<DIV>I'm guessing that Pat was in her youth and probably still is a
follower/worshipper of Dan Smoot, who among other things:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"... the <A title="Alaska Mental Health Enabling Act"
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_Mental_Health_Enabling_Act">Alaska
Mental Health Bill</A> of <A title=1956
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956">1956</A>, which Smoot claimed was a
communist conspiracy to establish concentration camps on American soil."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>She has probably given up looking for communists behind every tree or
socialistic thought provoking ripple in the government, but now focus on
the real enemies of the world: the advancement of scientific knowledge and
those pointing out that religious beliefs are founded on unverifiable
superstition and ought to be seriously questioned and replaced with something
much more humane in result.</DIV>

<DIV>I make a point of studying the scientific counter evidence to the
claim that human induced global warming is a serious problem that we must
address. I'd rather that human induced global warming was a hoax or a
fraud. Then I could buy that gas hog muscle car/SUV to pump up my ego,
image and masculinity, with no worry about melting down the polar ice caps...
<BR> </DIV>
<DIV>Can you provide a reference to a peer reviewed article in a respected
scientific journal that claims that the recently published findings of the
IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change) are a hoax?</DIV>

<DIV>I'm ready to discover that the "She's so fine, my 409" (think "Beach Boys,
California, 1960s") dream of my youth will not cause the Idaho snow pack to fade
into history, negatively impacting irrigation, fish runs, drinking water, hydro
power and recreation in reservoirs, not to mention increasing forest fires due
to increasing and earlier drying of tinder due to earlier and shrinking snow
pack, or that increased warming will not cause an invasion of organisms
attacking forests or crops, such as already has happened in Alaska due to
climate warming, or result in extremes of drought or massively increased
rainfall... </DIV>

Warming Is Lies' Claims Documentary<BR>Sunday, 4th March 2007,
11:04<BR><BR>Accepted theories about man causing global warming are "lies"
claims a <BR>controversial new TV documentary.<BR><BR>'The Great Global
Warming Swindle' - backed by eminent scientists - is set<BR>to rock the
accepted consensus that climate change is being driven
by<BR>humans.<BR><BR>The programme, to be screened on Channel 4 on Thursday
March 8, will see a <BR>series of respected scientists attack the "propaganda"
that they claim is<BR>killing the world's poor.<BR><BR>Nobody in the
documentary defends the greenhouse effect theory, as it claims<BR>that climate
change is natural, has been occurring for years, and ice <BR>falling from
glaciers is just the spring break-up and as normal as leaves<BR>falling in
autumn.<BR><BR>A source at Channel 4 said: "It is essentially a polemic and we
are<BR>expecting it to cause trouble, but this is the controversial
programming <BR>that Channel 4 is renowned for."<BR><BR>Controversial director
Martin Durkin said: "You can see the problems with<BR>the science of global
warming, but people just don't believe you - it's<BR>taken 10 years to get
this commissioned. <BR><BR>"I think it will go down in history as the first
chapter in a new era of the<BR>relationship between scientists and society.
Legitimate scientists - people<BR>with qualifications - are the bad
guys.<BR><BR>"It's very rare that a film changes history, but I think this is
a turning <BR>point and in five years the idea that the greenhouse effect is
the main<BR>reason behind global warming will be seen as total
bollocks.<BR><BR>In 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' Al Gore is shown
claiming this proves <BR>the theory, but paleoclimatologist Professor Ian
Clark claims in the<BR>documentary that it actually shows the
opposite.<BR><BR>He has evidence showing that warmer spells in the Earth's
history actually<BR>came an average of 800 years before the rise in CO2
levels. <BR><BR>He said the influential United Nations report on Climate
change, that<BR>claimed humans were responsible, was a sham. It claimed to be
the opinion of<BR>2,500 leading scientists, but Prof Reiter said it included
names of <BR>scientists who disagreed with the findings and resigned from the
UN's<BR>Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and said the report was
finalised<BR>by Government appointees.<BR><BR>The CO2 theory is further
undermined by claims that billions of pounds is <BR>being provided by
governments to fund greenhouse effect research, so<BR>thousands of scientists
know their job depends on the theory continuing to<BR>be seen as
fact.<BR><BR>Copyright © 2006 National News +44(0)207 684 3000 <BR><BR>read
