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.

Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.
Chicken Little likes to walk in the woods. She likes to look at the trees. She likes to smell the flowers. She likes to listen to the birds singing.
One day while she is walking an acorn falls from a tree, and hits the top of her little head.
– My, oh, my, the sky is falling. I must run and tell the lion about it, – says Chicken Little and she begins to run.
She runs and runs. By and by she meets the hen.
– Where are you going? – asks the hen.
– Oh, Henny Penny, the sky is falling and I am going to the lion to tell him about it.
– How do you know it? – asks Henny Penny.
– It hit me on the head, so I know it must be so, – says Chicken Little.
– Let me go with you! – says Henny Penny. – Run, run.
So the two run and run until they meet Ducky Lucky.
– The sky is falling, – says Henny Penny. – We are going to the lion to tell him about it.
– How do you know that? – asks Ducky Lucky.
– It hit Chicken Little on the head, – says Henny Penny.
– May I come with you? – asks Ducky Lucky.
– Come, – says Henny Penny.
So all three of them run on and on until they meet Al Gore.
– Where are you going? – asks Al Gore.
– The sky is falling and we are going to the lion to tell him about it, – says Ducky Lucky.
– Do you know where he lives? – asks Al Gore.
– I don’t, – says Chicken Little.
– I don’t, – says Henny Penny.
– I don’t, – says Ducky Lucky.
– I do, – says Al Gore. – Come with me and I CAN SHOW YOU THE WAY.
He walks on and on until he comes to his den.
– Come right in, – says Al Gore
They all go in, and Al Gore gets very rich.
The recent wildfires, the likes of which have existed farther back into history than combustion engines, dumped more “pollution” into the atmosphere than all of the vehicles on the planet do in 10 years. The volcanic activity a few years back introduced similar amounts of “pollution”. There are far more greenhouse gasses introduced by nature than by man made sources.
al gore is behind the chemtrails..
Scammer
doesn’t the climate change every year?– spring– summer — fall =– winter?
This whole site is on meth! Lol!
You know what climate change is it summer an winter$#%&!@*hole,s.
