Arguing With “Global Warming” Idiots
By Jim O'Neill Sunday, December 13, 2009“Two thousand scientists, in a hundred countries, engaged in the most elaborate, well organized scientific collaboration [scam] in the history of humankind, have produced long-since a consensus that we will face a string of terrible catastrophes unless we act to prepare ourselves and deal with the underlying causes of global warming.”— Al Gore
“As public opposition continues to stall Congress’s cap-and-tax legislation, Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] bureaucrats plan to regulate carbon emissions themselves, doing an end run around the American people.” —Sarah Palin

It’s your money—don’t let them continue to steal it.
For the sake of those who don’t have the time, or inclination, to take the quiz, I have supplied an abbreviated version of the test questions and answers below.
(1) Question True or False. “Global warming” is a real phenomenon: Earth’s temperature is increasing.
Answer True. “Global warming” is a real phenomenon: Earth’s temperature is increasing. From a geological perspective, global warming is the normal state of our accustomed natural world. Technically, we are in an “interglacial phase,” or between ice ages. The question is not really if an ice age will return, but when. If Global Warming stops, then you can start worrying! It means our warm interglacial phase is over and we may be heading into another Ice Age.
(2) Question True or false. The “Greenhouse Effect” is real and contributes to global warming.
Answer True. The “Greenhouse Effect” is real. The “greenhouse effect” helps to moderate temperatures—especially nighttime temperatures. Without the greenhouse effect, the average temperature of the Earth would be -18 degrees C (around zero degrees Fahrenheit).
(3) Question Multiple choice. The main cause of Global Warming is:
Answer Orbital eccentricities of Earth and variations in the Sun’s output. Global Warming occurs in cycles caused mainly by changes in the sun’s energy output, and the sun’s relative position to the earth. [NOT industrial pollution, automobiles, airplanes, and CO2].
(4) Question Multiple choice: The Greenhouse Effect is caused primarily by:
Answer Water vapor. The world’s natural wetlands produce more greenhouse gas contributions annually than all human sources combined. [That’s worth re-reading].
(5) Question Multiple choice. Which most accurately describes the effects of Global Warming in the United States over the last 100 years?
Answer Temperatures have risen less then 1° C during the past 100 years. During the period 1900 to 1940 temperatures were increasing. Then from 1940 to 1980 temperatures were decreasing. Currently, temperatures are increasing back to about where they were in the 1930’s. Overall, the total average annual temperature increase in the U.S. in the last century is so slight the actual amount is uncertain—maybe 1/3° C
(6) Question Multiple choice. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) is in Earth’s atmosphere today?
Answer Less than 1/10th of 1%. Most CO2 comes from natural terrestrial and ocean biologic activity, and compared to former geologic times, Earth’s atmosphere today is arguably “CO2 impoverished.” There has historically been much more CO2 in our atmosphere than exists today.
(7) Question True or false. Carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants damages forests.
Answer False. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the principal gas that trees and other plants need to survive, just like oxygen (O2) is the principal gas that humans and other animals require. Carbon dioxide is invisible. The fat, curvy towers that look like they are belching white smoke are really only emitting pure water vapor. They are in effect making clouds.
(8) Question Multiple choice. Which answer below provides the best explanation for the temperature record [over the past 1,000 years]?
Answer Natural variations in global temperatures may occur in roughly 500-year cycles. The primary cause of variations in global temperature is due to the cycles of the sun and Earth’s orbit about the sun. In addition to 40-year cycles and 500-year cycles, other temperature cycles include:
- 21,000 year cycle: Elliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun
- 41,000 year cycle: Cycle of the +/- 1.5 degree wobble in Earth’s orbit
- 100,000 year cycle: Variations in the shape of Earth’s elliptical orbit
(9) Question Multiple choice. Which of the following is not true about an increasing greenhouse effect?
Answer The idea that most scientists think that “global warming” warrants drastic action—is false. President Clinton and others [e.g. Al Gore—see above] cite a letter signed by 2600 scientists that global warming will have catastrophic effects on humanity. Thanks to Citizens for a Sound Economy, we know now that fewer than 10% of these “scientists” know anything about climate. Among the signers are: a plastic surgeon, two landscape architects, a hotel administrator, a gynecologist, seven sociologists, a linguist, and a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine.
Over 17,000 [real] scientists have signed the Global Warming Petition to express their view that “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”
(10) Question Which temperature measuring method most accurately measures global warming?
Answer Orbiting 
So there you have it. You are now armed with sufficient knowledge to insulate yourself from The Big Lie, and defend yourself against its vociferous, duplicitous proponents.
Don’t expect them to back off, simply because intelligent, sane people prefer the truth to their b.s. They will continue to lie—more stridently than ever—and their propaganda arm, the liberal press, will continue to trumpet their falsehoods.
But we are hip to the con. Time to start suing yet?
Laus Deo.
P.S. A tip of the hat to Glenn Beck, and a thank you to GeoCraft, for their informative test..

Great post. As you say, the global warming fraud artists like to demonize CO2 but the irony of it is nothing would exist without this natural gas. NOTHING WOULD BE GREEN!!
Had these hucksters at least chosen a truly noxious gas like carbon monoxide, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulfide, phosgene, carbonyl fluoride, methane, chloride or hydrofluorocarbon, they might have been somewhat believable. I guess it shows what little regard they have for the average person's intellect. Then again...
