Skeptics, including respected scientists, believe global warming is a hoax.
[Bill Gray] is often called the World's Most Famous Hurricane Expert...He's a towering figure in his profession and in person...[he says] he had the courage to say what [his colleauges] were afraid to admit. Which is this: Global warming is a hoax...He has testified about this to the United States Senate. He has written magazine articles, given speeches, done everything he could to get the message out...In just three, five, maybe eight years, he says, the world will begin to cool again...
...when you step into the realm of the skeptics, you find yourself on a parallel Earth. It is a planet where global warming isn't happening -- or, if it is happening, isn't happening because of human beings. Or, if it is happening because of human beings, isn't going to be a big problem. And, even if it is a big problem, we can't realistically do anything about it other than adapt...Climate change is normal and natural...
The skeptics don't have to win the argument, they just have to stay in the game, keep things stirred up and make sure the politicians don't pass any laws that have dangerous climate change as a premise. They're winning that battle...
The skeptics have a final trump in the argument: Climate change is actually good...
Somehow Hitler keeps popping into the discussion. Gore draws a parallel between fighting global warming and fighting the Nazis. Novelist Michael Crichton, in State of Fear , ends with an appendix comparing the theory of global warming to the theory of eugenics...[Bill Gray says] 'Gore believed in global warming almost as much as Hitler believed there was something wrong with the Jews.'"
