Well worth a read – self damning words of alarmists

Larry Bell has a great column at Forbes titled:

In Their Own Words: Climate Alarmists Debunk Their “Science”

Here’s a few gems from the first page:

Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth (D-CO), then representing the Clinton-Gore administration as U.S undersecretary of state for global issues, addressing the same Rio Climate Summit audience, agreed: “We have got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.” (Wirth now heads the U.N. Foundation which lobbies for hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars to help underdeveloped countries fight climate change.)

Also speaking at the Rio conference, Deputy Assistant of State Richard Benedick, who then headed the policy divisions of the U.S. State Department said: “A global warming treaty [Kyoto] must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the [enhanced] greenhouse effect.”

In 1988, former Canadian Minister of the Environment, told editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald: “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

I highly recommend this article, read it in full here, and bookmark it for future reference:

Lust for power corrupts absolutely. Behold climate science.

Mike Hulme, whack professor at (why am I not surprised) UEA:

Rather than asking “how do we solve climate change?” we need to turn the question around and ask: “how does the idea of climate change alter the way we arrive at and achieve our personal aspirations.…?

Having read the comments over there, I can conclude that SS, sorry SkS is getting so little traffic that Rob Honeycutt is looking for a new site to spew on.
