Brown = peerless science experts & plain logic

Green = watchdog on various environmentalist agendas, including Global Warming (aka Global Climate Change)

www.climatechangereconsidered.org summarizes each part of “Climate Change Reconsidered” (by Craig Idso and S. Fred Singer), with pdf’s giving unashamed access to the original book complete with its listed (footnoted) 4,000+ peer-reviewed research references

http://co2science.org/ features books, essays, etc all based in solid science

http://www.crichton-official.com/speeches.html is the introductory page to a collection of Michael Crichton essays urging logic and science return to discussions on climate and related issues

http://dumboxbellowed.blogtownhall.com/ has articles such as “Five Global Warming Questions” and “Retired, Free To Advocate CO2 Reductions”

http://globalwarminghoax.wordpress.com/ helps illustrate worldwide spread of ‘skeptics’, and delivers powerful factual debunking by arctic researchers like Dr. Syun-Ichi Akasofu

http://www.nipccreport.org/index.html gives blow-by-blow answers to the UN’s political attempt to be scientific about climate science. Heard of the discredited UN International Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC)? This is the non-governmental, non-political blowback of real science. John Adams once stated ‘facts are stubborn things’ and this site is loaded with all the facts of badly politicized science.

http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/ highlights latest science and debunks deceitful assertions purporting to support Anthropologic Global Warming; highlights include much of Lord Monckton’sanalytic papers

http://sepp.org/is by peerless atmospheric physicist Dr S. Fred Singer; site helps organize international scientists’ pro bono work

www.solarcycle24.com gives daily solar activity updates, plus solar history charts.

www.globalwarmingheartland.org is a watchdog site keeping tabs on current politics, that also collects links to scientific research

http://www.heartland.org/ discusses a wide range of political issues, including Global Warming at http://www.heartland.org/suites/environment/index.html

http://www.heritage.org/LeadershipForAmerica/energy-and-environment.cfm is Heritage Foundation’s site dealing with energy & environment issues:  applying solid science to the politics

http://www.junkscience.com/ is often focused on environmentalist deceptions, but also addresses politicized issues besides Global Warming

http://mnfmi.org/ is where Minnesota Free Market Institute features the nation-quaking 4.5 minutes of Lord Monckton talking about the Copenhagen Treaty on 14 October 2009,

http://mnfreemarketinstitute.org/2009/10/22/new-monckton-presentation-video-includes-slides/#usermessagea is the link to obtain the entire Lord Monckton 14 Oct 09 presentation at Bethel University

http://www.ncpa.org/?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=DPD is where National Center for Policy Analysis watches a host of issues, including AGW (aka Climate Change)

http://www.stevefielding.com.au provides good tracking of worldwide politics of global warming, especially from the Australian perspective

http://www.climatescienceinternational.org/ is the Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition, focused on countering the U.N.’s politicized IPCC reports;

   - its Manhattan Declaration lists over 850 scientists, and has another list for citizen endorsers

   - the ICSC site also lists over 30 additional websites with solid scientific credentials

http://www.petitionproject.org/ literally shatters Al Gore’s myth that ‘the debate is over’ with over 9,000 PhD scientists among 31,000+ American scientists total

   - Oregon Petition originated when the Clintons marched out almost 1800 social scientists urging urgent action to fight Global Warming

   - Oregon Petition quickly grew, solely by word-of-mouth, to over 20,000 actual scientists (by 1999) disputing the 1,800 social scientists

On 10 Sep 2008, various folks received, from a McCain Campaign source:

          "Even before our national convention, the Obama campaign dispatched what The Wall Street Journal called a "mini-army of 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers" to Alaska to dig up dirt for their personal attacks on Governor Palin and her family. FactCheck.org has called the attacks on Governor Palin, "completely false" and "misleading." However, the Obama Democrats continue to launch these attacks, hoping you'll never find out the truth."

No surprise.  Liars lie.  Seems liberals embrace Relative Morality, in which any individual is legitimate in deciding any bad deed is actually virtuous, if the bad deed advances 'the cause'.  Kind of like what some branches of Christians had decided a few centuries ago:  "the ends justify the means".  Liberals, with Relative Morality, have decided it’s virtuous to tell lies that promote liberal causes.  Seems liberals, as a group, have become habitual liars…  10 Sep 2008 was not new …

  - Most of what's not said about global warming is 'lies by omission', though there’s also plenty of both lies of commission and lies by implication. They show us the full-up Three Ring Lying Circus.  One of the leading liberal climatologists, Stephen Schneider, actually overtly and publicly encouraged lying for the sake of the agenda (and was quoted in Discover Magazine, October 1989):

          "Scientists should consider stretching the truth 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 some scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention about any doubts we may have.... Each of us has to decide what is the right balance between being effective and being honest."

 - Remember also the Gore Campaign.  In December 2000, this group of liberals had a very interesting Florida campaign strategy (as reported in Washington Post and New York Times): get Gore votes into the public’s consciousness, loudly & repeatedly, even if you have to quietly take them back later; create the impression of winning.

Intentionally & loudly proclaim the lie, foster a false image. Then quietly just stop talking the lie when it’s found out. Indeed.  Liars won’t stop lying unless forced. 

That’s three ‘big campaign’ snapshots going back two decades. There’s more; it's what they get good at, whether by omission, commission, or implication.  But these three examples are big enough to suffice for a short essay. 

Lying can become an addiction.  Psychology tells us, confirming common sense and a few thousand years of theology, that some liars get so used to lying that they develop an inability to distinguish reality from fantasy. We hope, however, that only the most partisan Relative Morality Liberals have developed a difficulty distinguishing lie from reality. We have a greater hope that ‘inability to distinguish’ doesn’t (yet?) afflict most Americans generally. 

Since most Americans tend to be conservative, when given the chance to assess multiple views of an issue, we have a high level of trust in both hopes.

I offer five questions. Logically answering them should prove a basis for waking up to environmentalism’s smoke’n’mirrors:

1.  If man caused global warming, then why did the globe start to warm BEFORE the industrial revolution began?

2.  If man is exacerbating global warming, then why do finally-corrected NASA global temperatures show 1998 was the warmest year, when the decade since '98 has seen more pollution than ever -- and from East Asian industrializing, which is essentially immune to Global Warmist “solutions”?

3.  If the USA has such a huge environmental disaster, then why was it only in Korea, immediately downwind from China, that I couldn’t see the sun, nor even a brighter-than-the-rest spot in the sky, on a clear day?

4. Since the 1960s-technology Trans-Alaska Pipeline (and Prudhoe Bay wells) has been such an environmentally-friendly project for all these decades, what possible legitimate objection can exist, to drilling ANWAR with 1990s+ technology?

And I have the BIG question.  It reacts to actions by General Electric, airlines, and most other major corporations, ‘going green’ in the wake of President Bush removing their last political protection against environazis: 

5. What will it take to get President Bush to return to his sensible resistance to the global warmist fanatics?

Those five questions illustrate how President Bush has snatched defeat in 2006-8, from his 2004 victory over Al Gore.  Do we have Son of ‘No New Taxes’ ?
