Flipping through TV channels the other day I came across the WWF’s (World Wildlife Fund) 2007/8 fundraising commercial starring Noah Wyle. I hoped it was just one of the talk shows using it as a bad example but I was looking for the Giants game and had to move on.

The commercial is here: WWF’s commercial

It’s about mommy bears and baby bears dying as the arctic ice melts because of global warming. It’s very sad.

It would be infinitely sadder if it had a whiff of truth in it. There are about 5 times more polar bears now than there were fifty years ago and they’re doing fine.

Is their ice melting? Good question, but there’s no way to answer it because the people who, we thought, were keeping track of this stuff won’t release their raw data for peer review. That’s because their conclusions wither under genuinely scientific analysis. These guys only pretend to be scientists. They’re really just elitist activists focused on getting grant money from gullible governments. To do that, they must obscure evidence of earth’s natural cycles such as: polar ice melting for a while then coming back – the alarmist-baffling Medieval Warm Period – Mars’s polar ice caps melting – the effect of sun spots – or, my fave, the interesting fact that Greenland had trees and then got cold long before we had SUVs.

At the moment, here in Miami, Florida, temperature for the past few days and nights has varied from 32 to 58, about 20 degrees less than normal! The whole country is freezing. Both China and the UK are enjoying record low temperatures and record snowfalls.

It is no longer possible to be a sentient grownup and believe in global warming.

Perhaps we should have a giant commercial, live, in which Al Gore returns his Nobel prize, gives back his Oscar and offers refunds to anyone who paid to see his movie and/or bought his books. It could wind up with crowds cheering as Interpol arrests certain “scientists” for massive fraud on a global scale.

Meanwhile, the WWF could promise to spend their polar bear money on something worthwhile, like helping Africans spray DDT on the walls of their hovels, thus saving millions of children’s lives.
