Are People Finally Seeing Through the Global Warming Scam?

Sphere: Related Content

With world energy prices at record highs and the quality of life for nearly everyone being effected, it seems as though people are finally taking a good, hard look at the global warming charade and find the international consensus lacking.

First in Britain where the public has had just about enough:

The majority of the British public is still not convinced that climate change is caused by humans - and many others believe scientists are exaggerating the problem, according to an exclusive poll for The Observer.

The results have shocked campaigners who hoped that doubts would have been silenced by a report last year by more than 2,500 scientists for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which found a 90 per cent chance that humans were the main cause of climate change and warned that drastic action was needed to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The findings come just before the release of the government's long-awaited renewable energy strategy, which aims to cut the UK's greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent over the next 12 years.
The "campaigners" are shocked because they have had a compliant media and in many cases a compliant government telling them just how real this global warming thing is. On the sceptic's side, we had several reputable folks telling us it was not at all as disconcerting as the warmenist's claimed but they were effectively shut out of the conversation. The grass-roots sceptics continually poked holes in their case but with fuel prices at historic lows or at least steady, people swallowed the spoon-fed "data" being dished out about temperature rises of 1 degree Celsius and rising oceans despite sketchy science. Even conservatives are getting caught up and are missing the lack of seriousness by the public on this issue.

Not any more.

When the warming alarmist's were told that the Earth was, in fact, cooling, they changed their mantra from global warming to "climate change" so they could blame every single weather event from earthquakes and flooding to snowfall a day before summer and the reduction of hurricanes on "climate change." Thankfully, some people scratched their heads and said "how can this be?" But most went along with the plan because it wasn't directly costing them money (the fact that their taxes were being used and raised for anti-global warming activities didn't seem to phase many) and it was hip to be a good environmental steward.

Fast-forward to the future and we now have oil approaching $150 per barrel and the quality of life being effected daily because of silly environmental policies. Now, the alarmist's message can not be accepted so lightly. The costs of signing a ridiculous Kyoto agreement is starting to be seen and when we see that non-Kyoto nations are actually reducing carbon output better than signers, the people have to be questioning what the hell this scam is all about.

Global warming deniers or those who believe that the world may be getting a bit warmer through natural means such as sun spots have been labeled heretics and compared to Holocaust deniers in the most extreme cases but we are entitled to out views and perhaps we are seeing a tipping point where we're starting to get some acceptance for our views. People are seeing Al Gore make millions off an industry he helped create based on half-truths and outright lies. They see Al Gore using more energy than ten families should why we turn off our air to save money. They hear liberal elites sermonize about how evil we are by driving SUV's then watch as they fly off in private jets while saying they've offset the carbon created by planting a damn tree somewhere.

The tide is turning (and not going up and flooding low-lying cities) and the public has had enough. For those who have seen through this sham since it was first pushed in the 90's, it feels pretty sweet that the public is starting to see the arrogance and hypocrisy as well.

I don't think the question is whether or not people can see that global warming is a scam so much as will anyone actually stand up and put an end to this taxation excuse.
