The catastrophe case is not founded in scientific evidence, but it’s promulgated in talking points by Democratic politicians and ideological ‘scientists’ as if it were. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur.”

These scandals, and false statements, cast doubt on what I call the “catastrophe case.” The American Physical Society’s policy statement is exemplary: “’The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. It’s likely that there will be further revelations from this new information. Recently the Daily Telegraph reported that there was another trove of Climategate emails, which it dubbed Climategate II. When scientists clamored to examine their raw data, the CRU claimed that it had been “lost.” Without raw data available for peer review, it’s impossible to evaluate their conclusions for accuracy and scientific rigor. The evidence in the emails points towards an effort on the part of the scientists in question to manipulate the data in order to show a clearer relationship between man-made greenhouse gases and a warming planet. In 2009, an anonymous hacker stole e-mails from the University of East Anglia, home of the Climate Research Unit, an important disseminator of science on climate change. The hockey stick graph predicted an exponential increase in global temperature, and has been extensively debunked.įurther complicating the picture is the Climategate scandal. The granddaddy of them all was the infamous “hockey stick” graph, the product of the now-discredited Michael Mann, who recently threatened to sue the National Review for libel after they published an article critiquing his scientific integrity and role in climate scandals.

Global warmists (to borrow James Taranto’s excellent term) continue to thunder into the political debate with an argument of ironclad scientific certitude, but their claims are often overblown.

The liberal gap between rhetoric and reality, never narrow, had become too enormous to sustain, even with a favorable media and a stranglehold on academia. In the succeeding half-decade, support declined precipitously. Until the 2007 release of An Inconvenient Truth, a solid majority of Americans believed that global warming was happening, and that it was a serious problem. The Washington Post, no bastion of conservatism, gave Gore a Pinocchio on its website for these claims. Gore claimed that the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina was attributable to global warming. He claimed that scientists were certain the famous Snows of Kilimanjaro were melting because of global warming. Gore claimed, falsely, that entire islands in Micronesia had to be evacuated. In 2007, a British High Court referred to this claim as “alarmist misleading.” It is possible that a rise in sea level will submerge Florida, one day, but that this event will occur over millennia. One of the most arresting images from that documentary was the time-elapse footage of the state of Florida being gradually submerged by a rapid rise in the sea level. It’s no secret that Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize for his documentary on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.
