The Great Global Warming Swindle
Got a free hour and fifteen minutes on your hands? If so, I highly encourage you to watch this BBC documentary on the global warming movement religion. OK, I know you’re busy. I would at least encourage you to watch the first eight minutes of this documentary.
Don’t get me wrong, I consider myself an environmentalist. I believe we have a stewardship to take care of the earth. I believe that we need to control pollution. I’m concerned about deforestation. I believe in recycling. I think we need to find renewable forms of energy. I am in favor of preserving green spaces. I’m in favor of government funding research for solar and wind power. Growing up in Oregon will do that to you.
All that said, global warming is not a scientific movement. Its a religion. It’s an industry. This documentary proves it and shows how we got to where we are today. The global warming religion is now an industry that employs thousands of people and takes in millions upon millions in public and private funding. Follow the money and you begin to find the real motivations behind this religion.
The global warming religion is a neo-Marxist movement. Its anti-capitalist. It’s anti-progress. It’s pro-poverty. It’s socialist junk science. It’s anti-human.
Are you a “global warming denier“. I am and I am proud of it!
UPDATE: This morning the New York Times released a story questioning Al Gore’s movie and motives. They present an alternative scientific view of the global warming religion. I think its very interesting to see this type of story come out of a paper that is so liberal. I think this shows that the world is starting to wake up to this garbage.
Chris, your blog is the most entertaining blog I read. Keep up the great posts!
I love your choice of words. It really is a “religion”. I’m with you–I’m all for taking care of the environment. But, the global warming religion and other extreme environmentalist initiatives (like trying to shut down wind power generators because they might kill a bird) need to be identified for what they are–garbage.

Thanks! I hope the new job is going well!
Left by Chris Knudsen on 03/13/2007I’m with ya, man–even from the center of environmental fraud, Portland Oregon. I loved this video and it is helping me formulate my position. To me, I am convinced that this movement robs opportunity for the poor.

Left by Headwaters Bamboo on 03/13/2007I’m watching the video now. I’ve never believed one iota of what comes out of Al Gore’s mouth, ever since he claimed to have invented the internet. He’s just a politician looking for another hobby (read: source of income).
Left by Connor on 03/13/2007Do a little research on the actual claims and science presented in this documentary and you may just find that it does not stand up to the scrunity they would have you think.
As we all know don’t believe everything you see on TV.

Left by Mylo on 03/13/2007Re the great GW debate. Yes, I like your comments which accurately sum up the real agenda of the green fanatics. I agree too, that they appear to be promoting a belief system more than scientific data. The truth probably is that human induced GW simply cannot be “proved” by scientists or anyone else.
Left by graham wood on 03/14/2007As it happens there is a Christian ‘take’ on the issue. My paper Global Warming & Climate Change - A Christian Perspective’ is avaliable as a Word doc (fiarly short) if you would like to see it.

Love it - I agree with everything you said I love clean air and water and I never litter.
It seems like nobody has the courage to ask a few questions. I have always been very skeptical whenever people speak in absolutes. I have a feeling that this may be a situation when the emperor doesn’t have any clothes. It wasn’t that long ago that science knew for sure that the sun went around the earth and that the world was flat. I think it is very arrogant to assume that we can have that much control over global change. We didn’t cause the ice age, and we didn’t make it end. So why do we think we have so much influence now?
If the planet is warming than what if anything can we do about it? Should we be spending billions to stop something we can’t stop? Or should we spend that money moving homes further back from the sea? It seams like the earth went through heating and cooling cycles for millions of years before Al Gore, why would shutting off my car change anything now?
Did you read this article about the atmosphere Mars warming even without SUV’s

Pay a tax, change the weather. I don’t think so. Humans account for only 3 percent of the carbon dioxide released into the biosphere annually (Google: carbon cycle). Congresswoman Pelosi’s and Senator Reid’s plans for regressive new carbon offset and green tax legislation are designed in concert with UN and Kyoto Accord mandates. The goal is to reduce human CO2 production by 1/3. How high would new carbon offset taxes on transportation and heating fuels need to be to motivate you and everyone else to cut back by 1/3? At best that level of taxation will reduce annual CO2 production by a mere 1 percent globally. Not much mitigation or hope there. Certainly 1% is not enough to make a difference in the perceived problem of anthropogenic (human) global warming gases. The impact of such draconian tax measures can only be imagined. However, it does beg the question, “If humans can’t really be expected to make much of an impact on global warming gases, how can they possibly be blamed for warming in the first place?” Why are people compelled by politicians and the media to feel responsible and guilty for causing global warming? For the answers, Google “blame, shame and guilt used as political controls”, read “Unstoppable Global Warming” and “The Chilling Stars” for the scientific facts and “State of Fear” for the political dynamics behind this renewed eco-tax controversy. Those party faithful that think this debate is over are sorely mistaken. It’s a little late, but welcome to George Orwell’s “1984â€. Watch -ïƒ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XttV2C6B8pU
Left by John Jauregui on 03/17/2007The Earth has the most varied and unpredictable weather patterns in the solar system. If it is thought that the origin of the present climate change might be solar in nature, it might work to possibly study climactic patterns on other planets. It would stand to reason that changes in the radiation emitted by the sun would affect climate patterns of all planets. If the problem in determining the source of change is due to the vast number of variables at play, studying other planets that have simpler systems might be able to resolve certain aspects of building a model of sufficient complexity. Besides perhaps being able to extrapolate various models, at the very least one could establish whether there are similar changes occurring on other planets which could point to natural rather than man-made processes. It might also serve that research which approaches the problem in an oblique manner would be less vulnerable to accusations of political tampering or “junk science”.

Well jokes on you. Al Gore never said he invented the internet. Go ahead do a little research on the subject and educate yourself.A by the way, do you think this film is going to stand up to any sort of minimal scrutiny from rational/knowledgable poeple. Don’t think so. These people play you all for fools and you are so willing to play the fool. I feel sorry for you.
