For example, a little less than 50 years ago scientists believed the Earth was going to be covered in ice by 2021. Even predictions made 20 years ago were way off; Al Gore's prediction of the absence of arctic ice by 2013 is comical now. "The global warming scam, with the trillions of dollars driving it, has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist" (Luongo). James Hansen of NASA predicted that the west side highway in New York would be under water by now because of global warming. Of course, he was also wrong. These predictions scared the American people, thus concluding they were successful, but very …show more content…
Surveys of meteorologists— including one conducted in 2012 by the American Meteorological Society of its members— find that most oppose the concepts alleged by global warming. “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate” (Miller 73). Even prominent alarmists in the climate change debate admit there is no consensus. Phil Jones, director of the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, when asked if the debate on climate change is over, told the BBC, “I don’t believe the vast majority of climate scientists think this. This is not my view.” The executive secretary of U.N.'s Framework Convention on climate change, openly said that the goal of environmental activists is not to save the world from ecological calamity but to destroy capitalism.
Climate models and temperature data also disprove global warming time and time again. Since 2012, arctic ice has increased by 50%. “The most accurate data confirms that there has been absolutely no global warming since 1998” (Chomsky). Environment Canada confirmed that this February was the coldest in more than 100 years. Any climate data stating otherwise has been proven to be manipulated. Temperature data shows no catastrophic
