Silencing the skeptics

The impact of climategate on the credibility of some key global warming alarmists was significant. Now comes the backlash. And no, it doesn't involve a scientific argument.

At CO2 Insanity, John O’Sullivan writes:

Beleaguered global warming religionist, Michael Mann has signed up a Canadian libel law firm that has ties to the ultra-green David Suzuki Foundation (DSF). Skeptics fear DSF and other warmist groups are gearing up for reprisals against skeptic scientists who have helped derail the global warming tax raising juggernaut.

Internationally renowned climate scientist, Dr. Tim Ball and prominent U.S. skeptic Chris Horner appear to be the first victims of a coordinated attack by discredited ‘hockey stick’ graph conjurer, Michael Mann.

Top 10 'Global-Warming' Myths

Christopher C. Horner, author of "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism" has compiled a very useful list.

Kyoto’s Future

A report from Christopher C. Horner, Esq. called Kyoto’s Future, Post-Nairobi and Going Forward in 2007 is subtitled: How a post-2012 Kyoto pact is impeded not by U.S. Actions, but the failure of Europe and other Kyoto Parties to reduce emissions, and continued rejection of rationing by the vast majority of the world.

An exerpt from the report's conclusions:

...since Kyoto the U.S. has outperformed the pact’s major parties – both covered and exempt – in terms of CO2 emissions. The disparity is even more exaggerated over the past five years for which data are available (2000-2004). As such, any claim that, now, it is the U.S.’s turn to do what the rest of the world is purportedly doing can only be a call to abandon our embarrassing position as a world leader in favor of a failed scheme.

Global Warming Equals Socialism

Philip V. Brennan has an article today at Newsmax in which he quotes from a new book, "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming":

...author Christopher C. Horner explains why, although Al Gore and his cronies among the media elites and U.N. globalists endlessly bleat that "global warming" is an unprecedented global crisis, they really think of it as a dream come true.

"Global warming is the ideal scare campaign for those who are doing all they can to secure strict control over society, business, and the minutest details of individual life." As Horner explains, "if global warming really were as bad as the Leftist doomsayers insist it is, then no policy imaginable could 'solve' it . . . no matter how much we sacrifice there would still be more to do. That makes global warming the bottomless well of excuses for the relentless growth of Big Government."
