[Vision2020] Global Warming: The Cold, Hard Facts?

[david sarff]

Hi Doug,
Here’s a couple of links, one for the web site: 
http://www.nrsp.com/background.html
And one about the present scene with Dr. Ball. 
http://www.desmogblog.com/tim-ball-vs-dan-johnson-lawsuit-documents
I’ll even keep track of it and let you know how it ends up.

>Dr. Tim Ball is Chairman of the Natural Resources Stewardship Project,

>past climates and the impact of climate change on human history and the
>human condition.

>What would happen if tomorrow we were told that, after all, the Earth
>is flat? It would probably be the most important piece of news in the
>media and would generate a lot of debate. So why is it that when
>scientists who have studied the Global Warming phenomenon for years say
>that humans are not the cause nobody listens? Why does no one
>acknowledge that the Emperor has no clothes on?
>
>Global Warming, as we think we know it, doesn't exist. And I am not the
>only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth.
>But few listen, despite the fact that I was one of the first Canadian
>Ph.Ds. in Climatology and I have an extensive background in
>climatology, especially the reconstruction of past climates and the
>impact of climate change on human history and the human condition. Few
>listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the
>University of London, England and was a climatology professor at the
>University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World
>is not listening. Here is why.
>
>Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of
>Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the
>history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of
>dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue
>with no scientific justification. For example, Environment Canada brags
>about spending $3.7 billion in the last five years dealing with climate
>change almost all on propaganda trying to defend an indefensible
>scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and
>failing to meet legislated pollution targets.
>
>No sensible person seeks conflict, especially with governments, but if
>we don't pursue the truth, we are lost as individuals and as a society.
>That is why I insist on saying that there is no evidence that we are,
>or could ever cause global climate change. And, recently, Yuri A.
>Izrael, Vice President of the United Nations sponsored
>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirmed this
>statement. So how has the world come to believe that something is wrong?
>
>Maybe for the same reason we believed, 30 years ago, that global
>cooling was the biggest threat: a matter of faith. "It is a cold fact:
>the Global Cooling presents humankind with the most important social,
>political, and adaptive challenge we have had to deal with for ten
>thousand years. Your stake in the decisions we make concerning it is of
>ultimate importance; the survival of ourselves, our children, our
>species," wrote Lowell Ponte in 1976.
>
>I was as opposed to the threats of impending doom global cooling
>engendered as I am to the threats made about Global Warming. Let me
>stress I am not denying the phenomenon has occurred. The world has
>warmed since 1680, the nadir of a cool period called the Little Ice Age
>(LIA) that has generally continued to the present. These climate
>changes are well within natural variability and explained quite easily
>by changes in the sun. But there is nothing unusual going on.
>
>Since I obtained my doctorate in climatology from the University of
>London, Queen Mary College, England my career has spanned two climate
>cycles. Temperatures declined from 1940 to 1980 and in the early 1970's
>global cooling became the consensus. This proves that consensus is not
>a scientific fact. By the 1990's temperatures appeared to have reversed
>and Global Warming became the consensus. It appears I'll witness
>another cycle before retiring, as the major mechanisms and the global
>temperature trends now indicate a cooling.
