Astronaut Senator: “Global Warming Scare Used As A Political Tool To Increase Government Power”

Make no mistake. Leftists are nothing short of agents of the Devil. Tney are like the cannbalistic, lunatic, human monsters in “Dawn of the Dead”, driven to their rabid Gollum-like state by the spiritual pathology of Atheism, and the intellectual pathology of its political manifestation, Leftism.

Politics is the instrument of religion. The political struggle we are witnessing in America, Left vs Right, is the manifestation of a larger religious struggle, the battle between those who believe in the psychopathic narcissism of atheism and those who believe in a God above.

Boston Herald:

SANTA FE, N.M. – Former astronaut Harrison Schmitt, who walked on the moon and once served New Mexico in the U.S. Senate, doesn’t believe that humans are causing global warming.

“I don’t think the human effect is significant compared to the natural effect,” said Schmitt, who is among 70 skeptics scheduled to speak next month at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York.

Schmitt contends that scientists “are being intimidated” if they disagree with the idea that burning fossil fuels has increased carbon dioxide levels, temperatures and sea levels.

“They’ve seen too many of their colleagues lose grant funding when they haven’t gone along with the so-called political consensus that we’re in a human-caused global warming,” Schmitt said.

Dan Williams, publisher with the Chicago-based Heartland Institute, which is hosting the climate change conference, said he invited Schmitt after reading about his resignation from The Planetary Society, a nonprofit dedicated to space exploration.

Schmitt resigned after the group blamed global warming on human activity. In his resignation letter, the 74-year-old geologist argued that the “global warming scare is being used as a political tool to increase government control over American lives, incomes and decision making.”

Williams said Heartland is skeptical about the crisis that people are proclaiming in global warming.

“Not that the planet hasn’t warmed. We know it has or we’d all still be in the Ice Age,” he said. “But it has not reached a crisis proportion and, even among us skeptics, there’s disagreement about how much man has been responsible for that warming.”

Schmitt said historical documents indicate average temperatures have risen by 1 degree per century since around 1400 A.D., and the rise in carbon dioxide is because of the temperature rise.

Schmitt also said geological evidence indicates changes in sea level have been going on for thousands of years. He said smaller changes are related to changes in the elevation of land masses — for example, the Great Lakes are rising because the earth’s crust is rebounding from being depressed by glaciers.

Schmitt, who grew up in Silver City and now lives in Albuquerque, has a science degree from the California Institute of Technology. He also studied geology at the University of Oslo in Norway and took a doctorate in geology from Harvard University in 1964.

In 1972, he was one of the last men to walk on the moon as part of the Apollo 17 mission.

Schmitt said he’s heartened that the upcoming conference is made up of scientists who haven’t been manipulated by politics.

Of the global warming debate, he said: “It’s one of the few times you’ve seen a sizable portion of scientists who ought to be objective take a political position and it’s coloring their objectivity.”

    old news to me…more people need to see this kind of thing too…i know several conservatives who have bought into the whole climate change thing…all one needs to do see see the holes in the “theory” is look at all the evidence in an objective logical fashion…it all becomes clear very quickly

    I will be posting this several times throughout this site. I heard it this morning on the Laura Ingraham show who was on vacation with Jane Macy filling in. Macy used to be a Liberal and she mentioned that the ONE thing that liberals MUST have in order to rise to power (“they COUNT on it) is for conservatives to retreat or give way, i.e. accommodate. She then played this sound bite from a Reagan speech. I am not ashamed to admit, but I had to pull over on the Interstate because I was openly weeping. I was 10 years old when Reagan was first inaugurated, I love him and miss him terribly. The speech is a warning, prophecy, message of hope and ultimately a directive for conservatives everywhere. I beg you to please, PLEASE follow the link below and start circulating this to as many people as possible.

    The commies are in control now, it is time for Americans to come together. It is either death to America or fight for it.

  • Kermit

    Very old news indeed. There have been some massive “skeptic” conferences. And yes some of the approximately 200 Global Climatologists have been part of these.

    Remember that there may be as many as 250 Global Climatologists worldwide AND NOT MANY MORE.

    Hence my Reagan post

    CGadsden…I too was about your age when RR was presidnet for the first time. I am ashamed at how far we have fallen in the 20 years since he left office. That was a great speech, words that inspire, words that drive each person to think of what they can do to make life better for our children and this great country. All we are left with now is a President that wants to tell us how he will take care of us and apease the enemy. You are right CG, OB is leading us to our doom as a nation and global warming is one of the tools they are using.
    One Sunday I attended church at Hollywood Pres and after arriving a few minutes late I walked down the isle to find a seat only to see President Reagan and Nancy sitting alone in a pew; they both warmly smiled as if to invite me to sit next to them…overwhelmed by respect I moved on and sat down elsewhere. Unfortunately now you will not even find our president in church on Sunday!

    Love the handle. Ever notice how the founding fathers, and great presidents like Reagan and Teddy’s words are ageless? Fear is the only tool tyrants can use to garner power.

    I am a fan of Harrisom Schmitt, and remember when he was an Astronaut as well as my Senator. He is a very intelligent man and I wish he was still in office.
    This issue(Scam) regarding Global Warming is indeed cause for great concern. Just another ploy by the Collectivists to impose more restrictions upon us and control our lives…. not to mention Bankrupt us.

    Just like Michael Crichton wrote in State of Fear. Gov’t keeps control of the masses by creating false fear about false events. Good read if you haven’t yet picked it up.
