The Global Warming Hoax Concerts Are Over!

*

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - In a 24-hour music marathon spanning seven continents, everyone from aboriginal elders to famous scientists to country singers called on the world to turn interest in the Live Earth events into environmental activism.

"Put all of this energy in your heart and help us solve the climate crisis," said former Vice President Al Gore, appearing onstage at the end of the final concert, staged at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.

Gag me with a spoon.

Proponents of Anthropogenic Global Warming have a bit of problem with explaining the interglacial periods. They can't do it and still claim that anthropogenic effects on the climate are in anyway significant when compared to non-anthropogenic influences. (Like the sun.)

I think that the best comment on the present Global Warming hysteria was made recently by Vaclav Klaus.

As someone who lived under communism for most of his life, I feel obliged to say that I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.

Science itself is threatened by the hysteria of Global Warming. Science is supposed to be about verifiable reproducibility, not about orthodoxy or consensus.

In 1996, when you reported that changes in the sun’s activity could explain most or all of the recent rise in Earth’s temperature, the chairman of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel called your announcement “extremely naive and irresponsible.” How did you react?

I was just stunned. I remember being shocked by how many thought what I was doing was terrible. I couldn’t understand it because when you are a physicist, you are trained that when you find something that cannot be explained, something that doesn’t fit, that is what you are excited about. If there is a possibility that you might have an explanation, that is something that everybody thinks is what you should pursue. Here was exactly the opposite reaction. It was as though people were saying to me, “This is something that you should not have done.” That was very strange for me, and it has been more or less like that ever since.

Now that the Gore concerts are over, I expect there to be a lull in the hype over Global Warming. I could be wrong on this, but with these concerts over, the subject will find itself off of the table after the concert stories have burned themselves out in the mass media. Just a lull mind you. Al Gore and others in the Global Warming cult won't stop. The next phase of their battle plan will most likely be legislateive.

Like the following:

EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey (Reuters) - New Jersey became on Friday the first U.S. state to mandate sharp greenhouse gas reductions by 2050 to help fight climate change.

The law, signed by Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, makes New Jersey the latest state to bypass the Bush administration by setting mandatory regulations to fight emissions of gases that scientists link to global warming.

"We want to send a message to Washington. Wake up, get with the program and start doing something about greenhouse gases," Corzine told reporters at Giants Stadium on the eve of former Vice President Al Gore's international Live Earth concerts.
