Fifty Four IPCC Scientists Polled
11/10/07 10:27pm
Like the headline says, 54 IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) scientists, the UN panel most quoted by climate zealots, were polled and a report on that poll was published on November 8th of this year. [Link] Strangely and contrary to Algore and others, they haven't anything close to "consensus" among them about our climate.
More importantly for me is a question I have been asking of every eco-wacko I can communicate with:
With all of the radical temperature fluctuations through the ages, which climate is the best? At one point they were growing wine grapes in Britain (and Hippos were swimming in the Thames!). At one point glaciers covered our (North America) northern tier. At both of these extremes mankind got along quite well as did animal kind. So, what makes this climate so important that it must be preserved at all costs? What makes the climate we have now the right one?
Well it looks like the boys at the IPCC mostly agree with what I believe. A sample from that poll:
The ideal global climate:
61% doesn't exist
17% is today
13% is cooler than today
7% no opinion
2% is warmer than today
So one has to ask. If we don't really know what the ideal climate is, why are we creating all of this angst and bile trying to keep the climate at this temperature? Seems like normal people (the adults among us) could sure expend our limited energies/monies on more noble or useful pursuits. As for the eco-wackos, the climate really doesn't have much to do with their actions. It is but a Convenient Excuse (no apologies to Algore) for a deeper more pathological motivation. Anti-corporations, anti-automobile, anti-growth, anti-trade, anti, anti, anti. Name anything about 21st century American life and they are against it.
So please - anybody, I'm still looking for a credible answer to the Big Question. If you have the answer, drop me a line at sprestek50 @ gmail.com and I'll post it unedited (and anonymously if you like).
