"... their first batches of beer."

   "Gore’s story is fine for people who have no perspective beyond their own lifetime or that of their parents (who tell stories of much harsher winters). But in a longer term perspective that must be researched to be found (which few average people seem to have the inclination to do), we find that we are actually colder now than it was when the Mesopotamians were brewing their first batches of beer."

From a comment (Ref. crosspatch (12:40:36)) on Watts Up With That?

I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened. ~ Mark Twain

   "Australia exports coal and sets atmospheric carbon dioxide goals so large as to guarantee destruction of much of the life on the planet."

Professor James Hansen, has written in an open letter to Barack Obama calling for a moratorium on coal-fired power stations and the use of next-generation nuclear power.

   "And this in the same year that the theory of human-induced ozone depletion was shattered
by hard scientific findings that the rate constant for one of the critical reactions in the computer models of chlorofluorocarbon-induced ozone depletion was in error by a factor of 10 and as a result CFCs alone cannot be responsible for observed ozone depletion."

   "In addition, although the post 60s warming period is over, it has allowed the principal green house gas, water vapour, to kick in with humidity, clouds, rain and snow depending on where you live to provide the negative feedback that scientists use to explain the existence of complex life on Earth for 550 million years."

"Even the dumbest sheep knows that warm and well fed is better than cold and starving...

   "Man’s emissions of carbon dioxide are beneficial not dangerous. And current levels of CO2 are low by historical standards.

   "All life would benefit from an increase in CO2 content.

   "Be Thankful for the Warmth and for the Abundance of the aerial plant food, Carbon Dioxide.

   "All humans should be thankful for the modern warmth and for carbon foods and carbon energy - it is the cold, hungry, carbon-deficient Ice Ages we need to Fear. Even today, people in the northern latitudes who cannot afford to pay for energy, or whose power supplies fail, often die in their frozen homes."

   "They simply lack the courage to pull out a gun and deprive the "profligate fat cats" of their wealth directly -- they prefer to hire bully-boys in government uniforms to do the job for them, under the sanctified cloak of "shared sacrifice." "

Manic Tulips and Global Warming...

I thought I was reading finance, and it is all about finance, except... well except the Great Global Warming Scam poked through every example, conclusion and explanation Stephen Greenspan gave.
   Consider:

   "The American version of the inheritance scam was perpetrated by a former Illinois farm boy named Oscar Hartzell. While Thérèse Humbert's victims were a few dozen extremely wealthy and worldly French aristocrats, Hartzell swindled over 100,000 relatively unworldly farmers and shopkeepers throughout the American heartland.  ...   The Drake scheme became a social movement, known as "the Drakers" (later changed to "the Donators") and whole churches and groups of friends -- some of whom planned to found a utopian commune with the expected proceeds -- would gather to read the latest Hartzell letters from London. Mr. Hartzell was eventually indicted for fraud and brought to trial in Iowa, over great protest by his thousands of loyal investors. In a story about Mr. Hartzell in the New Yorker in 2002, Richard Rayner noted that what "had begun as a speculation had turned into a holy cause."

   Utopia ...  holy cause ... thet's AGW alright.

   And  "Tulipmania ...  In the 1630s, tulip-bulb speculation raged in the Netherlands. Prices of some rare bulbs doubled weekly, or even daily, and rose so high that people were investing in shares of one bulb, rather than an entire bulb. The market crashed in February 1637."

   It's worth catching up on these great financial scams of history past, and history present, just to get a broad canvas on which to draw an understanding of what is happening with the global warming scam, and a general overview of just what fools we mortals be.

ESSAY
Why We Keep Falling for Financial Scams
   "Intelligent people have long been ruined by frauds. Psychologist Stephen Greenspan, who specializes in gullibility, explores why investors continue to be swindled -- and how he came to lose part of his savings to Bernard Madoff."

“The Alarmist fantasy world is a function of society’s massive accumulation of wealth.”

JP on Watts Up With That?

Who needs a book to tell us why?
This sentence encapsulates it all.

   "John Holdren is the ultimate example of the pseudointellectual impurities that have recently flooded universities and academies throughout the Western world."

Harebrained theorist John Holdren will become Obama's science adviser
the reference frame

Population growth means death

   "Do you want to know what is his specialization? The easiest path to the answer is to look at his publication list at scholar.google.com. No, he hasn't found anything about laser cooling, like Steven Chu, despite his PhD in plasma physics. Instead, he has only written 3 very well-known texts - with at least 100 citations - and all of them were concerned with the "catastrophic" population growth. A few additional, newer articles with 50 citations or so are about the "catastrophic" climate change."

Or as The New York Times asked in Tierney Lab:
Flawed Science Advice for Obama?
By John Tierney

   "Does being spectacularly wrong about a major issue in your field of expertise hurt your chances of becoming the presidential science advisor? Apparently not, judging by reports from DotEarth and ScienceInsider that Barack Obama will name John P. Holdren as his science advisor on Saturday. [UPDATE: Mr. Obama did indeed pick Dr. Holdren.] "
