So the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has finally gotten done "editing" a report on Global Warming that came last Spring. It’s curious as to why they felt they needed to “edit” the report, rather than just releasing the document and letting it speak for itself.

The conclusions that they came too are even less surprising: humans are polluting the Earth and we’re all doomed if we don’t put them in charge right now.

That’s right – just like any other advertiser, if we don’t buy the IPCC line and do buy it right now we’re all doomed. But personally I’ve never believed a telemarketer who told me that I need a product or service right now or my life would be incomplete. So I’m not about to believe that the UN needs to be in charge based on their own work.  Do I need to remind you this is the same outfit that over stated the AIDS epidemic, violated their own trade embargo during the “Oil for Food” years of Iraq and can’t even fix otherwise simple problems like ending nuclear proliferation.

Of course libs – some of the exact same people who look at 9-11 and smell a George Bush/Israeli plot to bring down the Muslim middle East are all excited about this and buy it hook, line and sinker.

Naturally I’m skeptical. For starters there is no evidence of Global Warming. Zip. Zero. Nada. None. For every shrinking glacier, there’s one that’s growing. For every place going through a heat wave, there is a place going through a chill. None of the computer models that they’ve put together so far have panned out. Supposedly places like England and Mexico are supposed to turn in to giant deserts. Instead both places are flooding. Right now, Argentina is stuck in the “Winter that won’t End” with some of the coldest temperatures on record for Nov. Last June saw late winter storms in Wyoming and Sweden. A year ago Russian scientists were predicting the coming of a new ice age as they shivered through one of Europe’s coldest winters on record.

The warmest period in human history was during the middle ages. Warm weather allowed the Vikings to find the continent of North America (and colonize it). It also allowed for farming in Scotland – something that can’t be done today even with our modern technology.

Al Gore’s movie is full of errors. A British court ruled just a few weeks ago that eleven inaccuracies had to be pointed out before showing his film to school children…and that’s just what the court is requiring be pointed out. He keeps throwing around the word “consensus” like that makes him right. I remember science class in school. Sometimes we’d all come to the same conclusion in our homework only to find out the answer was wrong. The teacher didn’t change it to make us right – the teacher flunked us as we deserved.

Then there is problems with the theory of warming itself. According Global Warming theory, the deserts will grow as the globe gets hotter. This is the flawed thinking of the ill informed. They’re confusing a heat wave with a drought. Though they often go hand in hand the two are very different things. Follow me here: heat causes evaporation, evaporation causes humidity and clouds, once the atmosphere becomes saturated it rains. Thus more heat equal MORE rain doesn’t it?

Carbon Dioxide doesn’t change the way the wind blows any more than an oil spill changes the way a river runs. There are other forces at work – the turning of the earth and gravity for example.

Geologically speaking humans don’t put that much CO2 in the air anyway - just 3.4%. The other 96% comes from natural sources. One volcano can spit out more CO2 in the course of a single eruption than all human activity in throughout history put together. The oceans produce our Oxygen and suck up the CO2.

But I’ll play this game with you. Let’s assume that Global Warming is happening. You’re going to have a hard time pinning it on humans. Geologic history is a patch work of warming and cooling.

And what are the IPCC’s fixes for Global Warming? How are they purposing to stop it? The first thing they’re going to do is raise taxes as if we can buy it off and have it go attack another planet. Ostensibly this money will go to poor “developing” nations (but the UN is so corrupt, I’m thinking it will go other places.)

So are these “developing” nations going to use it to modernize? Environmentalists hate modernization. In order to save the environment, starving third world citizens will have to stay starving.

Technology is what allows millions of people to live on the globe. This is why it took six thousand years to create a population of billions. The reason we grow so much food is because we no longer have to feed the ox that pulls the plow. Gas powered tractors don’t eat a portion of the grain and corn. Irrigation allows us to bring water to arid places that can’t otherwise support plants. Pesticides insure that the plants won’t be eaten before it gets to the human table. And fertilizer causes the plants to grow bigger and healthier than at any other time in history.

But all of these things change the environment. Land has to be cleared for farming use. Rivers have to be dammed for their water. Chemical pesticides and fertilizer run free throughout the land. And tractors emit CO2 – and that’s not including the truck that drives the food to the cities.

The end result is a punishing of the first world while letting the third celebrate environmental destruction. The Kyoto Accords (which the IPCC thinks should be mandated everywhere) lists giant polluters like China and India as “developing” meaning that they can spit out as much poison as they want to with impunity…and “modernizing” will compound the problem as their population gets bigger, requiring more food and so on and so forth.

But that’s not the only fix they have in store for us. I’m sure that another power they will see to give themselves is the power to silence those that disagree with them, their theory and their methods. We’re already seeing this – from Al Gore suggesting that the media not cover those who question global warming to various European countries considering laws against “Global Warming Deniers”. And they’re so full of their own self righteousness that they’ll continue to call their censorship free speech – the same way that Islamists insist laws against cartoons of their prophet are in the spirit of free speech.

But there is still more from the IPCC. They’re going to anoint themselves the judges of how resources can be used and by whom and how much – as if it’s theirs to assign. How arrogant is that?

It’s really nice of these guys to put together a study that concludes you should be in charge. It’s a lot like when that nice used car salesman puts together a study showing that I need to buy his car or when that nice businessman puts together a study showing that I need to invest in his idea. The only difference here is the arrogance being demonstrated and how stupid and blind the left is for falling for it.

And for my critics – did I say that we should pollute the planet? No, I didn’t. Did I say we should hunt all the creatures of the Earth to extinction? No, I didn’t. Did I say that would should put smoke in the air and pour chemicals into the rivers and oceans? No, I didn’t. Did I say we should throw our junk everywhere? No, I didn’t.

Lastly - Did I say Global Warming isn’t happening? No, I didn’t. I said there is no evidence of it because there isn’t.
