Hero/Hack: Global Warming Hysteria Edition
My hero this week is Indiana Senator James Inhofe.
He has repeatedly stood for truth on the issue of Global Warming, the truth being that we don't know all the facts. An excerpt on his speech about the media's reaction to one he gave on Monday:
My hack this week is once again Al Gore. The man is incessant.
Now cigarettes are causing global warming. That is probably one of the more ludicrous things I have ever heard.
And may I remind you, as already established in Senator Inhofe's speech, Antartica is getting colder, and the ice is growing.
UPDATE: Jeff the Baptist has some pretty cool analysis of computer modeling in a post about Senator Inhofe's speech.
He has repeatedly stood for truth on the issue of Global Warming, the truth being that we don't know all the facts. An excerpt on his speech about the media's reaction to one he gave on Monday:
Over the last century, the media has flip-flopped between global cooling and warming scares. At the turn of the 20th century, the media peddled an upcoming ice age -- and they said the world was coming to an end. Then in the 1930s, the alarm was raised about disaster from global warming -- and they said the world was coming to an end. Then in the 70’s, an alarm for another ice age was raised -- and they said the world was coming to an end. And now, today we are back to fears of catastrophic global warming -- and again they are saying the world is coming to an end.Read the whole thing. He's really on the ball on this issue.
My hack this week is once again Al Gore. The man is incessant.
Now cigarettes are causing global warming. That is probably one of the more ludicrous things I have ever heard.
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore warned hundreds of U.N. diplomats and staff on Thursday evening about the perils of climate change, claiming: Cigarette smoking is a "significant contributor to global warming!"
Gore, who was introduced by Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the world faces a "full-scale climate emergency that threatens the future of civilization on earth."
Gore showed computer-generated projections of ocean water rushing in to submerge the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, parts of China, India and other nations, should ice shelves in Antarctica or Greenland melt and slip into the sea.
And may I remind you, as already established in Senator Inhofe's speech, Antartica is getting colder, and the ice is growing.
