One of conservative’s often used reasons for slamming global warming is debunked with intelligence and fact. .
.
Whatever Will and Inhofe are, they’re not stupid men…and yet they propagate a story which they must know is a lie or at the very least, terribly misleading. What does that say about their capacity for intellectual honesty? Not much.
I was going to post the second part of the Climate Change video series by potholer54 (see Climate Change – The Scientific Debate for part 1 in the series) but then I came across Sarah Palin’s op-ed piece in the WaPo calling for President Obama to boycott the climate change conference in Copenhagen. Her reason? ClimateGate.
With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue.
“Climate-gate,” as the e-mails and other documents from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia have become known, exposes a highly politicized scientific circle — the same circle whose work underlies efforts at the Copenhagen climate change conference. The agenda-driven policies being pushed in Copenhagen won’t change the weather, but they would change our economy for the worse.
The e-mails reveal that leading climate “experts” deliberately destroyed records, manipulated data to “hide the decline” in global temperatures, and tried to silence their critics by preventing them from publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
Palin is wrong on every count here. She has no idea what she is talking about and has simply found a convenient way to make herself a part of a front-page story. The dimwit knows as much about climate change as she does about foreign policy, domestic policy or just about any other policy – little or nothing.
Palin and others on the right believe they have found vindication in declaring that global warming is either a hoax or that man has no role in the changing temperatures by distorting the meaning of the stolen emails. In video 6 of his series, potholer54 deals with ClimateGate. If anyone can watch this and honestly still believe that Palin or Limbaugh or Inhofe have a case, then they simply are not interested in truth. Little surprise there. .

Two of the scientists involved in “Climategate” – the e-mail hacking incident at the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, UK – have been emailed death threats since the contents of their private e-mails were leaked to the world. No further information can be revealed about these particular threats at present because they are currently under investigation with the FBI in the United States.
Many other CRU scientists and their colleagues have received torrents of abusive and threatening e-mails since the leaks first began in mid-November 2009. Tom Wigley, previous Director of CRU and now at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, US, has been horrified by the e-mails he and other colleagues have received. “They are truly stomach-turning and show what sort of venomous monsters we are up against,” he told environmentalresearchweb.

I’ve been debating global warming for years and the one thing I’ve discovered is how little so many actually know about a phenomena which has been at the top of the news for the last 20 years. We tend to get our information in bits and pieces from whatever sources we use to get informed. For the most part, many don’t really care to know the actual facts and prefer to piggyback onto the views of their favorite teevee personality.
And with that intro, I introduce potholer54, a science writer who has produced a number of intelligent and informative videos on climate change. Over the next few days, I’ll showcase his climate change video series which, if nothing else, should give you a sound understanding of the facts and a deeper appreciation of what is at stake. It avoids propaganda and politics and gets to the core of the debate. Enjoy. .

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown talks tough on global warming.
“With only days to go before Copenhagen we mustn’t be distracted by the behind-the-times, anti-science, flat-earth climate sceptics. We know the science. We know what we must do.”
It does not surprise me that corporations like Exxon are spending hundreds of millions to muddy up the waters and to create an impression of a debate on climate change. The greedy bastards, like the politicians who voice their lies, are in it for the money. I get that. The part that I don’t get is the degree of gullibility and ignorance from a segment of the population that chooses to believe CEOs and politicians over the entire world’s scientific community.
Seriously, how unbelievably stupid can people be?
