But he's not the first high-profile defectorposted on September 1, 2010, at 2:15 PMBjorn Lomborg, a renowned climate change skeptic, recently announced he's changed his mind on the topic. With 2010 shaping up as the warmest year on record and "most high-profile" member of their camp, author Bjorn Lomborg. But Lomborg isn't the first doubter to accept the scientific consensus that human carbon emissions are warming the planet and need to be curtailed. Media MadnessMedia must sell papers or get viewers for advertising to survive financially - so if seeking truth - forget the story, and follow the money! > Will it draw attention and readers? > Is it a chance to sell a new-view? In these days of a million media outlets and even more experts on every subject there is, they all are scrambling for MONEY! Yes, the six persons written of below have changed their minds, but as the saying goes "The smaller the mind, the easier to change. Look who these people are! > Yes, they may have celebrity, > but they don't have credentials! > Not even one of the six!
2. Dmitri Medvedev, Russian president, still wondering if Russia should return to communism for prosperity, trying to get attention of world media when no one pays any attention to Russia anymore. 3. Michael Hanlon, British science journalist another journalist, looking for a way to make the news . . . his last book was something on "Hitch-hiking . . ."? 4. Michael Shermer, publisher of Skeptic Magazine, another journalist, could make it in the real world, so he devoted his career to the study of "ghosts" and other "psychic kook-ology". Currently describes himself as an agnostic,[3] nontheist,[4][5] atheist[6] and advocate for humanist philosophy.[7] (See Wikipedia) 5. Gregg Easterbrook, American journalist . . . journalist looking for work with the demise of all things media! In his quote below, his only evidence was the "near-unanimous voice for the warming. That was AD 2006. Now that all of the fraudulent pseudo science has come out, he'll be switching back soon, . . . if he's still pretending to be a journalist. 6. Stu Ostro, Weather Channel senior meteorologist - Wow! A TV weatherman! At least by changing his mind he got his name in the paper. FACT: Not one is a scientist. FACT: Not one offers any evidence. FACT: So it has been hot in some places this summer. It's always hot in the summer! Ever hear of the dust bowl? It's also produced about the coldest winter on record as well. Don't be fooled by listening to people with no credentials! === Here are their "Flip-Flop" statements!1. Bjorn Lomborg, Danish journalist Before quote: "In 20 years' time, we’ll look back and wonder why we worried so much." (2002) After quote: "We actually have only one option: we all need to start seriously focusing, right now, on the most effective ways to fix global warming." (2010) He offers NO EVIDENCE! However, just by changing his opinion, he gets attention - as you are reading this - had he not "flip-flopped" neither of us would be reading this today!
Before quote: Climate change is "some kind of tricky campaign made up by some commercial structures to promote their business projects." (2009) After quote: "Unfortunately, what is happening now in our central regions is evidence of this global climate change, because we have never in our history faced such weather conditions in the past." (2010)
Before quote: "Global warming, indeed much of environmentalism, has become a new religion. Like the old religions, environmentalism preaches much good sense, is well meaning, but has a worrying lack of logic at its core." (2000) After quote: "I have long been something of a climate-change sceptic, but my views in recent years have shifted. For me, the most convincing evidence that something worrying is going on lies right here in the Arctic." (2010)
Before quote: "Scientists like Bjorn Lomborg in The Skeptical Environmentalist have, in my opinion, properly nailed environmental extremists for these exaggerated scenarios." (2008, referring to 2001) After quote: "Because of the complexity of the problem, environmental skepticism was once tenable. No longer. It is time to flip from skepticism to activism." (2006) 5. Gregg Easterbrook, American journalist and author Before quote: "Instant-doomsday hyperbole caused the world’s attention to focus on the hypothetical threat of global warming to the exclusion of environmental menaces that are real, palpable, and awful right now." (1995, PDF) After quote: "The science has changed from ambiguous to near-unanimous... Based on the data I'm now switching sides regarding global warming, from skeptic to convert." (2006)
Before quote: Large swings in temperature "happened long before humans had a chance to influence the environment, [and] typically occurred within a 10-year period, indicating that drastic climate change can occur through natural means, and quickly." (1999) After quote: "When it comes to skepticism about AGW, you could say I have street cred," but "it could be said that I 'converted' and became a 'believer.'" (2010)
