environmental lies
Last night I caught Elizabeth Vargas introducing a segment on World News Tonight about global warming wiping out 'many, many' different types of animal species.'Many, many. Just gone FOREVER,' Vargas exclaimed, slightly panicked.
Then this morning in the San Diego Union Tribune I saw a piece about how global warming is just killing frogs. Nary of mention of the 'many, many species.'
So, which is it? Is global warming wiping out 'many, many' animals or is it just killing frogs? Someone please tell me. I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't get an answer to this vital question.
How sinister is this radical environmental agenda? It's all just a big lie. Scary. And scary that so many people believe these lies.

While the study shows that dozens of different species of frogs have been extinct since 1980 on account of global warming, the same study suggests that over 100 species of amphibians have been extinct in the same way.
Thus, it isn't just frogs, and the study demonstrates that there is just cause to believe that hundreds more species may be affected in the same way. Disagreement with reality does not equate to science being a bunch of lies.
sweeeet! thanks for the link, dahrling ... if you want to dedicate an entry to my site, feel free ... i'd like to see your political analysis ;)

Srcastic, I love your eerily calm yet soothing condescension. There's no such thing as global warming. Of course, you could most likely locate 100 scientists to support your position and I could find 100 who see things my way.
One thing is for sure: The planet was warmer a 100 hundred years ago than it is today.
Knox, same for you. You are so subtle. No problem. I'll give you 'a blurb' as they say in the publishing game.
I'd welcome your finding of 100 credible scientists that see it your way. I'd welcome you starting with 6. Here are 6 former heads of the EPA, 5 of whom were Republican appointees under Bush, Nixon, and Reagan. They, as well as President Bush, don't think that it is nonsense, so your view seems to be a fringe view that denies the overwealming weight of evidence.
I don't care if every scientist on the planet endorses the theory of global warming as fact. I don't believe in it.
Here's a post I wrote in December '04 about this very subject.
"Fraudulent Science
"If someone tells you that they believe in global warming, just laugh at them. Then, once you stop laughing, if they haven't walked away, encourage them to to read Andrei Illarionov's brilliant piece in The Australian."
Illarionov, chief economic adviser to the president of the Russian Federation, correctly points out that global temperature fluctuation is nothing new. It's been happening regularly throughout the earth's history. The planet is actually cooler now than it was in Roman times.
"For all you science buffs, MIT's Richard Lindzen, the world's foremost atmospheric physicist, is on record as saying that if there were such a thing as global warming, the world would have fewer severe weather patterns. Remember all those hurricanes that hit Florida earlier this year? The most ever?"
"The notion of global warming is patently ridiculous. Leonardo DiCaprio believing in it doesn't make it true. Even the Russians pronounced the Kyoto Treaty as junk science last year."
"I am NOT saying that protecting the environment is a trivial matter. Quite the contrary. Wreaking havoc on the earth is wrong and unacceptable. We all need to be responsible, corporations and individuals, alike. I hate the fact that the oceans are polluted. I support real solutions to keeping our air and water clean. But, like everything else in life, it all comes down to money. And politics."
"So far, Australia, the United States and 176 other nations are refusing to opt-in to Kyoto primarily because restrictions on emissions would translate into severe restrictions on the economies of participating nations. If you cripple a economy, you kill a country. And to date, pro-Kyoto countries, like Canada and Japan, have had far less productive economic growth rates that their non-Kyoto counterparts, 1.9% to 3.3%."
"Numbers don't lie. And I'm not lying when I say that I think the Kyoto Protocol is nothing more than a scheme to damage the American economy and knock us off of our 'SuperPower perch.'"
"Beyond the math and the money, there simply is no proof that the planet is getting warmer. Instead, all we have are zealots who predict dire futures for our children, based on flimsy data. Funny, but that sounds a lot like the so-called 'experts' who give credence to the inaccurate procedure of cardon dating as the foundation for the 'theory' of evolution."
