Copenhagen Cop15 conference overshadows global cooling

As concerns about climate change and global warming increase, Copenhagen, Denmark, will host the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Nearly 200 nations will be represented for the 12-day meeting beginning Dec. 7, including two MU professors who are attending the conference as observers.

What's troublesome is the talks at this meeting will be about how to stop global warming, when in fact, what little global warming there was has already changed into global cooling.

Although the UN, agenda-set scientists and Al Gore are running around in a panic spewing out nonsense about how the earth is getting too hot, all the evidence tells us our planet is getting colder, and we are beginning a period of global cooling.

One would think the scientists and other experts researching the planet would want to put forth information that best serves earth and humanity.

Instead, they care more about being right and are covering up the truth.

Hackers recently dug up e-mails from global warming scientists, and the information in those e-mails is startling. These "experts" were scared to death because their research told them how wrong they are about global warming and they expressed their concerns about it to each other.

Instead of admitting scientific evidence proves the earth is cooling and they all were in panic mode for nothing, those e-mails were deleted, information tossed out and global cooling advocates threatened.

Scientists at the United Kingdom's Climate Research Unit confessed to throwing out most temperature information on which their claims of global warming are based. Instead of being able to fact-check their claims, we have no choice but to take their word.

If their claims were true, why would they hide their trails like this?

At conferences and other meetings of the minds, the few scientists standing up for the truth are summarily excluded by the environmentalist nut jobs who insist global warming is going to kill us all. These clowns refuse to shake hands with or even acknowledge researchers who don't subscribe to the global warming conspiracy, creating a scene reminiscent of middle school girls on the playground.

Some scientists have even been threatened — critics have been stalked via e-mail and have received threats of physical harm to them and their families.

If that wasn't enough, the Environmental Protection Agency has launched a massive operation to make sure scientific evidence they don't like is hidden and never sees the light of day.

The Competitive Enterprise Institute completed a study earlier this year, but the EPA quickly silenced the results and the study's author. According to internal messages released by the CEI, the EPA kept this research quiet which suggested the EPA's information was outdated and inaccurate because it was feeling pressure from who else but the Obama administration.

If you don't think there's anything fishy going on, also consider the CEI was finally able to release its report without the EPA on June 26, which is the exact day the cap-and-trade bill passed in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Although scientists use evidence to warn us the earth is cooling (Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera of Mexico warns of what he calls a "mini ice age" in roughly a decade), fanatics are panicking about how their stance is crumbling and will do anything to stop it.
