Hi Jem, The whole "global warming" thing is a hoax, a lie, as you are well aware: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LkMweOVOOI
Good first post in the discussion. Presenting a fraud..... Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of this presentation is the degree of misinformation and distortion of reality associated with it. Any climate scientist can immediately tell you that the IPCC projected approximately 0.2°C global surface warming over the first decade of the century - certainly nowhere near 1°C. Yet nobody at Easterbrook's presentation spoke up to correct the glaring mistake, which was central to his entire talk. There were few climate scientists present at the Heartland conference, but the fact that nobody caught or corrected Easterbrook's error speaks volumes about the lack of climate expertise and/or lack of interest in getting the facts right amongst the conference attendees. As a result, Heartland members are now touting Easterbrook's misinformation to a more mainstream audience, such as by Peter Ferrara at Forbes magazine. While a partisan policy analyst like Ferrara can perhaps be forgiven for deferring to a scientist like Easterbrook on scientific matters, somebody should have caught the error immediately before Ferrara had a chance to disseminate this misinformation. Additionally, Easterbrook should never have made this error to begin with. The caption of the IPCC figure he used was clear and explicit that it depicted model simulations responding to only the greenhouse gas forcing. Even if the graphic in question depicted responses to the total global radiative forcing, to cherrypick a single model run and ignore the fact that it displays an anomalous spike in 2011 reveals exceptionally poor data analysis on Easterbrook's part. The fact that such a glaring distortion of reality was presented at the Heartland conference (at least twice) without being corrected and was subsequently disseminated to a much larger audience by Heartland members reveals a distinct lack of true skepticism amongst the Heartland Institute and its conference attendees. http://www.skepticalscience.com/don-easterbrook-heartland-distortion-of-reality.html Global warming is certainly not a hoax and anyone saying it is is an idiot. Plain and simple.
As one can clearly see, the - well paid - propaganda "media" will always step up and dis-inform the public (and ET members) with bogus "facts" and "information". Don't believe a single word they are saying, they are professional, satanic liars.
The funniest thing about these global warming alarmists who are destroying the economy is that they are the ones who are slowing down their own agenda, if we were to just leave all the money they are syhphoning out of the economy, we would have a solution much quicker, through natural growth in the technology. There are lots of private sector entreprenuers currently working on it, but instead of encouraging growth, these alarmists want to stop it, and the bottom line is that there isnt going to be a massive change until the technology catches up, and its the same price or cheaper to go green. So by killing the economy, all they are doing is slowing down the progress until we inevitably find a viable alternative. Looking back at the last 50 years of technological growth is there anyone in their right mind who really believes that someone acting in their own self interest wont figure out a better source of energy 20-30 years from now if technology is just allowed to grow unfettered?
The" global warming' bull shit thing exists so that that they can impose a "pollution" tax ($$$) on every citizen on the planet, from New York to Sydney. It's a huge scam. Wake up people.
Like these guys? LOL What's YOUR story? American Physical Society "The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earthâs physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now."
Another well paid dis-informer. How much are the banksters paying you to spread lies all over the Internet, seriously? 10 bucks per hour? 20$ ? $50? And more importantly, how much bullshit can you really feed the public?
American Meteorological Society "It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide."

Pfff.... go back to sleep you adorable comedian, you already earned your disinformation money. And oh yeah, go and reread your "Bible" : "A convenient lie". Er.... I mean : " An Inconvenient Truth", of course.
The Geological Society of America "The Geological Society of America (GSA) concurs with assessments by the National Academies of Science (2005), the National Research Council (2006), and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007) that global climate has warmed and that human activities (mainly greenhouseâgas emissions) account for most of the warming since the middle 1900s."
