Global warming profiteers
are wrong

Climate alarmists are alarmed, scaremongers scared,
for their predictions of catastrophe are not coming true. "Global
warming" has stopped. For 10 years, average temperatures
on earth have not risen. For seven years, the trend has been downward.
The fall between January 2007 and January 2008 was the biggest
since records began in 1880.
Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN's climate panel, says it
had better find out where it got its sums wrong. Lord Lawson,
a former UK Treasury Secretary, says the panel should be scrapped.
Polls reveal that voters worldwide, bored with wolf-crying scientists,
see "global warming" as just another pretext for more
tax, regulation and empire-building. So the tiny clique of politicized
scientists driving the scare are desperate to revive fear of doom.
Otherwise, the multibillion-dollar climate-change industry is
headed straight down the pan.

A favorite tactic is to blame any passing extreme-weather event
on "global warming." This just in: "A 5,282-square-mile
ice shelf has begun to collapse because of rapid climate change
in the Antarctic Peninsula. The Wilkins is one of a string of
ice shelves that have collapsed in the past 30 years. Larsen B
disappeared in one month in 2002. Six similar collapses underscore
the region's unprecedented warming."
Blood-curdling, but false. The Wilkins Ice Shelf, like its vanished
neighbors, was not there in the medieval warm period, or in the
2,000-year-long Holocene Climate Optimum, when global temperatures
were above today's.
Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center, who first
spotted the disintegration in March, says the Wilkins has been
in place for a few centuries. So it was not there before.
The Antarctic Peninsula represents just 2 percent of the continent,
and still less of its ice mass. The vanished ice shelves covered
a combined area just 1/55 the size of Texas. Massive chunks break
away from Antarctica all the time, to re-grow in colder times.
Whalers' logs going back centuries report sightings of vast icebergs
hundreds of miles long.
