Bill isn't criticizing Israel, he's criticizing the public atmosphere in which Israel and Global Warming are not to be challanged, they're untouchable. Do you wonder why that is? There are many countries that have the same qualities as you listed, such as France, England, Germany, etc... But if a politician says something negative about the French no one cares. If they say something negative about Israel it's equivalent to committing political suicide. Strange, isn't it? Same with Global Warming. A politician can openly criticize evolution, a very well supported scientific theory, and no one really cares. But if they criticize the idea of global warming, which has very little science, they're considered uneducated, arrogant, not caring about our future, etc... Why is that?

You conflate natural events and political ones. El Niño and La Niña are names given to observed patterns that happen in the South Pacific with some periodicity.

These patterns get connected to increased or decreased amount of rainfall from the observed average taken over long time stretches.

Neither El Niño and La Niña have anything to do with either Global Warming, a geologic phenomena driven by changes in Sun forces, and Global Climate Change, a political action driven by men.

You can write many words that contradict mine, as you have. Yet, because you contradict does not mean what you write is truth.

You cannot go against truth. No amount of wishful thinking, wishful believing in false beliefs, hoping that men the earth over are evil is going to make the Fake Concept -- man-made global warming -- suddenly become a true one.

The story that CO2 causes global warming gets told to justify POLITICAL ACTION --

"Since CO2 causes climate change, Man causes CO2. Therefore, as political men with power over you,we have the right to regulate the actions of everyday persons, including you."

This is what Global Climate Change means.

I definitely believe in El Nino/La Nina and it's effects. I have seen quite a bit of doco on these things and they made sense. Although it is possible it is all just a part of a conspiracy to indoctrinate me, but these documentaries were not talking about Global Warming anyway, just weather patterns. It is my understanding that El Nino affects Australia and Peru at the least, are they not separated by the Pacific? To suggest that it affects every inch of the Pacific in profound ways would be a bit extreme of me though, its a pretty big ocean.

If I could be bothered to look up what a "shill" is, i'd answer your question accurately. But to make you happy "yep, 100% shill, to the core".

I don't really want to have a debate over this stuff, there are people who would argue this far better than I would, I just thought it was worth pointing out some stuff that I believe contradict your statements. It's okay, I am happy for everyone to believe what they will, it makes for a diverse society

You say: "Well, there never used to be choking smog in Beijing in those years either."

Truth: Smog is pollution phenomena, not heat.

You say: "The other problem with what you say is that there is no "history" of this being a problem."

Truth: I wrote, "In fact, during periods of global warming, humans FLOURISHED.

BECAUSE of Global Warming, Humans left the Iberian peninsula and populated what is present day British Isles.

And when Global Warming happened in the Middle Ages, the human head count increased rapidly, ensuring survival of our species. Men FLOURISHED "

You say: "What about El Nino/La Nina? The Pacific Ocean is a bit large for me to consider that to be 'local'."

Truth: El Niño and La Niña patterns NEVER HAPPEN over the whole of Pacific.

Also, when scientists discuss phenomena such as these, they say states are either [1] global (meaning all over the earth, found everywhere, pervasive) [2] local (meaning over some part of the earth, perhaps part of an ocean, part of a continent, perhaps pertinent to a stretch of coastline or a mountain range)

So readers of The Daily Reckoning Australia should wonder about you and your motives. Are you a shill? Are you indoctrinated?

The other problem with what you say is that there is no "history" of this being a problem. Well, there never used to be choking smog in Beijing in those years either. I get your point, but I think circumstances are much different now to our history.

There's no such thing as "Global Climate".

All climates are local. A climate is the seasonal pattern owing to the blend of prevailing winds and prevailing temperatures in relation to topographical forms.

Prevailing winds and temperatures relate solely to the where in time the earth is within its revolution around the sun.

Further, the only source of heat for the surface of earth is the sun.

In truth, the sun is the only source of heat for the Solar System (hence the name, ahem).

It's well known that the earth experiences BOTH global warming and global cooling.

No man can say if a rise in average earth surface temperature within the band of latitudes where most humans live will last [1] indefinitely [2] for 100 years [3] for TWO years [4] for 20 years.

The average earth surface temperature seems to be in free fall since 1998 as all evidence shows.

Yet wiithout doubt, the earth is experiencing a long run COOLING TREND. It was SO HOT 4.6 billion years ago that NO LIFE EXISTED on Earth.

The Global Warming Alarmists proffer a specious argument -- global warming will kill the human species. No evidence exists for this in the past. In fact, during periods of global warming, humans FLOURISHED.

BECAUSE of Global Warming, Humans left the Iberian peninsula and populated what is present day British Isles.

And when Global Warming happened in the Middle Ages, the human head count increased rapidly, ensuring survival of our species. Men FLOURISHED as they built massive cathedrals and grew wine grapes in Northern England.

Instead of learning how the sun works, the solar system works, how the sun is the only driver in mean surface temperature on the earth, folks in TV Land indoctrinate watchers into a faked Carbon Dioxide Scare Story.

If climate were global, you could grow wine grapes anywhere, anytime, in any soil, growing the same quality and quantity of grapes, regardless of the spot you chose.

Yet, you cannot grow grapes just anywhere. You need grape growing climates and those are few and far between. Climate is a LOCAL PHENOMENON, not a global one.
