Riding Roughshod Over Algore

The Deniers


A year ago, the world heard that global warming could lead to a global catastrophe "on a scale similar to those associated with the great wars and the economic depression of the first half of the 20th century." This assessment, from Sir Nicholas Stern, former chief economist of the World Bank, made banner headlines and led prominent leaders such as British Prime Minister Tony Blair to urge immediate action to stem global warming.

It also led some prominent environmentalists to denounce Sir Nicholas for what they deemed an outrageous study bereft of credibility. None of the environmentalists issued a stronger denunciation, or has better environmental credentials, than Richard S.J. Tol.

125k years ago and about 8k years ago the earth was much warmer. Greenland was capable of supporting agriculture and the Sahara consisted of lakes and grasslands. Warming overall reduced deserts (though the Western USA got much drier).

During the ice ages, deserts expanded across much of Europe and at one point (75k years ago) the human race dwindled to as little as 10,000 persons.

Global cooling is a threat to humanity.. not global warming.

We won the cold war but now the traitors and enablers are trying to defeat us in the warm war it seems.
