A great idea: global warming reparations

Al Gore's highly political scare campaign on so-called global warming is increasingly seen as a hoax by reputable scientists, who actually collect the data and research what is really happening.

What is really happening is that the earth appears to be entering a period of global cooling, and the last thing we need to be worrying about is globall warming. While there is minor ice melting at the northpole, at the southpole, there is record ice buildup and more on the way.

Even if all the ice melted in the northpole, and that is considered by most scientists to be highly unlikely, seaports on the east coast might see as much as an 8-inch-higher ocean, not the 20 feet told of by Al Gore in his flick, An Inconvient Truth. The ocean adjusts and rises very slowly, and the likelihood of a dramatic flooding of seaports is nil. Evaporation of the ocean increases as it warms, and chances are very good it would not rise at all.

University of Denver scientist Fred Ebert, who has a radio show called Stump the Professor, explained all this this morning. He went on to say that in professional scientific circles he functions in, about 75% of scientists now have doubts about global warming. Having listened to Ebert for several years now, I would characterize him as a liberal Republican--but an honest scientist.

One caller today had a brilliant idea: pay reparations to all those who have suffered at the hands of the global warming hoax.

For his part, Al Gore refuses to debate global warming, or appear on the same stage with doubters. He and his environmentalist cronies perpetuate the hoax that global warming is established scientific fact--when in reality, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Skeptics abound, and are growing in number every day. The hoax is a socialist Robin Hood scheme to take from the rich (read: the United States of America) and give to the poor (the rest of the world). Unable to sell communism, socialism or any other ideology to level society, now global warming is the accepted tool.

But don't worry. As it becomes less and less tenable, a new strategy will emerge. You can count on it.
