Global Warming News

Of note:

The study was done by scientists and the report was written by policy makers, many of whom, possibly all of whom, have an agenda. In fact many of these policy wonks, work for governments who preach climate fear, to advance the Global Warming agenda.

The new report shows that when the U.N. did its 2001 assessment of the human influence on climate change since the Industrial Revolution, it had overestimated that influence by at least one-third.

Reporting on sea level, the 2001 report stated a rise in sea level of 3 feet. In this latest report, that amount is less than half of 3 feet-17 inches. Not only did sea levels not rise as high as formerly predicted; the pace at which they rose was much slower than predicted.

Kyoto

The United Nations monitors 41 countries in the area which includes greenhouse gas emissions. Of those 41, 34 had increased greenhouse emissions from 2000 to 2004, even though all 41 had committed to the terms of Kyoto.

China

The fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions are the poorer countries, and China. China's emissions are rapidly closing in on those of the U.S. In fact the International Energy Agency projects that China alone could account for 55 percent of those emissions by 2050. As to the poorer countries, do we want to limit or halt the economic gains they are making to cut these emissions?

Most ordinary citizens -- i.e., the scientifically challenged -- are even more in the dark about what or whom to believe about global warming, thanks in large part to the mainstream media, which, with few exceptions, have become willing press agents for global warming alarmists.

But most people would stop their global worrying if they looked at the big picture and long run. For starters, we are at the tail end of an ice age that began about 40 million years ago. Ice sheets like the one that covered most of the Northern Hemisphere until about 20,000 years ago have come and gone in 40,000- and 100,000-year cycles.

Also, please stop worrying about the planet's 67,000-plus glaciers melting. Glaciers have retreated and advanced for eons. If every glacier not on Greenland or Antarctica disappeared in 1,000 years -- and no one is saying they will -- sea level would rise about 18 inches. By the way, about 90 percent of all of Earth's ice is in Antarctica -- and it's not shrinking.
