2 Really Good Questions To Ask About Global Warming
Two really damn good questions, in fact. So good, they make you wonder why more journalists aren’t asking them. 
Would NBC still have done their pandering ‘green’ messaging during November sweeps, complete with green peacock symbol if they had asked themselves these questions?
Probably, but keep in mind that most are Hollywood pinheads, after all.
So listen up, wherever you fall on the global-warming-humans-are-to-blame debate, you need to be able to ask and answer these 2 key questions.
Steven Milloy of JunkScience.com sent out a 6 question survey to the IPCC scientists. Their answers are . . . stunning on 2 levels.
One, that there is so much non-consensus in findings that were presented as such and two, that this was not a major news event on the mainstream media.
Here are the questions: 1.) Was climate a static phenomenon before the arrival of man? And 2.)
If there was natural climate change before man, why not now also?
Here are my choice snippets from Milloy’s riveting article. Click the link for the full edification . . .
“But if there’s no agreement on whether a target climate even exists, what precisely is the point of taking action on global warming? [my emphasis]
Other notable results include the 20% who bizarrely said that human activity is the principal driver of climate change. So was climate a static phenomenon before the arrival of man? And if there was natural climate change before man, why not now also? And 44% percent don’t think that current global climate is unprecedentedly warm.
The “climate consensus” notion functions primarily as a marketing tool for converting the public to a political viewpoint, rather than as a valid scientific approach toward understanding global warming.
But even then, the survey indicates that the claimed IPCC consensus is not nearly as monolithic as we’ve been led to believe. That alone is good reason for demanding that the IPCC scientists declare and defend their positions in a public forum.”
Astute observers will have noticed that, by and large, they will not publicly defend their positions. What gives with that? Scientists, the legit ones anyway, love the “Oh yeah? Prove it!” back-and-forth with their colleagues.
But these IPCC folks . . . well, they’re just like Al Gore & his Eco-Supremes — willing to preach and wag the finger only as long as they can continue monologuing.
I, and many of you want the dia-logue. The debate. So message to Gore and his Eco-Supremes and IPCC folks — Wise Up.
