Thousands of scientists sign petition against global warming Print E-mail

It’s about time that liberals like Al Gore come up with a new crisis. Global warming (climate change) is running out of steam.

Bob Unruh of WorldNetDaily reported that 31,000 U.S. scientists - 9,000 with doctorate degrees in atmospheric science, climatology, Earth science, environment and other specialties - have signed a petition rejecting global warming.

The list of scientists includes 9,021 Ph.D.s, 6,961 at the master’s level, 2,240 medical doctors and 12,850 carrying a bachelor of science or equivalent academic degree.

Global warming assumes that human production of greenhouse gases is destroying the Earth’s climate.

According to the petition, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases 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.”

The Petition Project www.petitionproject.org   has been underway for 10 years. It’s a gradual movement but it was spurred on by the release of Gore’s “documentary” An Inconvenient Truth.

Gore’s movie claims there is a “consensus” and “settled science” about human-caused global warming. It was particularly unsettling because teachers all across the country showed the movie to students to indoctrinate them in global warming.

“Unfortunately, Mr. Gore’s movie contains many very serious incorrect claims which no informed, honest scientist could endorse,” said project spokesman and founder Art Robinson.

Robinson said Gore’s folly has gone so far that it is damaging people’s lives.

“The campaign to severely ration hydrocarbon energy technology has now been markedly expanded,” he said. “In the course of this campaign, many scientifically invalid claims about impending climate emergencies are being made. Simultaneously, proposed political actions to severely reduce hydrocarbon use now threaten the prosperity of Americans and the very existence of hundreds of millions of people in poorer countries,” Robinson said.

Is this politics versus science? Yes. Which is more dangerous, Gore’s false claims or the policies that spring from his deception?

Liberals blame global warming for recent shark attacks off the shore of California, typhoons, earthquakes and just about any natural disaster.

And the effort is aimed at the pocketbook of every American.

Our federal government is close to an international agreement that would ration our use of energy. The targets are coal, oil, natural gas and other organic compounds.

But honest research shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide is environmentally helpful.

This energy agreement would really hurt emerging economies that are trying to lift their people out of extreme poverty and into modern lifestyles. That includes about four billion people.

The 1997 Kyoto Agreement was signed by then-President Bill Clinton but never ratified by the U.S. Senate. If a Democrat is elected president and the Democrats gain more seats in the Senate, it could become law in this country.

There is no reason for the United States to import energy. We have the natural resources, the technology and the initiative to provide all our needs domestically.

We lack the political willpower.

The United Nations is trying to ban research into oil research, exploration and development. They think their agenda must prevail. Their goal is wealth redistribution through vilification of hydrocarbons.

America was built on freedom. We don’t want people from other countries telling us we can’t drive cars or expand our businesses.

When America prospers, the entire world prospers.

The Petition Project website  www.petitionproject.org>  reports  there are 31,072 scientists who have signed up and that list is growing.

This is further complicated as Sen. John McCain makes statements that he believes in global warming and it will be a top priority if he is elected president. He wants to be the “environmental president” or the next Teddy Roosevelt.

My hope is that this is simply campaign rhetoric to lure liberal Democrats and Republicans to vote for him.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton would rush to change our laws to accommodate local and international environmentalists.

They would be worse than McCain because they support wealth distribution through confiscatory taxation and internationalism. We’ll all be riding bicycles to work for four years if they get elected.

McCain is unwittingly supporting wealth distribution. If he were to sign on to his own party’s platform, he would reject global warming (climate change) and embrace real science.

Humans have little impact on the weather.

Conservatives want a clean, healthy environment. We don’t want industrial pollution.

But we want jobs, we want a decent standard of living and we want a middle class.

Al Gore and his radical environmental fascists want to run every facet of our lives. And we can’t let them do that in the land of the free and the home of the brave.  Read rest...
