The hissing sound you hear is the deflating of the puffed up man-made global warming balloon. Here are some of what has punctured it.
In spite of attempts to downplay the news, word is leaking out the temperature of the earth is actually cooling. Perhaps you noticed a touch of this yourself in Northeastern Ohio this spring. Four agencies that track the earth's temperature report that the planet cooled by about 0.7C in 2007. This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back where we were in 1930.
According to The New York Times, new coal plants are going up almost weekly in India and China, and none of these plants are designed to be retrofitted to capture carbon emissions. And ''enlightened'' Europe is turning to coal, too.
Based on three recent scientific studies, the evidence is now overwhelming that China leads the U.S. as the world's top producer of carbon dioxide. Yet, in spite of this, eco-extremists like Al Gore still refuse to include developing countries like China, India and Brazil in any of their proposed mandates to reduce carbon emissions.
So what's the explanation? It's that the true goal behind the global warming is to advance socialism by tying the U.S. up in eco-regulations and higher taxes. This will shift more power away from individuals and towards big government, and from the U.S. to international government agencies like the U.N.
Because the science is mounting up against them, the eco-hysterics will soon drop the term 'global warming' and will instead substitute 'climate change' so as not to derail their real project -- more government control.
