Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board -
The Premiere Truck Driver Forum
PoliticsDo Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?
Just stumbled on this. Will be the "answer" for some and venom for others. Just the viewpoint of a guy who spends his life predicting the weather. Easy read for normal folks.
No PHD required.

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming... it is a SCAM.
Some misquided scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data back in the late 1990's to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental-extremism type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the "research" to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremist, notable politicians among them then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild "scientific" scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda.
Now their ridicules manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmental conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minutes documentary segment.
I do not oppose environmentalism. I do not oppose the political positions of either party.
However, Global Warming, i.e. Climate Change, is not about environmentalism or politics. It is not a religion. It is not something you "believe in." It is science; the science of meteorology. This is my field of life-long expertise. And I am telling you Global Warming is a nonevent, a manufactured crisis and a total scam. I say this knowing you probably won't believe me, a mere TV weatherman, challenging a Nobel Prize, Academy Award and Emmy Award winning former Vice President of United States. So be it.
I suspect you might like to say to me, "John, look the research that supports the case for global warming was done by research scientists; people with Ph.D's in Meteorology. They are employed by major universities and important research institutions. Their work has been reviewed by other scientists with Ph.D's. They have to know a lot more about it than you do. Come on, John, get with it. The experts say our pollution has created an strong and increasing greenhouse effect and a rapid, out of control global warming is underway that will sky rocket temperatures, destroy agriculture, melt the ice caps, flood the coastlines and end life as we know it. How can you dissent from this crisis? You must be a bit nutty.
Allow me, please, to explain how I think this all came about. Our universities have become somewhat isolated from the rest of us. There is a culture and attitudes and values and pressures on campus that are very different. I know this group well. My father was a Ph.D-University types. I was raised in the university culture. Any person who spends a decade at a university obtaining a Ph.D in Meteorology and become a research scientist, more likely than not, becomes a part of that single minded culture. They all look askance at the rest of us, certain of their superiority. They respect government and disrespect business, particularly big business. They are environmentalists above all else.
And, there is something else. These scientists know that if they do research and the results are in no way alarming, their research will gather dust on the shelf and their research careers will languish. But if they do research that sounds alarms, they will become well known and respected and receive scholarly awards and, very importantly, more research dollars will come flooding their way.
Remember the United Nations had formed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the late 1980's with the mission of accessing and countering manmade climate change. The UN had established this global bureaucracy on climate change. It had become the "world series" or "olympics" for Climatologists and Meteorologists and scientists in related fields. You had to strive to be accepted, invited to present and review papers and travel to international meetings of the committee. Otherwise you were a nobody in your field. So when these researchers did climate change studies in the late 90's they were eager to produce findings that would be important and be widely noticed and trigger more research funding. It was easy for them to manipulate the data to come up with the results they wanted to make headlines and at the same time drive their environmental agendas. Then their like-minded Ph.D colleagues reviewed their work and hastened to endorse it without question.
There were a few who didn't fit the mold. They did ask questions and raised objections. They did research with contradictory results. The environmental elitists berated them and brushed their studies aside.
I have learned since the Ice Age is coming scare in the 1970's to always be a skeptic about research. In the case of global warming, I didn't accept media accounts. Instead I read dozens of the scientific papers. I have talked with numerous scientists. I have studied. I have thought about it. I know I am correct when I assure you there is no run away climate change. The impact of humans on climate is not catastrophic. Our planet is not in peril. It is all a scam, the result of bad science.
I am not alone in this assessment. There are hundreds of other meteorologists, many of them Ph.D's, who are as certain as I am that this global warming frenzy is based on bad science and is not valid.
I am incensed by the incredible media glamour, the politically correct silliness and rude dismal of counter arguments by the high priest of Global Warming.
In time, a decade or two, the outrageous scam will be obvious. As the temperature rises, polar ice cap melting, coastal flooding and super storm pattern all fail to occur as predicted everyone will come to realize we have been duped.
The sky is not falling. And, natural cycles and drifts in climate are as much if not more responsible for any climate changes underway.
I strongly believe that the next twenty years are equally as likely to see a cooling trend as they are to see a warming trend.

I just put two and two together, I used to watch this guy growing up in Chicago.
Don't worry....
I have ALREADY posted the BLOG from this guy, and the LEFTIST Greenies have summarily dismissed it.
I posted the BLOG from my local weatherman (of 40 years) who says the same thing using facts and records going back 118 years in Michigan, and the LEFTIST Greenies summarily dismissed that as well.
Instead; they follow the failed Presidential Candidate, who couldn't carry his own State and who thought the Courts should decide the Presidential dilemma in 2000. Not realizing they have again been duped.
Actually Global Warming is a FACT. I'm just not convinced we are to blame. the Earth is what??150 million yrs old or older????there has been many warming cycles..also Cooling cycles. Ever wonder why the painting of Washington has small Icebergs in it??? Because they existed there during the winters. The small ice age was in force then. now we have a warming cycle. it might last another 300 to 500 yrs or so. Regardless of rather we have a effect or not, doesn't mean we should pollute simply cause we can.

I don't think the earth is that old. The time frame between the OT and NT in the Bible is probably 400 years or so. The times recorded from BC to Ad is off about 4 years or so. Those that push the evolution theory need the time frame that long for the snail to turn into the monkey by a freak of nature. Then he becomes man.

the pyramids and myan pyramaids are dated back to 10500 bc
built with optical precision we might be barely able to duplicate today.
dont worry know matter what happens I hope your jesus will come bac and save us
Large human skulls from 3-5...
feet in length are being found that are way way older its been hypothisized that due to the larger atmosphere everything was bigger fish dinosaurs turtles birds etc... whats exciting about this it was duplicated in a lab
Which brings up a good question where the hell did the myan people go they dissappeared off the face of the planet
the bigger problem Imo the entire world is consuming more and more and more .
Theirs simply not enough resources for the entire planet to live in a modern age as it currently is.
hmmm what will we do?
