Did I get that right, Mr. Gore?

A liberal moonbat that likes to hang out in chat rooms of Conservative BlogTalkRadio shows like Political Pistachio Radio made a comment a few shows back that caught me of guard when the subject turned to man-made Global Warming. He said, "Scientists that dispute global warming are being paid off by the oil companies."

It is so idiotic that I was unable to formulate a response at the time.

Such a statement runs in line with the "Bush Lied" argument. It is a favorite among the Leftist methods - Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth.

Well, my liberal friends, think about it. If every scientist in the world that ever disputed man-made global warming was on big oil payrolls, that would be some kind of payroll. And you would think, for the extra money, many of those scientists proclaiming that humans are at fault for temperature changes would jump ship in order to cash in as well.

Of course, there is also the overlooked point that there is no proof, no evidence, no data, and no documentation of any kind to support the claim that "all scientists disputing global warming are being paid off by big oil companies."

In the meantime, let's take a look at a few facts.

Global Warming says: Al Gore predicted that Hurricanes would become stronger and more frequent with each passing year because of Global Warming.

Fact: Hurricane predictions have missed the mark for the last two years since that prediction, humbling hurricane forecasters, and dumbfounding Global Warming Activists.

Global Warming says: Al Gore proclaimed that as the earth warms the winters will be warmer as well.

Fact: Ice storm causes blackouts, 27 deaths, and more icy weather is on the way. The Northeast is preparing to experience a double winter whammy, and winter has only just begun.

Global Warming says: Al Gore indicates that the international community must move now to combat global warming.

Fact: Skeptical Scientists urge world to have the courage to do nothing. Climate change, according to these scientists, is a non-problem, and the U.N. Conference is a complete waste of our time and your money, and we should no longer pay the slightest attention to the IPCC.

Global Warming says: There is a consensus. . .

Fact: Pope Benedict XVI has even launched a surprise attack on the clerics of Global Warming, saying that such ideas need to be based on firm evidence and not on dubious ideology. The Pope also indicated that Global Warming fears are nothing more than scare-mongering. People need to care for the environment, but not to the point where the welfare of animals and plants are given priority over mankind.

Global Warming says: Al Gore is doing all of this because he believes it is his duty to do whatever he can to save the planet.

Fact: Al Gore is under fire for making personal gain from his mission to save the planet.

Global Warming says: Mankind's greenhouse gas emissions is the main cause of Climate Change.

Fact: The sun, not man, is the main cause of any increase in global temperature.

Repeat a lie often enough, and it becomes the truth - or at least until common sense, and true science, proves it wrong.

I'll believe Mr. Gore that mankind can change the temperature of the entire planet by emitting less than one percent of the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere when Hell freezes over.
