The people at the H.I. have become completely deranged by only talking to themselves and dismissing out of hand everyone else. Here are their speakers for their upcoming climate conference at which attendees will learn the truth about CC: Speakers for this year’s conference include : Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-WI Dr. Harrison Schmitt, Apollo 17 mission Walter Cunningham, Apollo 7 mission Harold Doiron, former NASA scientist Thomas Wysmuller, former NASA scientist Joe Bastardi, chief forecaster, WeatherBell Roger Helmer, MP, Britain Donna Laframboise, feminist, author climateconference.heartland.org Not one climate scientist in the group (although there is a weather forecaster apparently). Another excerpt from their "Billboard" web site:4. But isn’t it true that 98 percent of climate scientists believe in global warming? No, this is just a myth that gets repeated over and over by global warming advocates. The alleged sources of this claim are two studies. One is a survey that didn’t ask if global warming is bad or even how much of past warming was man-made. That survey also excluded all but 79 (not a typo!) of the thousands of people who responded to it in order to arrive at the 98 percent figure. The other study reported the number of times global warming alarmists and realists appeared in academic journals, and found that a small group of alarmists appeared hundreds of times. That doesn’t mean they are more likely to be right. In fact, there are many reasons why realists appear to be published less often than alarmists. A detailed analysis of these two studies appears in this essay: “ The Myth of the 98%. ”
