The Global Warming crowd will soon enough be totally discredited by the simple facts on the ground (unexplained Global Cooling chief among them). At that point, normal people would hang their heads in shame and try to quietly disappear from their soapboxes and slink back under whatever rocks they crawled out from under.

But these whack jobs are anything but normal. They will almost certainly resurface in another guise at a later date when we have all but forgotten about the Great Global Warming Fraud.

My question is “what will they do next” because I'd like to just skip their next bit of scare-mongering altogether, thank you very much. This latest bit has been pretty sickening, I really must say. Every day being beat over the head with a lie, my kids being coerced into believing a politically expedient lie, while the truth is clearly visible and widely known and even more widely ignored is the most frustrating thing I have ever had to endure, long term.

I just want to get off the tracks before the next big scare/hoax comes along, and I want to get my loved ones off this track as well, thank you very much. I just need a little inside information – what’s the new target?

C’mon, you guys can tell me – you know I won’t tell anyone else.

Manmade global warming is a hoax, and all the lefties are in on it.

In the '70s, scientists and politicians and the Hollywood elites (most notably, Ted Dansen) looked through a tiny window onto the geological history of climate change and saw what appeared to be the next Ice Age looming on the horizon. They promptly proceeded to warn us that we would be totally irresponsible unless we began doing something about it and RIGHT AWAY! Catastrophic global cooling was a reality that could not be ignored. Most notably, no one has asked Ted Dansen to lead the effort on this latest Global Warming craze. That might strain credulity just a bit too much - even Pelosi couldn't keep a straight face then.

More recently, scientists and politicians and the Hollywood elites (most notably, Al Gore) looked through a slightly bigger (but still tiny) window onto the geological history of climate change and concluded just the opposite - that catastrophic global WARMING was upon us and we had better act fast to do something about it.

What both of these incidents demonstrate is that it is never wise or prudent to make prognostications based upon a limited subset of the facts involved in a given situation. What we now know about global climate change is that the Earth's climate cycles continually from warm and hot to cool and cold at least every fifteen hundred years. What we know now is that global warming PRODUCES more CO2 in our atmosphere about 800 years after it begins. We also know that while CO2 levels are still high and/or on the rise, the Earth 'mysteriously' enters its cooling phase.  *GASP!*

So, basically, what we know now is that we still DON'T KNOW why the Earth warms and cools as it does. Some scientists say that there's a strong positive correlation to sunspot activity, but the same 'consensus' that says man-made Global Warming is settled science also tells us that the sun, the source of *all* life-giving light and heat for the entire planet, cannot possibly be overheating the earth from time to time. It's only about half a million times bigger than the earth. Clearly, though, it is not big enough to make any sort of difference at all, is it?

But we can. You and I can manufacture cataclysmic heat waves on this same planet just by driving our gas-guzzling SUVs to Grandma Parker's house more often than we really need to. You're buying this, aren't you? Good. Then I guess I won't have to compare you to Hitler.

Just imagine the gas guzzlers they had back when the America was a solid chunk of ice from sea to shining sea.

If the Sun does not cause the warming that we know occurs, then we do not have the foggiest idea *what* causes global warming, although we can say with certainty that CO2 does NOT (CO2 increases ALWAYS lags warming by approx. 800 years and cooling begins DESPITE THE EVER-CONTINUED RISE IN CO2). Conversely, we cannot say what causes global cooling either, but, again we know that it is NOT CO2.

For the honest scientist in this debate, if he/she does not know, then he/she says "I don't know". For the other scientists, one can only guess at their motivations while we know that they are not motivated by any love of science.

For part 2 of this hoax, I now present exhibit A, another liberal hoax - the hoax of "unbiased mainstream media."

Now enter the MSM. MSMers all march to the same drum, so if one of them reports a lie as fact, they are all likely to report the same lie as fact. Because the MSM is so liberal, any liberal "cause celeb" gains instant traction. Never mind that a few minutes of investigative reporting would turn up the lie in the details. The Global Warming Hoax represents the saddest, sorriest performance of the MSM to date. At no point do they question, only parrot. At no point do they investigate, only forward what they've been sent. At no time do they even ask themselves why it is that the Emperor's new clothes look so terribly flimsy - they simply continue to report how fine and majestic the clothes are.

Because MSMers do not hesitate to grill conservatives for breathing the same air as liberals, we can logically use this as a benchmark. When MSMers DON'T question, then they are not reporting but propagandizing instead.

My only question is this: How much longer must we endure this hoax? How long before we get to the "excuses" phase of this whole debacle (ex. "we HAD to hype global warming so that businesses would feel the pressure to get off their butts and start making life better for us all.")   

"We only did it to help raise awareness about our national security!" is another one I expect to hear (and retch at!) shortly thereafter.

"We needed to conserve more anyway - who cares WHY we do it as long as we do it?" Ah yes, the end justifies the means. Seems to me I just recently explained that fallacy to my 11-year-old. He understood it pretty well. Hmmmm, but the MSM doesn't seem to get it despite their collective wisdom. Golly gee, I wonder why might that be? "Honest mistake" to be sure.

How long do we have to wait before the MSM begins their requisite "soul-searching" and introspection to determine why they were so easily led down this path of public disservice in the first place? How long before they excuse themselves for their good intentions and pat themselves on the back for upholding the public trust by lying to us - you all know this is coming too!

How long, America?

How long before you tune them out and turn them off and, finally, shut them up?
