Global warming is the theory that the earth is warming, caused by the release of greenhouse

gases into the atmosphere. Environmentalists and liberals alike beat into us that we all need to do our

“part” to prevent this warming of the earth. What they don't inform the people, is how little of an

impact that humans have on the earth, and that the greenhouse gasses that we produce actually aren't

harmful like they say. Global warming is a scam, and a bad one at that, and all associated with the scam

of global warming should be discredited for their blatant lies and twisting of the truth to support their

cause, and to brainwash the people to do as they say, while they in turn do nothing to “help”. The entire

premise that global warming is supported by is the political agenda associated with this cause, and of

course a deeper lacking of factual evidence, and a belief of ignorant lies to back up their theories.

Global warming is a scam, and a bad one at that. The people that support global warming are all

full of twisted truth, and full out lies. Al Gore is one of the largest supporters of global warming and

legislation to prevent it, but the reasons why he does are usually unheard. An investigation in 2004

found that the top ten recipients of global warming special interest money were democrats, and among

the top ten were Al Gore, John Kerry, and Barack H. Obama. These findings do not help the global

warming argument, and neither does being proved a liar. Al gore said that his estimate for ocean level

rise as a result of global warming was at 248 inches. For those unaware of what the already liberal

estimate of the United Nations Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (UNIPCC) was, they

estimated the ocean level rise in 2001 to be at seventeen inches. In 2007 they then scaled down their

number to a much more modest fourteen inches. "Al Gore's Apocalyptic yet tropical vision of the future

was based on a water level rise that is about 17 times higher than what the United Nations

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Control is expecting." (Beck 5) There is no margin of error of near

1700% that can be considered factual, or even a mistake, in the least.

Al Gore loves to impose his scary scenarios on to children in the schools that he praises for

1

showing his video, but his evidence is very short of detail and manipulative. He isn't lying, not this

time, when he says that there is a direct correlation between the temperature of the earth over the

course of history, and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Some people would stop right

there questioning how that would be possible, considering that there would be no people there to create

carbon dioxide, only volcanoes, and that that is natural and can't have harmful effects like humans. That

would be where those questions would be 100% correct. Al Gore doesn't mention that the correlation is

not in his favor, in which case he scales out the graph to a point where it would appear the lines

representing temperature, and carbon dioxide go up at the same time. Unfortunately that's just not true.

“Not surprisingly, there is a reason the chart was zoomed out so far. It's because perspective is

everything. If you zoom in, you'll start to see that in many cases the temperature rises before the C o2

rises; sometimes between 800 and 1,000 years earlier. As geologist and paleoclimate expert Dr. Bob

Carter puts it, to say Co2 is the primary cause of temperature change is like saying that lung cancer

causes smoking” (Beck 6).

Political advocates of global warming are most likely bought out by lobbyists, like those

politicians that receive the special interest cash. Of course there are some that are just fanatics with a

controlling regime to cap all emissions. Australia, the best example of this, has the most radical plan to

stop global warming by stopping the sale and use of incandescent light bulbs, and to make their

consumers “choose” the “right” choice. They claim that they are saving hundreds of thousands of

pounds of carbon per year, but what they don't tell you are that they aren't saving as much as they make

you think they are, and they conceal that they are only making a tiny dent in their greenhouse gas

emissions. “It is estimated that greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by 800,000 tones (Australia's

current emission total is 564.7 million tones), a saving of approximately 0.14%” (Frew and Besser).

This type of legislation just impedes on the consumers right to purchase as they please, and make their

own choice in light bulbs, and forces them to buy a more expensive, and less convenient light bulb, one

filled with gasses under pressure that shatters when hit. On top of that, fluorescents do not give the

warm inviting feel of an incandescent, and cannot perform some of the duties incandescent are used for.

Certain cold-blooded animals require the use of an incandescent floodlight to stay warm when

domesticated, but unfortunately fluorescents do not provide that heat. The only alternatives when

incandescent lamps are outlawed are mercury or sodium vapor bulbs, which require extremely high

voltages produced by an expensive transformer, to start the glow of the molecules.

Global warming just can't be true. There is too much hard evidence against it, and statistics

don't lie. Take for instance that “The Climate research Unit at the University of East Anglia reported

that between 1998-2005 the average global temperature did not increase, and there was a small

decrease. The eight year period of no change has no correlation to the SUV's and extra power the world

was consuming, and pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.” (Carter). Of course there will

always be the quick to react environmental that will call your statement absurd and say “how silly to

judge climate change over such a short period. Yet in the next breath, the same person will assure you

that the 28-year-long period of warming which occurred between 1970 and 1998 constitutes a

dangerous (and man-made) warming. Tosh. Our devotee will also pass by the curious additional facts

that a period of similar warming occurred between 1918 and 1940, well prior to the greatest phase of

world industrialization, and that cooling occurred between 1940 and 1965, at precisely the time that

human emissions were increasing at their greatest rate” (Carter). The supporters of global warming, and

all of them do, live in ignorance and simple denial of all the factual evidence that disproves their global

warming theories and hysteria.

The global warming advocates love to create a feel that if you don't do as they say, that you are

3

killing the earth. Unfortunately this is just not true. Al gore loves to tell you that if you don't drive a

hybrid that you are hurting the earth, but what he loves to leave out is that his private jet doesn't run on

solar energy. How about the Copenhagen conference? It was a global warming summit hosted in

Denmark about getting the entire world to support legislation to go green, almost like a new world

order. They had to import limousines into the country, because there were not enough to go around for

all the participants. They also left enough emissions to equal that of a small town. How is it that

participants in a global warming summit, find it perfectly fine to tell their citizens that they should be

driving in hybrids that can get crunched by a falling branch, yet they drive in their gas guzzling

limousines that get 10 mpg, and their private jets that guzzle jet fuel like water.

Now global warming is something that is caused by these so-called “greenhouse gasses”, or

invisible gases, such as carbon dioxide. The problem with that theory is that carbon dioxide can't be all

that bad considering that our body makes carbon dioxide as a byproduct of our bodies use of oxygen in

the air we breathe. Secondly, how can something that plants, which enables us to live, use everyday to

keep alive, be so horrible? We have more trees now than we did in 1920, and we have increased our

output of global-warming “inducing” carbon dioxide every year since the industrial boom back in the

early 40's. That isn't a coincidence, that is the result of the trees reacting to having more food to feed

themselves with, allowing them to grow larger, release more seeds into the wind, and to produce more

offspring, which in turn reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the air, because those trees are also

converting it into human usable oxygen. Another greenhouse gas, and one that is highly unpublicized,

is nitrous oxide. It is the by-product of the digestive process of cows, and other livestock, and has the

“warming ability” of more than 200 times that of carbon dioxide, and is responsible for more of a

percentage of the carbon released into the air every year than the entire automotive sector. This type of

manipulation to persuade people to believe that we are directly responsible for any type of global

4
Evan Berwick May 12, 2010

warming, especially one that hasn't been occurring for the last fifteen years, is ludicrous and should be

ignored, and those who are spieling that nonsense should be shunned and should be ignored by the true

scientific community.

Finally, to get the point that global warming activists and environmentalists are in cahoots with

crazy individuals, the following information will be presented as a means of food for thought. "Michael

T. Eckhart, president of the ACORE sent a threatening missive to Marlo Lewis, senior fellow at the

Washington, D.C. based Competitive Enterprise Institute, which read, " Take this warning from me,

Marlo. It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar. If you produce one more editorial against

global warming, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. I will call you a liar and

charlatan to the Harvard Community of which you and I are members. I will call you out as a man that

has been bought by corporate America. Go ahead, guy. Take me on." (Williams 68). Of course there are

more crazies like this one, like Sen. Inhofe who states, “Global warming driven by greenhouse gas

pollution (but ultimately by greed, racism and lying) is killing our planet,' says an article in “Media

With Conscience”. It goes on to say, 'our Planet, the earth- is under acute threat from Climate Criminals

threatening the Third World with Climate Genocide and Terracide (a new term coined as the killing of

our planet)." (Williams 69). Sen. Inhofe keeps a website attacking the skeptics of global warming, here

at: (http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?fuseaction=Minority.Blogs&contentRecord_id=04373015-

802a-23ad-4bf9-c3f02278f4cf). Of course, it would be rude to end the paragraph without some settling

information, but unfortunately there is none, because global warming is a sad, sad topic. So instead,

here is some information about the deaths of polar bears: “Polar bear numbers increased dramatically

from around 5,000 in 1950 to as many as 25,000 today, higher than any time in the 20th century”

(Williams 67). Interesting. So polar bears aren't dieing and reaching extinction? It must just be one of

5
Evan Berwick May 12, 2010

those “deeper lacking of factual evidence, and a belief of ignorant lies,” (Berwick 1) taught as a scare

tactic.

Manmade global warming, and it wouldn't be going too far to say all global warming, is a cruel

hoax by the bureaucrats looking to fatten up their pockets, and to get special interest money, tax-payer

dollars, and other means of financial backing for whatever ridiculous project they have planned. This

type of manipulation is a ridiculous thing for people of power to be doing, especially since some people

take their governor's, senators', and their representatives' words as an extreme authority, and may not

think to double check what is being spewed about. The entire issue of global warming should be

debunked starting from the first lie back in the 70's to whatever was said last week. This type of corrupt

manipulation, blatant lying, forced legislation upon citizens, brainwashing by educators, and wrong

ideology by citizens that have been “envirobamboozled” (Williams 75) must be stopped before it

spreads like a virus, like George Monbiot, who “would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to

lower human population levels” (Beck 19).
