Global Warming Hysteria

As the global warming hysteria reaches epic proportions, the fearmongers have changed the name to climate change, but it hasn't reduced the hot air coming from those who want to ram laws down out throats while dismissing any counter-evidence to their ridiculous claims.

This whole charade is just another power grab by the left, a means of controlling the discussion and lightening our wallets. Do not buy into the propaganda, especially when it's coming from the United Nations.

Now, more apocalyptic predictions are coming forth and they're getting more insane by the day.

Just some snippets via Drudge today.

Climate change means hunger and thirst for billions: report: It's a UN report. Send directly to the circular file.

10 Years to Save the Planet: That's what the idiot Ted Danson said in 1988. Nineteen years later, we're still here. Unfortunately, so is he. A bunch of actors and musicians pretending to know what they're talking about.

UN Pushes for Special Climate Summit: The UN again. Once more, send to the circular file.

Global warming: rise of 4.5 C if pollution doubles, says draft report: The UN drivel is piling up.

Meanwhile, there is a brief respite of sanity:

Two powerful new books say today?s global warming is due not to human activity but primarily to a long, moderate solar-linked cycle. Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years, by physicist Fred Singer and economist Dennis Avery was released just before Christmas. The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change, by Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark and former BBC science writer Nigel Calder (Icon Books), is due out in March.

Singer and Avery note that most of the earth?s recent warming occurred before 1940, and thus before much human-emitted CO2. Moreover, physical evidence shows 600 moderate warmings in the earth?s last million years. The evidence ranges from ancient Nile flood records, Chinese court documents and Roman wine grapes to modern spectral analysis of polar ice cores, deep seabed sediments, and layered cave stalagmites.

Ten years from now, when presented with evidence that all this nonsense was just that--nonsense--the fearmongers and doomsayers will have already moved on to another cause, completely ignoring all the absurd claims they're making today.

UPDATE: Nostrilitus weighs in. Sheer demagoguery.

WASHINGTON - The Democratic chairman of a House panel examining the government's response to climate change said Tuesday there is evidence that senior Bush administration officials sought repeatedly "to mislead the public by injecting doubt into the science of global warming."

Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Calif., said he and the top Republican on his oversight committee, Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, have sought documents from the administration on climate policy, but repeatedly been rebuffed.

UPDATE II: OK, enough already. Global Warming comes to the Super Bowl.
