MELTING LIES ABOUT GLOBAL WARMINGLiz Coppella

Thesis The media distorts information about

global greenhouses. Climate scientists try to create panic by

making faulty claims. Global warming alarmists use scare

tactics and threats. All is done in order to gain funding when

there is no real threat.

1,500 year cycle Theory that through at least the last one

million years, a 15,00 warm-cold cycle has occurred.

During this time there are ice ages, and then interglacial periods where the glaciers melt.

We are in an interglacial period.

What is it? A change in climate, which is directly or

indirectly attributed to human activity that alters the compositions of the global atmosphere.

Court Cases: California vs. General Motors

GM’s cars emitted over 289 mill metric tons of CO2 causing Global warming.

Court ruled against the Global warming claim saying that there were too many other factors to consider.

Almost no coverage in the media.

Court Cases: Vermont vs. Bush Admin

President Bush did not want to take action when he was being pressured to do something about pollution and global warming.

Was told to “stop burying his head in the sand”.

He created the Global Warming Reduction Act.

Outcomes of this case were blasted all over the news and included the New York Times paper.

Counter Argument: Humans are Contributing.

Contribute by either the burning of fossil fuels.

To a lesser extent, clear cutting forests.

Humans burning fossil fuels Today’s CO2 levels are 40% higher than

the highest natural levels over the last 800,000 years.

With every gallon of gasoline burnt, 19lbs of Co2 is being put into the atmosphere.
