Last week was a bad week for the climate scaremongers. Reports Britain’s Daily Mail:
Monday: Dire warnings from UN ‘experts’, linking catastrophic floods and hurricanes to rising temperatures, are found to be based on a ‘completely misleading’ use of data from a report that’s been retracted by its author.
Tuesday: Government chief scientist Professor John Beddington rebukes climate specialists, telling them they must be more ‘honest and open’ about the uncertainties of global warming.
Thursday: The notorious climate change unit at the University of East Anglia - centre of the ‘Climategate’ emails scandal - is found to have broken the law by refusing to release data.
This follows last week’s humiliating admission by Dr Rajendra Pachauri, head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, that there was no evidence to support his warning the Himalayan glaciers could melt within 25 years.
Momentous decisions, involving trillions of pounds, depend on the findings of climate-change scientists.
Is it too much to ask that they feed us facts instead of propaganda?
A few more exposes and maybe the alarmists will have to start telling the truth. Nah … .

Mr. Bandow! Where do your sources get their facts?! Tsk, tsk, tsk! For shame! Has Bob vetted these facts? Has he done a longitudinal study and put the data through a logical data model analysis or has Bob even read your so called "articles" and shared his logic with you? Puuuuullllleeeeezzzzzzzz! Bob has graphs and charts and the IPCC study LOADED with charts and graphs! So go sell you Fox news, Sarah Palin, Rush Beck opinions elsewhere!

Here's a fact. I can increase methane output by eating very hot chili while drinking beer. The methane is a potent greenhouse gas, the effect of warming in the local area are immediate.

Jeff | 1.31.10 @ 6:10PM
Millions of so called educated people around the world use AGW as the basis for their world view. Some of them will no go quietly and will deny this is a fraud for years to come. Soon they be looked at like the JFK or moon landing kooks.
When your entire world view was based on a fraud that was perpetrated for power and money you may have tough time with the truth. This will make some people mentally unstable.
Pete | 1.31.10 @ 7:17PM
Eric Carman, who the hell is Bob? What article are you responding to? What the hell are you talking about? The 'facts' in the article which Mr. Bandow is quoting verbatim are pretty much just plain old facts. Charts and graphs? You mean that look like hockey sticks? Who's Bob?
Lullaby's, Legends and Lies| 1.31.10 @ 7:27PM
Pete: You should be embarrassed if you don't know who Bob is. Bob is famous the World over, for his charts and graphs, that prove every point in the World, or at least the ones that Bob supports. And Eric here, he's just being sarcastic, again, as always.
Eric Cartman| 1.31.10 @ 11:26PM
Thank you, L Cubed. I didn't think I would need to explain Bob ;-)
Patriot| 1.31.10 @ 11:38PM
Pete's lucky he hasn't been subjected to the maniacal rants of the chart and graph wielding Bob.
I'm sure you'll get your turn with the arrogant, nasty little troll, Pete--you lucky fool, you.
BHG| 1.31.10 @ 7:32PM
Pete:
Bob is a frequent contributor to blog posts on this site and rather a joke for his condescending, I've-got-all-the-facts and experts on my side. defense of any Obamaniac nuttiness going. Eric did a spot-on send-up of the the Old Sponge Man's methods and tone. ROTFL
tonypal| 1.31.10 @ 7:41PM
BHG, I'm sure Bob will have a chart to refute your post.
Pete| 1.31.10 @ 7:56PM
Underlined Pete. I concur with the above. Bob is to be mocked for his arrogance (like Obama, coincidentally) and generally avoided unless you feel like having some sport.

CARBON TAX IS THEFT - PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

If I remember correctly, those countries that have adopted the so called 'carbon tax' have difficulty tracking just where the monies go.
NASA, who is going down because of Barry Obama, is even complicit in the Global Warming/Climate Change debate. They even falsified data with no transparency what so ever. As with the Health Care Reform debate neither is Constitutional.
Xenos| 2.1.10 @ 12:12PM
AGW has always been a house of cards. The only reason that its proponents haven't been laughed off the stage is because the International Progressive Media has been acting as the svengali pimp for pseudo-science - reassuring the world that AGW is real and that the left-wing ideologues in the climate science establishment are actually noble altruists who should be believed without question.
republicanblack| 2.1.10 @ 3:46PM
well, look I think conservatives and republicans have it wrong when it comes to global warming. As a conservative myself, I thought that global warming was a big LIE, and it may be, but after looking at this article I have come to the understanding that maybe it is not so bad of an idea, there is a bigger scheme behind this whole debate. I would like to share it with you and I hope you come to my same conclusion, I'm sure you will:

Global Warming/Climate Change… Greatest scam in history! « The Technology of Business links to this page. Here’s an excerpt:
John A. Jauregui| 2.6.10 @ 2:44PM
The national media’s continued silence on ClimateGate and increasing revelations of outright fraud and wrongdoing at all levels of government, academia and the media itself, tells the truth of the tail. That truth is there's a lot more to this ClimateGate story than what little is being reported. The small (2 to 3 dozen) international cabal of climate scientists could not have possibly gotten to this point without extraordinary funding, political support at virtually all levels of government, especially at the national level and unparalleled cooperation from the national and world media. This wide-spread networked support continues even as we the people puzzle over what this is all about. I ask you, "What are you seeing and hearing from our national media on the subject?" Anything? What are you seeing and hearing from all levels of our government, local and regional newspapers and media outlets? Anything of substance? At all of these levels the chatter has remained remarkably quite on the subject, wouldn't you say? Why? What points and positions are you beginning to hear on the radio and see on the television? This cabal of scientists has an unprecedented level of support given the revelations contained in the emails, documented in the computer software code and elaborated in the associated programmer remarks (REM) within the code. And ---- this has gone on for years, AND continues even in the presence of the most damning evidence one could imagine, or even hope for. Watergate pales in comparison, given the trillions of dollars in carbon offset taxes, cap & trade fees hanging in the balance and the unimaginable political control over people’s lives this all implies. The mainstream media's conspiracy of silence proves the point. Their continued cover-up is as much a part of this crime as the actual scientific fraud. ABC, CBS and NBC are simply co-conspirators exercising their 5th Amendment rights.
