Liberty Reborn

31,072 what you ask? It’s just a number – a big glaring number. So you want to know what 31,072 represents right? Well, that is the number of degreed sicentists (educated people) who have signed a petition telling Al Gore he is full of hot air and renouncing his theory of man made global warming.

An incredible 31,072 Americans with university degrees in science, including 9,021 Ph.D.s, have signed a petition that flatly denies Al Gore’s claims that human-caused global warming is a settled scientific fact.

Gore calls scientists and others who question the reality of human-caused global warming “deniers” and claims they are a tiny minority among the scientific community who he insists almost universally agree that the planet is being threatened by the alleged warming of the earth.

Gore told CBS’ Leslie Stahl on “60 Minutes” recently, “I think those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now with their point of view. They’re almost like the ones who still believe that the moon landing was staged in a movie lot in Arizona and those who believe the world is flat.”

These 31,072 scientists do not believe the world is flat, and they say there is no convincing scientific evidence that so-called greenhouse gasses are causing catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the earth’s climate.

On Monday, Dr. Arthur Robinson of the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine, (OISM) announced the results of a drive asking scientists to sign a petition stating: “We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto Japan in December 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limit on greenhouse gasses would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.”

The petition went on to say, “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.”

Despite all his bluster, that is all Al Gore’s words and denunciations of people that will not join his church and preach his gospel has – bluster. Just lots and lots of painful, ear piercing bluster. Strip away all the ripped off computer generated scenes of arctic ice that isn’t and all that false claims and there is nothing but a stiff, although warm, breeze emanating from Al Gore.

He will still run around claiming a “consensus” for his theories however. The one thing he doesn’t tell you however is that the only “consensus” the Global Warming is among those that believe there is a “consensus”. It is there “consensus” that there is a “consensus”.

Al Gore, call your office! The non-believers are on the march! What ever will you do?
