Earth Day refutation of global warming

By The Standard Staff - 04/22/2008

Since 1998, the hottest year on record according to the Nobel-liar Al Gore (1934 was hotter), the global average temperature has not risen; the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere since 1998 has increased from about 365 parts per million to about 387 ppm. (NASA and the University of Alabama at Huntsville temperature data: “UAH MSU lower troposphere” and “Hadly CRU T3v.” Scripps Mauna Loa CO2 data).

From 1850 to the present, the global temperature has risen about 0.8 degrees Centigrade while CO2 concentration has gone from about 280 ppm to 387 ppm. According to the UN’s hypothesis of global warming, the global surface temperature should have risen 2 to 5 degrees in that time period due to increased CO2.

Thus, the computer models are wrong by a factor of 10, and/or, there is no cause and effect relationship between temperature rise and the amount of CO2 emitted to the atmosphere.

Montana Standard, Oct. 25, 2007: Baucus will back bill to cap global warming gases: “The bill ultimately requires power plants and vehicles to reduce their greenhouse gases by 70 percent. ... We cannot be good stewards if we ignore the fact that climate change threatens to result in longer droughts, more severe wildfire seasons, and no

glaciers in Glacier National Park.”

Max, the glaciers have been melting since the last ice age ended. Maybe you should read some history about why Vikings no longer farm in Greenland.

Our farmer governor, Schweitzer, vice chairman of the Democratic Governor’s Association that met in Big Sky a couple of weeks ago, is hoping to “establish a fee on emissions which would be used to advance greener technologies like carbon sequestration. ... He says the governors are in a position to push the fee, which Schweitzer prefers to a plan for a cap and trade system or carbon tax” (fee isn’t tax?).

The Congressional Budget Office predicts that reducing greenhouse gases by

15 percent will cost the average household 3 percent of its income (www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/80xx/doc8027/04-25-Cap_trade.pdf). A 2007 MIT study implies that mandatory greenhouse gas reductions being proposed by Congress could cost a typical family of four $5,000 every year (http://web.mit.edu/global-change/www/mitjpspgc_rpt146.pdf).

I guess Montanans need to pay more to heat their houses (“fees”) because of the computer hypotheses that man is affecting the earth’s climate.

Schweitzer and Baucus are just like Hillary and Obama. They are for change. Every bit of change you have in your pocket.
