Climategate - the global warming truth comes out

[gordo]

Causing quite a stir in the news - newly published email conversations show how the (human caused) global warming proponents have variously manipulated or suppressed evidence in order to support their cause.

Senator Inhofe: "Today, I will discuss something else – scientific integrity and how to improve it. Specifically, I will discuss the systematic and documented abuse of the scientific process by an international body that claims it provides the most complete and objective scientific assessment in the world on the subject of climate change – the United Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC."

And so you should be.

Here's a link to an excellent series on the topic that was published in The National Post here in Canada:

Climate change: The Deniers

Lots of food for thought there.

Time magazine's thoughtful article on the coming Ice Age from 1974:

Science: Another Ice Age? - TIME

again from Time in 1994:

The Ice Age Cometh? - TIME

I was looking at a geography text book in a second hand book shop not too long ago, which was published in the mid 70s which talked about how the Soviet Union was considering using nuclear blasts in the Arctic to release water vapor in order to stem the coming ice age. Fortunately they did not actually do that.

It seems that many governments believe that increasing taxes is the solution to all problems.

Correct me if i am wrong, but isn't the print industry relatively carbon neutral?? I mean we use a fair amount of energy and chemicals and the production of print is fairly carbon consumptive, but the growing of trees to feed our industry would surely go a fair way towards offsetting our carbon footprint??

That, I believe, assumes that CO2 emissions are the cause of climate issues...which may not be the reality. So, it may not matter what the industry's carbon footprint is as it may be irrelevant at least as far as global warming (or cooling) is concerned.

Trees

Trees

My understanding is that while North America and Europe are doing a pretty good job of reforestation, there are great swaths of the equatorial rain forests that are being destroyed every day for either agriculture, industry or urban growth. Those trees aren't being replaced.
