Quotes Of The Day

Al Gore refuses to debate anyone who doesn’t believe in man-made global warming. Barack Obama is proceeding on the premise that there is “consensus” among scientists and the evidence points to climate change caused by our bad behavior that may doom the next generation.

However their notion of “consensus” is a lie, and if global warming/climate change is indeed happening, why the need to lie…?

Observations of the Sun show that as for the increase in temperature, carbon dioxide is “not guilty” and as for what lies ahead in the upcoming decades, it is not catastrophic warming, but a global, and very prolonged, temperature drop. Over the past decade, global temperature on the Earth has not increased; global warming has ceased, and already there are signs of the future deep temperature drop.
