The Myth of Greenhouse Gases

Since you won't ever hear this from the MSM.

Some 19000 of the worlds
scientists
and experts on climatology have signed declarations saying that
blaming rising CO2 levels on mankind is garbage-junk science at it's worst-and
they insist that all the available evidence proves their contention.
Now
comes Robert W. Felix in his book "Not by Fire But by Ice" argues persuasively
that it is not global warming but ocean warming that is pushing CO2 levels
through the roof. Moreover, those skyrocketing levels of CO2 are bringing on a
new ice age, which is sitting at our front door right now.
According to
Felix, the oceans are warming as a result of widespread underwater volcanic
activity which he thoroughly documents. He adds We've forgotten that this isn't
the first time our seas have warmed. Sea temperatures also shot upwards 10 -18
deg. F just prior to the last ice age. [snip] And he warns the same thing is
happening today.
Who new that 19,000 scientists worldwide consider man-made global warming a canard? One of the best kept secrets going.

Global Warming Skeptics: "What about the 19,000 scientists who claim we should not worry about global warming?"

Fiction: There is no scientific consensus on climate change. Just look at the 19,000 scientists who signed on to the Global Warming Petition Project.

Facts: In the spring of 1998, mailboxes of US scientists flooded with packet from the "Global Warming Petition Project," including a reprint of a Wall Street Journal op-ed "Science has spoken: Global Warming Is a Myth," a copy of a faux scientific article claiming that "increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide have no deleterious effects upon global climate," a short letter signed by past-president National Academy of Sciences, Frederick Seitz, and a short petition calling for the rejection of the Kyoto Protocol on the grounds that a reduction in carbon dioxide "would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind."

The sponsor, little-known Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, tried to beguile unsuspecting scientists into believing that this packet had originated from the National Academy of the Sciences, both by referencing Seitz's past involvement with the NAS and with an article formatted to look as if it was a published article in the Academy's Proceedings, which it was not. The NAS quickly distanced itself from the petition project, issuing a statement saying, "the petition does not reflect the conclusions of expert reports of the Academy."

The petition project was a deliberate attempt to mislead scientists and to rally them in an attempt to undermine support for the Kyoto Protocol. The petition was not based on a review of the science of global climate change, nor were its signers experts in the field of climate science. In fact, the only criterion for signing the petition was a bachelor's degree in science. The petition resurfaced in early 2001 in an renewed attempt to undermine international climate treaty negotiations. Unscrupulous global warming skeptics still cite the petition occasionally in attempting to convince politicians and unsuspecting publics that global warming isn't real, despite the fact that it's been over 6 years since the hoax was perpetrated and the scheme proved to be fraudulent.

who are you going to trust nobel prize winners? or 19,000 guys with a bachelor's degree in science?
