The latest news scoop concerning global warming is really hot. Earth is colder than expected. NASA scientists have admitted to a mistake which led to their conclusion that the last decade was the hottest on record.
Never mind that the scientists at NASA quietly corrected the mistake, which now makes the 1930s the hottest on record. You would never know about the mistake or its correction if you depend solely upon the mainstream media for your news.
The fact that an error led to the current hysteria in the media and in certain sectors of the scientific community is no big deal when you have a propaganda machine to run.
However, it is no small consequence that the data that many scientists, politicians, and mainstream media talking heads used to justify their fear-mongering on climate change is entirely wrong. In fact, the corrected information will nearly kill the 'man-is-to-blame-for-global-warming' bandwagon, except for the most die-hard of ideologues.
An overwhelming majority of Americans, 70% to be exact, already believe that climate change is a naturally occurring phenomenon rather than man-made. As the news gets around that the entire basis for the hysteria over global warming is erroneous, that percentage will likely rise to over 90%.
No matter what the facts prove in any realm of human endeavor, we can always depend on about 5-10% who make up the fringe-element of society to discount those facts.
The problem at NASA began with a Y2K bug in the computer program in 2000. The bug caused a widespread bump in temperature readings, leading scientists to conclude that the year 1998 was the hottest on record.
When scientists corrected the problem and ran the data without the bug in the program, an entirely new scenario presented itself. The 1930s had three of the hottest years on record, and the year 1934 now holds the title for being the warmest on record.
But here is the most damning news of all for the global warming fear-mongers. Five (5) of the 10 hottest temperatures on record were recorded BEFORE WWII. This means that the first 40 years of the 20th century produced 5 of the 10 hottest temperatures on record.
Michael Asher of DailyTech has this to say about the updated information: 'The effect of the correction on global temperatures is minor (some 1-2% less warming than originally thought), but the effect on the US global warming propaganda machine could be huge.
'Then again– maybe not. I strongly suspect this story will receive little to no attention from the mainstream media.'
Some would claim that 1-2% cooler temperatures than we originally thought is a minor, almost negligible change.
Not so fast!
Climate 'experts' who have called us 'Holocaust deniers' in their attempts to browbeat skeptics into submission have insisted from the beginning that even the slightest upward move of average global temperatures is enough to sound the alarm.
One then begins to wonder that if such a slight percentage of warming is enough to sound the alarm, then new information that shows we are actually 1-2% cooler than we thought would be enough to turn OFF the alarm.
Not when you have a vested interest in destroying American liberty, free enterprise, and free consumer choice in order to usher in an era of government control over our behavior.
The erroneous data of NASA played right into the hands of extremist environmentalists who wish to change American society from top to bottom. It is highly doubtful that a correction of the erroneous data will change anything at all about a movement that is entirely political rather than scientific.
The usual suspects such as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Ralph Nader, along with their co-conspirators in the leftwing fringe of the scientific community, will continue to attempt to scare Americans into changing their behavior 'in order to save the planet from man-made global warming.'
The 'Flat-Earth Society,' to be sure, will gladly welcome the entire lot into their ranks.

RFK Jr. Continues Smear Tactics
Washington, DC (TLS). Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on Neil Cavuto's afternoon program on Fox News today and didn't miss a beat in continuing his smear tactics against those who disagree with his hypothesis that human beings have caused climate change.
Carefully skirting around questions about his use of the words 'treason' and 'traitors' at Al Gore's Live Earth concert last week, Kennedy attempted to place the focus on Exxon Oil rather than politicians.
He also deftly refused to answer a remark by Cavuto that Kennedy has done business with Venezuelan Communist dictator Hugo Chavez. While castigating American oil companies for their 'evil desecration' of the environment, Kennedy not surprisingly gave a pass to his buddy Chavez, although the Venezuelan Communist's oil ventures pollute the planet more than any American enterprise.
Chavez operates under NO regulations that prevent pollution. American companies, however, must comply with endless federal regulations about such matters.
But of course, in Kennedy's world-view, polluting the planet is not evil as long as a Commie does it. American capitalism must always be vilified as the bad guy, no matter what anybody else does.
As one of Kennedy's frequent targets on various issues, ABC's John Stossel appeared briefly at the end of the JFK Jr. segment on Cavuto's program today. Kennedy repeatedly referred to Stossel as a 'liar,' and continued with his attempt to get advertisers to boycott Stossel over his refusal to accept the erroneous hypothesis that mankind caused global warming.
But perhaps the most ridiculous statement made by Kennedy on today's program was his assertion that merely visiting the Arctic Region and noting how the glaciers have receded is enough to prove evil human beings perpetrated global warming.
Ok, Junior. Here's one to put into that pimple-sized brain of yours. Suppose we all had lived at the end of the last Ice Age. I suppose that you in your almighty wisdom would assert that one only need look at North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, and other states northward to see that since the ice shelf has receded to the point that one can actually plant vegetables in those states, human beings must somehow be responsible for the shrinking of the ice.
After all, all you have to do to prove human beings are evil perpetrators is to visit areas where once there was nothing but a frozen wasteland--such as Iowa.
Sorry, Junior. But once again your appearance in public has done nothing but further solidify the impression on the part of most thinking Americans that you are not in full possession of your faculties.

RFK Jr. Goes Neanderthal at 'Live Earth'
Washington, DC (TLS). Al Gore's 'Live Earth' concerts didn't exactly set the woods on fire in terms of creating a massive, world-wide groundswell of support for his erroneous hypothesis about global warming. Response to the shindig was mixed, and even green-friendly places like Great Britain referred to the event as 'dull.'
Yet there was at least one moment of excitement when Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. went neanderthal in a rampage against politicians in Washington who express doubt about Gore's spin on the cause of climate change and what to do about it.
Like a bull in a china shop, RFK Jr. referred to those who disagree with the Gore hypothesis as 'traitors.' Here are his exact words:
'Get rid of all these rotten politicians that we have in Washington, who are nothing more than corporate toadies. This is treason. And we need to start treating them as traitors.'
The environmentalist activist and son of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy grew hoarse from shouting the tirade.
Someone obviously needs to inform Junior that just because one happens to disagree with the hypothesis that mankind is responsible for global warming does not make one a 'traitor.'
As we have reported many times on The Liberty Sphere, the mass of scientific evidence indicates that Gore and his hypothesis are wrong. That makes the entire 'environmentalist movement' wrong.
One can have a healthy concern for the environment without being part of an overtly political 'environmentalist movement' which is nothing more than a front-group for a gang of Socialists who wish to destroy human liberty, freedom of choice, free markets, and American capitalism.
If the movement can convince the majority of Americans that human beings are singularly responsible for climate change, which goes against every known, verifiable scientific fact, then they can also convince gullible Americans that nothing less than a massive change in our way of life, our economic system, and even our form of government is necessary to 'stop global warming.'
The geological record contains ample proof that human beings really can't do a damn thing to stop the planet from undergoing its regular, cyclical changes in climate that fluctuate between warm and cool, and at various points in between, even at times tilting toward extreme conditions such as we found during the Ice Age.
If modern, industrialized mankind is the single biggest source of global warming, then how, pray tell, did the earth emerge from the last Ice Age? There was certainly no burning of fossil fuels at the time. There was no man-made pollution of any kind.
Yet the ice receded so dramatically that what was once an ice-covered frozen wasteland, held captive by a mega-deep freeze, gradually became a human-friendly environment with a moderate climate.
And let's not forget that the Middle Ages were significantly warmer than the present climate. What, exactly, contributed to the gradual cooling that has occurred since then?
With all of our global warming hysteria, the earth is still much cooler than the days when Greenland was exactly as the name denotes--a green land that was lush with plant life and a moderate climate.
Sorry, Junior, but you and your buddy Al Gore simply don't have your facts straight. And, it is obvious that your outburst at Live Earth was an example of the old adage, 'If you can't win a debate with the facts and logic, go ape.'

RFK Jr. Blasts Bush Environmental Policy
Washington, DC (TLS). Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. blasted the Bush Administration's environmental policy in a speech delivered at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia on Monday.
As an activist of the extremist environmentalist movement, Kennedy has long advocated for a massive revamping of the U.S. from top to bottom in order to move to a 'green friendly' society. Such a society would abhor the burning of fossil fuels, which he claims is the singular biggest cause for global warming, conveniently ignoring THE SUN, which has been getting hotter.
Environmentalist wackos never mention the sun, by the way, as the singular biggest source for heat and energy on the planet.
This is because if they can convince the country that man is to blame for global warming, it will serve as a convenient excuse for ushering in a new era where individual freedoms are limited 'for the common good.' And in this case the common good means the end of free enterprise, capitalism, and personal liberty. Human beings cannot be trusted to do the right thing and protect the environment, and therefore, government must impose limitations, as the delusional argument goes.
Kennedy is one more example of the propagandists who use the issue of global warming to impose their views on the populace--views which have their basis in collectivism, which always places the 'common good' ahead of individual freedom.
