Global Warming Is A Hoax?

Ralph Van Pelten, a member of the GreenJoyment community, shared this article from an online source called OneNewsNow.com.
I’m re-printing the whole article here to open up the discussion. What do you think GreenJoyment community? Is Global Warming a hoax? We’d love to know your thoughts in the comments below the article.
NEW YORK CITY
Speakers at a conference on climate change are making the case that the alarmism behind the global-warming bandwagon is politically motivated, has nothing to do with science, and could affect the sovereignty of the U.S.
The second annual International Conference on Climate Change hosted by The Heartland Institute is well under way in New York City. More than 700 registrants have gathered in the Big Apple to hear more than 70 scientists – representing the views of tens of thousands of their colleagues – make the argument that media and environmental advocacy groups have it all wrong, that global warming is not a crisis.
One of the headlining speakers to open the event Sunday evening was European Union and Czech Republic President Vaclav Klaus, who was welcomed with a standing ovation. Klaus, one of the most outspoken critics of manmade global warming in Europe, says those who propagate global-warming hysteria are like the communists of old Europe. Like global-warming alarmists, he stated, the communists did not listen to opposing views.
Vaclav Klaus (Pres. of Czech Republic): “They didn’t even try to argue back,” said Klaus. “They considered you a naïve, uninformed and confused person, an eccentric complainer….It is very similar now.”
Klaus believes that politicians who propagate global warming hysteria only have one goal in mind: control of the public. “It is evident that the environmentalists don’t want to change the climate,” he said. “They want to change our behavior…to control and manipulate us.”
And he warns that those same politicians wish to engage in energy rationing — all because of a problem that he believes does not exist. Klaus concluded his speech with this remark.
“The environmentalists speak about saving the planet. We have to ask — From what? And from whom?” said the EU leader. “I think I know [those answers] for sure. We have to save the planet, and us, from them.”
Opposition an ‘uphill battle’
Dr. Richard Lindzen, who has been Alfred P. Sloan Professor of Meteorology at MIT for over 25 years, was one of the keynote speakers on the opening day. He said global warming hysteria is more about a political agenda and has nothing to do with science.
“I think [there is] one point you should notice as one discusses the science, and that is that global warming alarm — as far as I can tell — has always been a political movement, a highly organized one,” Lindzen observed. “And although it took me a while to realize this, opposing it has always been an uphill battle.”
The MIT professor, one of the world’s most respected atmospheric physicists, said that many of his good friends and colleagues have subscribed to global warming alarmism because they either fear for their jobs or see it as a way to get funding for scientific projects. He also discussed the use of supposed “climate models,” and quipped that as scientists debate intelligent design, climate models are an example of “unintelligent design.”
Lindzen contends that climate models are being fed erroneous information in order to get the results that global-warming alarmists want.
Throwing money away
Dr. Michael Coffman is the CEO of Sovereignty International, a U.N. watchdog organization. During an interview at the conference with OneNewsNow, he explained that the basis of his skepticism regarding global warming comes from research he himself has conducted.
“During the 1980s and early 1990s, I lead a multimillion-dollar research effort on global warming and found that the data that was being collected just didn’t support the hypothesis that man was causing global warming,” says Coffman.
Therefore he concludes that any money thrown at fixing the alleged problem is a waste.
“Any amount of money that we spend on it is not going to change any temperatures whatsoever,” he observes, arguing that every family in America will be affected. “Because depending upon what legislation is passed, it will actually cause every American family to spend at least two- to five-thousand dollars more a year…to try to support this effort to curb carbon-dioxide emissions.”
Coffman warns that politicians are moving towards having an international tribunal established which will regulate carbon emissions.
“Which means basically since carbon dioxide is involved in all elements of business in the United States, …whoever does this controls the economy of the United States, and therefore our sovereignty,” he cautions.
Later Monday a keynote speaker from Congress will be discussing the political aspect of global warming in greater detail.

About global warming and increasing weather disasters in general: as my 6 year old son said in about 1992 when the Mississipi river severly flooded, “God is punishing America”.
God quite clealy says in the Bible that He controls the weather according to whether he wants to bless or curse us because of the morality of our lifestyles. For example, at Lev. 26 God says, “3 If ye walk in my statutes and keep my commandments and do them; 4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yeild her increase, and the trees of the feild shall yeild their fruit”. The global warming theory ignores the fact that as well as getting unusually hot at times, our world is also getting unusually cold at times. Note the record low temperates last European winter. Also the recent fires in Australia were only half of the story: “ironically”, Queensland had severe floods at the same time as the Victorian draught. Why? What is really happening is that God is trying to get our attention by mucking up our weather for us because our selfish and unloving lifetyle is leading to our eventual ruination. The solution is given at 2 Chron. 7 where God told Solomon, “13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence amoung my people; 14 If my people which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”.
God punishes us out of love, to turn us from our wicked and self destructive ways, and he uses, amongst other things, the weather as an instrument of correction. Isn’t this a fascinating powerful God who love us and cares for us and teaches us as if we adults were but naughty children?
And thank goodness that the solution does not involve restrictions on burning fossil fuels, or constantly worrying about our carbon footprints, or getting involved in expensive carbon credit schemes but rather it involves learning how to love our neighbour better, such as learning not to murder, steal, lie, commit adultery, and to honour our parents, and not to live a greed obsessed lifestyle. The real solution does not involve any expense, but a change of heart, and change of the ethical choices we make in life.
Green ideas are part of the solution, in that God wants us to care for our planet. But they are only part of the solution, not the whole solution, which is to obey God.
And what is happening in the world is that Jesus is soon going to return a second time to resolve all the world crises that preserntly exist which mankind cannot resolve by himself. So the answer to the world weather turmoil is simply this: keep the commandments, Jesus is coming. -

I have to agree that global warming is a hoax. This does not mean we should abuse our planet. I fully support green methods for cleanliness and a way to maybe get out of the control of big corporations. Governments are using carbon as a new method of taxation, that is why we hear about it so much. If you can afford a brand new car the tax is very low, but if you have an old car, you still pay through the nose! Just another way to take money from the working class.

Are you part of the problem or part of the solution? Please read Malachi Chapter 3, Verses 8,9, and 10. It’s a matter of faith.

I myself do believe in global warming as well as global cooling as well as the hole in our atmosphere remember that one circa jimmy carter i think every time we have a socialist president i mean democrat i here all of these mind numbing controling rubbish. I am all for cleaning up the world in which we live and renewable energy but please I am in the automotive industry and have found I myself can sell more by simply always stating the TRUTH not hog wash.

Really, i think this whole article is rediculous. Of course global warmoing is real, the Glaciers are melting and even Antarctica is losing its mass! There is no mind control about trying to get the public to change their pollutant ways. Whether its turning off the lights or putting things in the tank of your car to use more gasoline and let out less of the harmful substances, its just something that has to happen. Even if there Was no global warming thats something that has to be done unless your cheering for the later generations to have a Very hard time.
This article sounds like a Fox News Cast. We will present only those opinions that coincide with our point of view, I wonder who the program director was Rush Limbaugh. I am uncertain as to the specifics of global warming but I am certain that the entire conference was populated by flat earth true believers.
