"Global warming is like the SuperBowl: Every year the hype gets bigger, but the game is often a letdown."

"The message here is painfully simple. What the IPCC is doing is not science. It is politics - specifically, the politics of global governance. The IPCC is run by activist scientists, led by former president Clinton's former science-policy adviser Robert Watson, who are obsessed with the supposed threat of climate change. Moreover, because they believe the scare themselves and exhibit what amounts to religious fervor, they are dedicated to the concept that only a true global government can solve the problem. This is why they are leaders in the UNEP green machine.It is sad that these people are scaring people needlessly and causing our children to fear for their very future. There is a term for these IPCC scientists - "scaremongers." Scaremongers often are true believers, as these are. They have been recruited by UNEP, which is dedicated to, quite literally, taking over the world to save us from ourselves. It is UNEP's mission of global environmental governance, not climate change, that scares me." Source:Daily Insight 05/16/05

[edit] Key Deeds
[edit] December 12th, 2007
Wojick signed an open letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations alleging that that the "UN climate conference is taking the World in entirely the wrong direction." It claimed that the process resulting in the IPCC report was flawed, and that if Global Warming really was human-caused that energy would be better spent trying to mitigate the damage it would do, as opposed to trying to stop it. The letter was signed by 100 so-called "Prominent Scientists."
