The "settled science" of Global Warming has become unsettled.

Think a bit about what this means. Everyone knows the UN is a political
not a scientific organization. The compiled UN report of several thousand
pages has been subjected to most intense scrutiny that could be bought by
OPEC and the coal, oil, gas industries, yet they have found less than a
handful of errors or exaggerations. *They have found nothing wrong with
the hundreds of other remaining conclusions. *The few errors have to do
with specific effects of climate change in certain areas. *None have to do
with the fundamental conclusion that CO2 from fossil fuel is significantly
warming the Earth.

Of course their have been many thousands of invalid, easily-rebutted
criticisms spread by all sorts of bloggers and paid lobbyists. *The lack
of weight in these argurments becomes apparent by contrast when you see
the effect in the media of a single valid criticism. *As I have mentioned
before, we are seeing the results of an organized F.U.D. marketing
campaign. F.U.D. (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) is a well-worn negative
marketing technique used when your product is inferior in nearly every way
to your competitors. The idea is to spread so much negative innuendo,
rumors, half truths and lies about the competing product along with the
few true weaknesses *that your competitor has to spend all his energy and
time defending himself, but still it is impossible to remove doubt in the
mind of the customer after such an onslaught. *Of course the truth becomes
plainly obvious eventually, but this strategy allows the perpetrators to
extract the maximum profit from their current product. *Most scientists
(even the technocrats at the UN) are not professional lobbyists and do not
know how to respond to such an organized attack.

The Wall Street Journal used to be a responsible voice of conservatism
until it was bought by Rupert Murdoch (with a Saudi prince as second
largest share holder).

But, there is not one shred of proof that CO2 from fossil fuel is
significantly warming the Earth, just theory and conjecture by those that
will profit immensely from it. *Yet you condemn the energy producers and
don't hold the alarmists to the same standards. *And, there's been no
warming in 15 years, according to your scientists. *So, everything that you
say is so obviously biased and jaded that you can't be taken seriously.- Hide quoted text -

Sure there is...didn't you get the memo?

Oh that's right...it only went to the smart ones.
