"An Inconvenient Truth" Just Keeps Becoming More And More Inconvenient,...For Al Gore

The A-list of manmade climate-change skeptics is meeting in New York City for the 2009 International Conference on Climate Change.

The Conference is definitely international in scope. Opening the conference is Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic and the European Union. When it comes to manmade global warming, Klaus calls that a myth. He is also an outspoken critic of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and says the panel is one-sided and has a political agenda.

Featured at the conference will be more than 70 scientists who do not subscribe to the notion that so-called global warming is driven by manmade emissions of carbon dioxide, one of those being Harrison "Jack" Schmitt -- one of the last astronauts to walk on the moon.
 


The Conference is being hosted by The Heartland Institute. Dan Miller is the director of public relations at Heartland.
 
"What we are trying to accomplish with this conference is to present to the politicians and to the public that the debate is not over about global warming or climate change; that there is plenty of room for disagreement; and that sound science shows that the earth is not warming," says Miller.
 


"For much of the latter part of the 20th century there's been a mild warming as we come out of an ice age -- but the planet today is much cooler than it was a thousand years ago."
 


Besides the 70+ scientists at this conference, more than 650 scientists worldwide have expressed skepticism over manmade climate change.

-- Pete Chagnon, reporting on an important story that probably won't get a lot of press because, you know, Big Gay Al said "the debate is over" - except for "more than 650 scientists worldwide" - and One News Now.

A "Plot" Is Another Word For "The Grave"

"As the Czech President, Vaclav Klaus, an economist, anti-totalitarian and climate change sceptic, prepares to take up the rotating presidency of the European Union next year, climate alarmists are doing their best to traduce him.

The New York Times opened a profile of Klaus, 67, this week with a quote from a 1980s communist secret agent's report, claiming he behaves like a 'rejected genius', and asserts there is 'palpable fear' he will 'embarrass' the EU.

But the real fear driving climate alarmists wild is that a more rational approach to the fundamentalist religion of global warming may be in the ascendancy...

One of Australia's leading enviro-sceptics, the geologist and University of Adelaide professor Ian Plimer, 62, says he has noticed audiences becoming more receptive to his message that climate change has always occurred and there is nothing we can do to stop it.

'Climates have always changed and they always will',...'There is no relationship between CO2 and temperature.'

...Creationists and climate alarmists are quite similar in that 'we're dealing with dogma and people who, when challenged, become quite vicious and irrational'.

Human-caused climate change is being 'promoted with religious zeal … there are fundamentalist organisations which will do anything to silence critics. They have their holy books, their prophet [is] Al Gore. And they are promoting a story which is frightening us witless [using] guilt [and urging] penance.'

It is difficult for non-scientists to engage in the debate over what causes climate change and whether or not it can be stopped by new taxes and slower growth, because dissenting voices are shouted down by true believers in the scientific community who claim they alone have the authority to speak.'

-- Miranda Devine, showing A) the NYT is America's enemy that will do anything (including quoting the KGB) to advance the NewAge agenda, and B) the EU knows it faces embarrassment (or, hopefully, more) if this silly plot is exposed, and C) even scientists have formed a cult that promotes this outlandish idea, though they can't fool The Sydney Morning Herald.

Humping Home: From Hay To Hamburg

Did you hear? Jon Blyth is starting a reverse-Louise Hay Fan Club:

"Hi. I don't know if you've heard of me, but I'm the best. I can do anything I want to, and I attract only love. This is because I am a creature of love. Not only that, but the more love I give away, the more I have. Basically, I could fill a barn with vibrations of love.

If I ever heard these words tumble from a mouth, I would pop off and make a cup of tea, just so I could come back and drop it in horror. People know it doesn't make sense, that's why meaningless, self-congratulatory rubbish like this is usually hidden away. People who hurl upbeat but confusing imagery at themselves usually keep it restricted to a bedroom mirror.

The quotes from the first paragraph were based on genuine affirmations by Louise L Hay, author of books detailing the powers of self-actualisation and, if her Amazon reviews are anything to go by, commander of a devoted legion of empowered fragile souls. I dislike Hay,..."

Oh goodie: where do I sign up? (And doesn't Louise Hay have a creepy I-eat-children smile?)

Did you know there's a connection between the twisted views of Louise Hay, Sharon Stone, Al Gore, and that crazy preacher, Joseph Hagee? Check it out:

"I heard Gore on NPR the other day. He was asked what he made of evangelical pastor Joseph Hagee's absurd comment that Hurricane Katrina was God's wrath for New Orleans' sexual depravity. Naturally, Gore chuckled at such backwardness. But then the Nobel laureate went on to blame Katrina on man's energy sinfulness."

Paging Constance Cumbey. Paging Constance Cumbey,...Will Constance Cumbey report to the White Courtesy Telephone, please:

Miss Cumbey? God told me to tell you to set up a debate, between Al Gore and the President of Czechoslovakia, Vaclav Klaus. (Above) God says it's something about the Green Agenda. God also says he'd do it himself but he's too busy making me blog.

The White House is going after the New York Times because - honestly - it's becoming painfully clear I don't have that kind of pull. If I did, they wouldn't write articles for the fashion section that start like this:

"JILL BOLTE TAYLOR was a neuroscientist working at Harvard’s brain research center when she experienced nirvana.

But she did it by having a stroke."

Then, all of a sudden:

“That’s it,” the therapist said. “That’s it, and that’s big.”

Her therapist? That Queer Eye For A Stroke Guy. (Yea, I know: booo! Back off, I'm trying something new here:)

Next up: A lady moved to France. Her husband had an affair. She didn't like it. Told you: those people are crazy.

And finally:

Is Homeopathy "New Science" or "New Age"?

I hear it's just water, but nobody's sure, because leading British pharmacists sell it. We are sure Yoga and horoscopes can lead to possession by the Devil, but you'll have to ask the Germans:

They've known more about the NewAge than almost anybody.
