Three inches plus varying amounts of additional snowflakes descend on Madison today making this a routine mid-March weather event. The only regrettable aspect is that temperatures will remain seasonally below normal for the next several days. Once again a good time to remind everyone that Al Gore is a complete environmentalist wacko as evidenced by his latest global warming marketing campaign. The Heartland Institute posts a brilliant rebuttal to “The Loser” and his attempt to find funding and reasons to stay in the media.
Heartland Institute Statement on Gore Global Warming Campaign "Al Gore's call for the media to give free air time and donate huge financial sums to an alarmist global warming effort is a typical Al Gore campaign against scientific independence and a level scientific playing field. This is also typical of the propaganda campaigns and intimidation tactics advocated by global warming alarmists, attempting to 'shame' real scientists by subjecting them to public scorn.Limited supplies of Sore Loserman merchandise are still available.
"More than 17,000 scientists have signed a petition calling into doubt global warming alarmism http://www.oism.org/pproject/s33p357.htm. Significantly, many of the scientists are specialists in climatology.
"There is still much to learn about the Earth's climate system. Only partisans, blind alarmists, and scientists more interested in research dollars than dissemination of the truth believe 'the debate is over.' Indeed, to the extent the debate is over, it is because initial alarmist predictions have been completely debunked.
"The only current debate is over whether the moderate warming projected will marginally benefit or marginally harm mankind and the Earth's ecosystems. The early indications are this moderate warming will benefit life on Earth, just as past global warming periods have.
"If Al Gore were indeed more concerned about human welfare than environmental and political posturing, he would ask the media to donate money and air time to halting the current malaria holocaust, from which more than a million people will die this year. Even the New York Times has called for the return of DDT, which effectively combated malaria until activists such as Al Gore banned it due to faulty data and a public scare campaign not unlike his current global warming effort."
