October 2008
THE ENVIRONMENTAL RELIGION
The global warming scam is the result of the widespread belief in a new
religion, based on the deification of a nebulous entity, "The
Environment".
'"The Environment" is an extension of the concept of "Nature* which was
held sacred by the Romantics, but it is a much more demanding deity,
requiring constant and increasing sacrifices from humans.
Environmentalism is just the latest attempt to find a substitute for the
theory of evolution and it is paradoxical that it can be so widespread
when next year (2009) is the 200th birthday of Charles Darwin and the
150th anniversary of the publication of his major work "The Origin of
Species as the Result of Natural Selection".
All of the basic beliefs of Environmentalism are in direct conflict with
contemporary understanding of the principles of Darwinism. Despite this
fact, many scientists are supporters of Environmentalist dogmas and some
are prepared to claim that they are compatible with Darwinism.
HUMANS ARE DESTROYING THE PLANET
The religious belief (from Genesis Chapter 1, verse 20) that humans have
"dominion" over the earth is now extended so that humans take over the
function of God and are responsible for all other creatures. Human
influence is purely negative and destructive. The other creatures would
be better off without us. We are destroying the planet. As this
proposition is absurd, desperate attempts must be made to find evidence
to support it.
Campaigns have been conducted against the human use of chemical
pesticides ("Silent Spring"), of "Depletion" of "Resources" ("Club of
Rome"), and against the "Population Bomb" (Ehrlich) and even against
plastic bags and baby>s bottles.
The latest and most successful campaign is the claim that the earth is
being dangerously warmed by human emissions of greenhouse gases. The
widespread restrictions on "emissions" that have followed have led to
the collapse of the world energy industry, with soaring prices of oil
and electric power and deliberate promotion of world poverty by the use
of agriculture to produce "biofuels" instead of food.
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
A greenhouse enables higher temperatures within it because it prevents
release of the rising warmer air caused by solar radiation.
This is quite different from the claimed "greenhouse effect"; the
absorption of infra red radiation from the earth by some of the
components of the earth>s atmosphere, called "greenhouse gases". This
absorption heats the atmosphere and causes "global warming". The whole
question is, by how much, and does it matter?
The claim that human emissions of greenhouse gases are dangerously
warming the earth was first made by the Swedish chemist Arrhenius (1865
and see Wikipedia 2008). The claim was criticised at the time, and as
global temperatures fell for the subsequent 15 years, followed by the
First World War and an economic crisis, the claim lost urgency.
It was, however, revived in 1938 by Callendar who selected atmospheric
carbon dioxide results to suit his theory from the many available. He
suffered a similar fate to Arrhenius, since global temperatures fell for
the following 38 years.
During this period confident predictions were made of the coming ice
age, some by the same scientists (such as Rasool and Schneider 1971) now
predicting future warming.
RECENT REVIVAL
Since temperatures seemed to be rising once again, the claim that
human-emitted greenhouse gases are warming the earth was taken up by the
environmental movement in the late 1970s as yet another example of their
belief that humans are harming the earth.
In order to prove this proposition they were faced with three insoluble
problems.
.. It is not possible to measure the average temperature of the earth>s
surface. To do so would involve placing thermometers or other measuring
equipment in a random and representative fashion over all parts of the
surface, including the 71% that is ocean. Since this is currently
impossible, it is equally impossible to find if the average temperature
is increasing.
.. It is not possible to measure the average greenhouse gas concentration
over all parts of the earth>s atmosphere by placing measuring equipment
randomly throughout.
.. Since weather cannot be predicted reliably more than a week or so
ahead, it is impossible to provide reliable forecasts any further ahead
than this.
None of these problems has been solved, but environmentalists have
succeeded in persuading many people that they have provided
scientifically acceptable

"In scientific circles, C02 is referred to as a `trace gas' that, for
hundreds of thousands of years, has remained at or below five
ten-thousandths of the atmosphere by volume. Even among the so-called
`greenhouse gases' (GHG), C02 accounts for less than 4%, with water
vapour being by far the most significant GHG. C02 is clearly a
miniscule component of the massive mechanisms that create climate and
cause climate change."

This post flunks history. If you want the facts,
then try these well written histories.

Nope! This article is not even close to the facts.
Bonzo>s posts rarely connect with the facts.
The greenhouse gas hypothesis was first stated
by Fourier in 1824. It was a well developed theory
by the time Arrhenius wrote his famous paper in
1896. For a vastly more accurate description of
the history of the greenhouse gas theory please see:

Except, no doubt, within the COTTAGE INDUSTRIES formed around the
bogus Gore "crisis," we aren>t hearing much about GW, are we? Maybe
the global financial crisis seems more real. |

Nonsense, proven and a fact, so go f ck yourself in the toilet, you dumbass.
global warming is a F A C T.
Besides, the freemarket religion (hermes) is way more dangerous. |
