YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!

junkscience is by a guy name Steven Malloy. He is on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry. He is not a scientist, and has no credibility.

It is sad to see GW alarmist continue with the same old lines:


---Even slight temperature rises are disastrous, ice caps will melt, people will die.

A: Mild winters will save tens of thousands of lives EVERY YEAR.

---Mankind is pumping out carbon dioxide at a prodigious rate.

A: FALSE. 96.5% is naturally produced.

---Reducing car use will cut carbon dioxide levels and save the planet.

A: removing every car from every road in every country overnight would NOT produce any change in the carbon dioxide level of the atmosphere because of the tiny percentage of total CO2 they produce.

---There are only a tiny handful of maverick scientists who dispute that man-made global warming theory is true.

A: 18,000 at last count dispute the current MSM driven hysteria about global warming

This is a website we all need to visit and review at times!

jimfinster, I am talking about mainstream media...ha. I see the humor and of course the oil companies want their side but seriously, we need to see both sides reports on the media, not just the hype of dooms day coming soon!

Yes, their views are published. In the Exxon-Mobil newsletter :)

jimfinster, I thank you for your postings! Those of us who feel the media is making this out to be MORE than it really is, need to continue to speak out! Thank you again~!

It is sad to see the skeptic continue with the same old lines:

"temperature leads CO2"
"too complex to model"
"cooling was predicted in the 70s"
"iceland used to be temperate"

sad sad sad...

That is correct, silenced! You can search online to read information from the scientists who do not feel this is dooms day but it is rarely if at all printed in the main-stream media. As I said; there are two sides to every story and true journalism would print both sides of the story if it were not trying to hype up something that may be a normal cycle the earth is going through.

"I will slow down so you can understand the facts. The DATA is incomplete by any measurement. Humans have an extremely limited amount of data points to draw from. We have only had equipment: thermometers, barometers, set measuring points across the globe...for a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of weather time.

Unfortunately, those are your personal set of facts. Scientists actually have multiple lines of evidence that go far back beyond written records. One example: ice cores provide data going back at least 600,000 years. But you would not know that, because you have never studied the subject....

I remember all the hype about global cooling in the 70's. We had an ice age coming!
Now it is warming. The weather is always changing.
There is so much frenzy and so little science involved in this blind movement it is truly scary. Yes, CO2 and temps are connected. But it is backwards.
CO2 FOLLOWS global warming - it does not created it.
Check the ice records! Or greatest warming trend in the last century was the first 40 years of the 1900's. We used little CO2 then. The next 40 years - when we exploded our CO2 use temperatures dropped - and we had the global cooling scare. Duh. Is something a little backwards here?
Hey- could the "sun" have anything to do with the cooling and warming cycles? I mean have you checked the coincidence of sunspots, cloud cover, and global warming for the last 500+ years?
Could all the shill global warming cries have another agenda not so apparent - since science is NOT supporting it? Check the bandwagon you are riding on....

Global warming has been going on for thousands of years! Hello, the great lakes and most of the mid-west were all under ice at one time!

I do think we need to start cleaning up our act and find other means for fuel, but where are the scientists who feel this is part of the earth%u2019s cycle? Why have they been silenced?

Why are Americans buying into the media-hype about global warming? Of course we are warming! As I stated, we have been for thousands of years! Ask where the scientists who do not believe that this is dooms day for the planet to have their voice heard! Why is there only one side to this story being printed? This is not true journalism; this is hype and chasing for ratings!

Every story has two sides; we are not hearing the other side on global warming!
