We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

But, >>fortunately, it is available on the Internet. >> >>Distinguished scientists specializing in climate and >>climate-related fields talk in plain English and >>present readily understood graphs showing what a crock >>the current global warming hysteria is. >> >>These include scientists from MIT and top-tier >>universities in a number of countries. Some of these >>are scientists whose names were paraded on some of the >>global warming publications that are being promoted in >>the media -- but who state plainly that they neither >>wrote those publications nor approved them. >> >>One scientist threatened to sue unless his name was >>removed. >> >>While the public has been led to believe that "all" >>the leading scientists buy the global warming hysteria >>and the political agenda that goes with it, in fact >>the official reports from the United Nations or the >>National Academy of Sciences are written by >>bureaucrats -- and then garnished with the names of >>leading scientists who were "consulted," but whose >>contrary conclusions have been ignored. >> >>There is no question that the globe is warming but it >>has warmed and cooled before, and is not as warm today >>as it was some centuries ago, before there were any >>automobiles and before there was as much burning of >>fossil fuels as today. >> >>None of the dire things predicted today happened then. >> >>The BBC documentary goes into some of the many factors >>that have caused the earth to warm and cool for >>centuries, including changes in activities on the sun, >>93 million miles away and wholly beyond the >>jurisdiction of the Kyoto treaty. >> >>According to these climate scientists, human >>activities have very little effect on the climate, >>compared to many other factors, from volcanoes to >>clouds. >> >>These climate scientists likewise debunk the >>mathematical models that have been used to hype global >>warming hysteria, even though hard evidence stretching >>back over centuries contradicts these models. >> >>What is even scarier than seeing how easily the >>public, the media, and the politicians have been >>manipulated and stampeded, is discovering how much >>effort has been put into silencing scientists who dare >>to say that the emperor has no clothes. >> >>Academics who jump on the global warming bandwagon are >>far more likely to get big research grants than those >>who express doubts -- and research is the lifeblood of >>an academic career at leading universities. >> >>Environmental movements around the world are committed >>to global warming hysteria and nowhere more so than on >>college and university campuses, where they can harass >>those who say otherwise.
