The UN sponsored IPCC has been remarkably successful in panicking the world over the theory than man is causing global warming by using carbon-based fuels emitting CO2.  This has resulted in the Kyoto protocols which 170 countries have signed, committing them to mandatory CO2 reductions, or be subject to massive fines.  Of the 37 signatories who are obliged to reduce CO2 emissions under Kyoto, only Germany and the UK have complied.  And, Japan, Spain and Italy are being fined 33 billion dollars. And no one thinks Kyoto will have any significant effect on world temperatures.

There are well known scientists who have resigned from the IPCC because of the politicization of science and many other climate scientists who refused to join the IPCC because of its bias.  The majority of climate scientists say there is no consensus that the world is warming out of line with past climate variations, there has been no warming since 1998, virtually all the alarmist propaganda from the IPCC is incorrect, and the concentration of CO2 has absolutely nothing to do with variations of the world's temperature, and in fact, it follows temperature changes and does not control it. 

Supposedly we can control the climate by reducing man's emissions of CO2.  What arrogance, what hubris, and anyone who dares point out facts to the contrary is put down as a fool, loses his research funding, is called a "denier", and some even advocate Nuremberg like trials, I suppose leading to the execution of wrong thinkers.   Suppressing Science is a totalitarian tactic which George Orwell would well understand.  This is beneath contempt.

Now, the man-on-the-street is sure to ask: "why did you buy this Kyoto stuff -- you plan to punish everyone using energy by raising costs, you will raise my taxes by thousands to fund the carbon trading and raise petrol and energy costs tremendously.  This will be passed on in everything I buy, and then to send my money to some developing country so they can plant a few trees.  Then you tell me that its because some UN sponsored group of thousands who go to 5 star hotels all over the world have decided this?  They make predictions about horrible hurricane seasons which do not happen, predict the hottest year is coming and it does not happen either.  All this in order to prevent the temperature from going up by 2 degrees in a hundred years from now, and they can't tell me what will happen in 12 months in the future -- and they actually want me to believe it?  And why is this so bad?  The temperature went up 1 degree in the 20th century and we accommodated it, so why can't we do the same in the 21st century?  And besides considering the world has not warmed since 1998, how can their predictions possibly be valid. 

The fact that these people on the IPCC, the press, and Monbiot are arrogant and blind, don't have sound science on their side, suppress science and free speech, and are pursuing an agenda which put billions, if not hundreds of billions, in the same hands as those who  gave us "Oil for Food" is astonishing.

Are you all stark raving mad? 

The answer is "just live with warming, if it even happens, because it is impossible to reduce our use of fossil fuels, even in a time window of twenty years."  The remedies of 80% or 100% CO2 reductions are impossible without causing a worldwide depression, is that what we want to leave to posterity?
