "Less than 10 years.''

See Al Gore’s Vision of Planetary Oneness
Separating Fact From Fiction: "Given the lack of an observed warming trend in the lower troposphere, the result is that most of the surface warming in recent decades cannot owe to a human-caused enhanced greenhouse effect. What might cause the surface warming, especially in the early 20th century when greenhouse gases from human activities had not significantly increased in concentration in the atmosphere? The 20th Century temperature pattern shows a strong correlation to energy output of the sun...
"Based on the key temperature measurements of the last several decades, the actual response of the climate to the increased concentration of carbon dioxide and other human-made greenhouse gases content in the air has shown no significant man-made global warming trend.... This means that the human global warming effect, if present, is small and slow to develop. ... Proposals like the Kyoto agreement to sharply cut greenhouse gas emissions are estimated in most economic studies to have enormous economic, social and environmental costs. The cost estimates for the U.S. alone amount to $100 billion to $400 billion per year. Those costs would fall disproportionately on America's and the world's elderly and poor."
