thinkprogress.org — Today, Dr. Julie Gerberding, director of the CDC, testified before the Senate on the "Human Impacts of Global Warming." But CDC officials are now revealing that the White House heavily edited Gerberding’s testimony, which originally was longer and had more "information on health risks." “It was eviscerated,” said one official.

I've had enough of this Global Warming BS already. If the Gov't is ignoring it, why did they let her talk about it at all?Global Warming is about as factual as a Flat Earth Society meeting.

Hey Silver Standard, don't bother these people with facts they 'conveniently' don't want to use! Don't you know how this propaganda works?

There are no computer models that show global warming without omitting data from volcanic activity. you can believe in global warming or volcanoes. Not both.

The assault on the scientific community that studies climate over the brief space in time that we have any metrics are losing out to the world banks who have discovered that hype and fear herds nations into real taxes on fake issues. The so called Carbon Tax has been designed to address a completely fraudulent threat created by the same institutions that fund the scientists who need grants and donations to survive. Every scientist who has had the courage to combat this hoax has been excommunicated from the scientific community and had their funding halted entirely. Al Gore may believe every word he speaks, but the facts are simply in complete contradiction to the evidence. The World Banks are trying to create the next level of taxed repression on the people of this planet in order to further degradate and control their ability to move against them in a time of crisis otherwise known as tyranny. Here are some very simple facts about how the hoax is done, and how the truth makes their claims impossible. Consequently numerous scientists (who no longer have funded work) have offered to challenge the governments around the world to contest their claims, and no group has shown up to a single debate.Fraudulent claims: Carbon dioxide creates / promotes global warming. Nothing could be further from the truth. Carbon dioxide makes plant life thrive. The plants on our planet right now evolved with Carbon dioxide levels 10 times what they are now. Scientists who have put plants inside Carbon dioxide tents have noticed a huge spike in their overall growth, girth, and oxygen output. Scientists have calculated that if we burned all the fossil fuels available on Earth at once, there would be no measurable threat to mankind on day 2 of the experiment. Plants everywhere would triple in size and oxygen output. The polar ice caps melting proves that global warming is real, and therefore is a threat to our temperature and sea levels. Scientists at the poles who aren’t worried about government funding have been studying the ice melting history for decades. They have discovered that the ice nearer to the center of the poles is actually less than 100 years old, indicating and PROVING that our caps melt nearly down to the center every single century. They put out a report in the early 90s documenting this exact fact. The temperatures are going up every year. Wrong, they are staying relatively the same, if not getting cooler. How can this be? Those who wish to perpetuate the hoax in lieu of the global tax benefit, are taking temperature samples from within cities, which are known as Urban Islands. They get this name because they are built on cement landscapes that are .5 Celsius hotter than the rest of the surrounding terrain. Through out a single year the temperatures are chaotic, going up and down throughout the monthly calendar. Those who “need” to report spikes, simply take samples of lows in the beginning of the year and highs at the end of the year. They also have been caught red handed selecting only the hottest peaks globally to sustain their data sets. Despite being caught by the handful of honest scientists, this is never reported publicly. True Facts About Climate Control Mother Earth Style:Plants love Carbon dioxide. They make more oxygen, and grow greater photosynthesizing surfaces. More heat means more clouds. If there was a sudden spike in global warming, the level of vapor evaporation would also spike. When this happens you get more clouds. More cumulus clouds. Clouds reflect Radiation. Cumulus clouds reflect massive levels of radiation from the sun; radiation that causes heat, thus blocking it out, this causing cooler temperatures, and more freezing ice. Al Gore misrepresented this fact in his film when he illustrated rays going through clouds strong enough to hold them in, bouncing off the ocean, and miraculously getting trapped underneath. A child can figure out that if a cloud can trap a ray, it can block a ray BEFORE it enters, and that indeed is the truth. Gore’s graphic / mechanic for global warming is fraudulent at its core.The planet Earth is a perfectly balanced living being. It goes through natural cycles of heating and cooling. It has suffered greater annoyances than man and survived to create a perfectly inhabitable climate for creatures to thrive in for hundreds of millions of years. The sun is also going through a small stage of heating, which is causing all planets in our system to endure hotter temperature SPIKES, esp. those that don’t have atmospheres like Earth. These spikes could be responsible for momentary hot spots on Earth IF a corona happen to blast Earth on that particular week. None of the suns behaviors to date are effecting Earth’s climate in a consistent global manner. The head of NASA has publicly come out against the notion that global warming is real. This is no small feet for a person of his stature. YES, we need to clean up the air. YES, we need to get off of oil, and onto Stan Meyers hydrogen engines. BUT, a TAX is not going to solve anything. It will cause further repression for the citizens of this world, and further drive them into a complicit life where facts simply don’t matter.Does anyone remember the hype of the 70s? It was the next Ice Age (<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling).">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_cooling).</a>

We should not act as if these scientists were telling us the truth. The truth is that no computer model exists that uses volcanic activity in their data and shows global warming. You can either believe in global warming or volcanoes. Not both.
