Global Warming Hoax Weekly Round-Up, Feb. 20th 2009This one caught my eye:
Welcome to the hottest weekly round-up since last week's edition. It's been a very busy week in the world of global warming changey-hoaxy, so I have a lot of links for you. In fact, if this post were a breakfast cereal I'd tell you that you're getting 20% more sugary goodness FREE, there's that much more stuff this week. Dip in and get your skeptic fill of news and laughs, you know you want to.
The Soros Threat To DemocracyThe science is not 'settled'. All indications point towards a temporary warming trend which is ending. The Kyoto models don't account for the sun which is entering a cooling phase.
George Soros is known for funding groups such as MoveOn.org that seek to manipulate public opinion. So why is the billionaire's backing of what he believes in problematic? In a word: transparency.
How many people, for instance, know that James Hansen, a man billed as a lonely "NASA whistleblower" standing up to the mighty U.S. government, was really funded by Soros' Open Society Institute , which gave him "legal and media advice"?
That's right, Hansen was packaged for the media by Soros' flagship "philanthropy," by as much as $720,000, most likely under the OSI's "politicization of science" program.
That may have meant that Hansen had media flacks help him get on the evening news to push his agenda and lawyers pressuring officials to let him spout his supposedly "censored" spiel for weeks in the name of advancing the global warming agenda.
Hansen even succeeded, with public pressure from his nightly news performances, in forcing NASA to change its media policies to his advantage. Had Hansen's OSI-funding been known, the public might have viewed the whole production differently. The outcome could have been different.
