Unfortunately, for the rest of us, however, the global-warming alarmists keep coming back like the undead in a B-grade horror flick. The fanatical proponents of anthropogenic (human caused) global warming, or AGW, have powerful supporters with deep pockets who keep resuscitating them. They have a massive institutional base among Big Government, Big Media, Big Foundations, Big Business, and Big Green, all of which have huge incentives to perpetuate AGW alarmism. No matter how many times the AGW fearmongers\u2019 predictions are shot down, they are resurrected and sent back to frighten more voters\/taxpayers into submission to global policies, taxes, and controls. Utilizing brute power and deception, they intend to reverse de La Rochefoucauld\u2019s prediction and see the facts murdered by their own triumphant theory&#8230;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #025278;\"><strong>Now the United Nations\u2019 IPCC is getting set to release the first of three installments of its latest Assessment Report. And the powers that be are obviously concerned that they do not have sufficient public support in the United States to get Congress to enact the type of trillion-dollar transfers and the \u201ccomplete transformation of the world\u201d envisioned. The IPCC is scheduled to release its Working Group I (WGI) report on the physical science basis of its latest Assessment in September, and they are desperate to gain support for it. In addition to the main stumbling block of American public resistance, they are also running into problems with European countries that once appeared to be locked in as supporters, but which are now revolting due to the crushing costs of alternative \u201cgreen energy\u201d and their own mounting debt and fiscal problems. Many of these countries are jumping ship and now want to switch to the more affordable natural gas that is flooding the global market, thanks to new \u201cfracking\u201d technology. This has the UN and the globalists in a dither. Last September, Fatih Birol, the chief economist at the UN\u2019s International Energy Agency, warned that \u201cgovernments are feeling more and more uncomfortable to put money in renewables especially in the days of austerity, and some governments are cutting their support.&#8221;&#8230;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #025278;\"><strong>&#8230;Many of the world\u2019s leading authorities in climatology, meteorology, atmospheric physics, paleo-geology, and many other disciplines (see below) have been weighing in on the skeptical\/realist side over the past few years and taking the position that it is beyond irresponsible for scientists and politicians to burden humanity with enormous and unprecedented tax and regulatory burdens based merely on frightening computer model scenarios that cannot sustain critical scientific examination.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #025278;\"><strong>In science, facts and truth are discovered by measurement and experiment, independent of surveys, opinion, popularity contests, and \u201cconsensus.\u201d A fact remains a fact whether or not one percent, 97 percent, or 100 percent of scientists believe it to be a fact.
