Default AGW: Unverified, Remote, And Abstract Dangers

QUOTE: "environmentalists have been duped into promoting global warming
as a crisis"

The global warming scare machine is now so tenuous, that other liberal
environmental scientists and activists are now joining Giegengack and
refuting the entire basis for man-made global warming concerns.

Denis G. Rancourt professor of physics and an environmental science
researcher at the University of Ottawa, believes the global warming
campaign does a disservice to the environmental movement.

Rancourt wrote on February 27, 2007: "Promoting the global warming myth
trains people to accept unverified, remote, and abstract dangers in the
place of true problems that they can discover for themselves by becoming
directly engaged in their workplace and by doing their own research and
observations. It trains people to think lifestyle choices (in relation
to CO2 emission) rather than to think activism in the sense of exerting
an influence to change societal structures." (LINK)

Rancourt believes that global warming "will not become humankind's
greatest threat until the sun has its next hiccup in a billion years or
more in the very unlikely scenario that we are still around." He also
noted that even if C02 emissions were a grave threat "government action
and political will cannot measurably or significantly ameliorate global
climate in the present world."

Most significantly, however, Rancourt -- a committed left-wing activist
and scientist -- believes environmentalists have been duped into
promoting global warming as a crisis. Rancourt wrote: "I argue that by
far the most destructive force on the planet is power-driven financiers
and profit-driven corporations and their cartels backed by military
might; and that the global warming myth is a red herring that
contributes to hiding this truth. In my opinion, activists who, using
any justification, feed the global warming myth have effectively been
co-opted, or at best neutralized."

"Global warming is strictly an imaginary problem of the First World
middleclass," Rancourt added.

Finally, Rancourt asserted that in a warm world, life prospers. "There
is no known case of a sustained warming alone having negatively impacted
an entire population," he said, "As a general rule, all life on Earth
does better when it's hotter: Compare ecological diversity and biotic
density (or biomass) at the poles and at the equator," he added.

Indeed, 2007 has turned into the "tipping point" for the unsubstantiated
fears and gross distortion of science by activists who have committed
decades trying to convince the world it faced a man-made climate crisis.
Rancourt so eloquently summed up the movement as one featuring
"Unverified, remote, and abstract dangers."

A self-avowed anarchist? You really are desperate.

And he has no formal education or training in atmospheric science.
He's published no scientific papers on climate.

And he's rather nutty. Check out http://uofowatch.blogspot.com/
