If anyone has been following all the talk about global warming in the last few years, it should be evident that the science of global warming is truly junk science. There are no scientific facts pointing to a global warming as the environmental scientists and greens have lead many to believe. Instead they point to unscientifically derived data to support their false theories.
Scientist have been recording the rise in global temperatures, but the data they are using is collected in urban areas. In the article, Debunking Modern Climate Myths, the fallacy of collecting temperature data in urban areas only enhances the urban heat island phenomenon. If satellite data is used and all the surface of the globe is considered there would be no evidence of increased temperatures found. But they might find small drops in the temperature.
Last year the junk scientists have mislead the public that another sign global warming was the record high number of violent hurricanes. Every major liberal news media picked up this false information, and many were lead to believe that the 2005 hurricane season was indeed foretelling global warming.
Again in the 2002 article, Debunking Modern Climate Myths:
Whether it be extremes of heat and cold, droughts, floods, hail, tornadoes or hurricanes, there is absolutely no evidence that these phenomena have increased globally over the twentieth century. In fact, there is much empirical evidence to suggest that more warmth leads to a more stable climate.
But occasionally the liberal media will report the truth, even if it is buried within the a news story reporting. The Hartford Courant, published the article, Hot Debate Over Hurricanes, which presents some truth on the fallacy of global warming but in reality only confuses the issue.
At the close of the catastrophic 2005 season, NOAA's official position was summed up in the headline on a Nov. 29 article posted on the agency's website. "NOAA attributes recent increase in hurricane activity to naturally occurring multi-decadal variability," it read.
The long article identified three prime reasons for the cycle's current activity. First, waters were warmer than average in the tropical Atlantic. Also the West African monsoon (the seasonal pattern of wind and rainfall) was stronger than usual while the Amazon Basin monsoon was weaker. The article stated flatly that the decadal cycle, also called a signal, "is not related to global warming."
[..] At a press conference Aug. 8 updating forecasts for the current hurricane season NOAA's response to questions about global warming was far less definite than it had been. Gerry Bell, NOAA's lead forecaster, said global warming could be adding to the multidecadal signal.
"There's still a lot we don't understand," he said. "Is global warming contributing this much? Is the [Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation] contributing this much? We can't say."
In a subsequent interview, Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center said, "there is a rich and robust debate going on in the country about what's going on with hurricanes."
With all this said, the reason the global warming scare is perpetrated is to scare the mis-informed to accept rules and regulations that would reduce the quality of life and freedom that western civilization enjoys today.
The UN treaty, Kyoto Protocol is an international wealth transfer scheme masquerading as an environmental agreement. Fortunately, the Bush administration has declared that it will not agree to any pact that exempts countries such as China and India, while requiring punishing sacrifices from the U.S. is an international wealth transfer scheme masquerading as an environmental agreement.
