Primer on CO2 and Climate, 2nd Edition

Al Gore and The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently received the Nobel Peace Prize, not one for physics, nor for chemistry, nor for medicine - nor for any science whatsoever. In Al Gore's case, it was explicitly awarded to him for his propagandistic movie, An Inconvenient Truth. The prize puts Al Gore right up there with Yasser Arafat.IPCC participants and defenders steadfastly refuse to debate the issue, claiming that "the science is settled." In a debate, they would have to explain the water cycle. That one item would be enough to show that the science is not settled, because not even the rudiments are understood.Try to think of any scientific truth whatsoever that has ever needed a $300 MILLION propaganda campaign to promote it. Al Gore has just started one on "climate change." Who stands to benefit?

Howard Hayden is a Professor Emeritus of Physics from the University of Connecticut.A Colorado native, he entered the University of Denver as an engineering major, but soon discovered that he wasn't temperamentally suited to all that reality. He switched to physics and went on to earn his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. at DU.On receiving his Ph.D., he went to the University of Connecticut where he spent 32 years clasting icons and corrupting young minds. He did accelerator-based atomic physics, including measurements of cross-sections for various processes, measurements of energy loss in atomic collisions and of lifetimes of excited states, beam-foil spectroscopy, and ion implantation. Hayden has a long-standing interest in energy, stemming from before the OPEC oil embargoes of the 70s. Presently, he publishes a monthly newsletter, The Energy Advocate, which in August 2007 began its 11th year of publication. He wrote The Solar Fraud: Why Solar Energy Won't Run the World. Reviews of the book have varied from praise to venomous hatred.Hayden is not employed by any petroleum, coal, natural gas, nuclear-fuel, or any other energy company, or any utility, nor does he receive any compensation from any such facility, either as direct payment or as research support or any other kind of grant. His association with such scurrilous outfits is that he has to pay them for fuels and electricity, quite as if he were a normal human being. In the interest of full disclosure, he reveals that his closest friends exhale CO2. Nary a one has paid for carbon credits for doing so.
