ACADEMIC CONSENSUS, ANTI-ZIONISM AND MAN MADE GLOBAL WARMING

The consensus at most "Middle Eastern Studies" departments (dominated as they are by Arabists and post-Edward Said "orientalists") is that Israel is a pariah state and an outpost of Western colonialism. This is false - but it is the consensus.

It's the same BS with so called anthropogenic global warming (AGW) crowd. Most climatology departments are dominated by 1970's ecologists and post-modern leftists who have a diathesis for hating industrialization. Hence their predisposition for blaming industrial West for natural climate change.

But, consensus is NOT how the truth is found. Consensus is a POLITICAL tool, not a scientific one. And scientific tests have proven that cosmic rays have more to do with atmospheric water vapor and that water vapor is a more potent temperature carrier than CO2.

The AGW crowd doesn't want the truth; they want to shackle the economies of the West. to their Leftist schemes and they're demagogically trying to foment climate hysteria to get governments around the world to pass laws that will accomplish this.

WE MUSTN'T LET THEM.

Need more convincin'? THEN WATCH THIS (HAT TIP TIM BLAIR):
5.5 minutes from the BBC, with Al Gore and Branson trying to scare us into taking actions they like, followed by PETER HITCHENS DEBUNKING THE ENTIRE "AGW" CROWD.
(If you hate Gore - or are bored with his rap, then FF to 5.5 minutes and watch Hitchens: HE IS MUST SEE TV!)

STILL NEED MORE PROOF "AGW" IS BS? THEN READ THIS FROM THE NYTIMES. EXCEPT (hat tip Glenn):
Greenland isn’t melting as fast as we feared.

It was big news when the rate of melting suddenly doubled in 2004 as ice sheets began moving more quickly into the sea. That inspired predictions of the imminent demise of Greenland’s ice — and a catastrophic rise in sea level.

But a paper published online this afternoon by Science reports that two of the largest glaciers have suddenly slowed, bringing the rate of melting last year down to near the previous rate.

At one glacier, Kangerdlugssuaq, “average thinning over the glacier during the summer of 2006 declined to near zero, with some apparent thickening in areas on the main trunk.”
REPEAT: AGW IS BS.
