Bret Stephens answers this question in the Wall Street Journal:
Socialism may have failed as an economic theory, but global warming alarmism, with its dire warnings about the consequences of industry and consumerism, is equally a rebuke to capitalism. Take just about any other discredited leftist nostrum of yore – population control, higher taxes, a vast [...]
…is the elitists in the global warming scaremongering movement that tell us that we have to make sacrifices or the world is going to end. Rich people like Al Gore and Sting who say that there is a crisis going on and that we have to change the way we live or the earth itself [...]
If there are no Martians or Jupiterians, then the global warming occuring on those planets must be our fault, right? Well, at least we know President Bush has something to do with it.
I was watching a show called “Alien Planet” on the Discovery channel today, and some scientist (I presume an atheist) said, “We have to realize that life is the result of a series of random accidents. Life is precious, so we must do whatever we can to protect it.” He then went into a shpiel [...]
The following is an excerpt from an article published on the New Statesman website pointing out that global temperatures have been statistically the same for every year after 2001. They’ve levelled off! The entire article is here.
Global warming stopped? Surely not. What heresy is this? Haven’t we been told that the science of global warming [...]
This is awesome:
Fred leads the way and won’t let the obviously biased moderator get away with it.
Update - Here’s what Fred’s campaign has to say:
Running for President is serious business. We’re facing pressing issues like national security, bankrupt entitlements, a broken tax code, and out-of-control judges. So what did the liberal moderator want at Wednesday’s [...]
It turns out that “The United Nations’ top AIDS scientists plan to acknowledge this week that they have long overestimated [read "lied about"] both the size and the course of the [AIDS] epidemic, which they now believe has been slowing for nearly a decade…” They also said they cannot rule out futher downward revisions. Leave [...]
I’m not a big fan of Pat Buchanan. Sometimes his opinions are way out there. He’s got his thinking cap on, though, in his latest column about global warming. I especially liked the following statement:
Like the panics of bygone eras, this one has the aspect of yet another re-enactment of the Big Con. The huckster [...]
The global warming alarmists claim that no real scientists doubt global warming. They’re disingenuous when they say this, because what people do doubt is the idea that global warming is man-made and the idea that it is irrefutably a bad thing. In fact, more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting the current man-made global [...]
The “father of scientific climatology” says that talk about man-made global warming is a bunch of hooey. When are people going to wake up and realize that we’re all being had by people trying to make money?
Reid Bryson, known as the father of scientific climatology, considers global warming a bunch of hooey.
The UW-Madison professor [...]
