Subject: RE: BS: Where's the Global Warming
What the Global Warming barkers have on their side are the news outlets. They do not have have the facts on their side.


"The prestigious International Geological Congress, dubbed the geologists' equivalent of the Olympic Games, was held in Norway in August 2008 and prominently featured the voices of scientists skeptical of man-made global warming fears.

Reports from the conference found that Skeptical scientists overwhelmed the meeting, with '2/3 of presenters and question-askers hostile to, even dismissive of, the UN IPCC'. In addition, a 2008 canvass of more than 51,000 Canadian scientists revealed 68% disagree that global warming science is 'settled'.

A November 25, 2008, article in Politico noted that a 'growing accumulation' of science is challenging warming fears, and added that the "science behind global warming may still be too shaky to warrant cap-and-trade legislation. 'More evidence that the global warming fear machine is breaking down. Russian scientists 'rejected the very idea that carbon dioxide may be responsible for global warming' An American Physical Society editor conceded that a "considerable presence" of scientific skeptics exists.

An International team of scientists countered the UN IPCC, declaring: 'Nature, Not Human Activity, Rules the Climate'. India Issued a report challenging global warming fears. International Scientists demanded the UN IPCC "be called to account and cease its deceptive practices.' "
