The Environmental Spectator
Award-Winning Boat Anchors
The phrase “global warming” is gone with the wind.
Irony is so much sweeter when its victims have slathered their false assertions with syrupy arrogance and mocking mix-ins.
Trouble is, the excess almost always causes a tummy ache.
Not to mention brain freeze, which Al Gore, NASA’s James Hansen, and the rest of the environmentalist gorgers now suffer when pairing “global” and “warming.” The New York Times on Sunday reported that a polling firm has learned that the word combo – trumpeted in a multiyear mass media blitz – is now nowhere near as popular as “peanut butter and jelly,” or even “peas and carrots:”
The problem with global warming, some environmentalists believe, is “global warming.”
The term turns people off, fostering images of shaggy-haired liberals, economic sacrifice and complex scientific disputes, according to extensive polling and focus group sessions conducted by ecoAmerica, a nonprofit environmental marketing and messaging firm in Washington.
And we thought global warming-inspired visions of granola-munching, Birkenstock-clad, organic-farming, tree-hugging, smelling-up-the-commune hippies were limited to us conservative types. How wrong we were – now even real people surveyed by environmental consultants believe the same thing!
That doesn’t mean the eco-activists served by ecoAmerica haven’t become smarter and stronger. Despite their failure to capture the minds and hearts of average Americans with their pro-green propaganda, they kicked so much sand in the faces of corporate cowards like Enron, GE and BP that those bag-of-bones executives believed environmentalism went mainstream. These weaklings went off and bulked up their eco-cred so the beach girls would call them wimps no more. Now they use their newfound muscle to browbeat exemptions and favors for themselves in global warming legislation pushed by Democratic water-carriers.
But impressing the bubbleheads on the beach is not the same as wooing those in flyover country. The ecoAmerica report is only the most recent discovery. Last month Rasmussen reported that only one-third of voters now believe humans cause global warming, while nearly half (48 percent) believe it is due to long-term planetary trends. This continued a trend noticed in January by Rasmussen on the issue. Meanwhile the venerable pollster in February found also that 54 percent of voters believe the media excessively hypes the dangers posed by global warming.
But that’s not all, no that’s not all, as I cited in March for American Spectator:
Pew also found in January that of 20 policy issues it asked people to rank in importance, global warming fell last. In addition, a poll by the National Center for Public Policy Research last summer found an overwhelming majority of Americans do not want to spend any more on gasoline or electricity to address global warming, as is proposed under the Lieberman/Warner bill.
And finally, this week Gallup found a record-high 41 percent believe the media exaggerates the threat of global warming. “This represents the highest level of public skepticism about mainstream reporting on global warming seen in more than a decade of Gallup polling on the subject,” the polling firm reported.
As you can see, Al Gore, his sycophants, and his multi-million-dollar nonprofit mafia are tethered to the phrase that started it all – “global warming” – which they no longer warm to.
It worked so well for them in their heyday. They received media love every time NASA’s James Hansen exposed his rump for their smoochin’. And proponents can credit a million megatons of award hardware thanks to “global warming,” including Oscars, a Grammy, and the Nobel Peace Prize.
Now it’s a boat anchor. According to ecoAmerica, instead of messaging with “global warming,” alarmists would be better off using terms like “our deteriorating atmosphere” and “climate change.” The latter phrase has been utilized almost exclusively by the environoiacs and their journalist template-followers the last couple of years, since global warming isn’t.
But it’s hard to break from their roots. The crisis-promoters so effectively rat-a-tatted the panic of melting icebergs, homeless polar bears, and a million more Katrinas that “global warming” dangers – now understood to be a lie – is embedded in the perceptions of middle Americans. Gore, Hansen and company own it. They loved it when the ship set sail, but scurry like the proverbial rats now that the truth (that is, no warming in a dozen years) has run their cause aground.
And without “global warming,” they lose their justification for the massive energy taxes they wanted that was supposed to combat it. Even many who they thought were their allies can’t buy into it (PDF).
May the trophies be a nice consolation prize.

In three decades we will laugh at global warming the same way we laugh at the oncoming ice age of the '70s. Of course there will be a new environmental crises then to take its place, maybe two!

'Dave Mathews' is right...it's the 21st century...and there has been no measurable warming of the earth's climate at all during the entire 21st century....but he and his fellow reactionaries would lead us on a triumphant return to the 19th century if anAL GOREtentive and the Luddites have their way....but then that is the whole point....a return to pre-industrial dark age....'Dave Mathews' just doesn't have enough hair on his itty bitty reactionary pee pee to admit it

Global Warming is an IQ test. The smarter people never took it seriously, the dumber still do. The dumbest will be the last person to take it seriously.
Global Warming also tests souls. It's an idol, taken seriously by those who choose to worship idols.
Robbins Mitchell| 5.6.09 @ 7:40AM
If those of us who can refute the 'theory' of anthropogenic global warming with actual scientific data were as 'irrelevant' as 'Dave Mathews' would like to believe,he wouldn't be spending so much time and effort here spewing his ad hominems....and that's really all he has to try and persuade people with...which alone should serve to underscore the desperation of he and his fellow collectivist reactionary Luddites
Robbins Mitchell| 5.6.09 @ 8:10AM
If 'Dave Mathews' and anAL GOREtentive and their coterie of climate Cassandras (how's that for alliteration?) really believe that carbon dioxide is the cause of 'global warming',they should man up and do the intellectually honest thing...kill themselves...and since 'Dave Mathews' believes that civilization is dying anyway,he really has no valid reason to stick around anyway....but they won't do that...like typical Malthusians,they expect others to make the sacrifice while they determine what constitutes a 'sustainable' society...and therein lies the rub....they AREN'T intellectually honest....but then 'Dave Mathews' makes that blatantly apparent with every post....I'm outta her....gotta go enlarge my carbon footprint
Robert Rosencrans| 5.6.09 @ 8:28AM
Unfortunately, the discovery that the public is turned off on the term Global Warming will lead to the establishment of the Bureau of Misinformation, wasting more taxpayer dollars in search of terms that the public believe in whether they are meaningful in reality or not.

The whole CO2 scare was nonsense to begin with. CO2 is a naturally occurring substance emitted by dogs, cats, cows, people, wood peckers, robins, lions, tigers, bears, chimpanzees, whales, dolphins, gold fish, flies, mosquitoes and ants.
CO2 is a food source for pines, oaks, daffodils, lilacs, grass, corn, wheat, dandelions, plankton and Dave Mathews.
The whole scare was nuts from day one.

To: David Mathews
First.. You keep believing that CO2 is a pollutant. Breathing it out is anathema to your philosophy.. so there is a way you can do your part.
Second.. You have quite a few nice pictures on your photo stream. I would encourage people to go see them. Funny thing how some of those flowers and plants wouldn't do so well without the naturally occurring CO2 that those SCIENTISTS in the supreme court have declared is a pollutant.
You can hate Rush, Conservatives, Republicans all you like. Demonstrating that fact doesn't solve any of the problems you claim exist. You and others like yourself are being USED by that PIG Al Gore, Pelosi, and the other authoritarian freaks in government to move THEIR agendas of power.
A Little objective reasoning is in order. If Al Gore truly believes in what he states, would he not have sacrificed an hour of his own comfort during "earth hour?" What about Obama, who jets around with a great big carbon footprint. Or Pelosi? She likes HER jet too!! You.. the proletariat, are too smelly and unworthy to enjoy her company while she commutes between "la-la" land and.. ummm "LA LA" land. so her fat carbon print belies her stated concerns right?
Here's the deal.. I conserve. I bought a toilet which I only have to flush once. I separate my cardboard. I turn off my lights at night. I do all that I can so what I consume does not go to waste. It is a matter of conscience. But there are people who take advantage of causes for their own personal ends. In this case, the "elite" left, working on the guilt of being human attempts to farm some of the self loathing it produces, for the power and financial reward
Your very photos show some of the symbiotic greatness humans have with the other creatures on the earth. The eagles nesting in the wonderful towers MAN created.. Great flower beds for all to appreciate.. And there are plenty of other examples as well.
We are not locusts. And those of us who disagree with the Al Gores of the left, do so with scientific agreement that isn't counting on a government grant or rule to make it so. Logic, is a powerful mind altering drug that can replace the placebo of feel good rhetoric which emanates from the current "green" movement. Its worth a look.
Carpenter| 5.6.09 @ 9:23AM
There is little point engaging in conversation or debate with the "David Matthews" of this world, except to learn about the psychoses of the left. He has never shown any evidence of rational thinking or education beyond high school. He relies on ad hominem insults, taunts and arrogance in place of honest intellect. He is full of hatred: of himself, as well as the human race. A sad and pathetic character to be pitied. The worst aspect to the revelation he gives us is that he is so similar to many American citizens and voters. Study him and learn.

He is a smarmy, condescending little punk who only tosses ad hominem attacks and insults. period. Ignore him maybe he will go away.
Indiana Alex| 5.6.09 @ 9:41AM
I think David Mathews is getting his talking points from Joe Biden, who makes all the Republicans he mentions look like Albert Freaking Einstein.
Dave, the majority of people in this country realize the hoax of global warming, which is why it is now referred to as "climate change".
It is a hoax created by liberals, who always have a crisis which requires us to destroy our economy, and return to the stone age, where they believe they can better compete.
After reading your posts, you are absolutely right to continue in your quest.
There is no way you can compete in this reality.
Patrick| 5.6.09 @ 9:43AM
The Earth has cooled over the past 10 years. This coincides with reduced sun activity i.e. sun spots, etc. End of the story. There is no global warming. Hey, weather happens. Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling for hundreds of millions of years long before man become the dominate species on the planet. Of course, those silly liberals will say anything to perpetuate the myth of global warming. Heck, I'm sure they blame warming during the Jurasick period on dinosaur farts.

Mathews, I KNOW you just didn't comment on a scientific journal piece. DID YOU?? You can't even tie your shoes without you mommie coaching you. You are going to try and defend failed global atmospheric theory? Dude, you amaze me.
Do a little research into the actual science of global atmospheric varriance and you will find millions of years of history, preserved in fossil and soil samples, showing much warmer periods as well as ice ages that followed. I appreciate that you will love-and-kiss anything liberal (as you do every day as a liberal troll on tihs site) but the global warming myth has failed. You are still making yourself look the fool, dude!
BTW: did you see that the board staff deleted all your ranting posts yesterday? You simply SUCK!
Real Science| 5.6.09 @ 11:54AM
Unfortunately, "David Mathews" exemplifies the modern liberal individual who, while proclaiming to follow science, is as closed-minded to real science as the Catholic Church was in the days of Galileo. Real science involves following the scientific method: that of patiently observing nature, recording observations, drawing up hypotheses, testing those hypotheses, forming theories, testing theories, and drawing conclusions only after painstaking research. Global warming "scientists" have formed their conclusions by observing that, for the past 150 years or so, the U.S. has been in a warming period. They then create computer models which show that, given this continued pattern, disaster will happen unless mankind changes its evil ways. On the micro-level, this is akin to a person waking up in the morning, going outside at 9 a.m., and noting that it's 60 degrees out. At noon, this person goes outside again and notes that it's 70 degrees out. Then, at 4 p.m., he goes outside again, and notes that it's 80 degrees out. Given this information, he "logically" concludes that -- OH NO! -- in four days, we will all burn up!!!!! Of course, not following the scientific method, this person has failed to note that the day's warming has simply followed the cooler night, and is followed again by another cooling nighttime period. Of course the U.S. is in a warming period, following the last ice age. Credible geologists seem to think that we are at the crest of yet another ice age today, following this warming period.
How about another example of the liberal's ignorance of science. Noting the scientifically-proven tendencies of species to adapt to their surroundings, and noting that this seems to occur randomly throughout nature, many folks have quite logically assumed that mankind started as apes, changing and developing into what we are today. Logical theoretical assumption, given the facts of human physical adaptability, but still hardly following the scientific method. Along comes true scientists who also note that, when studying things at the molecular and cellular level, nothing happens randomly, but, instead, all things at that level have a cause, and what do the liberals say? FAITH BASED! YOU CAN'T BRING GOD INTO A SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION! Ignoring the true scientific method, liberals like "David Mathews" tend to act just like the Catholic Church did in Galileo's time. Call everyone who disagrees with your unscientific assumptions names, denigrate them, and pass them off as fools. The true fools are those who do not follow the scientific method. True scientific method will always lead us to the Truth. But computer models which can always be affected by the GIGO principle cannot be correct unless the painstaking process of scientific method and all the facts of scientific method are included in the model.
"Dave Mathew's" rantings sound just like the Catholic Church did in Galileo's day. Of course "science" shows that the world is flat, Dave. Don't worry; future generations will prove you correct, Dave. Of course you're right.

Hilarious. You quote an article that is a theory and present it as established fact ! LOL
The UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predicted a 0.3-degree C rise in temperature in the coming decade -- not a cooling or even just temperature stability ! Even Rajendra Pachauri, the head of the IPCC, reluctantly admitted that there has been no warming so far in the 21st Century!
Your gaia cult assumes that CO@ antedates temperatures. A BIG LIE. CO@ does not,never has,antedated temperatures. It lags by as much as 800 years.
CO2 is only about 0.038% of the atmosphere and only 3.6 per cent of greenhouse gases. Of that only 3.4 to 5% is man-made. CO2 as a result of man's activities was only 3.2 per cent of that, hence only 0.12 per cent of the greenhouse gases in total. Human-related methane, nitrogen dioxide and CFCs etc made similarly minuscule contributions to the effect: 0.066, 0.047 and 0.046 per cent respectively.
There was global cooling from 1940 to 1979, this means there has been no net warming since 1940, is spite of an 800% increase in human emissions of CO2.
NASA announced the return of PDO cooling via their ARGO buoys .PDO and specifically solar flux have had a 79 percent correlation with the earth’s temps since 1860,not CO2.
You don`t know what you`re talking about.

Marc Jeric| 5.6.09 @ 2:44PM
1) There was first in the 1970's the globaloney cooling scam (see e.g. Newsweek April 28 1975 on the internet); the government-paid scientists (90% of them are rejects of private enterprise) recommended to fight the new ice age by sending our war planes to cover the polar ice with soot in order to increase solar heat and prevent crushing of New York skyscrapers by the new glaciers;
2) When that did not work we had the globaloney warming hoax in the 1990's, proclaimed by mainly the same government-paid scientists (Dr. Hansen of the NOAA, for example); to prevent the massive heating, fires, flooding of coastal cities, disappearance of Florida, California, and Caribbean islands, massive hurrucanes, global famine, and other catastrophic events we should nationalize oil and gas and coal and electricity companies;
3) after 11 years of considerable cooling we are now faced with the climate change flimflam where whatever happens with our climate we should nationalize oil and gas and coal and electricity companies; and why not our banks, car companies while we are at it. To prevent this catastrophe the best vehicle presumably is international agreements enforced by the United Nations world government.
As for the influence of carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas: on a normal day the atmoshere contains 10,000 ppm (parts per million) of water vapor and about 300 ppm of carbon dioxide. The government-paid scientists say that an increase of 100 ppm of CO2 over the next 50 years will result in a catastrophic warming. The thermal absorptivity of water vapor is 4 times larger than that of carbon dioxide; it follows that the CO2 increase will increase the overall thermal absorptivity of the mixture by about 1/4 of one percent. The production of methane from livestock and the swamps (or as the enviro-nazis call those "wetlands") vastly surpasses the influence of CO2.
There is the Global Warming Petition Project (see Internet) where 31,478 US independent scientists declared that there is no anthropogenic (human-caused) global warming; of these 9,029 are scientists with PhD degrees. Our enviro-nazi tried to sabotage this effort by submiiting phony names withphoney degrees - and then claimed the whole effort by the Petition scientists was a fraud. It took us 3 years and a lot of private moneyt to verify the credentials of all the signatories and clean up the Petition of those saboteurs. See also Manhattan Declaration with more such signatories, plus a large number of scientific groups from other countries who state the same.
I am one of these signatories, MS and PhD degrees from UCLA, with majors in thermodynamics and heat & mass transfer.
I think to fight this communist attempt to secure a world government should not be fought on the narrow grounds of more taxes - that is the losing proposition; where about 50% of the population is on some kind of welfare we will always be outvoted. The battle should be fought and won on the firm scientific basis.
SCAM - HOAX - FLIMFLAM!!!

I find it endlessly fascinating that while conservative websites will generally leave the comments sections of their postings to fend for themselves, absent clearly libelous or threatening language, liberal to leftist sites will invariably remove posts they disagree with. It does not matter whether a Republican troll posts there or a conservative with a sane, respectful rebuttal offers an opinion...the post is removed.
I do not suggest that conservative sites adopt this practice necessarily, but removing obvious trolls keeps the conversation at a level of civilized discourse that is good for all sides of public policy debates.
Frankly, I can see no useful reason to continue indulging gasbags in their gasbaggery.

cosmo| 5.6.09 @ 8:22PM
Just like a typical liberal (David Matthews) to defame and use slander as opposed to use actual facts and have a discussion. "The title of Unstoppable Global Warming, Every 1,500 Years refers to cycles of warming and cooling on a much smaller scale than Phanerozoic time, indeed, just since the end of the last Glacial, about 10,000 years ago. For several thousand years after that, the Earth was relatively much warmer than it is now -- the Climatic Optimum, which Singer and Avery, unlike Al Gore, have no reason not to mention. Since then, the cycles of climate change are reasonably evident for about the last 2000 years. Thus, we go from the Roman Warming of the early years AD, to the Dark Ages Cooling, to the Mediaeval Warming -- the Little Climatic Optimum -- to the Little Ice Age, and finally to the warming trend that has continued since around 1850." (Singer and Avery)....great book with scientific facts where warming is not refuted shows much more evidence that warming is *not* man made. Most CO2 is natural (water vapor from the oceans) and is not been proven to be warming the earth. Now you're going to call me a name I bet.

westcoast barbie,
If Dave Matthews doesn't mind, I'll put forward a scientific argument in his defense: CO2 is a greenhouse gas responsible for between 10 and 30 percent of the greenhouse effect.
http://www.grist.org/article/water-vapor-accounts-for-almost-all-of-the-greenhouse-effect
Doubling CO2 (which is almost inevitable at this point) is the equivalent of pulling an extra blanket over youself.
