"Man-made global warming" hoaxsters learn from "secondhand smoke kills" activist liars

The bogus "science" of man-made global warming has common thread with groups that promote the bogus "science" that secondhand smoke kills.

Excerpt:

...not content with having lied to us about shrinking glaciers, increasing hurricanes, and rising sea levels, the IPCC’s latest assessment report also told us a complete load of porkies about the danger posed by climate change to the Amazon rainforest....

.....It gets even better. The two expert authors of the WWF report so casually cited by the IPCC as part of its, ahem, “robust” “peer-reviewed” process weren’t even Amazon specialists. One, Dr PF Moore, is a policy analyst....And the lead author Andy Rowell is a freelance journalist (for the Guardian, natch) and green activist:
Andy Rowell is a freelance writer and Investigative journalist with over 12 years’ experience on environmental, food, health and globalization issues. Rowell has undertaken cutting-edge investigations for, amongst others, Action on Smoking and Health, The Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids...

Global warming hoaxsters learned from smoking ban activists that repeating lies while claiming "peer reviewed" studies is a multi-billion dollar profitable scam that few would question.

The profit in smoking bans finds its way to companies like Johnson & Johnson which manufactures Nicoderm, Nicoderm CQ, and owns Nicotrol, Nicorette, Commit, etc. To that end, J & J's partner, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), has provided $446 million+ to groups like Campaign for Tobacco Free Kids (ASH is signing member), AMA, ALA, ACS, AHA, etc. to lobby lawmakers for implementation of smoking bans.

Meanwhile, the profit in promoting man-made global warming comes from government grants, carbon tax credits, etc. etc. These massive profits make it very worthwhile to continue promoting the scam.....but isn't that the very same reasoning a common criminal uses to justify his/her nefarious livelihood?

CTA is not a sports blog......but we're always a fan of any team that defeats the NY Jets

In case you don't know the reason, it has to do with the owner of the Jets franchise.....Robert Wood Johnson.....and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) role in eliminating businesses and jobs around the globe.

FDA warns Johnson & Johnson (J & J) over their alleged hazardous drugs and kickback bribes

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-01-15/j-j-gets-u-s-fda-warning-on-delayed-report-of-tainted-tylenol.html

Jan. 15 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to Johnson & Johnson, saying the drugmaker waited more than a year to notify regulators after getting complaints that tainted bottles of Tylenol sickened customers.

The medicines may have been tainted by a pesticide and flame retardant applied to wooden shipping pallets, the company said in a statement. New Brunswick, New Jersey-based J&J received about 70 complaints of musty or mildew-like odors in Tylenol caplets as well as reports of nausea, vomiting and diarrhea after use, the FDA said.

“They became aware of the problem in September 2008 and their investigation and report to the agency didn’t occur until about a year later, and we would have expected action to occur sooner than that,” Hirshfield said.

The FDA’s warning letter alleged violations of manufacturing, notification and quality-control rules. It was issued the same day the U.S. Justice Department said J&J paid kickbacks to Omnicare Inc., the largest U.S. pharmacy for nursing home patients, to push prescriptions for its antipsychotic drug Risperdal.

No safe level of secondhand smoke? The facts dispel this myth

In CTA's brief history we've written very little about this subject except as embedded response to tobacco control (Nicoderm funded) activists. In one posting the organization American Non-Smoker's Rights (ANR) wrote to us:

.....Because there is no safe level (of a harmful substance), ventilation systems cannot claim or give the impression that they will protect people......

"Because there is no safe level of a harmful substance".....I love this argument most of all because it proves how scientifically inept these smoking ban activists are......Do you really want to go there ANR? Because with that mentality you should stop breathing this instant........are you familiar with the harmful substance carbon dioxide? CO2 is fatal to humans at a concentration of 20%, yet with every breath you inhale a concentration of 0.038%......of a "harmful substance" do you really believe your own misinformation? Besides OSHA regulates indoor air quality not the EPA......and OSHA's entire existence is determining safe levels of "harmful substances" in thousands of airborne compounds.....man made and naturally occurring.

Consider these air quality test results of secondhand smoke by Johns Hopkins University, the American Cancer Society, a Minnesota Environmental Health Department, and various researchers whose testing and report was peer reviewed and published in the esteemed British Medical Journal......proving that secondhand smoke is 2.6 - 25,000 times SAFER than occupational (OSHA) workplace regulations:

All nullify the argument that secondhand smoke is a workplace "health hazard".

Conversely, the effects of unnecessary, pharmaceutical nicotine funded, smoking ban laws have been profoundly detrimental:
