Its a witch hunt!
Ahem....
Climate change will be considered a joke in five years time, meteorologist Augie Auer told the annual meeting of Mid Canterbury Federated Farmers in Ashburton this week.
Man's contribution to the greenhouse gases was so small we couldn't change the climate if we tried, he maintained.
"We're all going to survive this. It's all going to be a joke in five years," he said.
"It is time to attack the myth of global warming," he said.
Water vapour was responsible for 95 per cent of the greenhouse effect, an effect which was vital to keep the world warm, he explained.
"If we didn't have the greenhouse effect the planet would be at minus 18 deg C but because we do have the greenhouse effect it is plus 15 deg C, all the time."
The other greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and various others including CFCs, contributed only five per cent of the effect, carbon dioxide being by far the greatest contributor at 3.6 per cent.
However, carbon dioxide as a result of man's activities was only 3.2 per cent of that, hence only 0.12 per cent of the greenhouse gases in total. Human-related methane, nitrogen dioxide and CFCs etc made similarly minuscule contributions to the effect: 0.066, 0.047 and 0.046 per cent respectively.
"That ought to be the end of the argument, there and then," he said.
"We couldn't do it (change the climate) even if we wanted to because water vapour dominates."
"The Greens are really going to go after you because you put out 49 per cent of the countries emissions. Does anybody ask 49 per cent of what? Does anybody know how small that number is?
"It's become a witch-hunt; a Salem witch-hunt," he said.
To most of us, its already a joke.

It is no laughing matter when these people want to kill you and enslave your children.
The same group using the same tactics banned DDT, resulting in over 90 million dead, mostly children. Their proposels to stop global warming is akin to returning to the 19th century standard of living. You can't do that except by lethal force and the natural consequence of success is a 19th century/third world life span.
Death and slavery. It's no joke.

You're absolutely right Roci, it isn't funny, and when I said its a joke, I didn't mean a funny one.
Sadly, in this, the left's goal is on target with the goals of islam, and G-d help us if they succeed.

Pelosi looks like she just stepped out of her the sauna in her hotel, hence not only her comments, but the way she looks in that picture. What a ditz. Whenever I see her face, the "deer in the headlights" expression is so palpable!

Pelosi looks like she just turned 20 tricks at a school for the blind. Maybe she will share a Nobel prize with Algore. Anyway, I had fun calling her office this morning ang telling the staffer what a moron Pelosi is and that global warming is a new Piltdown Hoax.
