As I write this, it's coming up on 6 a.m. in the east, on Jan. 24. We have below zero temps, and wind chills that I won't bother to describe to you. Seems an appropriate time to examine closely the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind: Manmade global warming.
First, since I do Today in History in my daily columns, let's examine the timeline of global warming claims.
1966: In ten years, the planet runs out of oil.
1967: Widespread famine by 1972.
1970: Humanity will exhaust all natural resources by 2000.
1970: City dwellers will need oxygen masks no later than 1985.
1970: We will have a new ice age no later than the year 2000.
1970: Americans will have to ration water and food no later than 1974 and 1980, respectively.
1971: A new ice age will be established in 2020.
1972: The planet runs out of oil in 20 years.
1974: Satellites show new ice age approaching.
1976: Scientists confirm that the planet is cooling and famine is imminent.
1978: Gradual cooling has already begun and will last for 30 years.
1980: Acid rain will kill all life in lakes.
1988: The Maldives islands will be swallowed by the waters in 2018 at the latest.
2002: Widespread hunger will set in within 10 years if we don’t stop eating fish, meat and dairy products.
2004: Britain will look like Siberia by 2024 at the latest.
2005: Manhattan island will be underwater by 2015 at the latest.
2008: All Arctic glaciers will disappear completely by 2018.
2009: Humanity has only 50 days left to avoid a climate catastrophe.
2014: We only have 500 days until climate chaos sets in.
In looking at this history, I'm forced to conclude that the great Paul Harvey had it right:
As I go to press, I note Bob Zimmerman at Behind the Black:
In the never-ending legal battle between fake climate scientist Michael Mann and his critics, Rand Simberg and Mark Steyn, Mann has once again lost badly in an appeal to a higher court, with the Superior Court in DC not only ruling that Mann must immediately pay Simberg and Steyn a total of more than $27K in court costs and fees, but blasting Mann for his lies to the court during the proceedings.
The court itself explained the ruling:
The fact remains that Dr. Mann throughout this litigation complained that he suffered lost grant funding directly stemming from the defamatory statements of Messrs. Simberg and Steyn, while providing very little in the way of specifics about the dollar amounts of his losses directly attributable to the statements (such as corroborating testimony from percipient witnesses), all while promising to illuminate the Court at trial. At trial, Dr. Mann elected through his attorneys to present to the jury a blown-up demonstrative, without redaction or explanation, a demonstrative intentionally prepared for its use at trial, which included a budget (loss) amount of $9,713,924.00, when the correct amount, previously corrected during a third round of discovery, was $112,000.
…the Court simply cannot condone such bad faith litigation tactics, particularly in a case that had been zealously litigated across several years and a case involving complicated facts. Thus, the Court’s ruling must stand. It is the Court’s duty to punish and deter bad faith litigation tactics.
Thus confirming what has long been an axiomatic comment: Those who are passing out the money are largely the drivers of climate science. What bothers me is that such a person still stands a pretty good chance of being a "Climate Czar" in some future Democrat administration.
Rather than prattle on on this topic, I'm going to trust what I've come to regard as the smartest readers around: PJ Media readers. Use these links to see what's been happening with these doomsday claims. I've collected a rather large group of links to help you gather your own evidence. Seems just the thing to do on a sub-zero day.
