Chris Wallace: ClimateGate an Example of How Global Warming Has Become a Religion

By Bob Ellis on December 10th, 2009

ScreenPrint_171Don Imus and Chris Wallace from Fox News have a chat in this video about the farce going on in Copenhagen right now to fight an imaginary problem that doesn’t exist and how silly the whole thing is.

Imus points out that President Barack Obama is flying all over the world leaving a “Sasquatch-like carbon footprint” as he goes, as are all the others using those 1,200 limos and 140 private planes.

Wallace says in this video that he’s not sure whether the theory of anthropogenic global warming is just a bunch of hot air, but he indicates the AGW-apostles act like they believe in a religion and employ religious-like techniques (in the worst sense of the term) to quash dissent.

For instance, calling people who aren’t buying their silly theory “deniers,” as if there was something solid, established and incontrovertible which had to be “denied”–and this lame idea most certainly isn’t solid or established.

If anything, it should be Al Gore and his merry bunch of faerie tale believers who should be called “deniers” for denying the mountain of obvious, common-sense evidence which points to solar activity and natural, cyclic climate change which we know beyond a shadow of a doubt has been going on for thousands of years without any help from human industrial activity.

Amazingly, even after having the fraud of the “science” behind this hypothesis glaringly revealed in ClimateGate, many of these faithful Koolaid-drinkers are continuing to gulp as fast as they can.  (Still I know some are starting to question the elitist orthodoxy that has helped perpetuate this nonsense; I’m hearing from them).

Every religion requires a certain amount of faith for belief, since every religion contains at least some claims which cannot be empirically verified.  But in order to believe the religion of  anthropogenic global warming, adherents put believers in most of the traditional religions of the world to shame.

In order to believe in AGW, you have to stand in the face of history and some rather elementary science while shaking your fist in animosity.

I’ve never been much of a fan of the liberal distortion known as “separation of church and state,” but with the religion of AGW bringing its values to the table in an attempt to justify running roughshod over the U.S. Constitution and national sovereignty, maybe I need to rethink that.

    I am also a skeptic of AGW, and the religious attitudes of its proponents definitely give me the heebee-geebees.

    AGW has all the terrific [from Latin terrificus - "to frighten"] elements of religion.

    Those elements include: a possible - but unlikely - salvation, unending guilt, self-rightious blame, high-pitched fervor, predictions of an apocalypse, mindless conformity to the party line, the marginalizing of heretics, and last but not lease, a refusal to question the postulates of "The Faith." Indeed, The Faithful dare not use (or allow others to use) the word "postulates." The faithful (as well as the rest of us) must always use the word "Facts." AGW is an incontrovertible "Fact."

    Very scary.

    While they are in Copenhagen they should check out the museum!

    Can’t hide the medieval warming period.
    It was much, much warmer during the medieval warming period than it is today.

    This is not so complicated

    There are Vikings that were buried (interred) in the permafrost in Greenland.
    The permafrost was not disturbed since it froze.
    It was not frozen when they were buried.
    I would call that warmer then today, a lot warmer.

    This was hundreds of years before the Industrial Revolution. They tried to hide this.

    The ironic thing is that this evidence of the medieval warming period is in a museum in Copenhagen.

    Also, the medieval warming period was global.

    Did you see what the UN served up to the children of the world?

    There are others.
    This really makes me angry.
  • What a joke! I hate to say it, but animals aren't nearly as stupid as some of us are, to fall for this junk. We're the ones who are thinking choking ourselves with burdensome environmental regulations...for a nutty idea that doesn't even pass the smell-test of credibility.

    As I have stated, I m a skeptic of AGW. You state that solar activity and other natural climactic changes explain the global warming and cooling cycles of the past( I agree), when man wasn't a culprit, and strongly imply that ONLY those same forces are responsible today. But we do know that man is dumping tons of CO2 in the atmoshere that he didn't dump in during the other cycles in the past. How do you know, 100%, that it isn't at least an additive factor ? If you think well it could be an additive factoer but is playing a very small part, then by what method can you use to determine just how small that part represents ?
  • Because even according to AGW-worshippers, man's contribution is a tiny percentage of the overall picture. The vast majority of greenhouse gases come from the ocean, volcanic activity and other natural sources. The data also shows that over the course of the past several hundred years, temperature rises come before CO2 rises--right the reverse of what the AGW-worshippers claim. And when you consider there have been multiple periods in the past when the earth has been warmer--without human industrial contribution, I might add--the possibility that our activity could have a significant effect on global temperatures is laughable.

    The overwhelming weight of historical and scientific data points to natural, cyclic change. If Al Gore and his cronies want to contend otherwise, they're welcome to, but the burden of proof is on them--and they haven't even come close to tilting the scales for their hypothesis.
