Cooling heads over global warming

Please visit The New Birdblog for my full site postings!


Woody at GM`s Corner has linked to a piece by Senator Inhofe chronicling the many scientists who were former proponents of anthropogenic Global Warming but have since become skeptics. As the science progresses-and it becomes apparent to the public through casual observation-fewer and fewer scientists will be willing to soil their reputations by staying aboard this foundering environmentalist ship.

I had predicted this; that is the reason why we were being given the bum`s rush to implement draconian controls NOW. I suspect that many of those pushing global warming were fully aware that they were shooting blanks, and the need to panic the public into an irrevocable commitment weighed heavily upon them. They had hoped to rush us off the cliffs like lemmings while we were too lathered up to see what we were doing. It hasn`t worked, and now the science is overtaking them.

I guess the bee crisis will be their next big issue.
