Global warming: Al Gore's convenient untruth freezes over
You have to wrap up well against this global warming. Over the past 48 hours the temperature has fallen as low as -12C in Dorset, with the sea at Poole Harbour frozen up to 20 yards from shore, and parts of Britain colder than Greenland. Phew, what a scorcher! Might be a good idea to start up the car (if it will start) and pump some more CO2 into the atmosphere before we freeze to death. What did the media warn us about climate change?
[...]That apocalyptic warning came from Fortune magazine – in 1974, when it was alerting readers to an imminent new Ice Age (!!!). By 2006 it had conformed to the latest fashion and had revised its doomsday scenario to: “The media agrees with the majority of scientists: global warming is here. Now, what to do about it?” So much for the media as climatic arbiter.
In the current climate, Fortune’s earlier scenario seems more plausible. [...] Bad luck for Al Gore, who used the image of a hurricane emerging from a smoke stack to promote his fantasy extravaganza An Inconvenient Truth. The core ice samples featured in Gore’s film actually proved that increased CO2 emissions have historically followed 800 years after warm periods – but what the hell, this ain’t science, it’s politics. Just how we are supposed to influence carbon emissions when mankind is only responsible for 3.5 per cent of them is unclear.

February 2003: Eight Reasons Why ‘Global Warming’ Is a Scam
1. Most scientists do not believe human activities threaten to disrupt the Earth’s climate.
2. Our most reliable sources of temperature data show no global warming trend.
3. Global climate computer models are too crude to predict future climate changes.
4. The IPCC did not prove that human activities are causing global warming.
5. A modest amount of global warming, should it occur, would be beneficial to the natural world and to human civilization.
6. Efforts to quickly reduce human greenhouse gas emissions would be costly and would not stop Earth’s climate from changing.
7. Efforts by state governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are even more expensive and threaten to bust state budgets.
8. The best strategy to pursue is “no regrets.” Time for Common Sense
The global warming scare has enabled environmental advocacy groups to raise billions of dollars in contributions and government grants. It has given politicians (from Al Gore down) opportunities to pose as prophets of doom and slayers of evil corporations. And it has given bureaucrats at all levels of government, from the United Nations to city councils, powers that threaten our jobs and individual liberty.
It is time for common sense to return to the debate over protecting the environment. An excellent first step would be to end the “global warming” scam.
