Global Warming is a Hoax
I have long believed that the current global warming super meme is a collectivist hoax, designed to stamped stampede the uneducated majority into a panic and thereby empower leftist elites to the detriment of individual rights. These individual rights, especially private property, are the basis of civilization (or what’s left of civilization).
There’s an article in the UK Times Online debunking much of the bad science behind the global warming hoax. It’s trust is that solar activity, not carbon dioxide, is the main driver of climate change. It points to and acutal experiment showing the relationship of cosmic rays to cloud formation. Well worth the read.
And what of the heavy snows in the US mid-west and northeast this week? The silence from the global warming jihadis is defenening.

“designed to stamped the uneducated majority”
I think you meant STAMPEDE - but then again, what would I expect from a frothing capitalist who puts $$$ before planetary health.

Periodically, I consider the possibility — nay, the likelihood — that most warming is caused by the sun (didn’t I read elsewhere that there is “global warming” on other largish bodies in the solar system? Frankly, that could be a lot scarier than what Al Gore is worried about. A runaway sun — now that is Global Warming to conjure with.

Paul C - You’re right, I used “stamped” when I meant “stampede”. I was too preoccupied trying to think of new ways to exploit the workers of the world
But Paul, it was in the last 250 years that peoples health vastly improved if we use lifespan as a proxy for health. This period corresponds to the industrial revolution in Europe and later in the US - and this is also the capitalist era (I almost typed “error”).
Julie - Yes, it is scary. My limited understanding of the geological record is that the climate has always been changing, from warm to cold and back. It happens on such a long time scale that we humans don’t often perceive it. In recent decades we have been able to measure more phenomena more accurately (ocean temperature, polar ice sheets, etc.) so can see these changes in a more real time way. Plus, we now have almost unlimited computing power so we can model climate change. This is both good and bad. It’s good to improve observation, and computers can store massive amounts of data. The down side is that computers let us make mistakes faster if we are not very careful.
