What the Great Climate Change Hoax may represent is the death knell of the latest in a long line of environmental scares, the idea that human activity is raising the temperature of the planet. The revelation of the damning emails describing how pro global warming scientists concealed data that tended to cast doubt on human caused global warming has ruined quite a few plans by public policy entrepreneurs who were very sure that global warming or climate change was going to be the impetus for remaking society and making money.
Mind, it may take a while for the Great Climate Change Hoax to stop twitching and become actually dead. President Barack Obama was still talking about addressing the nonexistent problem of human caused climate change. People like Al Gore who saw stoking the fears of global warming as a means to get rich are not going to give up the gravy train very easily. But as James Delingpole warned in the Telegraph, it's time to dump all shares of alternative energy companies. They are likely to become this decade's equivalent of the dot.com bubble.
Sadly the demise of the Great Climate Change Hoax will mean that a lot of art, great and cheesy, will no longer be quite the same. Roland Emmerich's overblown global warming epic, "The Day After Tomorrow", which paradoxically depicts a new ice age, will seem even sillier than it did when it first came out. "An Inconvenient Truth" looks more like science fiction every day. One wonders whether the Academy can revoke Al Gore's Oscar. And the South Park guys are going to have to retire "Manbearpig", unless Al Gore seizes upon another environmental crisis to stoke for the benefit of his fame and his own pocketbook.
Both fortunately and sadly there will always be another environmental crisis to argue about and to lie about. In the 1970s it was the coming ice age. Then it was global warming. Then it was the Great Climate Change Hoax. What the inventive folks in the environmental movement will come up with can only be guessed at.
My suggestion is to sound the alarm of the Climate Not Changing Crisis. We know from history that the climate is always changing, cooling in some eras, warming in others. It's a natural cycle that does not seem to be altered much, if at all, by human activity.
But what is the environmentalists can massage some data, make up some computer models, and convince some credulous journalists that the climate is not changing and that is going to be a crisis if allowed to continue. Then the environmentalists can divide into two camps, one for making things cooler, the other for making things warmer.
I can see the birth of a new industry, more profitable than the Great Climate Change Hoax ever was.

Neo-conservatives don't care about freedom. They're fascists. War profiteers. Oil profiteers. You are being herded like cattle to the slaughterhouse, fool!
31,072 scientists (including over 9,000 Ph.D.s) have signed a strong petition REJECTING the AGW religion. Contact: Audrey Mullen, 703-548-1160, at the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine for details. See http://www.petitionproject.org/index.php for lists of signers by name, qualifications, and state.
THE PETITION STATES
"We urge the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth's atmosphere and disruption of the Earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric car
The evidence for global warming is not just numbers on a graph. There are countless photographs of glaciers melting and polar ice caps disappearing. The data supporting global warming is everywhere if you will only look. There are huge climate changes taking place that are happening as environmental pollution increases. So if American fools will not listen and respond to the obvious, then let the rest of the world sanction us. The economy is dieing anyway, and nothing will ever be the same. We had our chance, but American conservatives blew it. Now all we can do is hand over a deeply damaged and dieing planet over to our children.
Time is getting short and it is coming down to the fact, that soon I will have to pray to the good Lord to maintain our freedoms an not allow our leaders to sign the Copenhagen Treaty, which will take away our liberties, let go and let God-this being a challenge to our Lord and Saviour? However, while there is still time to prevent the loss of a lifetime, perhaps loss of life it's self - I will do what I am able to fight for our freedoms! The whole Climate change agenda is a proven fraud but the United Nations and Globalist governments don't care as that is just the excuse instrument they have used to ensnare us! Has everybody out there become a tree hugger? Anyone out there want to fight and maintain their freedom anymore? Please do all you can to preserve freedom in North America!

Dear Sarah,
In this peer-reviewed article, you have been deemed an idiot.
Since this is peer-reviewed then it must be the absolute truth. Right?
The wheels have been coming off the AGW/Climate Change bus for a while now and the latest email revelations hopefully will send it off a cliff. Reality can't be found in the models of those AGW 'scientists' and, yes, the quotes are necessary because real scientists would not abandon the scientific method. A legitimate cause doesn't require massaging data and suppressing dissent.
Ed Begley Jr. was interviewed by Stuart Varney recently and Ed's behavior was representative of the entire psuedo-religion of AGW. He shouted and ranted nearly the entire interview. As more evidence mounts of the lack of warming, the lack of causal connection between anthropogenic CO2 and global temp and malfeasance by AGW proponents watch for an even more shrill and frantic push by the power-mad promoters of the biggest hoax yet.
Too many have their livelihoods, egos and power grab plans tied to forcing this lie down the world's throat.
Unfortunately some people got very rich off this scam while others lost jobs. Of course the little people get hurt the most. I believe charges should be laid against the scientists or any business people who helped to deceive the masses. There are always going to be Sarah's who let a cause rule their life. Hopefully she can move on.
I still think we should be aware of pollution and its effect on the world and strive to get that problem under control.
Al gore is making billions out of this big scam. The planet is actually getting colder not warmer but climate does change but global warming is not real unless proven by scientist without special interest. The global warming and green energy is just another reason to sell books, pass laws that will benefit al gore's carbon credit scam.
Al Gore has, in the last few years, become a very, very rich man, thanks in large part to a number of investments he's made in companies that profit when governments make policy driven by climate-change panic.
Sarah, do you also read the works of the 30,000+ scholars that do not believe in anthropogenic global warming? Here's a starting point for you, instead of name-calling, unsubstantially discrediting real scientists, and religiously accepting Al Gore's fodder with predeturmined conclusions, accept that people sometimes do not have our collective interest in mind, especially so when they can make extensive profit. However, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, which is apparently more than you believe of us. You can sell your car, build a windmill, and install solar panels to your house if you want, it's your right as an American. I can buy a SUV, leave my lights on all night, and air condition my house with the window open if I want, that's my right as an American. It's time we address the real problems of this country, like ManBearPig.
