Enron's Global Warming Scam

no scam. Though no one can guarantee what the future will look like, we see significant changes now and the models are there to show the possibilities, which include some tragic results.

THose who refuse to see the harm we are doing to the earth do so because responsible change would affect affluence and prosperity and would demand more sharing.

A few centuries Galileo got into trouble because some people thought humans were so important that their planet must be the center of the solar system and the universe. Fortunately, they eventually lost the debate.

Today some people with similar attitudes think humans are so powerful that they rather than the sun controls earth's climate. The fact is that earth's temperature varies with the sun's output. Humans have no powers to control temperature and if they did have such power it would take more than slight changes in minor atmospheric gases.

Today we had a high of 55 degrees in the Chicago area. There was a wind chill factor of 42. Wind chill in June. I've written on this issue many times myself and did a lot of research. Here's some inarguable points, but I'm sure the global warming lemmings never will acknowledge:

1. These same scientists thirty years ago (1980)swore up and down we were either in or about to enter an ice age. Their projections showed by the year 1996 much of the northern hemisphere was going to be covered in ice. The reason for the panic was the lack of sunspot activity.

2. In 1988 the UN came out with the report that there is global warming. In less than nine years they went from the talk of ice age to global warming. Man cannot cause such a drastic change.

3. According to NASA, Mars went up further in temperature than Earth did in the same period of time. Earth went up .6 degrees celsius. Mars went up .65 degrees celsius.

4. The winter of 2008 was collectively the coldest winter on record in the northern hemisphere. Global warming lemmings blamed the cold on La Nina, but other scientists were pointing towards a lack of sunspot activity. That is the reason why they, as well as I predicted we would have a colder than average winter in 2009. There was no La Nina in 2009 and we did have a much colder than average winter. It's only reached the eighties here in the Chicago area a handful of times so far this year.

5. If the cold of the 60s-70s and the cold of the last few years were due to a drop in sunspot activity, it doesn't take a genius that it was an increase in sunspot activity that caused the warming.

Did men warm Mars?

There is no scam that we are seeing significant climate changes, though in which direction those climate changes go is anyone's guess. The bulk of the changes are seen at the poles rather than in the temperate zones. Significant changes in the poles are important because too much meling of ice can have very bad results. And we see this at both poles.

BTW, I spent a memorial day weekend in Chicago when the temp was colder than that.

Computer models have trouble predicting tomorrow's weather accurately. The initial computer models of hurricane Ike last year showed a path along Florida's east coast rather than Texas. There is no way they can predict years in the future.

perfectly. They give us partially accurate pictures. But they do give us pictures. I think there is as great fear on those from the right that the computer models imply a change in business and life direction.
