Last night on the Glenn Beck Show, Glenn had on Lord Moncton and John Bolton to talk about the climate change treaty that Barack Obama might sign in December. That climate change bill sets up a government that has the power to tax every financial transaction at a rate of 2%. It can force countries that have a carbon debt to pay that debt in the form of money to countries that have a positive carbon footprint. According to Lord Moncton, the government set up is the beginnings of a world government. Each country that signs the treaty would have to give up some of its sovereignty so the government could operate without regard to local laws. The possibilities are truly scary.
But, then Lord Moncton said that he could prove that Global Warming was not happening because of carbon dioxide. That immediately got my attention as I am interested in that topic. In the discussion that followed, Lord Moncton showed a chart with 11 graphs from leading scientists around the world (primarily in the US) that believe in global warming. The graphs are depicting what the scientists say is happening to the upper atmosphere. In the upper atmosphere, if global warming is occurring the temperature would have to go down. Each graph by the leading scientists did show that the temperature of the upper atmosphere was going down. But, Lord Moncton said that those graphs were computer projections of what the scientists were expecting to happen, not actual data. Lord Moncton was dismissive of the efforts of the scientists and said they were using Xboxes.
Then, came the moment I have been waiting for since the idea of global warming became a political football. Lord Moncton unveiled a graph that used actual upper atmosphere data over the last 20 years. The data was collected by Richard Lindzen, head of the Climatology Department at MIT, among other scientists. This graph showed that the upper atmosphere was releasing temperature, just like it has always done. The greenhouse gases had no effect on the upper atmosphere. The upper atmosphere was not trapping the heat in. In other words, carbon dioxide and the other greenhouse gases do not cause global warming. If the earth is warming, it is not because of greenhouse gases.
Since we are facing draconian taxes because of global warming in the “Cap and Tax” bill, this information should make those that support the bill look like fools. They would be supporting a tax to stop something that is not happening. Of course everyone knew that all along, but now we have scientific evidence from a leading scientist at a leading university. All the global warming crowd has are computer models that are subject to the bias of the person or people entering the information. Actual data trumps projections any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
This information should mean that any scientist that expects to be taken seriously will have to become a skeptic of global warming. Those scientists that cling to global warming will be doing so out of political loyalty, not scientific evidence. There is no evidence to support global warming and there never has been any evidence. All they have ever had are those computer models. Those computer models have been shown to be wildly inaccurate by this evidence. That would mean that they would have to incorporate this new data into their computer models. If they incorporate this new data into the computer models, it will show that the world is not warming up.
It will take a while for this evidence to make the rounds of scientific communities. As it does so, the call for controls to stop global warming will necessarily cease. That will make some politicians look real bad because they have staked their lives on global warming being true. It will just point out the politicians that are out for personal reasons. Al Gore will be the chief loser in this whole episode. He has staked his entire post-VP career on global warming being true. He even starred in his own movie and won a Nobel Prize for his efforts. Now, everyone will see the truth and maybe someone will have pity on the poor man. He still has his car companies that are raking in the dough, but that is another column.
