GLOBAL WARMING LIES REFUTED

The media have been remiss in doing their due diligence in fact checking global warming stories before publishing them. This is a violation of the public trust. It has been understood that the media in general and newspapers in particular have a "public watchdog" mandate as part of their modus operandi. Of late, they have been failing miserably. On a scale from A to F I would have to give them a G because F is too good of a score. To that end, I have done the fact checking that your newspapers should have done, but failed. I offer the following for your information. This is important because if we don't counter the lies, there will be a seismic shift in public policy that will have exponential increases in your taxes.

It is true that we have had a worldwide increase in the average global temperature of 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last 100 years. What is not true is the "gloom and doom" predictions made in response to this increase. I will debunk many of these claims that have been published by the AP and reprinted as gospel by papers around the country.
About 3 years ago the AP printed a story that claimed that we would have massive saltwater fish kills as the result of the fresh water infusion into the saltwater environment of the oceans due to the ice melt and corresponding run-off as the result of global warming. This sounds plausible on its face. It is a laughable lie however and is easily refuted. Take the Mississippi River for example. IT IS THE THIRD LARGEST DRAINAGE BASIN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD! ITS AVERAGE FLOW RATE IS 4 MILLION GALLONS PER SECOND INTO THE GULF OF MEXICO! Now there will never be melting runoff that can equal the flow of the Mississippi River. There are no saltwater fish kills in the Gulf where the Mississippi where the river dumps into it. This is due to the scientific law called the Diffusion Principle. (Author's note: I have dispensed with including the definition here for the sake of brevity)
Al Gore's widely hailed movie is a pack of lies. For example, he claimed that if the Greenland ice pack melted, it would raise the level of the world's oceans by 20 feet. Now the total land size of Greenland is only 800,000 square miles. The ocean surface of the planet is 130.5 million square miles. It covers approximately 71% of the planet. Now Greenland only has a percentage of its land surface in ice pack. But let us assume for argument sake that it was all ice pack. The entire country of Greenland
