2005 Nobel Prize in Medicine
“Against prevailing dogmas, you discovered that one of the most common and important diseases of mankind, peptic ulcer disease, is caused by a bacterial infection of the stomach.”

Where is the evidence?
There is no satisfactory logicand evidence linking human
emissions of carbon dioxide with a significant warming
of our climate.

Cosmic Rays and the Cloud Mystery
Henrik Svensmark, PhDDirector of the Center for Sun-Climate ResearchDanish Space Research Institute (DSRI)
"During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds—and a warmer world."

What are the important issues?
Catastrophe and the survival of man and the planet? A profound ignorance of science and how it works? Was there a 0.5 to 1.0 C warming over the 20th century? Is carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas? What warming is expected for a doubling of CO2? Warming since 1977 and no warming since 1998? Are we qualified to talk about Global Warming? Do we work for the oil companies?
Corrupting the evidence
The Gold Standard for Global Temperature
The 'Urban Heat Island' effect is real
(A) Large Counties: More than 1 million peopleAverage 29 stations
(B) Midsized Counties: 100,000 to 1 million peopleAverage 51 stations
(C) Small Counties: Less than 100,000 peopleAverage 27 stations
Temperature Trends at 107 Stations in California from 1909 to 1994
Stratified by 1990 population of the county

The Infamous 'Hockey Stick' Graph from Michael Mann(MANN-made Global Warming)
Discredited by Wegman Report to National Academy of Sciences
Media claim: “New studies indicate that temperatures in recent decades are higher than at any time in the past 1000 years……with the 1990’s as the warmest decade and 1998 as the warmest year”
The Wegman Report cited serious errors by Michael Mann, but the UN IPCC continues to use it

Worldwide Record High Temperatureswere set long ago
Paris, France was hotter in the 1750's and 1830's than it is today
Prediction versus Reality: Missing Ocean HeatMan-made Global Warming hypothesis FAILS

The IPCC's understanding of Climatewas better years ago
Prediction versus Reality: Missing Hot SpotGreenhouse Computer Models Fail
UN Computer Simulations of Climate areComputer Games USELESS in Predicting the Future
Professor of Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, Gerhard Gerlich:
“To derive climate catastrophes from these computer games andto scare Mankind to death is a crime.”
“It cannot be overemphasized that even if the [fluid] equations are simplified considerably, one cannotdetermine numerical solutions, even for small space regions and even for small time intervals.This situation will not change in the next 1000 years regardless of progress made in computer hardware.As the extremely simplified one-fluid equations are unsolvable, the many-fluid equations would be moreunsolvable, the equations that include the averaged equations describing the turbulence would be yet moreunsolvable, if “unsolvable" had a comparative.”
“Hence, the computer simulations of global climatology are not based onphysical laws.”
Sunspots are Manifestations of Solar Magnetic Activity

Michael Crichton on Propaganda
“The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformationage) it takes on a special urgency and importance”

What do the Best and the Brightest say aboutGlobal Warming?
“The need to courageously resist hysteria is clear.”
““Two things are infinite: the Two things are infinite: the universe and human universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” about the universe.” Albert Albert
