Pay more in taxes to the government, so government scientists can pretend to control the weather. The ultimate scam.

And how exactly does paying taxes effect the climate anyway?

It'll be a cold day in hell before Gore apologizes. (Pun intended.)

I am not sure what gave this Ambler the gall to question the Global Warming orthodoxy on the left.  Perhaps the Stalinists are losing party discipline now that they feel that they have achieved absolute control over policy and they can let their vanguard down.  Soon they will have the Supreme Court, the legislature, the executive, the press, the universities, the courts, the schools and they are looking to shut down talk radio and attack the Internet as a forum for political opinion and so they are rightly feeling a bit cocky.  They can tolerate a little intellectual diversity in house, because soon there will be a such an overwhelming propaganda machine ginned up for our Lord and Savior Obama that a little bit of faux even-handedness can be tolerated.

Oh, ye of little faith!  Know ye not that even now is The One causing the Oceans to recede, and the climate to calm.

But over in England the False Prophet has thrown his $200 million to The Beast that is Al Gore.

HuffPo doesn't need AlGore anymore.  What Huffpo needs for The One to notice them.

"Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted"

Apparently Mr. Gore has apologized and is coming out with a new movie called "An Inconvenient Truth II: How man-made CO2 emissions are leading to catastrophic global cooling".

Shoot, since the guy's on a roll, maybe he'll call out the Dem's to apologise for Fannie and Freddie too. I mean, it ain't all that hard to get banned from Huffpo.

Good Find Noel. I read the piece and it couldn't have been told better. Both scientific and historically informative. I guess I'm a bit surprized the didn't so the Sharon Stone karma card and say since "O" was elected, the world would will settle down and lose it's fever.

I have to say I will give some props to HuffPost for at least publishing this article. Yeah they buried it, but that is more than most of the MSM would do. I hope this means that there will be an opening to logically discuss this issue. That being said I used to like Arianna back when she was on our side. She was the only reason I watched Politically Incorrect, I hope her ideology will switch again and she can burn all the liberals that have been bankrolling her, but we shouldn't let her back in our camp, just laugh our butts off!

I fervently pray that Al Gore is exposed for the phoney that he is and that this global warming hysteria is finally proven to be nothing more than another lie from liberals, looking for new ways to fund their give-away programs.

It won't take much for this congress to pass cap and trade legislation that will bankrupt this country.  They have morons like Henry Waxman in high places and Pelosi is inclined to pass all of this stuff.  The only hope is in the Senate where RINO's inhabit the space and you just never know how much common sense they have.   It's pretty scary. 

If Gore is forced to prove his theories, which he can't, the Dems will have to back off of their  plans.  One can only hope.

Once again, Gore is really no different than Bernie Madoff, he's just scamming people with a different product.  It's time to nail him for the fraud he is.  

Election 2008-God's way of showing us that elections count.  

They had hoped to have the agenda in place before the next cooling cycle started, when they could have taken credit for it and then boasted of their success in controlling both the ecology and the economy.  Alas, nature moved too fast for them.

How was the agenda to work? There is no aspect of your life, from the moment you are conceived until long after you’re dead and buried that does not involve converting matter into CO2.  Once government bureaucracies getsthe power to regulate the emission of CO2, there is absolutely no activity that you partake in life that will not be subject to regulating by people you’ve never seen, heard of, or voted for.  Sure, today they’ll talk about regulating politically-incorrect activities such asowning SUVs and jetting off to the Bahamas.  But once those carbon-spewing evils arevanquished, what will be next?  Sooner or later, they will work their way down to either some activity that you enjoy in your life, or worse, some activity that represents your livelihood.

Until very recently, the left (and even some of the supposed right) was firmly behind this.  But now nature has prematurely intervened, and there are cracks in the coalition.  Hopefully, Mr. Gore’s “consensus” will beseen for what it is before we have a President who is willing to bet his legacy on this fraud.

I just received and have been reading "Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years" by S. Fred Singer and Dennis T. Avery.  Mr. Ambler's article touches on a number of issues discussed in Singer's book.  Here is an excerpt from a customer review at Amazon:

 Since the 1,500 year cycle was discovered in the early 1980's it's general characteristics have been confirmed by measurements in: tree rings (living, preserved and fossilized), pollen, coral, glaciers, boreholes, stalagmites, tree lines, and sea sediments. The most recent cycles have been recorded in human history with forced migrations, starvation, and disease during the cold portion of the cycle and greater population, expanded farm land, greater crop variety, and extra building during the warm portion.

The causes of the 1,500 year cycle are not well understood although 600 of them have been identified in the last million years. This permits us to be relatively confident that we have been moving into the warm phase of the cycle for the last 150 years. It also suggests that we may have one or two degrees more warming if we are to get to the typical high of the warm phase.

...The chapter on "The Sun-Climate Connection" was probably written before the publication of Hendrik Svensmark and team's experimental paper on low level cloud formation "Experimental evidence for the role of ions in particle nucleation under atmospheric conditions" (17 August 2006). Although they cite his previous work this latest paper adds experimental verification under controlled laboratory conditions for the solar winds participation in the formation of low level (high albedo) clouds. Once again carbon dioxide was conspicuous as a non-participant. (my emphasis)

The prologue of the book has a graph that shows 219,000 years of temperature variation.  What was apparent to a non-scientist like myself is that periods when large portions of the earth are not covered with ice amount to a very small portion of the time.  Of the last 200,000 years or so, only about 15% of that total time has been non-glacial!  We are currently in an "interglacial" period, quote:

Cycles in Earth's relation to the sun produce alternating Ice Ages (lasting 90,000 to 100,000 years) and "interglacials" (lasting 10,000 to 20,000 years).  The onset of the glacial period is often slow but ends abruptly at the transition to the warm period.  The average global temperature changes 5 to 7 degrees C at this transition but may rise as much as 10 to 15 degrees C over a time span 0of less than seventy-five years at higher latitudes.

Note that I have an updated edition that does include the work of Svensmark.  Singer and Avery offer cites to hundreds of scientific papers that back up their work and stated that they left out hundreds more for the sake of space and time.  They not only discuss in detail the 1500 year cycle that has been documented in many locations on the earth, but also in many different forms such as ice cores, glacial gravel doppings, pollen samples, tree rings, ocean floor sediments, etc.  They also discuss other factors that drive changes in the earth's climate over long periods of time including this:

...reconstructed the Earth's temperature record for the last 500 million years, using the calcium and magnesium isotopes in fossilized seashells.  (Half a billion years is how long the Earth's marine creatures have made seashells.)  He was surprised to find a major global warming-cooling cycle every 135 million years, a time period that coincides with no earthly phenomenon. 

...Veizer and Shaviv conclude that 75% of the Earth's temperature variability in the past 500 million years is due to changes in the varying bombardment by cosmic rays as we pass in and out ot the spiral arms of the Milky Way.  They write, "Our approach, based on entirely independent studies from astrophysics and geosciences, yields a surprisingly consistent picture of climate evolution on geological time scales.  The global climate possesses a stabilizing negative feedback.  A likely candidate for such a feedback is cloud cover." 

Another point they make is why are we afraid of global warming?  The Midieval Warm Period was warmer than what we have now and people flourished.  Would these AGW- oops!- Climate Change idiots prefer to go back to an era where there was a mile thick layer of ice over where Chicago now sits???  And how do they think they are going to change anything using the hand of man?  Check out this picture of a sunspot.  The accompanying text states "the sunspot had two dark cores each wider than Earth connected by active magnetic filaments thousands of kilometers long".  Look at that- each of those sunspots is the size of an earth!  And we now know, as Singer discusses, that when we have a solar minimum, as we do now, the earth is more affected by cosmic rays from outside the galaxy, due to the probable decrease in the solar wind.  And Gore and his disciples are going to change the "warming" cycle.  Right.  What a scam.
