You could learn a lot from the author of that article

I am writing up a response to the article but this should interest you

About Bailey:

In his 1993 book, Ecoscam, and other works, Bailey criticized claims that CFCs contribute to ozone depletion and that human activity was contributing to global warming. On this and other occasions, he suggested that the scientific consensus regarding global warming was the product of a scam or conspiracy. Writing in National Review in 1997, Bailey said,

Militia members are famously worried that black helicopters are practicing maneuvers with blue-helmeted UN troops in a plot to take over America. But the actual peril is more subtle. A small cadre of obscure international bureaucrats are hard at work devising a system of "global governance" that is slowly gaining control over ordinary Americans' lives. Maurice Strong, a 68-year-old Canadian, is the "indispensable man" at the center of this creeping UN power grab."[2]

However, he has subsequently revised his views, stating in 2005,
"Anyone still holding onto the idea that there is no global warming ought to hang it up."[3]

Bailey has stated in the article "Global Warming — Not Worse Than We Thought, But Bad Enough":

Details like sea level rise will continue to be debated by researchers, but if the debate over whether or not humanity is contributing to global warming wasn't over before, it is now.... as the new IPCC Summary makes clear, climate change Pollyannaism is no longer looking very tenable.[4]

However, he is critical of Al Gore and his film about global warming, writing, "On balance Gore gets it more right than wrong on the science (we'll leave the policy stuff to another time), but he undercuts his message by becoming the opposite of a global warming denier. He's a global warming exaggerator."[5]


I have said the same thing about Gore.... yet the responses here accuse me of advocating the end of western civilization....
