Crash goes the "consensus".(THE LAST WORD)

The year 2007 will go down as the "Year of Fear," in which a mob of militant enviro-activists, UN bureaucrats, prattling politicians, and Hollywood leftists largely succeeded in creating a climate of hysteria over climate change. The hysteria reached a global "tipping point" level thanks to a stupendous day-in-and-clay-out propaganda onslaught in the major media.

Thanks also to that onslaught, Al Gore won an Oscar and a Nobel Prize for his slick but fraudulent shockumentary, An Inconvenient Truth, which has been force-fed to hundreds of millions of traumatized school children worldwide. Many of these students have been forced to view Gore's apocalyptic frightfest multiple times. Unsatisfied that children were being sufficiently terrified, Laurie David, the co-producer of Gore's movie, co-authored a children's global-warming book for Scholastic Books entitled The Down-to-Earth Guide to Global Warming.

David made clear her intention. "We want you to grow up to be activists," she said in an open letter to children. Jumping on the climate fright train, Leonardo DiCaprio came out with his own end-of-the-world pic, The 11th Hour. "I want the public to be very scared by what they see," DiCaprio said of his film. It flopped at the box office, but like Gore's film, it now has a captive audience in the classroom. "We need to get kids young," DiCaprio said in an interview with USA Weekend.

The Gore-DiCaprio gang are after your kids because they know adults are wising up to their scam. Hysteria is a temporary condition that is difficult to sustain, especially when cooler heads start poking holes in the emotionally inflated greenhouse-gas balloons. That is what has been happening. Sensible adults have been coming back down to Earth as news gets out that the "scientific consensus" over global warming is as fake as Gore's temperature statistics and claims of catastrophic sea-level rise. Thousands of scientists have been fighting back against the massive media campaign of disinformation and censorship. If they can break through the incredible dam of media lies, the sea of truth will sweep away the mountainous dung pile of global-warming lies faster than Hercules cleaned the Augean Stables.

Al Gore says there is a "scientific consensus" that anthropogenic (man-caused) global warming is a fact and poses an imminent threat. Only an insignificant few scientists disagree, says Al, and they are akin to "flat Earth society members." UN IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri would have us believe that there are only "about a dozen" scientists left in the world who challenge the ...
