Subject: Man Made Global warming A UN fraud.
World's Top Scientists 'Manmade Warming' Is A Dangerous Lie
12-15-7
Man made global warming is a dangerous con.
The fact that TV news programs repeatedly show steam-cooling-
water-recovery-collection-towers deceptively to represent CO2 emissions
should be sufficient evidence for even the most dumbed- down individual to see
that somebody is desperate to con somebody.
Today's big question is: are our "leaders" being conned, or are they part of
the con?

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon at the UN climate conference in Bali.
Open Letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations
Dec. 13, 2007
His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary-General, United Nations
New York, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Secretary-General,
Re: UN climate conference taking the World in entirely the wrong direction
It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has
affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and
written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges posed to past societies
from unanticipated changes in temperature, precipitation, winds and other
climatic variables. We therefore need to equip nations to become resilient to
the full range of these natural phenomena by promoting economic growth and
wealth generation.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has
issued increasingly alarming conclusions about the climatic influences of
human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2), a non-polluting gas that is essential to
plant photosynthesis. While we understand the evidence that has led them to
view CO2 emissions as harmful, the IPCC's conclusions are quite inadequate as
justification for implementing policies that will markedly diminish future
prosperity. In particular, it is not established that it is possible to
significantly alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas
emissions. On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow
development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase
human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it.
The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports
amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate
change policy formulation. Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively
small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by
government representatives. The great majority of IPCC contributors and
reviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to
comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these
documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a
consensus view among experts.
Contrary to the impression left by the IPCC Summary reports:
z Recent observations of phenomena such as glacial retreats, sea- level rise
and the migration of temperature-sensitive species are not evidence for
abnormal climate change, for none of these changes has been shown to lie
outside the bounds of known natural variability.
z The average rate of warming of 0.1 to 0. 2 degrees Celsius per decade
recorded by satellites during the late 20th century falls within known natural
rates of warming and cooling over the last 10,000 years.
z Leading scientists, including some senior IPCC representatives, acknowledge
that today's computer models cannot predict climate. Consistent with this, and
despite computer projections of temperature rises, there has been no net global
warming since 1998. That the current temperature plateau follows a late
20th-century period of warming is consistent with the continuation today of
natural multi-decadal or millennial climate cycling.
In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate
change is "settled," significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more
doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming. But because
IPCC working groups were generally instructed (see
http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/ wg1_timetable_2006-08-14.pdf) to consider
work published only through May, 2005, these important findings are not
included in their reports; i.e., the IPCC assessment reports are already
materially outdated.
The UN climate conference in Bali has been planned to take the world along a
path of severe CO2 restrictions, ignoring the lessons apparent from the failure
of the Kyoto Protocol, the chaotic nature of the European CO2 trading market,
and the ineffectiveness of other costly initiatives to curb greenhouse gas
emissions. Balanced cost/benefit analyses provide no support for the
introduction of global measures to cap and reduce energy consumption for the
purpose of restricting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it is irrational to apply
the "precautionary principle" because many scientists recognize that both
climatic coolings and warmings are realistic possibilities over the medium-term
future.
The current UN focus on "fighting climate change," as illustrated in the Nov.
27 UN Development Programme's Human Development Report, is distracting
governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes,
whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such
changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt
to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from
occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of
resources that would be better spent on humanity's real and pressing problems.
Yours faithfully,
