The global warming hoax has proved to be, if nothing else, a topic that should be openly debated instead of being considered off-limits by the climate change activists. Over the last year, I’ve compiled well over 1500 news articles that portray global warming an an inexact science at best and its proponents as being tax-seeking and lifestyle-controlling and, all the while, sometimes even displaying their own hypocrisy and arrogance. Enjoy the year-in-review.
So what about the weather? I know specific weather events do not make climate, even though global warming alarmists do use this to their advantage when it comes to floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados and the like (see Hoaxers Using Weather Inaccurately to Promote Cause). Let’s take a look back at some weather events from the last year. But before we do that, have a look at this Reuters article that claimed 2008 would be in the top 10 warmest years: 2008 to be in top 10 warmest years say forecasters and, conversely, an article that says just the opposite: Scientists Expect a Cooler 2008. And, by year’s end, Australia had the coldest August in 35 years, A town in South Africa had the coldest September night - ever, Denver set two record lows, Charlotte had the coldest November in 32 years and record cold hit Montana. And that’s just from the last page of my cold weather posts. How about more weather posts?

And speaking of weather, let’s not forget the Gore Effect. It seemed in 2008 that every time some big global warming event took place, extreme weather followed:
Protesters Could Use Some Global Warming
Gore Brings Cold Temperatures to Cambridge
Brrrrrr! Too Cold for Global Warming Relay
Students Brave Cold on Bikes to Raise Climate Change Awareness
Global Warming Protestors Brave Unseasonable Cold

And, of course, we learned about all of the things that global warming causes over the last year:
Growing Glaciers (you can’t make this stuff up, folks!)
Killing Amphibians (or maybe not): Frogs Not Dying From Global Warming Afterall
Midwest Floods Caused by Global Warming. Maybe Not.
And don’t forget to check out The Big List of Things Caused by Global Warming.
And all the things that cause global warming:
What about taxes and lifestyle changes? After all, I’m a firm believer that the whole global warming hoax is based around taking your hard-earned money and controlling your lifestyle. What have we learned over the last year about these subjects?
First, the lifestyle changes:
Liberty, Incandescent Lightbulbs and the Global Warming Hoax
Massachusetts Passes Energy Bill
No HOV Lanes for Carbon Credit Holders
London to Charge $50 to Drive SUV
Motivated by a Tax, Irish Spurn Plastic Bags

Speaking of gasoline, the global warming alarmists were big on ethanol mandates this year which, quite frankly, caused food prices to skyrocket. The same group of individuals that vowed to protect the poor and sick only hurt them as food riots broke out.

All in all, 2008 has been better for skeptics than warming alarmists. With cold temperatures blanketing the globe during the Winter of 2007 and so far in the Winter of 2008, and planetary temperatures continuing their fall from their most recent high in 1998 even as greenhouse gas emissions rise, the evidence against anthropogenic sources of global warming mounts. But, as many of us know from experiences during our lifetimes, if one tells a lie enough, it becomes truth. I want to keep showing the lies here at Skeptics Global Warming and ensure that they do not become truth. Thank you for visiting during the course of the year. I look forward to another exciting 12 months of spreading the real truth about global warming.
