Brainwashing
A well known expert on hurricanes has, once again, used an annual conference on the subject of his expertise to bash global warming zealots. He stated that there is no less than an attempt to brainwash the young into believing the teachings of the Al Gore cult.
William Gray, the well-known Colorado State University hurricane forecaster, routinely uses the annual National Hurricane Conference as a platform to bash global warming. In a statement to Florida Today, Gray argued that the scientific consensus on global warming is bogus — and "a mild form of McCarthyism has developed toward those scientists who do not agree" that mankind is in danger.
"We are also brainwashing our children on the warming topic. We have no better example than Al Gore's alarmists and inaccurate movie which is being shown in our schools and being hawked by warming activists with little or no meteorological-climate background," Gray wrote.
Some scientists believe global warming will actually decrease — not increase — the number of hurricanes that form over the Atlantic Ocean each year. Last Friday, in the final session of the hurricane conference, a pair of climate experts said rising sea-surface temperatures in and near the Caribbean could strengthen vertical wind shear. Robust wind shear is the bane of hurricanes, as it tends to tear apart cyclones during their formative stages.
Gore's movie has been proven in a British court to contain materially false statements. The "Cascade Effect" is in full flower in the "consensus" on global warming. Cold weather continues throughout much of the Northern hemisphere this year. The big new cure-all for global warming, biofuel, is rapidly losing its sheen, even to the gullible media.

I suspect that Obama (if He wins the election in November) will solve the global warming "crisis" the same way William Jefferson Clinton cured homelessness in the 1990s: after a few empty gestures Democrats and the MSM will simply drop the subject completely. Selling junk science to con voters is one thing, but not even Al Gore is dumb enough to demand that Democrats jump off of a cliff for a theory they all know is fake (after all, if the Goracle really believed in global warming, why does he consume as much electricity as a small nation?).
Sure - global warming cultists will be outraged. But they are a tiny handful, and the MSM will have no trouble muzzling them by cutting off their free publicity.

Unfortunately there will be a lot of damage to undo when this hysteria is confined to the lunatic fringe where it belongs. Everyday I walk by a display in the student center on our campus which informs college kids that "The most important greenhouse gas is CO2."
Has anyone told water vapor it has been replaced?

By claiming that politicians like Gore are hypocrites on global warming, I am actually giving them the benefit of the doubt. Politicians like Gore know when to stop to avoid killing the goose that lays the golden egg (the economy). They may beat the snot out of the goose, but they won’t kill it if they can avoid it.
Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe Gore and the Messiah really believe all of that GW nonsense. In that case - God help us!
