President Obama recently spoke to the U.N. He said that “Global warming poses a threat to national security”. What is the basis for this statement? Is global warming really happening? If it is happening, what is the cause? Is there any way we can control it? If it is happening, is it really bad? these are all good questions. The truth about Man made global warming is not as clear cut as the U.N. panel and many others say it is. They say it is fact. Facts need to have proof, a something is not fact because the U.N. panel says it is. To be a scientific fact, it must be proven. None of the statement they have made can be proven.

Records show that from the 1950's thru 1978, the temperature of the earth was falling. The same experts that are now predicting catastrophe from warming, were in the late 1970's predicting we were going into another ice age. From 1978 until 1999, the temperature was rising. Since 1999 the temperature of the earth has been cooling again. The 2 highest temperatures ever recorded on earth, 134 degrees in 1913 in Death Valley Ca., the 2^nd 136 degrees in 1922 in Libya.

All scientists agree that the earth has warmed and cooled over history. The earth has been much cooler. We have had several ice ages, where most of the northern hemisphere was covered with ice. The earth has also been much warmer. The Vikings were farmers in Greenland, you can't farm in Greenland now. We also know that the warming and cooling has happened several times through history. These are facts, not predictions. What is the right temperature of the earth? Who has made the decision that what we have now is what it should be?

The global warming advocates say the main cause of man made global warming is CO2 gas that is given off by man burning fossil fuel. The total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is .038%, most of which is cause by water vapor from the oceans. Is CO2 bad? For plants to survive they need CO2, plants give off the oxygen that we need to survive. If there is more land where plants can grow, and more plants grow, that produce more oxygen, and people can grow food where they could not before, is that better for humans, is that bad?

The global warming advocates say the largest warming occurs in the colder norther climates. The areas of Siberia, northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland are the area's most affected. Would any of these areas and the people living in these area be hurt if the temperature were to rise slightly? Far more people die every year from cold than from heat. A recent study for the U.K shows that in the U.K. Alone in 2007, 25,300 more people died in the winter months than in the summer months. This was not an isolated incident, it is the norm. This is another reason that a slight warming would not be bad.

Global warming advocates also say that storms, and natural disasters will also be much worse. There is no indication that this is true. If you base the severity of storms on property damage and people injured, you need to realize the there are more people, and more people live in area's affected by storms. If you base the severity on the strength of the storms, they are not getting worse. Of the 10 strongest Hurricanes in the Atlantic, 2 of them were from 1992 to 2005. None since. The other top 8 were all before 1969.

Another argument is that the polar bears are dieing off. After unrestricted hunting of polar bears was stopped, the population has risen substantially. A recent Canadian study of several groups of polar bears show that 45% of the groups have a stable population, in 14% of the groups, population is increasing, in 16% of the groups population is decreasing. In 25% of the groups, the populations change could not be determined. In the groups that has an increasing population were occurring in areas where the temperatures had increased, the declining populations were in areas where temperatures were colder.

In the United states this year, we have had one of the coldest summers on record, for most of the country. We have had record low temperatures in hundreds of places. Record early snowfall. Record cold and early snow in Canada. Record snows in Paris in January, record cold in northern Europe early er this year. Many other examples show the temperature is cooling.

Dr. Roy Spencer, Author, Climatologist, former NASA scientist, just released a study showing that the U.N. Panel on climate control is using data for their predictions that is wrong. Click here to read.

A recent paper published by Prof. Richard Lindzen shows that if we shut down the entire world economy to stop emitting CO2, it would take 225 years to make enough difference in emissions to stop the 6 degrees F. of temperature increase that the U.N. Says will happen over the next 150 years. That is assuming that it will even happen at all. I think having no transportation, basically no electricity, no industry, and not nearly enough food to feed people on earth, would be a far greater threat to national security. Especially since the threat is based on something that a majority of people don't even think is happening.
