Thank you Dow Jones - Global Warming is a Myth

In My Humble Opinion

Take a look at this article from 1997…

Global Warming Myth

A couple of red flags right from the start- it’s copywritten by Dow Jones, and was published in the WSJ.
The conclusion is a riot…

Hydrocarbons are needed to feed and lift from poverty vast numbers of people across the globe. This can eventually allow all human beings to live long, prosperous, healthy, productive lives. No other single technological factor is more important to the increase in the quality, length and quantity of human life than the continued, expanded and unrationed use of the Earth’s hydrocarbons, of which we have proven reserves to last more than 1,000 years. Global warming is a myth. The reality is that global poverty and death would be the result of Kyoto’s rationing of hydrocarbons.

Thank you Dow Jones for putting humanity before profits!

Do you have a specific point to debate? Or would you like me to move this to IMHO or The BBQ Pit for you?

Not surprising, although to be fair that piece is now about 8 years old. The authors are those of the infamous “Oregon petition”. It is worth noting that both of the graphs that they show have now been shown by later work to be wrong.

No point to debate. Its just a hilarious article, and it’s funny that the Wall Street Journal would print this. It belongs in the Weekly World News.

Please move it if you like.

No, it isn’t either. It might well be copyrighted to Dow Jones.
