They call this a consensus? OK, some of the content of this article is thought-provoking enough for me to post a longish quote. The "series" mentioned in the quote is here. It is an absolute fact that there is no consensus on global warming, no matter how much the alarmists want there to be.

"More than six months ago, I began writing this series, The Deniers. When I began, I accepted the prevailing view that scientists overwhelmingly believe that climate change threatens the planet. I doubted only claims that the dissenters were either kooks on the margins of science or sell-outs in the pockets of the oil companies.

Somewhere along the way, I stopped believing that a scientific consensus exists on climate change. Certainly there is no consensus at the very top echelons of scientists -- the ranks from which I have been drawing my subjects -- and certainly there is no consensus among astrophysicists and other solar scientists, several of whom I have profiled. If anything, the majority view among these subsets of the scientific community may run in the opposite direction. Not only do most of my interviewees either discount or disparage the conventional wisdom as represented by the IPCC, many say their peers generally consider it to have little or no credibility. In one case, a top scientist told me that, to his knowledge, no respected scientist in his field accepts the IPCC position."

The $8-billion global-warming swindle. Read it.

A Faithful Heretic. An enlighting Q&A with an absolute expert in climatology. Here's a juicy bit:

"A: Well let me give you one fact first. In the first 30 feet of the atmosphere, on the average, outward radiation from the Earth, which is what CO2 is supposed to affect, how much [of the reflected energy] is absorbed by water vapor? In the first 30 feet, 80 percent, okay?

Q: Eighty percent of the heat radiated back from the surface is absorbed in the first 30 feet by water vapor…

A: And how much is absorbed by carbon dioxide? Eight hundredths of one percent. One one-thousandth as important as water vapor. You can go outside and spit and have the same effect as doubling carbon dioxide."

Prius Outdoes Hummer in Environmental Damage. Talk about a story you won't see in the MSM! This ought to send the hard-core enviromental types into conniptions.

Gore as religious figure. This is not satire, it's a real look at a spooky phenomenon.

Scientists Surprised by NASA Chief's Climate Comments. Suprised, evidently, by hearing common sense:

"I have no doubt that a trend of global warming exists," Griffin told Inskeep. "I am not sure that it is fair to say that it is a problem we must wrestle with.

To assume that it is a problem is to assume that the state of Earth's climate today is the optimal climate, the best climate that we could have or ever have had and that we need to take steps to make sure that it doesn't change," Griffin said. "I guess I would ask which human beings — where and when — are to be accorded the privilege of deciding that this particular climate that we have right here today, right now is the best climate for all other human beings. I think that's a rather arrogant position for people to take."

Global warming debunked. The meteorologist in this article thinks global warming "is a joke." I don't think I'd go that far, but he sure seems convinced.
