Global warming: The French connection Ann Coulter
May 29, 2003
Inasmuch as June is around the corner and it's still winter, it is time to revisit the issue of
"global warming." A sparrow does not a spring make, but in the Druid religion of environmentalism,
every warm summer's breeze prompts apocalyptic demands for a ban on aerosol spray and paper bags. So
where is global warming when we need it?
In 1998, President Clinton denounced Republicans for opposing his environmental policies, citing
Florida's inordinately warm weather: "June was the hottest month they had ever had – hotter than any
July or August they had ever had." This, after the Senate rejected the Kyoto Treaty by the slender
margin of 95-0. In fact, all the world's major industrial powers initially rejected the treaty,
including Japan. That's right: Even Kyoto rejected Kyoto.
That same year, CNN's Margaret Carlson remarked that when her neighbors experienced temperate
weather at Christmas, global warming was the word on everyone's lips. Adding to the world's supply
of hot air, she said global warming was the big sleeper issue.
Well, this year, Washington, D.C., had the coldest February in a quarter-century. What are the
scientific conclusions of Ms. Carlson's neighbors now? In a single day in February, New York got its
fourth-deepest snowfall since 1869. Baltimore got more snow in February than in any other month in
recorded history. I wish there were global warming.
In 1995, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change produced a computer model
purportedly proving "a discernible human influence on global climate." According to the U.N.,
there was not enough evidence to determine if Saddam Hussein was a threat, but the evidence is
in on global warming.
The key to the U.N.'s global warming study was man's use of aerosol spray. You have to know the
French were involved in a study concluding that Arrid Extra Dry is destroying the Earth. In a world
in which everyone smelled, the French would be at no disadvantage. Aerosol spray. How convenient.
According to global-warming hysterics, global warming would begin at the poles, melt the ice caps,
and then the oceans would rise. On the basis of such fatuous theories, in August 1998, the host of
NPR's "Science Friday," Ira Flatow, told his listeners to look out their windows and imagine the
ocean in their own back yards. Explaining that receding glaciers in Antarctica would dramatically
lift sea levels, he warned that their grandchildren could be "hanging fishing poles out of New York
skyscrapers," thus qualifying as the world's all-time greatest "fishing story."
Since then, evidence disproving "global warming" has been pouring in. God knows how many trees had
to be sacrificed to print new data refuting global warming.
In January 2002, the journal Science published the findings of scientists who had been measuring the
vast West Antarctic ice sheet. Far from melting, it turns out the ice sheet is growing thicker. The
researchers were Dr. Ian R. Joughin, an engineer at the jet propulsion laboratory of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration in Pasadena, Calif., and Dr. Slawek Tulaczyk, a professor of
earth sciences at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
About the same time, the journal Nature published the findings of scientist Peter Doran and his
colleagues at the University of Illinois. Rather than using the U.N.'s "computer models," the
researchers took actual temperature readings. It turned out temperatures in the Antarctic have been
getting slightly colder - not warmer - for the last 30 years.
The chief scientist for Environmental Defense, Michael Oppenheimer, responded to the new findings by
urging caution and warning that "there is simply not enough data to make a broad statement about all
of Antarctica." That's interesting. We didn't have to wait for more data when lunatics curtailed the
use of nuclear energy in this country on the basis of the movie "The China Syndrome." That was hard
scientific evidence.
We didn't wait for more data when DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) was banned on the basis of
Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring, which brainwashed children into believing DDT would kill all the
birds. American soldiers in World War II were bathed in DDT. Jews rescued from Nazi death camps were
doused in DDT. It was a miracle invention: Tiny amounts of DDT kill disease-carrying insects with no
harm to humans, protecting them from malaria, dengue and typhus. But in 1972, the U.S. banned one of
the greatest inventions in modern history.
Now environmentalists are in a panic that African nations will use DDT to save millions of lives.
Last year, 80,000 people in Uganda alone died of malaria, half of them children. The United States
and Europe have threatened to ban Ugandan imports if they use DDT to stop this scourge.
Environmentalists would prefer that millions of Africans die so that white liberals may continue
gazing upon rare birds.
Liberals don't care about the environment. The core of environmentalism is a hatred for mankind.
They want mass infanticide, zero population growth, reduced standards of living and vegetarianism.
Most crucially, they want Americans to stop with their infernal deodorant use.

Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles before; I have no doubt
he would use them again if permitted to develop them. --Bill Clinton, December 17, 1998
We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his
country. --Albert Gore, 23 September 2001
