A physics professor at Princeton is the latest of hundreds and hundreds of scientists who’ve stepped up to the plate saying anthropogenic CO2 as the cause of global warming is bogus.

Professor denies global warming theory

“Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. Every time you exhale, you exhale air that has 4 percent carbon dioxide. To say that that’s a pollutant just boggles my mind. What used to be science has turned into a cult.”

In other news, what I said before is coming to pass. I wrote that when global cooling takes hold we’ll be left with only a fervent wish that more CO2 could warm it back up. Well, a newspaper editor in Flint Michigan has started praying for global warming.

It’s time to pray for global warming, says Flint Journal columnist John Tomlinson

Selected quotes:

At December’s U.N. Global Warming conference in Poznan, Poland, 650 of the world’s top climatologists stood up and said man-made global warming is a media generated myth without basis. Said climatologist Dr. David Gee, Chairman of the International Geological Congress, “For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?”

Meanwhile, the University of Illinois’ Arctic Climate Research Center released conclusive satellite photos showing that Arctic ice is back to 1979 levels. What’s more, measurements of Antarctic ice now show that its accumulation is up 5 percent since 1980.

Ironically, in spite of being shown false, we must now pray for it. Because a massive study, just released by the Russian Government, contains overwhelming evidence that earth is on the verge of another Ice Age.

critter It's related to Darwinian evolution in that both are cult science driven by political, social, financial, and ideologic goals. Both ostracize skeptics, call them denialists in the way people are called holocaust deniers, derail their careers, and other generally dirty tactics. Plus what WeaselSpotting said. DaveScot

Actually, both climatology and evolution are subjects that involve long strings of inferences, any of which can be faulty. They depend on the reliability of deep time. They're heavy on computer simulations, pre-fed with questionable assumptions (Note, by the way,how cleanly ID slices through some of the above failings) So, critiquing one "science" prepares you for a critique of the other.WeaselSpotting

The people purveying 'AGW' and 'Evolution' don't tell the whole truth about these things, because if they did, increasing numbers of people would be at least 'skeptical' about both of them, if not in out and out in 'denial'. Andrewasauber

I have 20" of global warming on my deck at the moment. It's called SNOW...and its the most I recall having on the ground at one time around here in a long time. Also, the temps have been bitter -17 last week. I agree with guy from Flint...send some warmth...please!DonaldM

“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming?” Absolutely priceless.SeanSean

If there is a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, or any other countries, for that matter, then global warming will be the least of our worries.Davem
