Global Warming alarmists on the march again ...

BBC news chiefs attack plans for climate change campaign (The Guardian) Guardian Unlimited

Where are they getting all the money to feed the world this steady diet of propaganda? How did Al Gore raise $100 million for his plan to blanket us with 24/7 end-of-the-world dogma? How is there a promoter found in almost every organization? Every media outlet? Every corporation? Every political pursuasion, at all levels of government? It is maddening!

Betting Against Al Gore: JunkScience.com ups ante to $100,000

(Chicago, Illinois - August 14, 2007) The latest challenge to the heavily promoted idea that global warming is man-made and likely to be harmful is a $100,000 reward offered by JunkScience.com to the first person who can scientifically prove Al Gore's theory that human beings are causing harmful global warming.

Gore continues to aggressively pursue his claim that harmful global warming is caused by man-made carbon dioxide emissions. Repeating the formula of fear used in his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Gore continues his climate change crusade with a dramatic PowerPoint presentation, book tour, and concerts. His book signings double as campaign rallies and volunteers energize the crowd and collect petition signatures for Gore's possible run for president.

At the center of the debate challenge is the question of whether man-made carbon dioxide causes global warming. This theory has become increasingly difficult to defend as:
evidence of natural climate variability due to solar cycles is more widely embraced in the scientific community; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently announced global temperatures in the 21st century were not warmer than those before World War II; and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently released the comments of scientists whose reviews of the fourth assessment report were critical of global warming theory ... and largely disregarded by the report's lead authors.


Junkscience.com is offering a $100,000 reward to anyone able to prove two of the key hypotheses that need to be true if fear of global warming is justified. Details can be found at http://ultimateglobalwarmingchallenge.com/.

The list of Gore debate challengers continues to grow as scientists, economists, and researchers dissect his extreme rhetoric and unjustified conclusions. Junkscience.com joins best-selling author Dennis Avery (Unstoppable Global Warming), Lord Christopher Monckton (a science advisor to Margaret Thatcher), Bjorn Lomborg (Danish economist), author Michael Crichton, Dr. S. Fred Singer (Unstoppable Global Warming, former director of the U.S. National Weather Service), Dr. Tim Ball (historical climatologist), Prof. Ian Clark (University of Ottawa), and Prof. Richard Lindzen (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), among others.

Gore has refused all debate challengers to date. Joseph Bast, president of The Heartland Institute, notes, "Maybe it's because climate alarmists tend to lose when they debate climate realists. Or because most scientists do not support climate alarmism." The Heartland Institute has run ads worth more than $500,000 in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and Washington Times promoting a debate.
