Mike Thomas wrote a commentary in the Orlando Sentinel yesterday ”Science of global warming doesn’t support the hype” (see below). About how he ”I have gone from being a believer to being a global-warming agnostic. I think we are having some impact but am not convinced how much of one.”
And he wrote: ”Those who dispute this are one of the following: dumb, misinformed, skeptics, members of the flat-earth society, members of the Cato Institute or paid off by Exxon.
And the beauty of this juggernaut is that it has inoculated itself against dissent by labeling, in advance, any dissenters as deniers.
True believers must buy into the apocalypse. Every day seems to bring yet another doomsday scenario for penguins, polar bears and Miami Beach condo dwellers.
Deniers are a threat to our very survival. Even worse, they are a threat to the careers (and funding) of countless researchers, as well as an entire industrial complex that is about to make global warming a trillion-dollar business.”
And the response from the Global Warming Hysterics? The usual hatred and slander (see below):
”My column questioning the zeal of global-warming advocates noted that they innoculate themselves against dissent by attacking the dissenters as dimwitted deniers. True to form, many of those attacking the column accused me of everything from being a Bush stooge to pandering for web clicks to pandering for a job. It’s impossible, it seems, for anyone to even suggest we keep an open mind on this theory without being a fool or having evil intent.
They are, in effect, proving one of the main points I was trying to make.
Climate change has gone from being a science to being two competing political movements. This does not bode well for getting at the truth behind our impact on global warming.”
The Global Warming Hysterics are such a scientific people dedicated to the search of facts and truth. And so full of intellectual curiosity, understanding and human compassion are they not!

COMMENTARY
Science of global warming doesn’t support the hype
Mike Thomas | February 10, 2009
Did last week have anyone questioning global warming?
Think how people in Chicago feel. They’re going through the coldest winter in a quarter-century, and the ninth-coldest of all time.
Of course, none of this contradicts the theory that we are turning Planet Earth into a convection oven.
It goes something like this: If the planet is warm, it is because of global warming. If the planet is cold, it is in spite of global warming.
I’ve noticed this dynamic in play for quite some time. Whenever the weather smacks us around, be it a Midwest flood, a Florida drought, a New Orleans hurricane or a California wildfire, it is blamed on Hummers.
Those who dispute this are one of the following: dumb, misinformed, skeptics, members of the flat-earth society, members of the Cato Institute or paid off by Exxon.
And the beauty of this juggernaut is that it has inoculated itself against dissent by labeling, in advance, any dissenters as deniers.
True believers must buy into the apocalypse. Every day seems to bring yet another doomsday scenario for penguins, polar bears and Miami Beach condo dwellers.
Deniers are a threat to our very survival. Even worse, they are a threat to the careers (and funding) of countless researchers, as well as an entire industrial complex that is about to make global warming a trillion-dollar business.
The science of global warming has arrived at a conclusion, which all data must now accommodate.
Unfortunately, it sometimes does not.
You may recall that in his movie, An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore noted nine of the 10 hottest recorded years have occurred since 1995. That’s what the NASA data showed until a blogger crunched the agency’s data and found out it made a mistake.
In fact, six of the 10 hottest years came before 1954, with the 1930s being particularly toasty. Ever hear of the Dust Bowl?
There has been much alarm about Greenland melting and drowning Florida. Feeding this are images of rapidly melting glaciers. They were melting quickly between 2000 and 2005. But since then the melting has slowed to what is considered a normal level.
Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory discovered that the rate of warming in Greenland between 1920 and 1930 was 50 percent higher than today. And the glaciers were smaller.
Ice cores taken from a Russian research site in the Antarctic reveal that when you go back in time, the theory of global warming seems to put the cart before the horse. We are told that greenhouse gases build up and cause temperatures to rise.
But an analysis of the ice cores shows the temperature goes up first, followed by an increase in greenhouse gases. The heat is triggered by other natural phenomenon, such as solar radiation. This heats up the ocean, which releases carbon dioxide.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere right now actually is downright paltry compared with what it has been during Earth’s history.
I could go on and on. Most all scientists agree the world has gotten warmer.
But many distinguished scientists think the evidence blaming humans is either bogus, incomplete or not overwhelming enough to think we are a significant part of a problem.
I have gone from being a believer to being a global-warming agnostic. I think we are having some impact but am not convinced how much of one. I remain receptive to arguments from both sides.
Global warming is a science in which imperfect data are plugged into imperfect models by too many scientists looking for the same conclusion.
By all means, let’s limit our use of fossil fuels and move toward being a conservation-conscious society.
I just have qualms about damning the cost and going full speed ahead. Too many people can’t afford that. If things are as dire as many predict, we are doomed regardless. It could well be that our money might be better spent on other ventures to save humanity.
And his comment here about the attacks:
And now I am one of the evil ”deniers!”
