Prague - Czech president Vaclav Klaus has criticized the UN panel on global warming, claiming that it was a political authority without any scientific basis, Czech media reported Friday.
Klaus told the Hospodarske noviny daily that the panel did not include "neutral scientists, a balanced group of scientists."
"These are politicized scientists who arrive there with one-sided opinion and assignment," he told interviewers.
According to the Czech president, "each serious person and scientist" says that global warming is a myth.
His comments came a week after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) presented its much-anticipated report which contained a stark warning about global warming and blamed man-made emissions for the problem.
The IPCC report, compiled by some 600 scientists from 40 countries, said it is "very likely" that man-made greenhouse gases have caused the rise in temperatures, reflecting a 90-per-cent certainty in the scientific community and an upgrade from a "likely," or two-thirds certainty given in the last IPCC report six years ago.
The British government described the UN panel report, presented in Paris on February 2, a blow to the "climate change deniers."
US President George W Bush turned away from climate change scepticism in this year's State of the Union speech proposing that the US cut petrol use to fight both global warming and foreign oil dependency, and his administration endorsed the UN panel report.
According to Klaus, "other top-level politicians" do not express their global warming doubts because "a whip of political correctness strangles [their] voice".

This is obviously a politically driven panic and Al Gore/Hollywood are the perps! Als' ego is hurt since he is insignificant and desires attention. To the "scientists", climate flucuations are as natural as going to the bathroom! Perhaps those who tow the liberal line need to relieve themselves. All recent figures are within normal variations. To you who blame man on the recent trend, (or is it capitolism and America that you blame?), who did you blame for the other ice ages and warmings that occured long before man or politics existed on earth? And what did you say in 1970 when "scientists" were warning of a new coming ice age? Some of you were children or less. Others come forward and explain your stance at that time. Where were all the hurricanes last year? Not one storm hit the US at hurricane force, allthough the media tried to hide this fact. This is all folly. Paul - Seattle

Al Gore's Oscar acceptance speech

Anyone see Al Gore's Oscar acceptance speech?
Ladies and Gentlemen! Comrades!
Climate change is a modern-day equivalent of class struggle. Global Warming is an easily understood, historically inevitable concept in Marxist Science designed to help the Party to crush capitalism and fulfill mankind's utmost desire to redistribute wealth and establish a centralized global government with an army of enlightened bureaucrats running a planned global economy based on world-wide quotas and five-year plans.
In the absence of classical Marxist preconditions for the Revolution - global crisis of capitalism combined with massive poverty and despair - Global Warming stands out as the most convenient, non-denominational replacement thereof. It provides both the means to manipulate the masses - and a moral justification for doing so. As such it replaces the previously promising but failed agitprop tools as "Overpopulation," "Ozone Holes," "Global Famine," and "Ice Age 2." Until the time when it gets replaced by another convenient agitprop tool, Global Warming must remain an unquestionable dogma in all political discussions (you shall be notified of changes, if any, by the NPR, the New York Times, and other progressive media organs.)
The importance of Global Warming for the Revolution is too great to leave it in the hands of scientists. The masses must believe that it is beneficial to have faith in Global Warming whether it can be proven or not. If Global Warming didn't exist it would be necessary to invent it.
This, and many other Global Warming trivia you will find in my new book which I will be selling in the lobby right after this speech, so you better start forming a line now. Get used to standing in lines, comrades, because when my plan for the future is implemented, lines and ration coupons will become a national pastime for non-Party members. In an easy, accessible format, my book will explain why, unless you appoint me the next President of Earth, you and your pets will all die a horrible death when this planet blows up.
The book consists of the following chapters:
1. How we're all doomed and the planet is going to blow up.
2. How stopping Wal-Mart can help the polar bears.
3. How higher taxes can help the polar bears.
4. How fairness doctrine can help the polar bears.
5. How higher unemployment is linked to cleaner air quality.
6. How poor impoverished countries like to stay that way.
7. How the printing of Bibles destroys millions of trees every year.
8. How to spot heretic scientists and other Global Warming deniers.
9. How to report Global Warming deniers to the authorities.
10. How greenhouse gases should be renamed so as not to offended the green party activists, people that don't live in houses, and anyone whose last name happens to be Greenhouse.

My opinion of him had never been too good. He acts like a 5-year-old egocentric child. He thinks he has eaten the wisdom of the world and never accepts anyone else's opinion. But to a certain extend I respected him for his manners and education. After reading this mental diarrhoea he let out in the major Czech newspaper for economy (Hospodarske noviny) I lost the rest of my respect for him. This man has lost his senses and turn into a complete lunatic. I wish he'd never been re-elected a Czech president because what he does harms my country.

Get the Facts on Global Warming

Factors to Consider on Global Warming.
I attended the presentation by Mr. Dorn, editor of Backpacker Magazine. He was trained by Mr. Al Gore to share the latest scientific information on global warming, titled "An Inconvenient Truth." I found that about 95% was irrelevant to the claim that Humanity is responsible for the earth's global warming. For the other 5%, I am in disagreement with the premise. One statement by Mr. Dorn caught my attention. He stated that, "It is possible that we cannot stop the ice from melting." If that is so, then how can Humanity be blamed for its CAUSE?
I am not a believer in global warming caused by man. Humans are a minuscule speck on the earth, if you look at the huge mass of the earth, (Volume = 4/3 x Pi x radius cubed = 267.3 billion cubic miles) of rock, water, and a molten core. For billions of years the earth has been subjected to variations of weather and cyclical climate changes. You can find a chart of the climate swings by searching Answers.com and Wikipedia. There is little that Humans can do to upset Nature's balance. Our existence is totally dependent on the heat from the sun, and we are victims of any changes originated by the radiation of the sun. Sun spots and variations in the nuclear activities of the sun have everything to do with our global temperature. It takes enormous amounts of BTU's to make any change to the stability of the earth. Over the centuries there have been variations, which have nothing to do with Man. Only an extreme dust cover, such as could be caused by a really big meteor strike, or by multiple volcanic ash-emitting eruptions, could the earth be affected in a significant temperature change. A large dust umbrella encircling the earth would cause an abrupt freeze-up on the earth. Like Dinosaur extinction? Remember Mt. St. Helen? Man cannot affect or influence these global proportions. Mother Nature is in command, like it or not.
Almost all of the presentation was devoted to the "EFFECTS" attributed to any global warming trend. Disastrous results from Nature-caused actions do not point a finger at Humans for the "CAUSES." If the hurricanes are caused by el-nino' in the Pacific Ocean, then explain how Man caused many hurricanes in 2005, and only a few in 2006. The truth is that the Pacific Ocean has been affected by the sun, and intermittently heated by underwater volcanic eruptions. Our submarines have been plotting and recording the ocean heating effects since WWII. The USS San Francisco SSN-711 rammed into an uncharted underwater volcanic mountain two years ago. Disaster pictures of New Orleans are irrelevant, and have no basis in human cause. The same goes for the Asian tsunami floods, caused by an underwater earthquake. Another false solicitation of our sympathy is the picture of the submarine rising through the arctic ice. The first submarine to surface through the arctic ice was the USS Skate SSN-578 on July 20, 1958. Many other surfacings followed. Who do you think took the picture? In 1962 The USS Seadragon SSN-584 set course from Pearl Harbor, and surfaced alongside the USS Skate, coming from the Atlantic side. Also, the pictures of the polar bears on ice floes have been proven to be a hoax. A mother and her cub were froliking on the ice floe, from the photographer, who took the picture in 2004.
I am a strong believer in reducing the amount of fossil fuels burned; not because of the Global Warming Hoax, but more importantly, because of the economic advantages, and also reducing dependence on foreign oil importation. Air pollution is a growing problem because of the health hazards to us and our children. Plant more trees and vegetation because carbon dioxide is digested and oxygen is expelled. Let's find a way to package
CO-2 and sell it as fertilizer. Use more high efficiency fluorescent lamps, because it saves electricity. Build more clean electricity generating plants. Wind, water, solar, and nuclear driven resources are the final clean air answer. The U.S. has done very well in using electrostatic particle removers and pollutant reducers, compared to the 1920/30's when coal was the main energy source for the industrial revolution. China has been placing more than 100 new coal-fired, unfiltered, electric generating plants on-line each year. In two years, they will become the world's greatest polluters. PBS recently did a special show on China showing the people wearing face masks to filter out the soot and sulfur from their breathing. Their irresponsible airborne pollution always travels west to east to North America. Because of the high sulfur content, the acid rain does damage to all of our outdoor structures and buildings. When is the Presentation scheduled to go to China to tell them to stop? Al Gore just this week in Spain, gave China a pass on their promise to conform to their cleanup activities. Germany has exempted its coal industry from Kyoto agreement requirements. France, by the way, is one of the cleanest countries, because the majority (80%) of their electricity production comes from nuclear powered generators. India and Spain are flagrant violators, burning a lot of coal. Get all the facts from internet research. Do not rush to judgement.
The Wikipedia search engine has a nice chart showing an average Global temperature rise of only 0.2 C. degree temperature rise from 1940 to 2000. There are slight temperature dips in 1950 and 1970, showing the cyclical nature of our global temperature. The charts in the presentation used an old marketing trick to exaggerate the point being made. If you stretch the horizontal "y" axis (time), and narrow the vertical "x" axis, (temperature), then small changes will appear to be more significant. There were no chart source identifications, and computer "projections" were unsubstantiated, with models giving no accountability to the greatest variable, that of clouds and water vapor. Incidentally, weather satellite measurements show no significant climate changes in the life of their existence. Check it out.
The United States and Australia have signed the Kyoto treaty, but have not ratified it. Many of the other countries have made promises, but have made no attempt to do anything. Mr. Clinton and Mr. Bush were in agreement that the treaty would do much harm to our economy, and the Senate rejected the concept. If the carbon dioxide blanket prevents the heat on the earth from escaping into the atmosphere, then how did it manage to penetrate from the sun into the earth in the first place? Now another UN scam comes into play. The "Emissions Trading Scheme" allows low production countries to sell their "Carbon Credits" to other countries to meet their targets of GHG (GreenHouse Gas) allocations. It is too lengthy and complicated to go into here. Do some research in Google.com, Answers.com, Wikipedia.com, etc.
Bottom Line: I disagree with the term used to describe global warming as
"very likely" to be caused by Man. I choose to believe the physicists and meteorologists at Harvard, MIT, Stanford, etc., who have stated that Man's role in Global Warming is "highly unlikely." Now that the temperatures have gone down to MINUS 40 in Minnesota and even lower in Canada and the Arctic Circle, watch the glaciers rapidly freeze back out. Remember that the Antarctic region is now in its summer cycle. I would bet that the people across the upper plains states, in Oswego NY (141 inches of snow in two weeks), and Denver wish they could get some of that global warming right now. The humorous irony is that all of us in attendance shivered making our way back to our cars in the 10 degree temperature, thinking about global warming. It is important to not panic into spending billions of dollars to correct a problem that we did not cause, nor can we control. This transcends politics. It most important that we act on "What is right for America," - - and be sure that it is right.

So if Muqtada Al Sadr suddenly proclaims that global warming is a hoax, are all the skeptics here going to start hailing him as "courageous", and "clear-headed"? Klaus is a corrupt politician from a fledgling post-communist country known for suppressing information. His scientific credentials are non-existent. I'd find a new spokesman.

Global warming is directly related to the sun putting out more energy and is not man caused. The sun is entering a period of increased activity which is warming us up. Nothing we can do about it, we are not causing it, it is just another phase in the hot/cold cycle that has been happening for millions of years.

Anybody heard of Global Dimming? go on look it up
That was offsetting Global Warming.
Now the pollution causing that is in decline. Global Warming is speeding up.
What the was that crap about 0.6 averages blah blah blah. It doesn't matter if it is a lower temperature etc. the effect is what matters and melting casues more water physics 101.
You only have to look at glaciers melting. the vegetation bands on mountains moving up due to warming leaving nowhere for the top ecosystems to go. Remember the ozone hole? in decline due to cfc reduction, anybody remember acid rain caused by ut as well? Anybody want to argue these were "natural events" and not caused by Man maybe, it was the dolphins.
Global Warming denyer cult members obviously think its all natural. Anyway let everyone carry on and all the denyers of GW can move to some of the low lying pacific islands. Oh I forgot they have already been evacuated due to sea level rise. How about prove its not GW give you guys something to do, instead of calling everybody else liars

common sense is not enough. global warming is too complex an issue to be discarded by simply saying "it is natural" or that there were "past ice ages". How cold were such ice ages? What are is the scientific data regarding temperatures and model predictions? those are the questions we should be asking. GW supporters on the other hand, should not simply disregard legitimate arguments against the theory- they should answer it based on empirical evidence. Only then can the truth appear
Everyone is biased to a point. and Klaus speaking about politicization is funny (and ironic) for as a president he represents the epitome political power (and possible bias and corruption)

It's great to once again see such an awesome use of referencing to back up the claims here. Don't worry about the scientific method people! If enough people commenting on a news site say that it does or does not exist they must be right! Don't be deluded into thinking you can make a difference here, your comments will be forgotten in a day, those that are recorded in the world's most respected scientific journals will not... and might I add those are the ones which disagree with our Czech friend here!

I am a senior research scientist working in the largest research organization in my country. I have seen the data. Anyone that disputes the fact of global warming has not studied the evidence with an open mind. The link between CO2 levels and atmospheric temperatures is indisputable and based on proven laws of physics. I know many people would prefer it were otherwise but unfortunately the science is undeniable. There is no doubt that the future of civilization hangs in the balance. Action must be taken now. Please take the time to examine the evidence and try not to allow your opinion to be shaped by your political allegiance. We have perhaps 1 or 2 decades left in which to act.

Sounds like the normal atomospheric cycle is producing more political hot air on earth than is needed.

This reminds me of a story in elementary school of how american explorers tricked the indians by saying they could take away their moon. It was in fact an eclipse, A natural phenomenon. But the explorers use this natural phenomenon to control the indians. Now our government is trying to control us with a natural phenomenon of global temperature change. Making belive we have the ability to control it as long as we do what the goverment wants.

I'm not going to say whether global warming is real or not. I don't know. But everyone here whose cynicism towards Gore is prefaced with the phrase, "follow the money." is clearly not actually following the money. According to the assumption that the truth will be discovered when we look to he who will prosper, the oil companies, not Gore, are the ones most interested in conceit. Do you think Gore is hoaxing global warming to increase the measly profits from his film? Really, who stands to profit? Whether it's hype or not, the interest of concealment points more to industry.

From the transcript, President Klaus says (in translation): "IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scientists who arrive there with a one-sided opinion and a one-sided assignment."
I am surprised and delighted that there is still a politician who has the guts and conviction to boldly speak the truth despite the pressure, intimidation and lies that global warming fascists have brought to bear on this issue.

President Vaclav Klaus should be praised for having the courage to speak up against the harangue of global warming pushers. Follow the money and you will find the truth about global warming. It's easy to dupe people by scaring them with "science." Al Gore, for instance, has to stay relevent. He is unelecteable, and this is his only opportunity to stay in the public limelight. He's a scammer, taking advantage of people's ignorance. The United Nations is a worthless organization whose credibility has been tainted by politcal agendas; it's concern is not for the environment.

Science Deniers and power mongering media

Science Deniers are pushing the global warming tax and the media is playing along to see just how much influence they have over citizens and politicians.
World media, which has taken over western politics, is using the global warming hoax to demonstrate their power to stampede the herd over the cliff - just to lay claim to the "right" to push or pull public opinion and the power to generate political pressure.
Science Deniers (largely from the political left) seek the systematic destruction of the objective discipline in order to complete the total infantilization of western populations and thereby justify their total political subjugation, as the perpetual irrational children of the nanny-state parent.
Global warming is a preemptive strike against human reason and rationality in the age-old war against the civilization that science made possible.

I view the Global warming myth as another attempt by the socialist elite of this world to perpetuate their battle against capatalism. They are doing this by engendering "some" scientist, albeit they are not good and true scientist, to justify and ensure future research funding by "preaching what itching ears want to hear". This will in effect, if they are successful, create a tangled economic web that the free world will be snagged in for years to come. And who is the spider that will drain the life giving juice "money" entangled in its web?? Non other than the socialists and their bought and paid for science club!
I was looking through some old school papers my mother kept, as moms often do, from my days in grade school. I found a plaster map of the US I did in the early 70's that had ice caps down to the middle south as a result of the "new ICE AGE" that was eminent if we did not change our use of fossil fuels. Green house gases were the culprit then too. Hats off to at least one world leader not buying in to the latest war against capitalism. Perhaps we could coin it as the newest "Cold War"!!

Although I am not a climate scientist, I have a diploma from a graduate school, on a field considered scientific (medicine). I am a practicing physician. All the years (35) I spent as a physician, I was taught over and over, that all the methods we use must have some kind of scientific basis, evidence, proof. That is why since I am following the various environmental issues, global warming among them, I am always looking for the evidence, proof. I have no personal angle in all this, if there is global warming, yes, something should be done, but if there isn't, or if there is, but it is not caused by the people, nothing should be done or can be done. Let's examine a few items related to global warming.
The polar ice is melting, glaciers are vanishing, the heat waves are blamed on global warming. Isn't that proof enough? Well, no. Not when we consider that even the loudest advocates of global warming don't claim a more than 0.6 C degree of global average temperature elevation during the last century. I am asking: how is that possible? No more than high school physics needed to understand that ice melts when temperature goes over 0 C degree. Somebody please explain to me, how can the polar ice melt, unless it happens to be in a narrow belt, where the average temperature is between -0.5 C and +0.1 C degree temperature? Because that is where what used to be ice, can turn into water. Wherever the temperature is -10 C degrees for example, even if there was a 0.6 degrees average elevation, the ice would still remain under the melting point. Now, some would say that the 0.6 C degree elevation is only an average, and it can produce more elevation in certain areas. True, but if that is the case, somewhere else the local average temperature must go down. We never read in articles about the global warming

Czech president derogates UN global-warming panel -- attention all nuts!

It is revealing, though not surprising, that an extreme, conspiratorial rant attracts the foaming-at-the-mouth right wing crowd.
The vast majority of respected, peer-reviewed scientific work shows that human activiites are a significant cause (among many) of global warming, and that moderating it would moderate the inevitable near-term warming.
The commentators doubtless feel better after venting their hate. The vast majority of people around the world take a different view about global warming. After the 2008 elections, the U.S. may join other nations in doing something about it.

Czech President Derogates UN Global-Warming Panel

Kudos to President Vaclav Klaus for his courage in helping to expose the GW Myth that says Humans Are Destroying The Planet. Science has shown that our Earth has been through at least 6 or 7 Ice Ages. Common sense dictates, that a Global Warming period had to melt through each of those 7 Ice Ages. There was no Human activity then, there were no Industries, no Hummers, no Repbublicans, no Bush. These temperature changes are all about normal fluctuations caused probably by our sun, or factors involving volcanic activity beneath our Oceans. If Liberal/Dems/Socialists-In Disguise want to blame Humans for so-called "Global-Warming", why don't they have the courage and honour to do the right thing? I say to them: "Dems/Libs...Save The Planet....Kill Yourselves"! Be part of the "solution", not the problem. Bernardo Medina from Puerto Rico. Viva Bush!

The Czech Pres is right. The global temperature has not risen since 1999. Does anyone tell you that? NO. There has always been a group of people who cannot stand the idea that someone might have a little more than they. They have used various ideas and methods to squash people down for centuries. This is but the latest attempt. People do not realize that this 'craze' is going to lead them into a cage from which there will be no escape. What you do, how often you do it, what way you do it and what you have will all be decreed to you by law in the name of 'global warming." Gradually, but surely.

Finally, a world leader busts Gore for being a fraud --- using global warming and a junk-science movie to run for the US Presidency. Vaclav Klaus simply cares about removing politics from the global warming debate. Please tell me what is wrong with this approach? Many, many scientists disagree profoundly with this report. Everything the UN does is politicized, biased, and generally anti-western.
The IPCC report is a classic example, with a "world tax" not far behind to pay to ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh make the world colder... LOL!

Global Warming occurs naturally. What we are seeing today is the natural instincts of International Socialists to gain political power through spreading fear about some mythical climate changes and the cause thereof.
This is going to turn out to be the biggest hoax ever perpetrated upon the human race.

Because our orbit around the sun is not constant, due to the gravitational pull of Jupitor, we go through cycles of various distances from the sun. The distance from the sun alone changes over all temperatures on earth. When we have high sun spot activity we get more radiation from the sun which also heats up the planets in our solar system. That is what is going on now with the polar caps of mars. Yes earth is warming up but we are having little to do with it.

He's right - global warming is NOT man-made, and shame on the U.N.

The U.N. has evolved into a self-serving group of green-oriented Marxist bureaucrats who seem bent on punishing the developed countries for their success. Everything that is wrong with the Third World is "obviously" the fault of America, etc.
The U.N. has succumbed to its own delusion that only it knows the truth, that only it can save the world, that it knows better than the individual how one should live one's life, etc. Personally, I believe that the United States should walk away from the U.N.
And how ironic, the "Great Satan" that is America actually pays the majority of the U.N.'s operating expenses, years after year after year. What tune will they sing once America stops paying their bills??????
P.S. Read "Unstoppable Global Warming - Every 1500 Years", for the FACTS about Global Warming.

It is so refreshing to see people finally coming out against politically driven feel good science. The scientific process has been short circuited by feel good hippies out to impose their will on the masses by using political correctness and fear mongering. A reasonable debate is necessary to determine whether (should I say 'weather'?) or not humanity should be concerned about global warming. If we don't then future environmentalists will tell us that our actions actually made things worse.... see the previous experts (20 years ago) who suggested that we deliberately release CO2 to offset the coming ice age.

Cautiously Skeptical
By:

I think we should wait to pass judgement until the complete technical report is issued later this year.
The 2 Feb release was a policy paper that said man-made global warming was more certain. Where is the scientific proof to back this claim up? The IPCC sets up a circular argument for justifying its position.
IPCC has drastically scaled back its predictions from the 2001 report. Anticipated temperature increases and rise in seawater are much lower than previous predictions. From what I understand about global population trends, some of IPCC's worst case scenarios are extremely unlikely.
It is curious that IPCC puts out the policy paper months before releasing the full report. Why can't we see it now?

Global Warming Nonsense
By:

We all can be sure that the weather and climate is changing every second of every day of every year. And it seems to be in a very slight warming trend at present although we can't even be sure of this. We also can't be sure what causes the change. Some say carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, some say changes in the Sun's activity, some say cosmic rays that are diffused differently by the Suns pulsating activity, while still others say meteors striking the Earth and volcanic activity alter the Earth's axis and create wobbles.
What we all can be sure of is that Al Gore won't give us the answer. His Harvard roommate, Tommy Lee Jones, when asked about his famous roommate said to paraphrase "He was very good at Pac-man." A scientist he is not.

It's about time one hears the voice of common sense. I'm tired of the useless UN. All it stands for is Un Necessary.
I'm also tired of these liberal communists shoving this global warming mess down America's throat when anyone with sense enough to read can prove this koo koos wrong in a heart beat.

Thank God for Czech President Klaus. Finally, someone in a position of political authority in this world speaks out against Gore and his band of loony leftist do-gooders. Man-made global warming is clearly unproven! Not only that, its good for human existence and good for the planet. Furthermore, the degree of warming over the past century has been scarcely noticeable, and not higher than temperatures in the pre-industrialization stage.
Al Gore is clearly insane. He looks like Orson Wells playing William Randolph Hearst. His bloated visage and absent eyes speak to a man in serious psychological difficulty. Imagine, the former Vice President, and Democratic candidate for President appearing on American television bestowing awards on adoring rap singers and fawning Hollywood types. It was enough to make one want to vomit.
