Dr. Fred Singer, Professor Emeritus of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia, President of the Science & Environmental Policy Project in Fairfax, Virginia, author of Hot Talk, Cold Science--Global Warming's Unfinished Debate, and formerly in charge of the weather satellite service for the U.S. government, the man who devised the basic instrument for measuring atmospheric ozone, says not. Quoted in a recent issue of The Limbaugh Letter, Dr. Singer said: "If CO2 really has an effect the way their [global warming] theory says it does, then we should be seeing a very substantial warming. Instead ... the weather satellites, the best global data we have, show a cooling over the last 20 years."

THEY'RE AFRAID OF DEBATE

Dr. Singer would like to begin a scientific debate with those scientists who are pushing the global warming scam, but they don't want to do that. It might cause them to be proven wrong. Instead, they just call Dr. Singer, and all the other scientists who don't buy the global warming con, names. As with most Liberals, they won't argue a case on its merits. They just pin labels on those who oppose their theories, so the pseudo-scientific, environmentalist Liberal-Leftist ideologues won't have to argue their case on its merits.

I hate to quote Rush Limbaugh, because so many people who should know better automatically dismiss whatever he says in a "knee-jerk reaction," instead of looking carefully at what he has to say and researching it (I don't agree with all his opinions, but I've never caught him in a lie). However, I haven't seen anything, anywhere, which says it better than he does in his book, The Way Things Ought to Be. He says this:

"The fact is, we couldn't destroy the earth if we wanted to. The earth is over 4 billion years old. The archenemy of nature, man, has been on the planet no more than 200,000 years. Man cannot even come close to creating the powerful forces of nature, many of them damaging and de- structive. Yet these forces have been around for the same 4 billion years the earth has. And the earth is still there! Even if we dedicat- ed all of our mental and physical resources to destroying the planet, even if we put Daryl Gates in charge of the effort, we couldn't do it."

BUT "2,500 SCIENTISTS AGREE!"

The Gore people insist that, since 2,500 scientists read a report put out by the United Nations and "agreed" with it, it must be right. But what they don't tell you is that what those 2,500 scientists read and agreed to was not the same report which was read and commented upon by news reporters. Anybody who actually reads the United Nations' 2,000-page report on global warming will realize that all those 2,500 scientists were agreeing to is that: "We don't know!" Reporters, who obviously did not read the 2,000-page report but who only read the seven-page "summary," saw only the things Gore's people wanted them to see: a summary that completely distorted what the report actually said. They knew these reporters wouldn't wade through 2.000 pages, so they gave them a convenient seven-page summary that said the opposite of what the actual report said.

Another thing Singer said in this interview: "The funny thing is, if the climate did warm (it does warm from time to time), it's good for the people. Agriculture benefits. We have longer growing seasons. We have fewer frosts. More carbon dioxide in the atmosphere makes plants grow faster. We get more precipitation. Farmers get more rain. And what we've just discovered is that the sea level will not rise as fast (it may even go down) if it warms. And this is based on the analysis of data. Real data."

"GLOBAL COOLING?"

Many of the scientists who were big in the "global cooling" debate more than 20 years ago are now the biggest fans of the global warming scam. What ever becomes the popular theory today becomes "their theory" so they can keep the grant money coming from the government and the elitist foundations.

SCIENTISTS AFRAID

On the otherhand, one of the big problems is the pressure being put on other scientists, most of whom are dependent upon grants to finance their research. The older scientists, who are not as dependent because of their tenure and reputation, are not afraid, and this is why most of those speaking out against the hoax are older. It's the younger ones who, having yet to "make their marks," agree with Dr. Singer in private, but will not do so publicly, for fear of losing their grant money. To intimidate scientists this way in order to promote a bogus scientific theory, is unconscionable. And the scientists who go out of their way to promote this scam to keep the money coming in are weaklings.

CONTRARY EVIDENCE

Not only is there no conclusive evidence to prove the global warming theory, there is a lot of evidence to the contrary, evidence that proponents of the theory refuse to debate. Let's look at some of it:

Climate scientists in the American Meteorological Society and the Ameri- can Geophysical Union were the subject of a Gallup Poll and 49 percent doubt that there has been any identifiable man-caused warming to date. Among those actively involved in research, and who publish frequently in peer-review research journals, the number who believe this is 100 percent.

In the 1970s, these same "eminent Scientists" were worried over a sigfi- cant DECLINE in temperatures between 1938 and 1970 and were crying "the sky is falling" over a potential approaching ice age!

Satellite measurements do not show any warming between 1979 and 1996. In fact, there was a slight cooling trend due to the 1991 eruption Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines.

Satellite data and measurements taken in the lower atmosphere by weather balloons match perfectly, and this is completely independent corrobora- tion of the lack of evidence of global warming.

Most on the one-half dedree Celsius terperature increase that has been measured in this country took place prior to 1940, before most human= caused CO2 emissions.

According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, a greater warming occurred between the tenth and fifteenth centuries than since. And the human species survided that OK.

IT'S A HOAX, FOLKS!

Al Gore pinned his hopes for the Presidency on the environment, specifically global warming. He still does, and he will allow no opposition. He even attempted to bar those who didn't agree from the Koyoto meeting in Japan. Congress says they'll block any agreement that exempts most of the rest of the world, while applying only to the U.S.A, and a few other countries. Gore "threw down the gauntlet" to them, and that didn't work either.

WE COULDN'T STOP IT ANYWAY

Even if we wanted to, we couldn't destroy the environment or increase the CO2 emissions significantly for any length of time. The sun always replenishes it before any damage can be done. So why are going to spend billions of dollars and raise the cost of living significantly for all Americans, when we can't even prove there's a problem? Why are we listening to "the sky is falling" Gore? His book, The Earth in the Balance, has been proven to be based primarily on faulty science, yet people continue to believe what he says. We need to start believing the real scientists who say otherwise and ignore the disparaging names Gore and his ilk have been calling them. It's all a scam to get more tax money, to acquire more control over you, and to get Al Gore elected President so he can rape you some more. Are you going to allow it?
