the United Nations”. And yet for years and unexplained reasons, America has simply agreed to foot the bill for an
organization, with an international cadre of fellow international travelers, who take delight in giving standing ovations to two-bit dictators
and assorted despots from around the world while seeminly enjoying
their opposition to America’s vision of freedom and democracy.
The U.N. was also very aware of their tarnished reputation that
resulted from that ever growing list of international scandals. As they
unrolled “Agenda 21” with all of its socialist/communist philosophy,
they studiously avoided being an overt presence in the climate hysteria
of the 1980s and 90s. But the globalists were nonetheless working
furiously behind their “green curtain”, pulling the levers and making
lots of threatening noises to cause climate panic around the world.
The U.N.’s claims of Acid Rain or a Hole in the Ozone layer were
boosted by the scientific information spoon-fed to the world for two
decades by that shadowy group of scholars gathered under the relatively innocuous name, “The International Panel on Climate Change”
—the IPCC. They were clever enough not to call the panel a U.N.
study group, thereby avoiding the general mistrust of the U.N.’s
branding and instead referring to it as an “international” panel.
“Climate Change” eventually replaced and updated the more general threat of “Global Warming” as put forth in Agenda 21 because,
quite honestly, the planet was not cooperating. For 16 of the last 18
years, scientists tell us the earth simply has not warmed. In fact, they
tell us that more recently, global temperatures have started to fall.
Conversely, this meant the newest environmental threat was actually
as old as the first Earth Day. Was our planet heading for a “Global
Cooling” period that the Ice Agers predicted lo, those many years ago?
Yet not to be dissuaded from the necessity for the Global Warming
debate, global environmentalists recently released temperature readings claiming America’s temperatures in 2012 were the warmest in
history, certain proof that global warming was indeed happening. And
to add even more evidence to their argument, in late October of 2012,
two weather fronts combined to create an unprecedented storm called
“Hurricane Sandy”. There indeed was the obvious proof—dangerous
storms increasing, ocean levels rising, and no doubt, “the sky was falling”. Once again the environmental hand wringers roared on national
television, “Beware, we are destroying the planet and we must take
action now!”
However, to repudiate those claims, scientists—bona fide ones—
were quick to remind us, if the U.S. had an unusually warm spate of
weather for one or two years, it doesn’t mean the rest of the planet is
overheating. Our country actually makes up about 1.6% of the total
earth’s surface. In fact, climate records actually show the hottest days
ever recorded in American history was in the1930s at the start of the
Industrial Revolution, before there was smog and little air pollution.
Then, New York City temperatures were over one hundred degrees
for weeks at a time and in the southwestern United States, the Dust
Bowl occurred because of the record heat and drought. Nothing quite
as catastrophic has happened in America since.
I received an interesting chart and email from Dr. Roy Spencer,
who has for many years approached the environmental dooms-day
prophets with a mostly skeptical eye. In early 2013, while the television newscasters were touting the preceding year as the hottest year
on record…ever, he wrote, “Since 1979, NOAA satellites have been
carrying instruments which measure the natural microwave thermal emissions from oxygen in the atmosphere,” says his note. “John
Christy and I update global temperature datasets that represent the
piecing together of the temperature data from a total of eleven
