The Fraud of Global Warming


This is an excellent presentation by Dr. Floy Lilley to homeschool parents and students, on September 23rd 2008, at the Mises Institute (audio embedded below).  Lew Rockwell also hosted an article by Lilley called "Fraud of Global Warming."  I couldn't find the audio between the Dee Norris and the young student Lilley refers to, but the transcript can be found on the What's Up With That web site.
If you pace yourself, you can go through the images below while listening to the 17 minute presentation.  They are in order, somewhat.  Some of the images show the opposite position to give perspective to the argument.  It's amazing to see how much propaganda there is.  I think the science is in.  Human caused global warming is a myth.

Personally, I believe government should drop the pretext.  They want to tax life processes, so they came up with a plausible theory to back up their idea.  Well, somewhat plausible.  Plausible to the layman, anyway.  Does that mean industry is off the hook?  No, but it the answer to pollution is not to use hysteria, lies, and deception.

Instead, the answer to pollution is to enforce private property rights.  If my neighbor is polluting my air and/or water, they should answer for it.  The government's role is to offer to protect property rights and offer arbitration services.  If I don't like how the government is fulfilling its role in this regard, I should be able to fire them and hire someone else.

I should not expect my unaffected neighbors to pay for protection and arbitration between me and my polluting neighbor.

Here are various videos on the subject of global warming:
