I was surprised by a contributor thinking that a petition by 32,000 scientists had nothing to add to the disapproval of Man-Made Global Warming, but he is wrong. Beside reasserting their conviction, first voiced in 1997 (back when Kyoto was first discussed), in October 2007 through to March 2008 (to have all the old and many new signatures recorded), they also updated a review paper with new data to confirm and reenforce their scientific views against the hysteria of coming doom.
Please visit the websites:
www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/GWPP/Frequently_Asked_Questions.html (for background on their mission)
www.petitionproject.org/gwdatabase/GW_article/GWReview_OISM300.pdf (for a summation of their meaningful data)
And yes, there is even a good case for the influence of Sunspots and Cosmic Rays: "The Chilling Stars" by H.Svensmark & N. Calder
I might also add for the enlightenment of this contributor that the site he pointed out supposedly disproving the Heat Vent Adaptive Iris finding of Dr Richard Lindzen (of MIT) is not true. Another scientist is only disputing his team's findings. Both stand by their findings. Only time will tell.
For the smart-alec thinking my warnings of the Greens becoming the new 21st century Commies sounding like McCarthyism I can only advise him to read, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming (and Environmentalism)" by Christopher C. Horner.
The big media have spoken on the question of global warming and the debate is officially over they say. "Be afraid, be very afraid!", warns TIME magazine. But have Al Gore and his envirnomentalist allies really proven their case? Not even close, says Christopher Horner. In this book he exposes the shoddy science, plain dishonesty and the hidden agenda behind the biggest phoney environ- mental scare since, well...since the Green's predictions of catastrophic global cooling in the 1970's. We should trust them now???
This book reprints the actual written & verbal statements made by various environmentalists over the past 30 years espousing the fanatical Green Doctrine of total social engineering and control (just like Commies). Your life will change, but not for the better. For with the help of the United Nations their objective is to build support for world taxation and rationing of industrially important energy. Thank God there are still people out there not being Suckered in by their many guilt-trips of "Woe-is-Me!", "The Sky is Falling!" and "It's All Your Fault!"
