Can you name one difference between world opinion and left-wing opinion?

Interesting take on world opinion. Prager says: “world opinion” is a creation of the Left, reported by the Left.
Interesting take on world opinion.

I’ve often said in my comments that world opinion is meaningless. In reality, it is less than meaningless. It is outright soft propaganda.

Prager says it best: “world opinion” is a creation of the Left, reported by the Left.

clipped from townhall.com Here are examples of major world issues and what is deemed “world opinion.” They happen to all be Leftist views as well. – hatred of President George W. Bush and admiration of President Barack Obama – Manmade carbon emissions lead to global warming and devastation of the environment. Therefore, the world’s nations must tax carbon-based energy. – The American invasion of Iraq was morally wrong, motivated by desire for oil. – Israel is bad, as exemplified most recently by the Turkish flotilla incident. – The American free-enterprise system is inferior to Europe’s welfare-state systems. – The American health care system is inferior to that of all other wealthy countries (see last week’s column). This list in no way differs from a list of Leftist positions. Nor would any other list of “world opinion” positions differ in any meaningful way from Leftist positions. Why is that?

It’s not anthropogenic. It’s not global. It’s not warming

The debunking keeps stacking up!

clipped from www.ncpa.org Temperatures are falling, not rising: Last winter, the northern hemisphere saw its greatest snow cover since 1966; this winter is predicted to be even worse. The earth was hotter 1,000 years ago: Research shows that temperatures were higher in what is known as the Medieval Warming period than they were in the 1990s. According to NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, surface air temperature measurements show that December 2007 to November 2008 was the coolest year, and that the hottest decade was the 1930s, not the 1990s Ice is not disappearing: According to the Web site Crysophere Today, Arctic ice volume was 500,000 square kilometers greater than this time last year; additionally, Antarctic sea-ice reached its highest level this year since satellite records began in 1979. Temperatures are still dropping: NASA satellite readings on global temperatures show that August was the fourth month in 2008 when temperatures fell below their 30-year average since satellite records began.

Look at these numbers

The hypothesis of global warming includes the presumption that late 20th century warming was caused by human emissions. This theory has failed the three main tests to which it has been subjected. First, there is no relationship between the 20th century patterns of increasing carbon dioxide and changing temperature; second, 20th century rates and magnitude of temperature change fall well within previous natural limits of change despite accompanying increases in human-sourced carbon dioxide; and, third, the computer models used to engender public alarm have proved unable to predict temperature change over the period 1990 -2006, let alone out to 2100.

clipped from www.canada.com The hottest year since 1880 becomes 1934 instead of 1998, which is now just second; 1921 is third. Four of the 10 hottest years were in the 1930s, only three in the past decade. Claiming that man-made carbon dioxide has caused the natural disasters of recent years makes as much sense as claiming fossil-fuel burning caused the Great Depression. The 15 hottest years since 1880 are spread over seven decades. Eight occurred before atmospheric carbon dioxide began its recent rise; seven occurred afterwards. In other words, there is no discernible trend, no obvious warming of late. Imagine if the shoe were on the other foot. Imagine the shrieking of the warmers if we had previously thought that hot years were scattered throughout the past 130 years, but after a correction the warmest years could be seen to be concentrated in the past decade. They would insist the revised data proved their case.
