The most vexing barrier to engaging in honest debate about climate change is that most climate change zealots have embraced their ideology absent any research that questions the one-sided dogma of Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” in all its incomprehensible glory.
Al Gore says the world is doomed because of man-made global warming. Then, with like-minded grant-hungry climatologists (including chief cheerleader Dr. James Hansen of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies) and social-engineering, left-wing politicians shilling for the cause, the lockstep media pushes this agenda down the throats of mankind, ever mindless of even one iota of contrary fact or opinion.
While our planet undeniably heats and cools in periods of fluctuation —- think 9th century Medieval Warm Period and 17th century Little Ice Age, for example —- there is absolutely no scientific evidence that any of history’s climate fluctuations have been due to man’s influence.
In fact, scientists can no more accurately predict long-range future climate shifts than they can predict earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or drought; in the same way science cannot definitively account for past ice ages, meteor strikes or the Big Bang. Theories, yes; facts, no.
I have tried to learn both sides of the argument and am convinced beyond a doubt that Gore and his ilk are foisting history’s greatest fraud upon mankind.
I’m not alone. There are countless highly respected scientists and climatologists who refute the “findings” of the climate change lobby.
