More Kyoto Nonsense

Fiction fuels global warming

Myth of Jurassic proportions has world mired in false State of Fear

By Licia Corbella -- Calgary Sun


Since facts and science can't seem to debunk the faulty notion of global warming being caused by humans, perhaps fiction can.

Virtually every month, new reports by the world's top climate scientists debunk the correlation between increasing CO2 emissions and the warming of the Earth.

Just this past week, as the federal Liberal government announced its plan (if you can call it that) to meet its impossible Kyoto targets, a weighty group of North America's top climatologists, paleoclimatologists, astrophysicists and oceanographers launched a video that points out the scientific flaws behind the premise that so-called greenhouse gases (GHGs) are behind global warming.


Indeed, they even question whether the earth is warming at all and point out that, even 25 years ago, scientists were predicting global cooling!

The video, put out by the University of Calgary in co-operation with The Friends of Science Society, quotes: Dr. Tim Patterson, Professor of Paleoclimatology at Carleton University; Dr. Ian Clark, Professor of Hydrogeology and Paleoclimatology at the University of Ottawa; Dr. Vincent Gray, climate scientist and official IPCC reviewer from New Zealand; Dr. Sallie Baliunus, astrophysicist and climate researcher in Boston; Dr. Tad Murty, a former senior research scientist for Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans, past director of the National Tidal Facility of Australia and a current researcher at Carleton University; and Dr. Timothy Ball, Canada's first climatology PhD and a recently retired professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg, amongst others.

But the release Wednesday of their highly informative and science-based video received not a peep by the media sheep who continue to parrot ignorant politicians and environmentalists who are preparing to waste billions of dollars on something that is not a risk while real environmental problems get swept aside and human catastrophes, like the AIDS epidemic in Africa, remain ignored and underfunded.

Only in Canada, you say? Pity. A pity that the Canadian public are so ill-informed on such a major issue by our lazy, liberal media. Kyoto also neatly fits into the generally liberal Canadian tendency to want to feel good about something and perhaps cut a cheque. Global warming is one of the least understood issues in the modern world but the media have decided which side they are on and further research is unworthy of reporting.
