About this ebook

As the U.N. moves closer to a new global warming treaty, it is time to examine the calls for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The health and welfare of humanity has benefited from access to fossil fuels, and any drastic move to limit that access must have extraordinary evidence to support it.

While alternative energy technologies will increasingly be relied upon in the face of dwindling fossil fuel supplies, leading climate researcher Dr. Roy W. Spencer argues that the free market is the best mechanism for solving the problem. In addition, Dr. Spencer addresses the new science that suggests that our modern fears of anthropogenic global warming might well be unfounded, because the climate system itself might be responsible for causing what is now known as climate change.”

    IN MID -NOVEMBER 2009, hundreds of e-mails from the U.K.’s Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia involving some of the leading names in global warming research were made public, probably by a whistle-blower. The resulting scandal - dubbed Climategate by critics - was a public-relations disaster for the global warming industry. It seriously shook public confidence, not only in the scientists involved in the research but also in the lobbyists and politicians pushing for radical action to address a problem that might be more manufactured than real. The leaked e-mails revealed disturbing plans to either destroy or hide temperature data, manipulate the data to hide an observed decrease in temperature, and discussions of how to block the publications of global warming skeptics.

    This behavior certainly does not help the United Nations’ efforts to coordinate a new international global warming treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which runs out in 2012. The primary goal of a U.N. meeting in Copenhagen in early December 2009 was to forge a new agreement for much larger reductions in greenhouse gas emissions than were targeted by the Kyoto treaty. While it looks unlikely at this writing that those legally binding targets will be agreed to in 2009, it is only a matter
