Support Climate Denial Crock of the Week – go to www.greenmanstudio.com This is the same video as “What do we know about Climate Change?”, except it has a small typo — I’ve left it up since so many places already have it embedded. In the many responses I get to these videos, it appears that a number of people want to deny, or are not even aware, that there is a scientific foundation to the overwhelming consensus on climate change. In fact, the science is built on thousands of publications and many decades of observation. In this video we’ll go over some of the fundamental discoveries, the basic facts that we know beyond a doubt, about global warming. Of course, many people will never believe science, because they believe that anything that challenges their world view, is all part of a secret, global conspiracy.

Retired climatologist Dr. Tim Ball joins us to discuss the significance of the recently leaked emails and documents from the Climate Research Unit at East Anglia University which expose deceit, duplicity and collusion between climate researchers to maintain the fraud of the manmade global warming theory. These emails reveal stunning behind-the-scenes details about how this fraud has been developed and perpetuated, and Dr. Ball shares his insights on what they show. For more information on this incident, please see the following articles from The Corbett Report and other sources: Hacker leaks thousands of emails showing conspiracy to “hide” the real data on climate change www.corbettreport.com The Death Blow to Climate Science canadafreepress.com Collusion, Corruption, Manipulation and Obstruction noconsensus.wordpress.com Mike’s Nature Trick wattsupwiththat.com For more information on the Climate Research Unit and their unwillingness to share data with other researchers, please see The Corbett Report’s earlier interview with Dr. Ball: www.youtube.com

In Cool It, Bjorn Lomborg argues that many of the elaborate and expensive actions now being considered to stop global warming will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, are often based on emotional rather than strictly scientific assumptions, and may very well have little impact on the world’s temperature for hundreds of years. Rather than starting with the most radical procedures, Lomborg argues that we should first focus our resources on more immediate concerns, such as fighting malaria and HIV/AIDS and assuring and maintaining a safe, fresh water supply—which can be addressed at a fraction of the cost and save millions of lives within our lifetime. He asks why the debate over climate change has stifled rational dialogue and killed meaningful dissent. Bjorn Lomborg is the author of The Skeptical Environmentalist. He was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2004 and has written for numerous publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Economist. He is presently an adjunct professor at the Copenhagen Business School, and in 2004 he started the Copenhagen Consensus, a conference of top economists who come together to prioritize the best solutions for the world’s greatest challenges. This event took place September 20, 2007 at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, CA.
