Popular delusions and mass hysteria have gone hand-in-hand since the beginning of mankind. The global warming movement is an excellent example of this.

There have been a rash of books surfacing of late of scientists who are tired of being in the closet and have taken the task of offering rebuttal to the man-made global warming theories. Here's a few:

great article:

What about all those scientists mentioned, cited, or quoted by global-warming crusaders?

There are all kinds of scientists, from chemists to nuclear physicists to people who study insects, volcanoes, and endocrine glands — none of whom is an expert on weather or climate, but all of whom can be listed as scientists, to impress people who don’t scrutinize the list any further. That ploy has already been used.

Then there are genuine scientific experts on weather and climate. The National Academy of Sciences came out with a report on global warming back in 2001 with a very distinguished list of such experts listed. The problem is that not one of those very distinguished scientists actually wrote the report — or even saw it before it was published.

I don't see me getting into a discussion on it. I just wanted to post those links for anyone who might want to see what's on the outside of the Kool-Aid pitcher

This thread IS inside the kool-aid pitcher. "Fruit Explosion" Flavor I believe.

We all know the true Kool Aid drinkers (aka liberal tree hugging socialists) wouldn't even click these links.

Are you calling Mingez a Liberal Tree hugging socialist!?!
Funny I thought him more along the lines of a Earth First, Green party leftist radical.

No I was defining Kool-Aid drinkers lol

Here's some more good stuff:
Antarctic Snowfall Snafu Derails Climate Models
National Science Foundation | 11 Aug 2006

An improved method of measuring Antarctic snowfall has revealed that previous records showing an increase in precipitation are not accurate, even over a half-century. In the August 10 edition of Science magazine, researchers explain that their analysis of ice cores and snow pits revealed that precipitation levels in the Antarctic have in fact remained steady. The upshot of the study is that models assessing climate-change may need to be revised, as they can no longer be deemed accurate.

The multinational Antarctic team comprised 16 researchers who wanted to amass snowfall data going back 50 years to the International Geophysical Year (IGY). The data taken from the IGY is regarded as the first real study of the Antarctic, which has been ongoing ever since. This time around, however, the team found that their data contradicted computer models used to calculate global climate change, where most predict an increase in precipitation as atmospheric temperatures increase. "There were no statistically significant trends in snowfall accumulation over the past five decades, including recent years for which global mean temperatures have been warmest," said lead author Andrew Monaghan, a research associate with Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center.

During the expedition, the team used data from ice core samples, networks of snow stakes and meteorological observations. Not satisfied with this data alone, the team also included ice core records from the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE), another multinational research program that began in 1990 in order to reconstruct the continent's climate history. The latest team's voracious accumulation of data coupled with a thorough analysis provides the most accurate study to-date of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and the thicker East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS).

Recent observations of the WAIS, a marine ice sheet with a base below sea level, show that vast quantities of ice are melting at a faster rate than previously recorded. Many observers consider this and an increase in calving icebergs along the Antarctic's margins to be evidence of global warming. The team's findings also counter climate-change skeptics who consider a thickening of Antarctica's enormous ice sheets has stemmed the gradual rise in global sea levels.

The new study shows that current climate-change models need to be revamped if scientists are to have a more accurate representation of Antarctic weather patterns. "The year-to-year and decadal variability of the snowfall is so large that it makes it nearly impossible to distinguish trends that might be related to climate change from even a 50-year record," said Monaghan.

The Kool Aid becomes more and more diluted... developing...

Yo mama's an Earth First, Green party leftist radical.

Are you kidding? Sure they would. For the same reason extremist baby seal-clubbing fascists would click on links of the opposite content.

To come up with reasons to argue!!!

Actually shes a main stream Democrat who is on Hilary's ticket....(shudders to think if she wins)
Now that I think of it...are not they the same?

Maybe global warming only happens in the summer time

At one point it was suggested that Al Gore get the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to stop global warming. I think I posted that news article here somewhere...
