My Way News - Gore: Polluters Manipulate Climate Info

Here is a quote from this article:

“There has been an organized campaign, financed to the tune of about $10 million a year from some of the largest carbon polluters, to create the impression that there is disagreement in the scientific community,” Gore said at a forum in Singapore. “In actuality, there is very little disagreement.”

Gore likened the campaign to the millions of dollars spent by U.S. tobacco companies years ago on creating the appearance of scientific debate on smoking’s harmful effects.

“This is one of the strongest of scientific consensus views in the history of science,” Gore said. “We live in a world where what used to be called propaganda now has a major role to play in shaping public opinion.”

My observation, it’s interesting that Gore himself is using the same techniques that he says the oil companies are using. Consensus in science is meaningless. Science is, or should be, based on objective observation. When it starts being ideological, it is no longer science, it is religion. Gore is a modern day religious jealot. He watched Superman as a boy, and now imagines himeself to be like the father of Clark Kent, who stood against the establishment on Kronos, or whatever the home planet of Superman was. He’s living in some very strange kind of fantasy world in which he is a world savior, yet, his own lifestyle brands him as a collosal hypocrit.

It is most unfortunate that the debate has developed the way it has, as if people who care about the environment must believe in global warming, as opposed to those who don’t believe there is such a thing as global warming, at least how it is described, and that think there are other mechanisms driving climate change are lumped along with shameless polluters. This is a false dichotomy.

The ends never justify the means. If something is true, if something is right, then it stands on its own.
