Global warming is fake??? The majority of scientists say it isn't...

Here's some info for those of you that think it's not real based on the "science" you've investigated

Project Goal

A majority of the American public, including industry leadership, recognizes that significant uncertainties exist in climate science, and therefore raises questions among those (e.g. Congress) who chart the future U.S. course on global climate change.

Progress will be measured toward the goal. A measurement of the public's perspective on climate science will be taken before the plan is launched, and the same measurement will be taken at one or more as-yet-to-be-determined intervals as the plan is implemented,

Victory Will Be Achieved When

Average citizens "understand" (recognize) uncertainties in climate science; recognition of uncertainties becomes part of the "conventional wisdom"

Media "understands" (recognizes) uncertainties in climate science

Media coverage reflects balance on climate science and recognition of the validity of viewpoints that challenge the current "conventional wisdom"

Industry senior leadership understands uncertainties in climate science, making them stronger ambassadors to those who shape climate policy

Those promoting the Kyoto treaty on the basis of extent science appears to be out of touch with reality.

Current Reality

Unless "climate change" becomes a non-issue, meaning that the Kyoto proposal is defeated and there are no further initiatives to thwart the threat of climate change, there may be no moment when we can declare victory for our efforts. It will be necessary to establish measurements for the science effort to track progress toward achieving the goal and strategic success.

Here's a couple excerpt from another interesting report...

Lobbies heavily use the internet to spread their views. Every US emittershahaha8217; lobby has its own website. (15) Many of them try to obfuscate their character through the choice of a misleading name (e.g. the above-mentioned Global Climate Coalition) or the creation of research institutes. Besides their own researchers, they fund external research such as the famous climate "sceptics" in the USA. (16) For emittershahaha8217; lobbies it is quite easy to find that the costs of climate policy are high by using accepted economic models and pessimist assumptions about price elasticities or autonomous energy efficiency improvement. To bring their message to the voters, these lobbies use sophisticated campaigning methods such as ads, letters or even e-mail campaigns.

After Kyoto the American Petroleum Institute planned to launch a multi-year, $5.9 million strategic campaign (17) to convince the American public that climate change is scientifically unproven and thus climate policy is unnecessary. The campaign included an advertising blitz before the Conference of the Parties in Buenos Aires, the establishment of a "Global Climate Science Data Center" staffed by the member companies and the "recruiting" of five scientists that are not yet known as sceptics. All media were to be covered. A special focus was to be set on schools.

It's getting to the point where we can't believe anything we hear or read.
