Libertarian author and radio host Neal Boortz has an interesting take on the recently discovered global warming data:

Look at it this way:  If this was really about global warming you would think that the activists would be relieved, and even angry to find out that much of the information they’ve been fed about a warming world has been manufactured and faked.  You would take comfort in the fact that the earth is actually cooling, not warming. It would be much like being told that you don’t have cancer after all.  You would be relieved.  But if your true motivation has nothing to do with the environment you wouldn’t be so happy.  If your true motivation is the destruction of free enterprise and the promotion of socialism and communism you would see these hacked emails and other proof that the global warming scare has been completely manufactured as a threat to your true goals. You would perceive that threat and react strongly against it.  Watch the global warming crowd and observe how they’re reacting to a cooling earth and evidence of fraud.  Not with relief, but with anger.  That should tell you a lot.

Also from Nealz Nuze this morning, A Few Little Earth Factoids:

We, in our present form, have walked the earth for about 120,000 years.  During that time there have been 20 sudden global warmings.  In most of these sudden warmings the temperatures rose by about 18 degrees over a span of 20 years.  Right now the Copenhagen Clowns are freaking out over a rise of 1.5 degrees in 100 years.

There have been about 142 mass extinctions since life began on the earth about 3.8 billion years ago.  These mass extinctions were not caused by man.  They were caused by nature.
