This is great ! Government has seized upon the concept of 'climate change' doom and gloom scenarios and turned it into a "Religion" - which of course means that their concept cannot be questioned since it is a 'Belief' tht has been sanctioned by Big government ! Thank goodness that there are some in the Scientific community who are not afraid to look at the global warming facts in a true investigative fashion.

This is wonderful. Thank you!

We live in a world of sheeple (followers). Just remember what the herd says IS true most likely isn't and what they say ISN'T true probably is. It's sad, but true. Cornour commented below, "This video has only 5600 views for a good reason: IT IS NONENESE." Well, to illustrate a point on that, 911 flight 77 YouTube conspiracy theories have received 3.5 million views while youtube videos of 100's of witnesses (first hand accounts) who saw the plane fly into the Pentagon have gotten only 300.

You see an infamous key industry lobbyist at work. For more information about him see wikipedia or sourcewatch.

Fred Singer has made it a career to discredit any science that threatened private industry profits or involved the government. He championed what later became known as the "The Tobacco Strategy", working to sow doubt about not just the connection between smoking and health, but also the science on acid rain, DDT, and the ozone hole. He directed a program for R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. that funneled 45 million dollars to scientists paid to "defend the product". So much for Fred Singer.

This video has only 5600 views for a good reason: IT IS NONENSE ITSELF. What else can I say. THIS IS NOT SCIENCE. If the NIPCC were a scientific endeavor, they would have at least TRIED to explain the climate system. Fact is, NIPCC is a collection of inconsistent criticism to the IPCC report, WITH NO ALTERNATIVE EXPLANATION MODELS PROPOSED. It effectively is an INTELLECTUAL VOID with no scientific purpose whatsoever.

@digitalfilmvillage S Fred and the word truth don't fit in one sentence

[glennimmortal]

typical answer from a tiny hateful mind, I hope you live as long as this man and I hope you learn something on the way.

Thank you, Dr. Singer -- we appreciate your work on spreading the truth about climate change.

36,7052 viewers for Al Gore's testimony on global warming vs 3,683 for this one! Proves the point Dr. Singer makes at 06:57. This has become as issue of silent minority vs a vocal majority, environmentalism has become a religion. In the past, certain religious views were sanctioned and promoted by the power (legislations) and wealth (federal funding) of the ruling class. The dissenters fell out of favor or were silenced, "Die, lying shill, die" -- see the post below.

S Fred Singer was once a respected atmospheric scientist. However, since at least 1991 he has acted as an apologist for the asbestos industry, tobacco industry and, more recently, the oil, gas and coal industries.

He is in no way an unbiased commentator on this or any other topic. As he just said, it is not about climate, it is about money. If he wants to be taken seriously, he should be more careful about where he gets his.
