When You Want “Settled Science” Simply Ban Opposing Views

Intelligent people have known for some time that the whole notion of global warming being caused by man-made carbon dioxide is a farce, embedded in politics and driven by greed and the desire to capitalize on a faux crisis to make gobs of money. To justify the actions of those involved, including former Vice President Al Gore, they have for some time declared that anthropogenic global warming is settled science.

I never knew there was ever anything called settled science, as I see it as a dangerous and ignorant approach to anything. Suppose where we would be if scientists worldwide had settled on the initial science presented to them without offering any kind of challenge.

It now appears that the best way for global warming alarmists to protect their assumptions of settled science is to ban and/or stifle the opinions of anyone who disagrees. Such is the case for Dr. Mitchell Taylor, a recognized expert on polar bears, having dedicated 30 years to the study of the bears. Taylor has been banned from attending a meeting in Copenhagen of the Polar Bear Specialist Group (PBSG). The meeting’s objective is to formulate another theory to scare the public into further buying into the concept that global warming is killing all the polar bears because of melting sea ice. This they are hoping will set the stage for December’s United Nations climate change meeting, also to take place in Copenhagen.

One might ask why Dr. Taylor would be banned from such a meeting, being that he is an expert on polar bears. It seems that Dr. Taylor does not subscribe to melting sea ice or global warming as being caused by man. He says it’s natural. He also was one of 500 scientists who signed the Manhattan Declaration, a statement presented by 500 scientists from around the world willing to publicly state that climate change is natural. This obviously runs counter to the alarmists who aren’t interested in truth only to proceed with their agenda.

When opposing opinions are barred from debate, then global warming alarmists can better bolster their claims that the majority of the science community accepts man-made global warming and can label anyone willing to make any noise in opposition as some kind of whack-job, completely out of touch with the rest of the scientific world. (How many times have we heard about that in the history of world science? Columbus didn’t fall of the edge of the earth.)

As Christopher Booker wrote in an article about this in the Telegraph:

So, as the great Copenhagen bandwagon rolls on, stand by this week for reports along the lines of “scientists say polar bears are threatened with extinction by vanishing Arctic ice”

As an FYI, did you know that the average temperature of the Arctic at mid-summer is averaging below 0 – C? This hasn’t happened in 50 years of record keeping.
