Al Gore, call your office...

... then call your sycophantic fellow cultists (they know who they are)... your global warming scam is unraveling:

The American Physical Society, an organization representing nearly 50,000 physicists, has reversed its stance on climate change and is now proclaiming that many of its members disbelieve in human-induced global warming.  The APS is also sponsoring public debate on the validity of global warming science. The leadership of the society had previously called the evidence for global warming "incontrovertible."

In a posting to the APS forum, editor Jeffrey Marque explains,"There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution."

The APS is opening its debate with the publication of a paper by Lord Monckton of Brenchley, which concludes that climate sensitivity -- the rate of temperature change a given amount of greenhouse gas will cause -- has been grossly overstated by IPCC modeling.   A low sensitivity implies additional atmospheric CO2 will have little effect on global climate.

...

In an email to DailyTech, Monckton says, "I was dismayed to discover that the IPCC's 2001 and 2007 reports did not devote chapters to the central 'climate sensitivity' question, and did not explain in proper, systematic detail the methods by which they evaluated it. When I began to investigate, it seemed that the IPCC was deliberately concealing and obscuring its method." 

According to Monckton, there is substantial support for his results, "in the peer-reviewed literature, most articles on climate sensitivity conclude, as I have done, that climate sensitivity must be harmlessly low."

Monckton, who was the science advisor to Britain's Thatcher administration, says natural variability is the cause of most of the Earth's recent warming.   "In the past 70 years the Sun was more active than at almost any other time in the past 11,400 years ... Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto warmed at the same time as Earth."

Every time I see the latest ruminations of the scientific left concerning global warming and supposed climate change, I immediately see the non sequitur arguments that they attempt to represent as indisputable fact.

Every reasonable climatologist not owing his livelihood to some leftist research group or similar grant subsidizing his/her living, has long since acknowledged that 'climate change' is a naturally occurring cyclic event and that man has minute to no effect on global weather patterns period.

Those who study the sun and it's effects on the weather of earth have been pointing this out now, for at least the last ten years that I know of. But the Chicken Little's of angst science remain the media darlings of leftist shock journalism.

Global warming isn't a science, it's a cult. and it's a cult with the specific goal of injuring and destroying western capitalism. End of story.

Rick,

Michelle Malkin, via Americans for Prosperity, has a great video of Gore’s hypocrisy on full display regarding him using a fleet of limos & a SUV for a global warming speech in D.C.
