Global Warming is more Lobby than Science

And for those ho would like to know more and perhaps wonder why they are not aware of the counter arguments, the first link (below) explains why and here is a good snippet from the Lawson speach on the topic;

..... again, extreme weather events, such as major storms in the Gulf of Mexico, have come and gone, at irregular intervals, for as long as records exist. Katrina, which caused so much damage to New Orleans, is regularly trotted out as a consequence of man-made climate change; yet the region's worst recorded hurricane was that which devastated Galveston in 1900. Following Katrina, the world's authorities on tropical storms set up an international panel, which included the relevant expert from the Met Office here in the UK. The panel reported, earlier this year, as follows: "The main conclusion we came to was that none of these high-impact tropical cyclones could be specifically attributed to global warming."

This may not be all that surprising, given how little global warming has so far occurred; but I do not recall it featuring in Mr Gore's film. Why didnt we hear this reports conclusions on the BBC then (maybe we did and I just missed it). Its also worth noting that I am not aware that Lawson is funded by the Oil industry but then I guess you never know.

Evidence that the Global Warming lobby is not interested in the science of global warming and is exactly what it is - a lobby. This is exactly what some of us have been saying all along - and we now have evidence that a publically funded research institute is advising its GW advocates to lie..... (see below)
