I will never understand the kind of thinking behind a lie
so big that it became an international fraud and swindle. I cannot understand
why an international organization, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change, (IPCC) operating under the umbrella of the United Nations, was
permitted to issue reports of an imminent threat to the Earth, to mankind, that
a freshman student of meteorology would know were false.
At long last the Big Lie of Global Warming has been
totally exposed and we can thank The Heartland
Institute, a free market think tank that has organized and hosted
eight international Conferences on Climate Change since 2008 to expose the lies
behind global warming—now called “climate change”—as it became clear that
seventeen years of continuous cooling has put a Big Chill on this Big Lie.
I suspect that the Heartland team, led by Joe Bast and
including some remarkable, dedicated people, will only get a line or two in
some future historian’s account of the deception that began in 1988 before a
congressional committee. Thereafter the global warming hoax was given momentum
by former Vice President Al Gore who, along with the IPCC, would receive a
Nobel Peace Prize!
It helps to have a sense of humor when you are doing battle
with hucksters who have the entire world’s media to defend them. The climate
“skeptics”—some of the world’s most renowned meteorologists—dubbed their effort
the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) and, working
with the Heartland Institute, have just released a new edition of “Climate Change Reconsidered II.”
It arrives just as the IPCC will release its 5th
Assessment Report. The IPCC’s lies will get lots of news coverage. Heartland's
NIPCC report was fortunate to have notice taken by Fox News, but beyond that
most of the intransigent U.S. news media ignored it.
As often as not one has to look to foreign newspapers to
get the truth. In Great Britain’s The Mail,
the headline on September 14 was “Global warming just HALF what we said:
World’s top climate scientists admit computers got the effects of greenhouse
gases wrong.” A leaked copy of the IPCC report revealed “scientific forecasts
of imminent doom were drastically wrong.”
Well, of course, they were wrong. The so-called “science”
on which they were based was idiotic. It focused primarily on carbon dioxide
(CO2) and other so-called “greenhouse gases”, claiming they were trapping heat
while being produced by all manner of human activity related to generating
energy with coal, oil, and natural gas.
Dr. Martin Hertzberg, Ph,D, co-author of “Slaying the Sky
Dragon—Death of the Greenhouse Gas Theory”, summed it up neatly, pointing out
that water vapor in the Earth’s atmosphere is a primary factor affecting
climate long term and weather short term.
“The determinant of weather is mainly water in all its
forms,” said Dr. Herzberg, “as vapor in the atmosphere, in its heat transport
by evaporation and condensation, as the enormous circulating mass of liquid
ocean whose heat capacity and mass/energy transport dominate the motions of our
atmosphere and the precipitation from it, and finally as cloud, snow, and ice
cover which influence the radiative balance between the Sun, the Earth, and
free Space.”
As you try to wrap your mind around that explanation, just
think about the way the Earth goes through regular seasons as well as
predictable cycles of warming and cooling. It has done this now for some 4.5
billion years.
To read "Climate Change Reconsidered II", visit
its website. Among its
findings, the report notes that “no close correlation exists between
temperature variation over the past 150 years and human related CO2 emissions.”
Blaming the climate or even the weather on humans is insane. You might as well
blame the floods in Colorado on humans instead of the downpours of rain,
comparable to 1894 and 1969.
Indeed, the U.S. gives ample evidence of greatly reduced
events associated with the weather. There have been fewer tornadoes over recent
decades. It’s been eight years since a Category 3 hurricane hit the U.S.
Droughts have been shorter and less extreme than the 1930s and 1950s. And sea
levels are predicted to increase barely four to eight inches per century and that may be on the high side.
There will be dramatic weather events, but there have always been dramatic weather events!
The Heartland’s new report is welcome, but both they and
I know that the same deceitful charlatans are still at work in the United
Nations, in the United States, and around the world to keep this greatest of
hoaxes alive.
The harm the global warming hoax has done and continues
to do is best seen in the efforts of the Environmental Protection Agency to
wipe out the coal industry based entirely on the lie that CO2 is a “pollutant.”
When the House Energy & Commerce Committee held a hearing on the Obama administration’s
climate policies thirteen agencies were invited to testify, but the
administration provided only EPA administrator Gina McCarty and Energy
Secretary Ernest Moniz. The latter read a prepared statement that was one long
lie about global warming. Presumably he was under oath!
Ms. McCarty, the latest in a long line of environmental
fanatics to run the agency, was forced under questioning to admit that current
and proposed greenhouse gas regulations are not
there to protect the public but to influence “the international community” to
reduce their CO2 and other alleged emissions. Not only do the regulations have
no basis in science, but they exist to keep the environmental war on energy use
going and to pressure developing nations such as China and India. Within the
past month, the citizens of Australia rose up and threw out the politicians who
imposed a “carbon” tax on them. The new prime minister has shut down the
“climate ministry” that existed to enforce it.
And while most of the world wasn’t watching, the United
Nations was seeking to impose, once again, an international agreement similar
to the failed and defunct Kyoto Protocol to limit CO2 and other greenhouse
emissions, based on the BIG LIE! The 44th Pacific Islands Forum,
held in the Marshall Islands, was intent on “an ambitious future climate regime
to be finalized in 2015.”
That is what must be understood. These people will not
give up until they have no other option. They will continue to exploit the
ignorance of people regarding the actual science, penalizing them by driving up
the cost of energy use, by closing down energy industries, prospective
projects, and the jobs they provide,
They sustain the malignant ethanol scam that is ruining
engines as this is being written. They are behind the useless solar panel and
wind turbine industries that produce so little actual electricity they are a
negative drag on the national grid. You, however, are picking up the tab for
their mandated use. They practice a form of child abuse to tell children the
Earth is doomed if their mother uses a plastic bag to bring groceries home from
the supermarket.
The world’s BIGGEST LIE has been exposed and it will have
to be exposed again and again until a stake is driven into the evil heart of
the “global warming” hoax.
