Debunking Global Warming at The Huffington Post

Some guy named James Lakely — apparently a staffer at The Heartland Institute, a leading libertarian think tank — draws attention to the fact that some global warming debunking is going on at The Huffington Post, of all places.

The Huffington Post has a few token contributors who don’t toe the liberal line on policy, and one of them is Harold Ambler, an Obama supporter and owner of talkingabouttheweather.com, whose maiden contribution to the HuffPost debunks the myth of man-made global warming.

As Newsbusters points out, the HuffPost buried Ambler’s Jan. 3 post — not listing it among main “featured posts,” and sticking it beneath seven other older posts in the “green” section that warn of impending global environmental doom. Perhaps Ambler’s jabbing headline did him in: “Mr. Gore: Apology Accepted.” Or perhaps it was the way Ambler pulled no punches in going after Global Warming’s high priest. ...

Head on over there there to read more. There's actually quite a bit of global warming heterodoxy from Heartland at this link.

Cracks in the dam

2009 could be a very interesting year for the global warming movement -- and not the kind of interesting that suits their purposes.

But what I wanna know is this .. if global warming turns out to be a dud, a fad like Pet Rocks, can we expect an apology? Will Al Gore give back all his glossy hardware?

The Ambler article

I am not a believer in the global warming hype, but when Ambler says that " Water vapor's absorption spectrum also overlays that of carbon dioxide. They cannot both absorb the same energy!", he is being disingenuous. It is true that the same photon cannot be absorbed by two different things, but there are plenty of photons. Two things that absorb at the same frequency can be heated simultaneously by radiation at that frequency. The occurrence of one effect does not preclude the other.
