Global Warming Catastrophe Debunked By Scientists On Fox Special
By Rev. Louis P. Sheldon
Chairman, Traditional Values Coalition

May 23, 2006 - Fox News reporter David Asman hosted an important investigative report on Sunday evening entitled, “Global Warming: The Debate Continues.” This latest report was a counterpoint to a Fox feature that aired last November on the same topic. Asman’s report featured numerous scientists and Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) who chairs the U.S. Senate Committee On Environment and Public Works.

All of those interviewed for this show were skeptical of the claims made by former Vice President Al Gore and radical environmental activists on the causes, extent and potential damage that global warming might cause to the future of our planet.

Much of the hysteria generated by Gore and his cronies in Hollywood about global warming causing melting icecaps or the flooding of coastal cities, is unsupported by scientific data, according to meteorologists and climatologists who were interviewed for Asman’s special. In fact, many of the same environmentalists in the 1970s who were screaming about pollution bringing about a new ice age, are now claiming just the opposite with their dire warnings about global warming. They were wrong then; they are wrong now.

Those scientific experts who were interviewed by Asman pointed out that the computer models used by Al Gore and other environmental activists to predict future world flooding, etc., are notoriously unreliable. These models fail to take into account the extraordinarily complex nature of the environment. Two of the scientists interviewed by Asman said that activity on the sun may be a major factor that is overlooked by the Chicken Little environmentalists.

Radicals like Al Gore typically look at the worst-case scenarios—and those are based on flawed computer models—that fail to take into account future scientific breakthroughs. Gore and his cronies also ignore the current efforts being made by the Bush Administration to encourage such technology as energy plants that convert coal into gas—or technology that converts grains into low emission fuels.

Senator James Inhofe has called the claim that global warming is a man-made problem, as “the world’s greatest hoax.” I am convinced he is correct—and many reputable scientists agree with him.

Former surgeon and best-selling author Michael Crichton wrote “State of Fear” in 2004 to expose the radical environmental movement and its wildly inaccurate claims about future ecological disasters being caused by global warming. Crichton researched the environmental issue for three years before he began writing this book—and wrote a devastating critique of environmentalism in his author’s message in “State of Fear.” Crichton observed: “Nobody knows how much warming will occur in the next century. The computer models vary by 400%, de facto proof that nobody knows. … We can’t ‘assess’ the future, nor can we ‘predict’ it. These are euphemisms. We can only guess. An informed guess is just a guess.”

So, the next time Al Gore gives a speech about man-made global warming, melting ice caps, and flooded coastal cities, keep in mind that he’s just guessing—and basing his wild opinions on the worst case scenarios developed by unreliable computer models. (And, remember that this is Hollywood’s pick for the presidential run in 2008.)

Al Gore has a history of making statements that are unsupported by the facts. Entire web sites have been developed to chronicle Gore’s misstatements, including one published by National Review magazine several years ago. This is hardly a man who could be trusted with our national defense or environment if he became president.

Answer 2

I don't think the world will flood waterworld style (That movie was a pos btw), but global warming does exist, and its hard to not believe it.

It may not be a ultra serious problem at the moment, but it will be in a decade or so. Bad stuff is already starting to happen (polar bears dont have ice to live on anymore, they have to swim a lot :'( ), and it will only get worse.

Answer 3

i'm nonetheless somewhat sceptical, regardless of the very shown reality that i extremely care about our wild places. I do in spite of the undeniable fact that imagine that we could continuously take the danger heavily. The info proves that organic cycles of climate take position on a grand scale. there have been once lions, hippos and elephants wandering the united kingdom nation-state, about one hundred twenty,000 years in the past. That become an interglacial warmth spell. the ingredient that couldn't disputed, is this stuff take position certainly, after all the Scottish nation-state is done of glacial good factors. in spite of the undeniable fact that, the info means that our extra contribution to international warming is making it take position at a speedier price than life can cope with. we are speaking about climate change happening in a lengthy time period, particularly than spanning centuries or thousands of years. flora and fauna has coped with climate change extremely nicely contained in the previous. woodlands and grasslands can flow at their snails %., to keep song of the circumstances that experience them. lately there are extra topics. we've our flora and fauna trapped in wallet that are surrounded by way of farmland. The organic "corridors" are lengthy gone. flora and fauna charities are doing their suitable to make our wild places more effective joined up. If climate change keeps because it really is and there's no area for issues to flow, then we can lose plenty. besides, i imagine my significant concern is that i do not pick it to be real.

Answer 4

Look at some facts! Measure some temperatures yourself, or read a newspaper for the historical temperatures where you live!

Global warming is happening, the only debate is over whether or not we are causing it!

Answer 5

Global warming is BULL ****! I live in Wisconsin-last year we broke cold records-this year we are breaking warm records. Everything has to change. The oceans water level has flucuated forever and even then by only a minimal amount. The midwest is being bombed by blizzards. MEXICO got snow-so how can people say that we are all constantly getting warmer?? The facts don't hold up that "theory". Read Michael Chrichtons "State of Fear" its a fiction tale thats riddled with fact and he states his references in the footnotes.

Answer 6

My understanding is that global warming is real and that nearly all of the nations believe it too.

Answer 7

Of corse I beleive in global Warming, shouldn't everyone?
