Global Warming, Cost Consequences Versus World Leaders Credibility: A Colossal Confrontation Is Coming!

Global Warming and Climate Change are widely believed to be proven scientific facts, caused by humanity’s fossil fuel emissions, especially carbon dioxide! A colossal confrontation between credibility and cost, worldwide in scope, is inevitable, which will pit world leaders: the United Nations; Nobel Prize Committee; heads of all countries – against the truth of science. The consequences of reduced economic and industrial efficiency would be enormous, as would the embarrassment for world leaders, including President Obama!

• First came the tickling of conscience (the consequences of civilization); DDT – powerful insecticide – both beneficial and cursed; Rachel Carson’s 1962 book “Silent Spring”; some observations of apparent climate change, for example smog and ice sheet decrease;
• Then extrapolation – for principle and political benefit (rebels with many causes): save planet Earth; save forests; protect “endangered species” on land and at sea: whales, dart snails, minnows; save the environment, promote the use of “green” energy, etc .;
• The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, established in 1988, is the highest authorized body that displays ideology (the liberal world accepts the concept) and all the media;
• Climate research projects are financed; climatologists respond to, record and report data: the “hockey stick” graph shows the potential for damage from global warming;
• The Kyoto Protocol was convened in 1997 with the stated objective: to combat global warming, “stabilize greenhouse gases …” [to] prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system. “
• The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to UN IPCC and Al Gore – alerting the world to the potential danger to our planet from industrial emissions of fossil fuels;
• Obama, President and Congress controlled by Democrats: The Climate Control Act (Boundaries and Commerce Act) passes the House in 2009; shows that the United States aligns itself with the Kyoto Protocol (resistance in the Senate). China has now overtaken the United States as the largest emitter of CO2.
• The Obama Environmental Protection Agency sets emission standards and sanctions in the US.
• Copenhagen Conference is held, 2009, 192 countries, all world leaders attend. Obama provides solid backing: “We stand together … climate change is a serious and growing danger. You, like me, convinced the real danger … science, not fiction. [If] uncontrolled .. unacceptable risks .. planet .. [U.S.] largest economy, second largest emitter .. trying to meet responsibility .. phase out fossil fuels .. bold action .. legislation .. clean energy. America meets its commitments: reduce emissions 17% – 2020, 80% 2050 .. Financial commitments [to 3rd world], America [pay most] quick start: $ 10 billion, 2012; $ 100 Billion, 2020 “.
• Then came “Climate-gate”: email leaks that disclosed data that had been modified, withheld, even “lost” (eg, “Hockey stick graph; wrong prediction of melting Himalayan glaciers at short notice deadline); data requests (Freedom of Information Act) ignored; technical articles by scientists that challenge the database or extrapolation theory are crossed out from peer-review journals, etc.
• Scientists at “Doubting-Thomas” begin to be heard: 31,072 Americans with science degrees sign a petition flatly denying that claims of human-caused global warming are scientific fact; calling for the rejection of the United States; Leading Scientists Write Critical Articles – Post Blocked (Ignored by the Media).
• Then the recent admissions by top UN scientists of false data modifications and projections; resignations of the Chief of Climate of the UN, Dr. Yvo de Boer; The Director of the IPCC, Dr. Phil Jones; etc.
• However, the belief in climate change is still widespread, supported by the leaders of all countries, most of the technical journals and the mainstream media. However, against this solid front:
• A chorus of scientists in other fields, dismayed by the revelations, begins to speak: righteous outrage at (what appears to be) a blatant disregard for scientific purity.
• Mother Nature Is Showing Her Strength: The Extreme 2009-10 Winter Weather Across America Mocks Global Warming, Making A Mockery Of Awakening American Citizens To The Cost Realities Of The Government And Media Agenda Communication to “Green” the United States.
• Cost consequence: financial group analyzes expose potential costs and job losses due to Obama’s EPA program; imposed penalties for carbon dioxide emission and repair in millions of medium to large-sized facilities: factories, hospitals, even apartment buildings; plus tens of billions of dollars as “emissions fixes” (Obama’s Copenhagen promises). Understanding grows: even if humans cause climate change, the “cure” will be far worse than the “disease”!

World leaders, the UN, the Nobel Prize Committee, President Obama, they all seem to have gotten into a corner. How will it end?
