Obama Cap & Trade on BOGUS Climate Claims
Greenpeace Founder Debunks Global Climate Change
President Obama has now declared that the global warming is “fact” in his January 28, 2014 State of the Union. His administration has attempted to argue that the recent U.S. cold snap was duly influenced by a warmer planet. If Obama believes Rahm Emmanuel's quote from Sir Winston Churchill, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste," is this another timed attempt to get a 'Cap and Trade' tax bill through congress again? Hmn... Where's Al Gore?
Greenpeace co-founder Patrick Moore’s testimony to a U.S. Senate committee come after Obama's comments. Moore argued that the current argument that the burning of fossil fuels is driving global warming over the past century lacks scientific evidence. He added that the Earth is in an unusually cold period and some warming would be a good thing.
“There is no scientific proof that human emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the dominant cause of the minor warming of the Earth’s atmosphere over the past 100 years,” according to Moore’s testimony. “Today, we live in an unusually cold period in the history of life on earth and there is no reason to believe that a warmer climate would be anything but beneficial for humans and the majority of other species.”
“It is important to recognize, in the face of dire predictions about a [two degrees Celsius] rise in global average temperature, that humans are a tropical species,” Moore said. “We evolved at the equator in a climate where freezing weather did not exist. The only reasons we can survive these cold climates are fire, clothing, and housing.”
“It could be said that frost and ice are the enemies of life, except for those relatively few species that have evolved to adapt to freezing temperatures during this Pleistocene Ice Age,” he added. “It is ‘extremely likely’ that a warmer temperature than today’s would be far better than a cooler one.”
“The fact that we had both higher temperatures and an ice age at a time when CO2 emissions were 10 times higher than they are today fundamentally contradicts the certainty that human-caused CO2 emissions are the main cause of global warming,” Moore said.
I really cannot add anything more to his scientific analysis. But I do know as taxpayers and citizens in the United States, we cannot be duped into the "carbon footprint,' our own personal consumption quantity, in order to levy Federal tax on our energy consumption for cars, houses and products we own. Its with no valid scientific basis they can make these claims!
