There is No Global Warming
"There is no global warming. Period."
"You can't find a real scientist anywhere in the world who can look you in the eye and, without hesitation, without clarification, without saying, kinda, mighta, sorta, if, and or but...say 'yes, global warming is with us.'"
"There is no evidence whatsoever to support such claims. Anyone who tells you that scientific research shows warming trends - be they teachers, news casters, Congressmen, Senators, Vice Presidents or Presidents - is wrong. There is no global warming."

"How about the reports that the polar ice cap is melting?
Well, yes it is. In fact, it has been for about a million years or so. We are at the end of the ice age in which ice covered most of North American and Northern Europe.
There's at least one environmentalist, named Al Gore, who is panicking over the possibility that we may soon lose Glacier National Park in Montana because the ice is melting.
One hates to tell him that we've already lost the glacier that used to cover the whole country.
Perhaps he'll want to start working for new regulations from the Interior Department to begin immediately restoring this lost historical environmental treasure. Re-establishing a sheet of ice covering the entire continent would certainly serve to stop mining, timber cutting and urban sprawl."
"The United Nations released a report at the end of 1996 saying Global Warming was a fact, yet before releasing the report two key paragraphs were deleted from the final draft.
Those two paragraphs, written by the scientists who did the actual scientific analysis said:
  1. "none of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed climate changes to increases in greenhouse gases."
  2. "no study to date has positively attributed all or part of the climate change to ...man-made causes."
"THE CLIMATE CHANGE PROTOCOL
"Those who have been fighting against the green agenda have been warning that modern-day environmentalism has nothing whatsoever to do with protecting the environment."
"Rather it is a political movement led by those who seek to control the world economies, dictate development and redistribute the world's wealth."
"They use the philosophical base of Karl Marx, the tactics of Adolph Hitler and the rhetoric of the Sierra Club."
"The American people have been assaulted from all directions by rabid environmentalists."
