Here’s what we know about “global warming.” There isn’t any. The only warming that has occurred has been the entirely natural warming that occurred when the Little Ice Age ended around 1850.

By contrast, the Earth has been cooling for the past decade.

Warming and cooling cycles are well known to climatologists who have not sold their souls to the global warming fraud.

Thousands of those who have not have been signing petitions to protest the lies about global warming, now called “climate change.”

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old.

Its climate has always been in a state of change, including a number of well-known ice ages.

What is also known is that carbon dioxide (C02) plays no role in global warming or climate change. The Earth’s atmosphere is primarily composed of water vapor.

There has been no atmospheric rise in CO2 for the past 160 years. CO2 comprises 386 parts per million in the atmosphere, whereas human exhalation contains 40,000 parts per million, more than one hundred times as much.

Without CO2 there would be no life on Earth. All vegetation depends on it. More C02 would be extremely beneficial, increasing crop yields, aiding the growth of forests.

The claims of global warming have been entirely based on computer models.

Those justifying drastic action to reduce CO2 emissions have been proven to have been deliberately false, the handiwork of a handful of “scientists” who have received millions in research grants.

Every report by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has been filled with lies.

Despite this, on June 10 the U.S. Senate, by a party line vote of 53-47, defeated a resolution by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AL). Six Democrats joined Republicans in voting against it.

The resolution would have restricted the Environmental Protection Agency’s effort, comparable to the Cap-and-Tax bill, to regulate CO2 on the grounds that it was a “pollutant” that poses a danger to human health and life.

The effort to require limits on greenhouse gas emissions, primarily CO2, would affect all industry and business activity in America, making it increasingly costly, less competitive, and generating a financial scheme based on the sale and trade of “carbon credits” that has already enriched people like Al Gore.

At the same time, many European nations that signed the UN Kyoto Protocol requiring such limitations have learned that it has harmed their economies without any benefits whatever.

The alleged value of such carbon credits in Europe has diminished steadily, particularly in the wake of the failed UN Conference on Climate Change last November.

The Conference failed after the leak of thousands of emails between the global warming conspirators that demonstrated their efforts to hide keep their data from being examined by other scientists, a standard practice, and seeking to subvert science journals from publishing articles disputing their global warming claims.

Beyond the conspiracy to foist the vast global fraud on the world are the enormous investments and government subsidies for “clean energy” such as wind and solar.

President Obama hailed the vote saying it moved the nation “toward (a) clean energy economy, but such an economy ignores the fact that America and all other nations are dependent on the use of oil, natural gas, and coal.

So-called clean energy provides barely three percent or less of all the electricity generated in America. It can never replace these established sources of energy.

Energy policy in America must of necessity be determined by a Congress responsive to the voters, not by faceless bureaucrats with an environmental agenda whose purpose is to destroy the nation’s economy.

The transfer of power from the legislative branch to the executive is sinister and a threat to the future of the nation.

Unfortunately, the current Congress and those preceding it have ignored the facts about energy, denying Americans access to its own vast reserves of coal, oil and natural gas by designating massive amounts of the nation’s land as wildlife reserves and “protected” areas known to have those reserves.

They have ignored the fact that global warming is a fraud and a hoax.

They ignore the impossibility of solar and wind energy to meet the needs of America for reliable electrical power.

They ignore ours (and every other nation’s) dependence on oil for transportation and industrial use.

A Congress that cared about America would disband the Environmental Protection Agency as an enemy of progress and growth.

Instead, it continues to heedlessly seek to give it control of the nation’s future and with it our lives.

Everyone has heard all of the rhetoric about this global warming that is supposedly happening. You know, all of us evil westerners with our SUV’s, are causing this planet to be destroyed because of our over indulgence and waste.

People like Al Gore, the inventor of the internet, have given the liberal mind yet another reason to hate America and the West. But, did you also hear that global warming is also occurring on Mars and other planets.

It seems that Mars, Jupiter, Neptune’s largest moon, and Pluto all have warmed at the same time as Earth has warmed. If global warming is man-made, where are the polluting factories and vehicles on Mars and the other planets?

Just maybe, this is just a natural cycle of our universe that the Creator has set in place. After all, God’s act of creation is easy to find in the Bible. Genesis 1:1 says

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”. If this is denied, all that one is left with is human arguments that will give you no real answers or comfort. Denial of this leads to a futile attempt at anything to prolong this life and to escape the inevitable promise of God, except the real truth.

When we look at this earth and the other planets that are experiencing this warming what is it that is the common element of all of them? Is it human and Martian activity that is causing the crisis? Not likely at least in the Martian environment.

The only common element of both is the SUN. The sun has cycles just like everything in nature. Just like in 1645 and continuing through 1715, there were no observed sunspots. This is the period known as the Little Ice Age.

This, at a time when human impacts on climate would have been hardly anything. This is one of the longest solar minimums recorded.

 Sunspot activity has been shown to a have direct affect on temperatures and the amount of sunlight hitting the earth. There has been a recent downturn in sunspot activity since one of the most active ones ever over the last 70 years.  

In 2008 there were 266 days scattered throughout the year without sunspots, and in 2007 there were 163 days without sunspots.

These are the #2 and #9 fewest sunspots years seen since 1911. So far this year there has been 243 spotless days. The typical solar minimum cycle (few sunspots) is normally 485 days before the swing to maximum. The current minimum is at 754 days.

All of this shows us that the natural ebb and flow set in place by God is the cause of our weather.

It is interesting to note that the term ‘global warming’ is being replaced by the term ‘climate change’. As global warming is being more and more debunked, the new term seems more palatable to the masses. You do know what climate change is don’t you? It is called the WEATHER.

The arrogance and audacity of certain people, led by Al Gore, to suggest that ‘changes in the weather’ are a crisis. Without exception, every place I have lived, the locals always have a saying that goes, ‘if you don’t like the weather just wait an hour. It will change”.

Weather is, if nothing else, in a constant state of change. That is why we watch the weather on tv and that is why it is so hard to predict. It constantly changes.

Another thing you won’t hear much of on the news these days is that “global warming” halted about ten years ago, and surface temperatures have been falling for seven years.

Remember, the very first Earth Day in the early 70’s had signs that said, “Stop Global Cooling”

My, we humans are a fickle bunch. Being tossed to and fro depending on the political whim of the day.  But don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself. There is a lot of information out there. An excellent resource is http://www.spaceweather.com/  for tracking sunspots and other space events. Concerning science and sensible public policies another resource is http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/
