From Boortz:
Global warming “activists” are not ashamed to tell you how to live your life. But when it comes to their own lives, it must be “do as I say, not as I do.” A recent report out of Great Britain shows that the most environmentally conscious people are also the biggest polluters. Imagine that, OwlGore! This shouldn’t be all that grand a surprise for you. These people aren’t out there to save our planet, they’re out there to make our planet unsafe for capitalism.
People who claim they are “green” or “climate conscious” or whatever the euphemism is this week … these people have the biggest carbon footprints because they are more likely to fly abroad or drive cars. These enviro-whackos are 7% more likely than the general Joe Sixpack to take flights and 4% more likely to own a car.
Yes this study was conducted in Great Britain but similar trends were found in France and in the United States. The recent UN conference in Bali is a prime example of this environmental hypocrisy. Some of the delegates brought carbon offsets to compensate for their travels. Well isn’t that special. Most didn’t. And if they did, what does that even mean? Three trees are planted somewhere in Asia? What about the cost of cooling the conference center in Bali, producing toxins far more damaging to the environment? But just remember, the environmental movement is not about the environment. Just like universal healthcare is not for your health. All of these schemes are redistribution plans that ultimately give more power to the government and politicians.

Climate obviously has changed and will continue to change. The observation that ice is melting does not show that human activity is the cause. The assertion that humans are or ever can have a significant influence on climate by limiting the use of fossil fuel (a.k.a. limiting human production of carbon dioxide) is not supported by any historical record. Avoid the group-think and de facto censorship by Climate Scientists. Directly interrogate official government data that taxpayers have paid for from ORNL and NOAA as follows: If the carbon dioxide level from Lawdome, Antarctica http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/co2/lawdome.combined.dat is graphed on the same time scale as fossil fuel usage from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/emis/tre_glob.htm it is discovered that the current carbon dioxide level increase started about 1750, a century before any significant fossil fuel use. If average earth temperature since 1880 from http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/anomalies/anomalies.html is graphed on the same time scale as fossil fuel use it is discovered that there is no correlation between rising fossil fuel use and average global temperature to 1976. The asserted hypothesis that, since 1976, increasing carbon dioxide level has caused the temperature to rise is refuted by the carbon dioxide level from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/co2/vostok.html and earth temperature from http://cdiac.ornl.gov/ftp/trends/temp/vostok/vostok.1999.temp.dat determined from the Vostok, Antarctica ice cores. If these are graphed on a higher resolution time scale it is discovered that the change in atmospheric carbon dioxide level lags earth temperature change by hundreds of years. If Lawdome and recent carbon dioxide data and Vostok and recent temperature are plotted on the same graph since 1000 AD (or before) it is observed that temperature oscillates up to ±1.5ºC (half pitch about 100 yr) while carbon dioxide level remains essentially unchanged (between 9000BC and 1750AD). This will also show that the average global temperature 200 years ago was about the same as now, 400 years ago was significantly higher than now and current rate of temperature change is fairly typical. Recent measurements show that average earth temperatures in 2006 and 2007 were actually lower than in 1998. As shown at http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/Reference_Docs/Geocarb_III-Berner.pdf ,for most of earth’s history carbon dioxide level has been several times higher than the present. The conclusion from all this is that carbon dioxide change does not cause significant climate change. Actions based on the human-caused global warming mistake put American freedom and prosperity at risk.

Yeah, what’s the deal? Your site shows 0 comments and yet my comment section shows that we have in facts traded comments over the last several days?

dunno…. I have heard of this happening from time to time on wordpress, first time it’s ever happened to me though… I am no censor,,,,,

Totally agreed. It’s amazing how little clear evidence there is for Global warming. Furthermore, there is so much conflicting evidence…much of which still demands an explanation. I wrote about the growing SOuth and shrinking north poles a while back: http://scroggles.com/index.php/greentheo/2007/12/27/the_north_pole_is_shrinking_and_the_sout
Last, it’s sad how politicians recognize a grass roots movement, and then jump on it to try and get themselves a bit more power. Silly Al Gore.
