Former Vice President Al Gore, testifying to the U.S. Congress
in March, declared that "the debate is over" about
Global Warming. Minnesota's legislature has responded by
passing the most stringent mandates on energy companies in
the nation. These mandates will cost you and your family
-- limiting your freedom, raising your taxes, and dramatically
increasing the cost of energy.
Why are we so intent on making public policy out of a scientific
theory?
It's time to bring some logic, academic inquiry and good
old-fashioned Minnesotan common-sense to the issue of global
warming and understand that there's another side to the story
that's not being heard.
At this exciting seminar, you will learn:
• Why human CO2 emissions are a poor explanation of
earth's recent warming.
• The broad peer-reviewed evidence of a natural, moderate 1500-year climate
cycle.
• Why humans will thrive during the warming -- again.
• Why we expect the wild species to survive -- again.
• Why Mr. Gore's 20-foot sea level surge won't happen.
• Why giving up fossil fuels isn't likely to help.
Featured speakers:
 Jason
Lewis, Minnesota's Mr. Right, is heard weekdays
on KTLK (100.3 FM) from 4 to 7 PM.
Jason's show is the home of Beatle Bumper Fridays,
deals with some serious issues but Jason's sense of
humor brings a good deal of levity to the show. Lighter
topics include sports, trivia, music and movies. And
you'll definitely hear plenty of Elvis and the Beatles
during any given broadcast.
In January 2007, Jason began the "Tax Cut Coalition" in
response to the massive Minnesota's State budget surplus.
In under a month's time over 10,000 people joined under
Mr. Lewis' banner.
Jason's broadcast career began in 1990 at KOA Radio
in Denver. He spent some time at KSTP-AM and WBT-Charlotte
before moving to his current home at KTLK in 2006.

 Dennis
Avery, economist and senior fellow at the
Hudson Institute. Avery co-authored the NY Times
bestseller, “Unstoppable
Global Warming: Every 1500 Years”, along
with atmospheric physicist Dr. Fred Singer. Avery
has more than 30 years of experience as a public
policy analyst. He wrote the landmark report for
President Johnson's National Advisory Commission
on Food and Fiber, and won the National Intelligence
Medal of Achievement while at the U.S. Department
of State.
Avery has
fascinated hundreds of audiences on five continents
with his speeches on humanity's environmental gains
and losses. For the global warming book, Avery examined
more than 500 peer-reviewed research studies, produced
by more than 1,500 co-authors (So much for the “CO2
consensus.”). Their temperature proxies included
oxygen isotopes in ice cores and peat bogs, plankton
fossils in seabed sediments, ancient tree rings,
cave stalagmites, fossil pollen, and even the tooth
enamel of dead Vikings in ice-doomed Greenland colonies.
Avery presents
the evidence of a 1500-year cycle in the sun's irradiance
-- including sunspots, carbon14 and beryllium10 isotopes,
satellite measurements of the sun, and the varying
impact of cosmic rays on the formation of cooling
clouds.
Global Warming proponents have asserted that man-made
greenhouse gases are the one main driving force behind
our ever changing climate. Furthermore, they insist,
there are few scientists of note who believe anything
else. Here’s Avery's
response to the charge and why the issue is far from
settled.

 Former
U.S. Senator Rudy Boschwitz. He represented
Minnesota in the U.S. Senate from December 1978 to
January 1991.
Boschwitz was born in Berlin, Germany, November 7,
1930. In 1933, when he was only three years-old, his
family fled Nazi Germany. They settled in New Rochelle,
New York, where he grew up. A graduate of The Pennington
School, he attended Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
Maryland, graduated from the New York University Stern
School of Business in 1950, and the New York University
School of Law in 1953. He served in the United States
Army. He was the founder and chairman of Plywood Minnesota
which later became Home Valu Interiors.
Since his service in the U.S. Senate, Boschwitz has
continued civic activities and membership on various
advisory boards, including state chair of the American
Cancer Society Crusade, Upper Midwest Kidney Foundation,
campaign chairman for Minneapolis Federation for Jewish
Service and received the Citizen's Medal in 1991 for
his efforts in Ethiopia.

• Senator
Mike Jungbauer (R-East Bethel) criticizes the state's plan

energy and environmental policies are nothing but feel

the cost on energy to consumers and do nothing to protect
the environment.”

Gore is wrong about global warming. Nevertheless, many
of your lawmakers remain determined to force
you to pay for expensive “solutions”.
• Thanks to a group called Center
for Climate Strategies, North Carolina's hogs
are joining
the fight against global warming. North Carolina citizens
can now look forward to higher energy prices, fewer property
rights, and a lower standard of living. Sounds like fun?
This same group is also very
active in driving Minnesota's energy policy
• A British court has ruled that schools promoting Al Gore's

Ethanol, they report, does not burn cleaner than gasoline,

only 3.5 percent of our gasoline yet it consumes over 20

to skyrocket and raising the threat of hunger in the Third
World.

Even if global warming end up to be fake, we
are still doing the right thing by fighting against it.
• Two articles by Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby. Part One contrasts
Newsweek's recent cover story promoting global warming hysteria with the equally
dire front
page warning about global cooling only 30 years ago. Part Two reports that
a survey of 530 climate scientists around the world shows that there is no
clear consensus on global warming.

• The Minnesota legislature has comissioned a group
