Have you heard of global warming? Who hasn’t! It’s in the news and on TV; everywhere you look and listen. If the mainstream TV, news and print media aren’t declaring a state of chaotic global warming then Hollywood stars and former politicians are. It’s hard to avoid hearing someone talk about how the earth it warming up, our lives are in danger and the end of the world is coming if we don’t act now to stop it - as if we can control the weather and temperatures around the world.

Former Vice President Al Gore has been on a rampage around the world pandering his movie “The Convenient Truth” to people that, conveniently for him, believe his story. The truth is, however, he and others like him fail to listen to the experts who really know what’s going on around the world with the climate and nature.

In fact, Al Gore said in his new book, The Assault on Reason, “We must stop tolerating the rejection and distortion of science. We must insist on an end to the cynical use of pseudo-studies known to be false for the purpose of intentionally clouding the public’s ability to discern the truth.”

Maybe someone needs to share his book with him to help him understand what he said because he doesn’t seem to be walking the talk.

Read what James M. Taylor, the senior fellow for environmental policy at the Heartland Institute says in his most recent article, Alarmist global warming claims melt under scientific scrutiny. June 30, 2007

For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Climate reported, “Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame.”

Gore claims the snowcap atop Africa’s Mt. Kilimanjaro is shrinking and that global warming is to blame. Yet according to the November 23, 2003, issue of Nature magazine, “Although it’s tempting to blame the ice loss on global warming, researchers think that deforestation of the mountain’s foothills is the more likely culprit. Without the forests’ humidity, previously moisture-laden winds blew dry. No longer replenished with water, the ice is evaporating in the strong equatorial sunshine.”

Gore claims global warming is causing more tornadoes. Yet the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated in February that there has been no scientific link established between global warming and tornadoes.

Gore claims global warming is causing more frequent and severe hurricanes. However, hurricane expert Chris Landsea published a study on May 1 documenting that hurricane activity is no higher now than in decades past. Hurricane expert William Gray reported just a few days earlier, on April 27, that the number of major hurricanes making landfall on the U.S. Atlantic coast has declined in the past 40 years. Hurricane scientists reported in the April 18 Geophysical Research Letters that global warming enhances wind shear, which will prevent a significant increase in future hurricane activity.

Gore claims global warming is causing an expansion of African deserts. However, the Sept. 16, 2002, issue of New Scientist reports, “Africa’s deserts are in ’spectacular’ retreat . . . making farming viable again in what were some of the most arid parts of Africa.”

Gore argues Greenland is in rapid meltdown, and that this threatens to raise sea levels by 20 feet. But according to a 2005 study in the Journal of Glaciology, “the Greenland ice sheet is thinning at the margins and growing inland, with a small overall mass gain.” In late 2006, researchers at the Danish Meteorological Institute reported that the past two decades were the coldest for Greenland since the 1910s.

Gore claims the Antarctic ice sheet is melting because of global warming. Yet the Jan. 14, 2002, issue of Nature magazine reported Antarctica as a whole has been dramatically cooling for decades. More recently, scientists reported in the September 2006 issue of the British journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society Series A: Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, that satellite measurements of the Antarctic ice sheet showed significant growth between 1992 and 2003. And the U.N. Climate Change panel reported in February 2007 that Antarctica is unlikely to lose any ice mass during the remainder of the century.

It is becoming clearer and clearer that a vast majority of people and businesses around the world are profiting from the global warming scare. Fight them by finding scientists that study the earth’s climate. Don’t listen to Hollywood stars, politicians, or people who don’t study the cold hard facts. Al Gore is not a scientist. Read article written by people that study the climate. Then you’ll get a better understanding of how the temperatures around the world fluctuate up and down and have done so over hundreds and thousands of years, naturally.
