CORRECTION: We corrected this article to address inaccuracies brought to our attention after a reader cited fact-checking research by the organization Politifact.
Politifact‘s Jon Greenberg explains that the original source of the news article we referenced was a straightforward petition asking the U.S. government to reject the 1997 Kyoto agreement on global warming. The signatories of the petition rejected the claim there was convincing scientific evidence of global warming caused by human-released greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide or methane. The petition did not mention the notion of a hoax for financial gain:
An article on the News Punch website said that “30,000 scientists have come forward confirming that man-made climate change is a hoax perpetuated by the elite in order to make money.” The source is a well-known petition project.
The key flaw is that the petition challenges the science, but it doesn’t cast human-driven climate change as a hoax aimed at making some people rich. That is pure interpretation by the website.
Greenberg also points out that the statistics presented at the Global Warming Petition Project, which circulated and published the results of the petition, include signatories whose training and accreditation outside the discipline of climate science. Some who signed the petition may not have pursued a career in science, let alone the narrower field of climate science.
The left has long used “environmentalism” as a way to force liberal public policy. They cite the need to protect the Earth as justification for higher taxes, harsher regulations, and bigger government. The theory of global warming may have been the most fruitful blessing the left have ever received from the scientific community.
Many key leftist policies can be linked, somehow, to climate change. They’ve even managed to popularize a derogatory term for those who are skeptical of the scientific theory, “Climate change deniers.”
Unfortunately for the left, some of the “deniers” are well-educated folks who have given the matter sober thought. Among the “denier” ranks are over 30,000 who signed the petition by the Global Warming Petition Project affirming their belief that “There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”
You can read the full petition form on the Global Warming Petition Project site and learn more about the project on their FAQ page.
Politicians and climate-change activists promote the statistic that over 97% of scientists agree with the theory of climate change as if science is a popularity contest in which consensus is more important than discoveries backed up by evidence from repeatable experimentation. This does a great disservice to the real, dedicated scientists who seek to question, observe, and explore the world and to understand phenomena through the results of rigorous experiments.

Pray for America thank God we still have our Constitution
Back in 1969, a group of Black Panthers decided that a fellow black panther named Alex Rackley needed to die. Rackley was suspected of disloyalty.
Rackley was first tied to a chair. Once safely immobilized, his friends tortured him for hours by, among other things, pouring boiling water on him.
When they got tired of torturing Rackley, Black Panther member, Warren Kimbro took Rackley outside and put a bullet in his head. Rackley’s body was later found floating in a river about 25 miles north of New Haven, Connecticut.
Perhaps at this point you’re curious as to what happened to these Black Panthers?
In 1977, that’s only eight years later, only one of the killers was still in jail.
The shooter, Warren Kimbro, managed to get a scholarship to Harvard and became good friends with none other than Al Gore. He later became an assistant dean at an Eastern Connecticut State College.
Isn’t that something!!! As a ’60s radical you can pump a bullet into someone’s head and a few years later, in the same state, you can become an assistant college dean! Only in America!
Erica Huggins was the woman who served the Panthers by boiling the water for Mr. Rackley’s torture. Some years later Ms. Huggins was elected to a California School Board. How in the world do you think these killers got off so easily?
Maybe it was in some part due to the efforts of two people who came to the defense of the Panthers.
These two people actually went so far as to shut down Yale University with demonstrations in defense of the accused Black Panthers during their trial.
One of these people was none other than Bill Lan Lee. Mr. Lee, or Mr. Lan Lee, as the case may be, isn’t a college dean. He isn’t a member of a California School Board. He is the head of the United States Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, appointed by none other than Bill Clinton.
O.K., so who was the other Panther defender?
Is this other notable Panther defender now a school board member?
Is this other Panther apologist now an assistant college dean?
No, neither!The other Panther defender was, like Lee, a radical law student at Yale University at the time. She is none other than the former Secretary of State and former Democratic senator from the State of New York —- the former First Lady, the incredible Hillary Clinton Democrat’.
And now, as Paul Harvey said; “You know the rest of the story”.
Oh wait…. there is still $$$ to be made… so says the big fat man!!!!
NO ITS NOT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE HALF THE OIL OUT OFF AN IINTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE IT HEATS UP ITS THE SAME WITH EARTH
What the hell do u think he is ?!
Another liberal crooked!
Its another money laundering scheme of our federal govt.
Made Al Gore rich.
