The UCS Global Warming Scam
And Appropriate Comments
Scientists? Which kind of
scientists? How many of them are members of the UCS? Intriguing
questions. Just try to ask them to provide a list of names, positions,
and academic background and see what happens. No response. The members of the
UCS, in the overwhelming majority, are common, lay and
ignorant people that provides $5.00 and up to the UCS fat wallet. The
authority of their opinions is based on their money power. Money talks. . . and when it does, the Truth shuts up.

Global warming is real and underway (They must be kidding!)
Take Action on the McCain Lieberman Global Warming Bill !
The mainstream scientific consensus on global warming is becoming clearer
every day: changes in our climate are real and they are underway. Now. But we can do something about it. The evidence that
human-induced global warming is real is increasingly clear and compelling.
Actually, it is not clear nor compelling. It is a tragic
fake. The "scientific consensus" does not exists.
The "evidence" claimed by the IPCC has been shown false and based
solely on "computer simulations". Virtual worlds.
Kids video games are far more real.

Since the late 19th century, the mean surface temperature
of the earth has increased by about 1º F (0.3-0.6°Celsius).
So what? No wonder this happened since the sun's activity had increased in the
same period. And the sun is the overwhelming source of energy our planet Earth
gets…
·
Over the last 40 years, which is the period with most
reliable data, the temperature increased by about 0.5 º F (0.2-0.3°Celsius).
Reliable data? Since when temperature taken from ground stations is “reliable”?
They suffer from the “heat island effect” that offsets the readings upwards,
giving unrealistic values. Satellite and radio sonde-baloon
measurements show a distinct cooling trend since 1979. Go and check
here.
·
Warming in the 20th century is greater than at any
time during the past 400-600 years.
Again, no wonder, since Earth was recovering from the Little Ice Age that
started about 1300 AD and lasted until about 1865. The solar activity is to
blame here. But don't worry: by 2030 the Gleissberg
solar minimum, similar to the Maunder and Spoerer
minima of the Little Ice Age will set the Earth into a new Little
ice Age. It's going to be really coooool… See here, (and check here)

Seven of the ten warmest years in the 20th century
occurred in the 1990s, and 1998, with global temperatures spiking due to one of
the strongest El Niños on record, was the hottest
year since reliable instrumental temperature measurements began.
Once again, the solar activity is to blame for the El Niños/ENSO
events. The solar activity had a double high peak around 2000,
that set the high temperatures and triggered the El Niño and La Niña.
The solar activity is decreasing and Earth will plunge into another Little Ice
Age.
In addition, changes in
the natural environment support the evidence from temperature records:
·
mountain glaciers
the world over are receding;
Are you serious? The World Glacier Monitoring Association says otherwise. 75%
of the world's glaciers are advancing.
·
the Arctic ice
pack has lost about 40% of its thickness over the past four decades;
As arctic air and water temperatures have not increased, the decrease of
thickness is due to special windy conditions on the
·
the global sea
level is rising about three times faster over the past 100 years compared to
the previous 3,000 years; and
Why do you insist in lying in such a shameless way? There have
been no sea level increase at all! Read this: No sea level rise.

there are a
growing number of studies that show plants and animals changing their range and
behavior in response to shifts in climate.
Climate has not changed due to temperature, so there are no change in animal
behavior – except the early departure of swallows from the southern hemisphere
in their trip north - from the city of Goya, Corrientes,
Argentina, to San José de Capistrano, California, due the cooler and shorter
summers in the Southern Hemisphere. Warming? Where?
Causing serious
disruptions to our environment and lives . . .
As the Earth continues to warm, there is a growing risk that the climate will
change in ways that will seriously disrupt our lives.
As we are still 2°C below the average temperature of the Medieval Warm Period,
or Climatic Optimum, as scientists call it, (800 AD to 1250 AD) what we can
expect from a 2°C rising is better conditions for agriculture and every human
known activity.
While on average the globe will get warmer and receive more precipitation,
individual regions will experience different climatic changes and environmental
impacts. Among the most severe consequences of global warming are:
·
a faster rise in sea level,
No way: increased temperature means increased evaporation and increased
cloudiness, taking more water from the seas. We could even experience a descent
of sea levels!
·
more heat waves
and droughts, resulting in more and more conflicts for water resources;
No way. Increased cloudiness means more rains. More rains means more available
fresh water everywhere.
·
more extreme weather events, producing floods and
property destruction; and
Actually, since the 0.5°C increase started, the number of extreme weather
events as hurricanes and tornadoes have diminished. Check the statistics.
·
a greater potential for heat-related
illnesses and deaths as well as the wider spread of infectious diseases carried
by insects and rodents into areas previously free from them.
Leaving aside sanitary conditions arising from poverty, why are there not more
infectious diseases in tropical areas than in temperate ones? The major vectors
for really bad diseases are mosquitoes –and they are found even in the Canadian
and Siberian tundra, so warmer doestn't mean more insects or pests. Rodents carry lice and fleas,
responsible for many plagues as typhus, bubonic plague, etc, that can be
controlled by means of DDT, the safest and most effective insecticide ever
developed by man. Allow better sanitary conditions for the developing countries
and we'll get rid of most plagues and diseases.
If climatic trends continue unabated, global warming
will threaten our health, our cities, our farms and forests, beaches and
wetlands, and other natural habitats.
Trends never stay steady for long times. If the growing trend for a baby kept
steady we'd get a 21-foot teenager... The present climatic trend is towards
cooling, and the effects of the severe cooling predicted for 2030 is far worse
than a 2°C increase that we pray God to get. We can't do anything to “abate”
the warming trend (even if there was one) because the Sun is driving the
climatic trend, not we – you like it or not.
We can take action to reduce the
threat (Unfortunately we can't)
Fortunately, we can take action to slow global warming. Global
warming results primarily from human activities that release heat-trapping
gases and particles into the air. Again, human influence on the climate is nil. Sun's energy mandates
everything.
The most important causes include the burning of fossil fuels such as coal,
gas, and oil, and deforestation. The most important source of greenhouse gases
is Mother Nature, and there is nothing we could do about it.
To reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and
nitrous oxides, we can curb our consumption of fossil fuels, use technologies
that reduce the amount of emissions wherever possible, and protect the world's
forests. Those activities wouldn't have the slightest effect on the warming or
cooling trends. They would only contribute to heavy economic losses in all
countries in the world – but will make a nice profit for the “global warming
pushers.”
We can also do things to mitigate the impacts of global warming and adapt to
those most likely to occur, e.g., through careful long-term planning and other
strategies that reduce our vulnerability to global warming. Once more, there is
nothing we could do to mitigate the impact of any climate change, even warmer
or cooler. What we could do is start a new and powerful nuclear energy plan for
producing the energy we'll need for keeping us warm in the terrible winters
ahead – like the last one happened in the Northern Hemisphere. If the planet
has warmed as they claim, then why this last winter set records on sub zero
days on a row, and absolute low temperatures? Yes, I know: put the blame on
Global Warming.
Be part of the solution
Clearly, global warming is a huge problem. It will
take everyone -- governments, industry, communities and individuals working
together to make a real difference.
Actually, the real huge problem will be COOLING. And our hugest problem is not
the climate but the way the Greens are stopping development all over the world
and sending poor countries to misery. You can be part of the problem if you
keep listening to them. Stop that and you'll be part of the solution.
At UCS, we're working to bring sound scientific information to policymakers and
the public to educate them about global warming, its impacts, and about
available practical solutions. We're raising awareness of the need for action
and working to create Congressional support for ratification of the
They are working to bring the biggest amount of cash to their wallets. They are
pushing a political agenda designed to impose the Global governance by the
“chosen”: the
But we don't stop there. We're also advocating policies that will combat global
warming over the long term. Things like clean cars that run on alternative
fuels, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping
the clear-cutting of valuable forests. These are solutions that will help to
reduce global warming, and you can be part of them.
The policies they advocate will have no effect on warming or cooling. It has
been proven beyond any doubt. It will only increase the power of the industrial
corporations and the financial institutions that make a most horrible team. As
said, you can be part of the solution, or part of the problem, depending if you
recognize which is the problem affecting the nations of the Earth: inexistent catastrophic global warming or the
quite really catastrophic power of multinational industrial and financial
corporations and their well funded accomplices like the unscientific UCS.
