This article about Ian Plimer (one of Australia's top academics) is dedicated to all my green environmentalist readers who are still in the dark about the scam that is anthropogenic global warming a/k/a/ man-made climate change to fatten former Vice President Al Gore's and Generation Investment Management's (GIM) fat pockets.
My commentary on the article is below. Click this Vancouver Sun link if you want to read the article without my commentary.
I agree 100%. Living in a large metropolitan area like Los Angeles, the green movement has become a religion onto itself. Unfortunately, the major corporations have hijacked the green movement and turned into another way to make profit.
Instead of people protesting GMO foods, the contamination of our waters with heavy metals and the chemtrail sky spraying, the green movement focuses on the wrong issues such as your carbon footprint or the polar bears drowning. Or they'll lobby Congress to pass laws replacing all light bulbs with energy efficient ones, that many times are filled with mercury.
The irony is seeing a person scold someone for throwing an aluminum can in the trash and in the next instance, that person is eating some GMO food while drinking an aspartame filled soda.
You bet it is. Al Gore stands to make money from GIM when the cap and trade system goes online. Even former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson is rumored to have an interest in the GIM's founding though there is no mention of him on the official site.
Yes, the corporate green movement only looks at 20-30 years of data on a regular day and if they are really trying to be impressive, they might decide to go back a 100 years. A 100 years is a flash in a pan when taken in comparison with the age of this planet, no matter what theory of planetary creation you believe. Most of the data supporting man-made climate change is statistically insignificant when taken in context with the planet's age in years.
This may be the most important point in the article. Carbon dioxide is not pollution. Plants need it to grow. Animals need plants for food and to create oxygen. If there is no carbon dioxide, then there is no oxygen. If there is no oxygen, then there is no more.
Can you say CON? Straight decepticon!

But most of these scientific and academic voices have fallen silent in the face of environmental Jacobinism. Purging humankind of its supposed sins of environmental degradation has become a religion with a fanatical and often intolerant priesthood, especially among the First World urban elites.

Plimer presents the proposition that anthropogenic global warming is little more than a con trick on the public perpetrated by fundamentalist environmentalists and callously adopted by politicians and government officials who love nothing more than an issue that causes public anxiety.
You bet it is. Al Gore stands to make money from GIM when the cap and trade system goes online. Even former Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson is rumored to have an interest in the GIM's founding though there is no mention of him on the official site.
While environmentalists for the most part draw their conclusions based on climate information gathered in the last few hundred years, geologists, Plimer says, have a time frame stretching back many thousands of millions of years.

Polar ice, for example, has been present on the Earth for less than 20 per cent of geological time, Plimer writes. Plus, animal extinctions are an entirely normal part of the Earth's evolution...
Plimer gets especially upset about carbon dioxide, its role in Earth's daily life and the supposed effects on climate of human manufacture of the gas. He says atmospheric carbon dioxide is now at the lowest levels it has been for 500 million years, and that atmospheric carbon dioxide is only 0.001 per cent of the total amount of the chemical held in the oceans, surface rocks, soils and various life forms. Indeed, Plimer says carbon dioxide is not a pollutant, but a plant food. Plants eat carbon dioxide and excrete oxygen. Human activity, he says, contributes only the tiniest fraction to even the atmospheric presence of carbon dioxide.
