Danish Speaker Warns About Global Warming Junk Science

As world climate scientists head off to Copenhagen, the Danish Speaker Thor Pedersen warned about global warming junk science.
The Politiken reported:
As the world prepares to converge on Copenhagen for the COP15 Climate Summit, Denmark’s Speaker of Parliament has expressed serious doubts as to the way in which the climate debate has developed.
“The problem is that lots of people go around saying that the climate change we see is a result of human activity. That is a very dangerous claim,” Parliamentary Speaker and former Finance Minister Thor Pedersen (Lib) tells DR.
“Unfortunately I seem to experience that scientists say: ‘We have a theory’ – then that crosses the road to the politicians who say: ‘We know’. Who can be bothered to hear a scientist who says ‘I have a theory’ when politicians go around saying ‘I know’” Thor Pedersen says.
Thor Pedersen adds that the temperature has not risen in the past decade.
“I’m not saying that in the decade that the temperature has fallen or stagnated is enough to evaluate developments. But one should only say what one knows,” the Speaker adds.
“You should say that although we believed in our models, that the temperature would rise from 1998 to 2008, we have to admit that it has not risen. We cannot explain why it has not risen, but we believe we still have a problem. I’m just asking that people say what they actually know,” Pedersen tells DR.

Bravo Thor Pederson!!! At last a politician with some sanity.
Dell commented:
Unfortunately, the man speaks COMMON SENSE and you don’t need a phd to do so.
Long ago, men had a theory the Earth was FLAT! Some still think it is.

Obama has changed his plans for the Global Warming Summit. He was due to arrive next week but will now arrive on December 18. In Britain they say the subject will need 3 more years of study. While Obama remains committed and will be sending 10 Bill to 3rd World Countries every year. Reality is never allowed into the White House these days.

Clearly a “denier”. Must be insane….really. I mean…who doesn’t believe in (alleged) AGW? And hey…10 years does not make a trend (of course if it were an upward trend, well that would be a trend). No, he should be made to stand before “Gorquemada” and answer for his crime against the planet.
No…really.

The hole in the ozone layer was just the same thing.
There is no hole. It is really just a low density of ozone, but not an actual hole. And the ozone density on the south pole is heavily influenced by local weather and the sun. Not to mention cosmic radiation.
We didn’t do it.
And the “hole” is still there.
Today it’s like this: if a bird just looks sick, mankind is at fault and all the environitwits scream murder.
Screw facts. Screw evidence. Mankind is evil! That’s the basic idea of the environitwits.
Gandalf commented:
Well that sounds pretty reasonable – say what you know. That would leave Obama speechless.

What should be on everyone’s mind is less so much about junk science, although it should be a close second, but the head-long rush by the political class and the U.N. to get this treaty signed at all costs. They have publicly said that actual ‘carbon targets’ can be determined at a future time. But they want the basic framework signed. As Lord Moncton has warned us recently, the Copenhagen agreement is not about climate, carbon or the environment. Those are merely distractions to keep everybody’s(the general public) eyes off the ball so they can shove global governance down everybody’s throat. Any western leader who signs this agreement should be arrested for high treason under the laws of those nations.
This is why Climategate is not really causing a slow-down in the plans for Copenhagen. They really don’t care if the ‘science’ is bogus or not. It just isn’t relevant.

Yup! You nailed it. This is right out of Rahm’s playbook: Never let a good crisis (real OR fabricated) go to waste. The most onerous words free-men can hear these days is “________(crisis)…which has created a CALL TO ACTION for the international community.” Translated:
__________ (insert crisis here) has happened, so please give up your sovreignty and freedom to insure it won’t happen again.
Jon commented:
Once again someone who has little understanding of science is incorrectly summarizing it’s results. What an ignorant s.o.b.
Bobbi commented:
he may not know a lot about “science”, but cooking the books is pretty obvious to even an amatuer.
Tim Allen commented:
How refreshing to hear what Pedersen has to say on this controversial, super hyped topic. He deserves a medal. Naturally, Obama, Gore and the rest of the New Religion Order will ignore, and continue on in their alarmist fashion.
