I watched it last evening. Very factual and informative.

For the Chicken Littles, Ducky Luckys, Goosey Looseys and the rest of the barnyard menagerie, the sky is always falling. It has to always be falling for them to maintain their positions and status.

Why Climate Change Isn't Science
Daniel G. Jones

Environmentalists first predicted impending climate disaster in the 1970s, but they didn’t call it global warming. Back then, it was “Global Cooling” that would end life on earth as we knew it. The smog of industrial pollutants was blocking out sunlight so severely, we were warned, that our planet would enter a new ice age unless we acted quickly. Magazine covers featured pictures of snowball earth.

In the eighties, we cleaned up our air, the threatened the ice age did not occur, and thousands of people with time on their hands and seeking purpose in life had discovered that they could make a career out of disaster prophecy. Thus, it was time for a new catastrophe: “Global Warming” Well, maybe not so new. Same villain: us and our machines. Same victim: our delicate planet earth. Same threat: the end of life as we know it. Only the predicted temperature had changed.

After watching it, while I understand the gist of it, and I think he brought some very good points, I don't feel I know enough about climatic science to form a solid opinion, nor do I have the time and inclination to fact check what he is saying.

This puts the lie to your little youtube nutcase!

Note: The Petition Project has no funding from energy industries or other parties with special financial interests in the "global warming" debate. Funding for the project comes entirely from private non-tax deductible donations by interested individuals.

Global Warming Petition

We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

This petition has been signed by over 31,000 American scientists....more that 9000 of whom hold PhDs in related fields.

The United States is very close to adopting an international agreement that would ration the use of energy and of technologies that depend upon coal, oil, and natural gas and some other organic compounds.

This treaty is, in our opinion, based upon flawed ideas. Research data on climate change do not show that human use of hydrocarbons is harmful. To the contrary, there is good evidence that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.

A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th Century have produced no deleterious effects upon global weather, climate, or temperature. Increased carbon dioxide has, however, markedly increased plant growth rates. Predictions of harmful climatic effects due to future increases in minor greenhouse gases like CO2 are in error and do not conform to current experimental knowledge.

ine (the OISM petition). This petition now appears to be signed by over 32,000 people with a BSc or higher qualification. The signatories agree with these statements:

Science graduates.. of whom there are millions who did not sign. Where did the petition find signers?

Scientists, like Science, are not a monolithic entity. Any group of people has its various points of view. "Deniers" may be rude but so is the insistence that anyone who accepts climate change is a fanatic idiot. There are vested interests on both sides, as well as honest people. And on both sides there are people who think we can "fix" Nature.

I agree with you that there are name calling on both sides, but to be fair, it really started many years ago from the left, attacking the intelligence and motivation of anyone who disagreed with global warming, claiming to have science and facts on its side.
