29 Oct 98 To: After reading your article, “Scientists: Get ready for global warming,”
I was very much afraid for Man’s future.
Not because I believe in the global warming nonsense, but because of the
consequences we willface as environmentalists continue to assault Man and
technology while the media presents only one side of the story. Your article implies that most scientists are in agreement about global
warming, while only a small minority are not.
In fact, the opposite is true. For instance, when the UN bureaucrats assembled a large group of
scientists to study global warming, they drafted the summary known as the Kyoto
protocol. In so doing, to present the
illusion of a consensus, they included all 10,000 contributors whether they
agreed with the summary or not. This
number also included non-scientists, such as clerks and the like. How does a scandal like this go virtually
unmentioned by the media, while any scandal involving President Clinton makes
the front page? In response to this protocol, 15,000 scientists responded by declaring
their opposition to the Kyoto protocol.
This is far more than the 10,000 who were allegedly in agreement with
it. Again, this fact went virtually
unmentioned by the media. Moreover, we are always told about the alleged mechanisms causing
global warming and its imagined affects, but are never presented with any
evidence. On the other hand, the
enormous evidence to the contrary is always ignored. Nor are we told about
potential benefits, if it were true, such as increased food production. It appears that global warming is taken on
faith and is never questioned. I don’t know who to blame most; the Man hating environmentalists who
are trying to destroy technology and obtain government funds; the politicians
who want to further their careers; or the media for being one-sided and failing
to investigate and report the truth. In her book, The New Left: The Anti-Industrial Revolution, Ayn
Rand warned that environmentalism would be the next crusade of the leftist
activists. She was right, but it is
amazing how quite the oppositions is--for now. |
