Global Warming: Mainstream Media & Leftist Minions Ignore The Science

Two things every voter should be aware of regarding the latest U.N. report on global warming:

1. What the science in the report actually says

2. What the policy makers who wrote the report, claim, the science, says

The science should have caused all global warming zealots to back off big time. This report throws serious doubt on some vital information in previous reports written by the same IPCC in 1990, 1995 and 2001.

The study was done by scientists and the report was written by policy makers, many of whom, possibly all of whom, have an agenda. In fact many of these policy wonks, work for governments who preach climate fear, to advance the Global Warming agenda.

In the Mainstream Media, those who tilt left loved the findings of the report which advanced the doom and gloom aspects found therein. The MM fell almost totally silent on the science.

Voters should also know, that contributions from respected scientists are often rejected, by this U. N. group, as they were in this report, for not advancing the global warming cause.

The New Report

The new report shows that when the U.N. did its 2001 assessment of the human influence on climate change since the Industrial Revolution, it had overestimated that influence by at least one-third.

Reporting on sea level, the 2001 report stated a rise in sea level of 3 feet. In this latest report, that amount is less than half of 3 feet-17 inches.

Not only did sea levels not rise as high as formerly predicted; the pace at which they rose was much slower than predicted.

The three previous IPCC reports also did not report that oceans would cool, which they have done significantly since 2003. This also throws serious doubt on recent claims about the frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

The full scientific report has not yet been released. However, just from the limited information known so far, there is much that should make the Greens examine the science more carefully and take the time necessary for honest dialogue on the matter.

Less Certainty Since Last Report

Serious claims made with such certainty in previous reports, now show reduced numbers. Also the rise in temperatures since the last report has been miniscule.

It should always be kept in mine, that much of what has been predicted over the years has been based on computer simulations. In many cases these models are inaccurate. The tiny rise in temperatures and the unexpected ocean cooling are just two, of many examples.

Is Anyone Abiding By The Kyoto Agreement?

The United Nations monitors 41 countries in the area which includes greenhouse gas emissions. Of those 41, 34 had increased greenhouse emissions from 2000 to 2004, even though all 41 had committed to the terms of Kyoto.

A report from the European Environment Agency showed that thirteen of the original 15 European Signatories will miss their 2010 targets, the way they're heading now. Many of the countries making the most noise have poor records. The U.S. has had a better record than most, in recent years. Despite all this posturing by prosperous EU nations, the problem increasingly lies elsewhere.

The fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions are the poorer countries, and China. China's emissions are rapidly closing in on those of the U.S. In fact the International Energy Agency projects that China alone could account for 55 percent of those emissions by 2050. As to the poorer countries, do we want to limit or halt the economic gains they are making to cut these emissions?

Presently the doom and gloom crowd is being very loose with what the science says while at the same time offering solutions that would have a terrible effect on most economies.

Lately, more scientists with serious credentials, seem to be stepping up at a faster pace, to refute much of the hype while insisting that we need to know much more before we can look for solutions.

It is totally possible that there are no man made solutions.

Let's hold our judgment until May when the full U.N. report comes out. When it does we would be wise to focus on the science to the best of our ability.
