Global Warming Alarmism: "the media wanting a scare story"
On March 3, New York hosted the 2008 International Conference on Climate Change where Lord Christopher Monckton, a policy advisor for former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher during the 1980s warned that the global warming alarmism could have agrave impact on humanity. He pointed out past events in history where individuals misinterpreted science, the eugenics movement in the 1930s which led to Hitler, the Lysenko movement in Russia under Stalin and even the great leap back under Chairman Mao which led again to tens of millions of deaths.
"Monckton used the banning of DDT, which was linked to the deaths of 40 million children dying from malaria, as an example. The World Health Organization lifted the ban on September 14, 2006, and that was, as Monckton said, 'The science standing in front of politics."

The Media Research Center's Business & Media Institute conducted an
extensive analysis of print media's climate change coverage back to the
late 1800s.
It found that many publications now claiming the world is on the brink of a global warming disaster said the same thing about an impending ice age just 30 years ago. Several major ones, including The New York Times, Time magazine and Newsweek, have reported on three or even four different climate shifts since 1895.
In the 1970s several publications warned that global cooling posed a major threat to the food supply. Now, remarkably, global warming is also considered a threat to the very same food supply. Which is it? Global cooling or global warming?
The media continues to point to glaciers as a sign of climate change, yet they have used them as examples of both cooling and warming. If the glaciers in the Arctic are melting, but the glaciers in the Antarctic are growing, is that a sign of global warming or global cooling?
Decades before scientists and journalists alerted the public about the threat of a new ice age, British meteorologist argued that mankind was responsible for heating up the planet with carbon dioxide emissions--in 1938, so global warming is not a new idea as the media would make it out to be.
The New York Times has reported four different climate change scares since 1895, and none of them have become a reality.
Monckton blamed the attention garnered by global warming alarmism on a combination of factors.
"Now here we are once again with another scare," Monckton said. "It's the same people behind it. It's the international left. It's the media wanting a scare story. ...It's not so much a conspiracy I think, as a coincidence of outer interests who is set to take and advance their causes collectively by getting behind this nonsense."
Wake up, people! Global warming is just a fad, here today, gone tomorrow. Companies are trying to profit from the scare, and they are taking you to the bank. Going "green" isn't going to help the "global warming" situation because there is none. You are just feeding the already deep pockets of the leftist special interest groups. Don't you find it funny that between July 1, 2007, and December 31, 2007, only a meager 20 per cent of news stories even mention there were any alternative opinions to the so-called "consensus" on the issue of global warming?
