Gore: Lies and Big Money

From "An Inconvenient Truth" we have more lies. ABC's 20/20 just ran a spot on how Al Gore's alarming documentary deceived viewers by using computer generated video footage from the movie The Day After Tomorrow to depict calving of the Antarctic ice shelves. Karen Goulekas, Special Effects surpervisor from The Day After Tomorrow confirms, "That's a fully computer generated shot. There's nothing real in there."

This comes on the heels of Gore admitting what had long been suspected and many sources attempted to prove -- he has a number of financial interests in advancing global warming. This came within weeks after Richard Campbell, a spokesman for Gore's Generation Investment Management fund, continued to claim that Gore did not have a financial interest, and someone who thinks you can benefit financially from carbon offsets lacks knowledge in the industry.

Excuse me, Mr. Campbell? Carbon finance is a multi-billion dollar international industry! This Fortune Magazine article does a nice job of dissecting the industry and how it works. Companies like EcoSecurities buy carbon credits from those that prevent carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere for about $4 and sell them to international banks for about $18. The banks are risking that these credits will gain value or sell them to a European power company that needs the credits to meets its regulatory obligations (so if you don't siphon off enough CO2 as a power plant, you can just buy your way into meeting standards). How about the Chinese HFC23 (a refrigerant gas that effectively traps heat) factories that are allowed to claim 11,700 carbon credits for creating a gas that they've been selling for years? They've sunk $150 million into creating the product but have made $6 billion from credits, prompting some to point out that, "Chinese refrigerant companies have become carbon-credit factories that only incidentally sell refrigerants."

Read on... it's unbelievable how much money is being made, not from a product, but from the prevention of making a product that plant life around the world naturally absorbs and turns into oxygen:

This Should All Sound Familiar

Global warming is the end of the world! The human race will become extinct!

Sound a bit extreme? Sound a bit familiar? It should, and not just because that's the rhetoric of our current day. Alarmists have been trying to scare us for 40 years about over-population, famine, and global cooling. None of them have come to pass. Check out this revealing recap:

Ottawa Snow: 14 Feet and Counting!

Ottawa is on the verge of breaking a snowfall record set back in the 1970-71 winter season as it has thus far accumulated 14 feet of snow! There have been four deaths due to roof cave-ins, reports of "snow rage" as neighbors battle for yard space to toss the snow, and one man has even created an 18 foot decorative wall next to his driveway. Go ahead and try to sell these people on "global warming."

Baghdad's First Snow!

I can't believe I missed this one, but my son was writing a paper tonight on the fallacies of the "hockey stick" graph and dug up an article from this past January on Baghdad's first snow fall ever recorded. Other sources say it has probably been about 100 years since Baghdad has seen snow, but no one is really certain. Considering how rare snow is in this part of the world, you would think someone somewhere along the 4,000 years civilization has been present in that part of the world would have made a note of it when it actually happened. In any case, I guess "global warming" doesn't apply to Iraq.

Roy Spencer: Climate Confusion

Check out the new book from Roy Spencer about the global warming political machine.

NOAA's Results: Coolest Winter Since 2001

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this past winter was the coolest since 2001. While that may have only been seven winters ago, according to the global warming alarmists we are supposed to be far above that level by now. In fact, since recording of national temperatures began in 1895, this was the 54th coolest winter, placing this past winter in the cooler half of cold winters, and some places like Concord, NH, received more than 100 inches of snow, blowing away records that had existed for more than 100 years.

So what happened to the drastically rising temperatures we were supposed to be seeing? That infamous "hockey stick" graph that was developed 20 years ago has come under fire for its inaccuracies and predictions of widespread tropical disease, severe drought, rapid melting of the world's glaciers and ice caps, and rising sea levels that simply haven't happened.

Weather Channel Founder: Sue Al Gore!

John Coleman, founder of the Weather Channel, already stated that global warming is the biggest scam in history. Now he is suggesting Al Gore and everyone involved in selling carbon credits ought to be sued for the millions of dollars they have cost alarmed citizens. In a Fox & Friends interview, Coleman reiterated that the degree the world "warmed" up over the last century was obliterated this winter, record temperatures dropping us back down that degree.
