Another Heretic Challenges the Gobal Warming Orthodoxy

Dr. Timothy Ball, a retired University of Winnipeg climatology professor, is calling shenanigans on the Global Warming movement:

Believe it or not, Global Warming is not due to human contribution of Carbon Dioxide (CO2). This in fact is the greatest deception in the history of science. We are wasting time, energy and trillions of dollars while creating unnecessary fear and consternation over an issue with no scientific justification. For example, Environment Canada brags about spending $3.7 billion in the last five years dealing with climate change almost all on propaganda trying to defend an indefensible scientific position while at the same time closing weather stations and failing to meet legislated pollution targets.
Dr. Ball believes that current trends indicate we may soon enter a cycle of global cooling. He considers these cycles natural and outside the control of technology.

Fair Warning: the link for Dr. Ball's article has some of the most obnoxious popup ads ever.

1 20 years ago, they were talking about the coming ice age within our lifetime if we didn't change our ways.  Now, it's global warming. Hell, just a couple of years ago, Algore was telling us how 'The Day After Tomorrow' should be an true-to-life warning to the world and this was a MOVIE about an ice age occuring in a single day.
 
As with everything else, follow the money trail. The 'scientists' who scream the loudest are the ones who have the most federal grant dollars to lose.

2 Yes, lets follow the money trail.

Scientists have the most to lose?  I'd say it is the oil and gas industry.

3 I did not see Dr. Ball's name in that piece. I did see that it was a Guardian story which is about the same as linking to Fidel Castro's personal blog.
 
I find Dr. Ball's certainty to be unsupported by his article and his willingness to reference Michael Crichton somewhat laughable but the fact that he was slandered by David Suzuki is a plus in my book and it exposes the "there is no legitimate descent" argument as a lie.

4 Bad argument. The oil and gas industry isn't screaming about global warming.
 
Yet, I see there is no response to the constant back-and-forth of scientists' opinion of global-warmimg and global-cooling every few years.  Tell your boys to provide some proof and, maybe, stick with one argument.
 
Federal grant dollars.  Try some research to that as related to those crying about global warming instead of providing a link to The Guardian.  Yeah, there's an independent source.

5 No need for his opponents to address him on the merits.  He's obviously paid by the oil companies.  In fact, Leftards will only cite a global warming dissenter if he's paid by the "oil companies" that way they can dismiss him for being paid by the oil companies.  LOL.

6 According to Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) we are about to enter another ice age. I distinctly remember this from an episode of "In Search Of..." from when I was in high school. That would be the mid-70's.

I think there's a 50/50 chance it's true. LOL!

7 Ad hominem, pug wort. Try again, this time refuting the data.

10 Weaver,
 
I could actually feel sorry for you if you had an excuse for being so ill informed.  You obviously have a computer so the only other excuse is that you desire to remain willfully ignorant.  There is no feeling sorry for rednecks.

11 News Flash !!! The earth is flat not round. Go on outside and check it out.

Some people manage to make it cool to be called an 'ill informed redneck'. I'm neither, but considering the source, I'm flattered


As to whether there is any substance to the claims I make about Al Gore, I suggest genuinely curious readers just use your favorite search engines and check out who, and what I'm talking about. Then if you feel like it you can feel sorry for Al Gore's devoted drones.


If you call them on it they will call you ill-informed, and a redneck, but don't let that bother you, because it's just an intimidation tactic.


Add "Armand Hammer", to your search, and also "Midieval warm period". If that doesn't stir up some controversy I'd say you weren't trying.


If you don't look at both sides of the global warming isssue, it is exactly like looking out your window, and deciding the earth is flat. If you want to find out what the earth really looks like you have to leave your house, and do some moving around. get to a mountaintop where you can see the curve of the horizon.


Right now, the global warming alarmists are telling you that what you see outside the window is the wole story, except they are the ones who landscaped that yard your looking at. So "JOHN RYAN" makes an unintended point. You should go out and get more information, instead of just sitting there.


Use your search engine, and look up articles and information about who is disputing the "consensus" of the alarmists. Read what they have to say, and see how they have analyzed the alarmists dogmas, and faulty models. Don't be "ill informed" and just accept what you are told by Al Gore and his attack dogs.


And by all means DO check out "Timothy Ball" and the "Friends of Science" because after all, I am more concerned that you readers get the whole story, than just the parts that the alarmists have pre-approved for you. make up your own mind after seeing BOTH sides. Thats the way good decisions are made.


USA, all the way!

13 Snivel Behaviour:


There is no feeling sorry for White suburban punks with the lowest standardized test scores in American history. Go back to your rap CDs, video games and your parents' low expectations. The grown ups are having a conversation.

14 John Lyin:


You would know about the Earth being flat. Your mullah masters already issued a religious edict claiming it was so. Maybe thay can issue an edict on anthropogenic warming, too.


You wait for the Earth to cook like a giant pizza. The rest of us are addicted to reality.
