Editorial: The Great Global Warming Hoax?
Editor's Introductory Note : Our has been slowly warming since last emerging from the "Little Ice
Age" of the 17th century, often associated with the Maunder Minimum. Before that came the " Medieval
Warm Period ", in which temperatures were about the same as they are today. Both of these climate
phenomena are known to have occurred in the Northern Hemisphere, but several hundred years prior to the
present, the majority of the Southern Hemisphere was primarily populated by indigenous peoples, where
science and scientific observation was limited to non
existent. Thus we can not say that these periods were
necessarily "global".
However, "Global Warming" in recent historical times has been an undisputable fact, and no one can
reasonably deny that.
But we're hearing far too often that the "science" is "settled", and that it is mankind's contribution to the
natural CO2 in the atmosphere has been the principal cause of an increasing "Greenhouse Effect", which is the
root "cause" of global warming. We're also hearing that "all the world's scientists now agree on this settled
science", and it is now time to quickly and most radically alter our culture, and prevent a looming global
catastrophe. And last, but not least, we're seeing a sort of mass hysteria sweeping our culture which is
really quite disturbing. Historians ponder how the entire nation of Germany could possibly have goose
stepped
into place in such a short time, and we have similar unrest. Have we e a nation of overnight loonies?
Sorry folks, but we're not exactly buying into the Global Hysteria just yet. We know a great deal about
atmospheric physics, (bio) and from the onset, many of the claims were just plain fishy. The extreme haste
with which seemingly the entire world immediately accepted the idea of Anthropogenic ( man
made ) Global
Warming made us more than a little bit suspicious that no
