The Skeptical Environmentalist on Global warming

I can't resist, I have to wade in on this discussion.

People are forgetting their history at an alarming rate. It was not even 60 years ago that periods of global warming and global cooling were being taught to school children as completely normal in the cycles of our planet.

Even in children's history books, it was being taught that at certain period during the middle ages, dwellings were not constructed with chimneys as the temperature for the period was on average 2-3 degrees warming that present day!

More recently, a book called "Limits to growth" was published in the '60s by a group called "The Club of Rome" which gave a hellish prediction of what our planet would be like if we continued with our ways.

They followed this book up with another one called "The First Global Revolution"
published almost 20 years later. In this book you will find this quote:
"In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill."

I included a link to the members page of this organisation, and if you're really interested in global warming you need to challenge your conceptions, look into who is and was members of this global think thank.

They pulled that same stunts back in the 70's accept it was well documented and backed science that we were on the verge of a new ice age. I wonder have same authors written about global warming too? check out this article from Time magazine in 1974

Here is a little quip from the bbc about the Kyoto protocol being drafted up. It makes for interesting reading.

What aroused my suspicion to this farce called global warming was this little gem from the United Nations own site, its a treaty which was signed in 1978.

Its a must read. To my mind, in order to have such a treaty in place, the technology must have been perfected and used by the involved parties - otherwise, why would an enemy nation show your technology which you are developing??

A side note on this is that it only states that it cannot be used on other nations. It does not say anything about using it on the people of their own country.

Every extreme weather pattern we are experiencing today due to "Global Warming" can be created by the technology mentioned in this treaty and what is more frightening is that this is old outdated technology is comparison to what I'd imagine is around today (taking Moore law into consideration)

This business of Global Warming is exactly that - a business, where one can earn obscene amounts of money if you know what to push on the public.

If you find yourself having trouble taking this information in, then you have already closed your mind. This is not up for belief. It is fact and it is big business.

Once last thought, coming out of an ice age, we have whats known as a "period of warming", and going into a ice age we have whats know as a "period of cooling". Cool - Warm - Cool - Warm etc.. seems quite natural to me.

From the UN link above:

Understanding relating to Article II

It is the understanding of the Committee that the following examples are illustrative of phenomena that could be caused by the use of environmental modification techniques as defined in Article II of the Convention: earthquakes, tsunamis; an upset in the ecological balance of a region; changes in weather patterns (clouds, precipitation, cyclones of various types and tornadic storms); changes in climate patterns; changes in ocean currents; changes in the state of the ozone layer; and changes in the state of the ionosphere.

Article 2 defines environmental modification techniques as:

any technique for changing -- through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes -- the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, or of outer space.
