Why do people think global warming is a hoax?
Gore says there is a layer of CO2 in the atmosphere that gets thicker with more CO2 and that makes it trap more heat. That simplistic model is total distortion of reality. CO2 absorbs most of the heat it can absorb from the ground in the first 10 meters. Essentially all of the heat from the ground is absorbed in the first few hundred meters. Gore is certainly not a scientist but he presents his simplistic distorted presentation as scientific and much of it was invented by scientists obviously for propaganda purposes. Is that distortion a hoax or just gross incompetence? Water is a much more important greenhouse gas and absorbs the heat in less the distance. Heat from the ground also conducts directly to the atmosphere and is transferred by movement of molecules or convection. When you increase the amount of greenhouse gases, all you do is compress the range at which they absorb the bands to extinction. You still have the convection spreading the heat so that is mitigated.

OK, here’s a dose of reality. Scientists are not angels, they are ordinary people employed in a highly political field. What tends to happen is researchers produce theories which would have important consequences if these theories were proved to be true. The next stage is that they try to gather evidence to support these theories. As we live in the real world, the process of scientific discovery will inevitably be influenced by what’s sexy, what’s profitable and what’s politically expedient, What AGW alarmism says is we don’t care if these researchers find evidence or not. The fact that a number of researchers will get behind this theory is proof enough. Anthropogenic global warming (much like other theories like life on Mars) was derived from a genuine scientific process of discovery, however just like life on Mars, there’s no evidence that significant man made global warming exists and it very likely that we’ll never find it no matter how many billions we spend on research.

AGW became a hoax because of the likes of Al Gore. Exaggerating claims from unreliable climate models, fallacies of polar bears drowning in a farce of a documentary, and all this for for the noble cause of making Al richer. Jacques Chirac-“For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance,” Chirac explained. “From the very earliest age, we should make environmental awareness a major theme of education and a major theme of political debate, until respect for the environment comes to be as fundamental as safeguarding our rights and freedoms. By acting together, by building this unprecedented instrument, the first component of an authentic global governance, we are working for dialogue and peace,” “A climate change response must have at its heart a redistribution of wealth and resources,” said Emma Brindal, a climate justice campaigner coordinator for Friends of the Earth.
