Recently, another incident of man-made global warming ideologues suppressing the scientific facts about global warming occurred in Washington State. Associate State Climatologist and climate scientist Mark Albright was fired because he sent e-mails to other scientists containing the true scientific facts about the Cascade Mountain snow pack. These facts refuted the publications of his boss, State Climatologist Philip Mote and the speeches of Seattle’s Democrat Mayor Greg Nickels who claimed the Cascade Mountain snow pack declined 50% from 1950 to 2000 due to man-made global warming.
Before the firing, University of Washington atmospheric scientist Dennis Hartmann tried to referee and resolve the dispute between Albright and Mote by doing an objective analysis of the data, but this failed when Hartmann found that Albright was right and Mote was wrong. This led to Mote trying to censor Albright’s e-mails. When Albright refused to allow this censorship, he was fired.
The whole story will be published in the June 1 issue of “Environment & Climate News,” a publication of the Heartland Institute at:
http://www.heartland.org/Article.cfm?artId=21207
This entire article would make an excellent educational lesson that teaches how any ideological hysteria like banning DDT or man-made global warming can destroy scientific objectivity, intellectual honesty, moral behavior, and soon thereafter human life. Many 10s of millions of people worldwide have been killed by malaria since the 1970s because of the negligent or malicious demands of radical environmentalists for the 1970s bans on DDT, malaria's best eradicator. Today, the DDT bans are recognized as being based on the grossly flawed science and the invalid claims of radical environmentalists.
Quotes from the article appear below --
“At most, according to reliable datasets, the Cascade Mountains snow pack declined by 35 percent between 1950 and 2000. Moreover, even that number is misleading. [Seattle’s Democrat Mayor Greg] Nickels and other global warming alarmists deliberately choose 1950 as the "baseline" for Cascade Mountains snow pack because 1950 was a year of abnormally heavy snowfall resulting in an uncharacteristically extensive snow pack.”
“In early March Albright was told he would have to submit any emails connected with his associate state climatologist position to Mote for pre-approval prior to distribution.
“When Albright refused to submit to Mote's censorship, Mote stripped him of his associate state climatologist title.”
“Cliff Mass, a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington, told the March 15 Seattle Times, ‘In all my years of doing science, I've never seen this sort of gag-order approach to doing science.’ "
The enormous advances in health, life expectancy, technology, prosperity, freedom, and happiness that mankind has enjoyed since the 1750s were created by the Enlightenment, capitalist nations. The reason for this is that the freedom in these nations released the best thinking of the best minds, no matter how economically poor they were. These free thinkers solved mankind’s problems and found the most rational, efficient solutions in a free market of ideas and goods. These enormous advances can be reversed and destroyed if today’s man-made global warming ideologues are allowed to suppress the best minds and to prevent the best thinkers from speaking or publishing the facts of reality.

Readings To Rapidly Come Up To Speed on Global Warming
In order to cut through all the hype and misinformation on global warming and get right to the facts with the least amount of reading, I would recommend reading items in this order:
1.) “The Satanic Gases” by Dr. Patrick Michaels (Professor Emeritus in Environmental Studies from Univ. of Virginia & State Climatologist for Virginia). Thousands of accurate global warming facts plus exposure of the intellectual dishonesty of formerly prestigious Science journals.
2.) “The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change” (2007) by Dr. Henrik Svensmark & Nigel Calder. Most likely correct natural global warming and global cooling explanation.
3.) The 20 Chapter refutation of the scientific lies in the “An Inconvenient Truth” at: http://www.cei.org/pages/ait_response-book.cfm This can be ordered as a free booklet titled “Al Gore’s Science Fiction” from the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
4.) “Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Politicians, Science and the Media” by Dr. Patrick Michaels, 2004
Three very important articles on key global warming topics are:
1.) Dr. Benny Peiser, media and science journal dishonesty on global warming: http://www.achgut.com/dadgdx/index.php/dadgd/article/editorial_bias_and_the_prediction_of_climate_disaster_the_crisis_of_science/
2.) Dr. Patrick Michaels, refutation of the lies about Antarctica melting: http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=030306H
3.) Dr. Tim Patterson, refutation of Gore’s lies about the Vostok, Antarctica ice core data and more: http://www.tcsdaily.com/article.aspx?id=010405M

UN IPCC high priests' Climate Hypocrisy
38 high priests of the UN IPCC church of man-made, CO2-caused, global warming orthodoxy have opened a new inquisition for a British heretic, Martin Durkin, and his heretical work, "The Great Global Warming Swindle" TV documentary.
See the story at:
http://tinyurl.com/2vu9y3
This resembles the Church’s trial of Galileo’s in 1633 for his heretical work of 1632 except that “burning at the stake” has been abolished in Britain during the long ago forgotten Scottish Enlightenment where free speech was king.
The high priests have sent their signed letter to the producer of the TV documentary, WAG TV. They seek to censor the documentary to death before its DVD is released.
In, addition, the same former Royal Society spokesman, who recently shamelessly demanded that Exxon Mobil stop funding organizations that publish heresy to IPCC orthodoxy, has sent another shameful letter. This time he demanded that a British government TV censorship bureau (cunningly mis-labeled a “media regulator”) stop the release of the DVD documentary under Britain’s free-speech-suppressing, broadcast laws. These oppressive broadcast laws are equivalent to the vile “Fairness Doctrine” of the U.S. FCC which from 1949 onward choked off free speech in America before it was abolished by the courts in 1987. British law allows for monetary penalties for free speech, if anyone CLAIMS that facts have been misrepresented. No wonder the Pilgrims and Puritans fled Britain for the New World.
These same high priests of the UN IPCC never uttered a word of protest when their acolyte, Al Gore, published a picture book and movie “An Inconvenient Truth” that is packed with dozens of egregious, scientific misrepresentations and blatant scientific lies. Hypocrisy is apparently not beneath the UN IPCC priesthood. The 20 chapter refutation of the misrepresentations and lies of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” movie can be found at:
