Man-Made Global Warming: Is it real or not?

Wow...a tough last few weeks for the anthropogenic "climate change" proponents.

First, a long time opponent of the concept of man-made global climate change, Czech President Vaclav Klaus has the EU up in arms because it is the Czech Republic's turn to have it's president be head of the EU. And since the EU is trying to get more compliance with climate change-fighting rules enforced, they are NOT happy about Klaus being the figurehead leader of the EU as they try to get the public to support restrictions on "greenhouse gases."

We also saw a significant article in the London Sunday Telegraph proclaiming that "2008 was the year man-made global warming was disproved." One doesn't have to look far to see examples of those who take an opposing view regarding MMGW, in spite of the efforts to ostracize or even defrock those who disagree. Examples can be found here, here, here, here, here, and here. Where media once assumed that they had better get on board, because their readers agreed with the "climate changers", now, many publish articles debunking the concept, or questioning whether the "science is all in" as Al Gore said the other day.

Now comes an article, in the liberal Huffington Post, of all places, asking Al Gore for linking those who disagree with the conclusion of those who believe that MMGW is a hoax, or at least unproven, are "flat-earthers."

One only has to read the comments after the article to see that the most of the Post's readers disagree strongly with the conclusions of the author. But there is little doubt that polling data shows that the public may have backed off from the contention that CO2 emissions, generally considered the Number One Suspect in anthropogenic climate change, mainly from human activity, is to blame for any conceived climate change affecting the earth's climate.

I have always maintained that MMGW, if it exists, remains unproven. I sense that those who are it's most vociferous proponents have an anti-capitalist, one-world government, and anti-technology/development bias that has led them to listen to the alarmists with little regard for those who cite scientific evidence which contradicts the conclusions of those who disagree.

Science has long since lost it's mantle of dispassionate apolitical guardian of the world and referee of the material orb on which we live. So much has become part of the scientific world: government grant work, a lifetime of "progressive" bias, and anti-capitalist indoctrination at the nation's "higher learning" institutions, and now add in some heavy-duty, and well-financed, "green" organizations with sophisticated propaganda techniques (Al Gore's easily debunked "Oscar-winning 'documentary"...now required watching for young impressionable children in many an elementary and high-school science classroom).

Why don't those same classrooms watch the Channel 4, UK, counter to the Al Gore film, "The Great Global Warming Swindle?"

Good Question.

If you want to, you can always go to the You Tube here...myself, I went out and ordered a copy from Amazon. What I like about what Little Green Footballs, a conservative blog, has done, is engage in a DEBATE.

The point is this...this debate is NOT decided. The science is NOT in...and before we do the kind of massive and government-controlled surrender of rights, initiative, and lifestyle-change, we should be certain that we have covered our bases on this issue. Why the rush to judgment?

So, if you are going to show Al Gore's film, show the Channel 4 alternative.

Teachers should be fair...and show both if they are going to show one.

I won't hold my breath...
