In a recent Daily Caller article, Michael Bastach took note of “25 Years
of predicting The Global Warming ‘Tipping
Point’.” This is the message that the Earth is warming rapidly and,
if we don’t abandon the use of fossil fuels for power, it will arrive to wreak
destruction on the human race and all life on the planet.
It is astounding how many past and present world leaders are telling
everyone this despite the total lack of any real science, nor any actual
warming—the Earth has been in a natural cooling cycle since 1997!
At the heart of the global warming—now called climate change—“crisis”
has been the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
that has been issuing apocalyptic predictions since its inception in 1988. None
of its predictions have come true. How could they, based as they are on the
false science of computer models, not that based on observable climate events
and trends?
To this day our own government through its meteorological agencies has
been caught manipulating the data gathered over the years to conform with the
“warming” scenario. The worst has been the Environmental Protection Agency
which is engaged in an effort to shut down coal-fired utilities and access to
every other energy source on which we depend to power the nation.
Despite this national and international effort, mostly likely based on
the liberal ideology that there are too many humans on the plant and dramatic
ways must be found to reduce that number. In the past these anti-humanity
advocates could depend on famine, disease and wars to kill off millions, but in
the modern world that has become less of a threat.
One libertarian think tank, the Heartland Institute, has been leading
the battle against the global warming/climate change hoax for a decade. As a
Heartland policy advisor I have had a front row seat. In June, Heartland will
sponsor the Tenth International Conference on Climate Change bringing together
some of the world’s leading scientists to recommend that it is time for
Congress to “take a fresh look at climate science”, “explore better
science-based policies for energy and the environment”, and, bluntly stated, to
“start over on the question of global warming?”
It did not surprise me to learn that Heartland had dispatched staff to
Rome when the Pope announced he too was joining the “climate change” advocates
despite its lack of any basis in science. The group garnered tons of
international media coverage by simply presenting the truth. You can find out
more about them here, It didn’t take long for Jeffrey Sachs, a
Columbia University professor and ‘special advisor” to United Nations Secretary
General Ban Ki-Moon, to write a commentary condemning global warming “deniers”
that appeared on a Catholic website called Pewsitter.
Sachs took particular aim at The Heartland Institute and, despite not
attending its Rome press conference or any of the presentations the experts
provided, did not hesitate to identify Heartland as having been supported for
years by the Koch brothers, known for the support of conservative groups and
causes.
Joseph Bast, Heartland
president, does not let such cheap shots pass by. “The Heartland
Instituter has received just $25,000 from a single organization, a charitable
foundation affiliated with the Koch brothers during the past 15 years. Our
annual budget is approximately $7 million. Even that small gift was earmarked
for our work on health care reform, not global warming. Why does Sachs mention
the ‘Koch brothers’ unless his intention is to smear an independent
organization by falsely implying a much larger or somehow Improper level of
support from some singularly unpopular billionaires?”
Bast got to the heart of the war being perpetrated by the either
misinformed or deliberately lying world leaders of the climate change hoax.
“The dishonesty of Sachs’ reference to The Heartland Institute would be
startling, coming from a person of Sachs’ stature, if this sort of
misrepresentation of facts weren’t so common in the debate over climate change.
President Obama sets the tone. Comparing global warming realists to members of
the ‘flat earth society’ and rather ominously calling on his supporters to
‘hold climate change denier’s feet to the fire.’”
“Sachs has had a long and distinguished career as an academic and in
various government agencies,” said Bast, “but on this issue he is letter his liberal
ideology cloud his judgment. His short essay reveals a disturbing lack of
knowledge about climate science and compassion toward the billions of people in
the world who will be harmed by the UN’s plans to make energy more expensive and
less reliable.”
“Sachs ends his essay with a call on people of all faiths to ‘fulfill
our moral responsibilities to humanity nd the future of Earth.’ That
responsibility starts with truth-telling. Sachs and his colleagues on the left
haven’t reach the starting line yet.”
It doesn’t matter if it is the Pope, the President of the United States,
or the UN Secretary General if the assertion that the Earth is warming when it
is not or that coal, oil and natural gas must be abandoned to “save the Earth.”
Whether from ignorance or a dark hidden agenda, the whole of the global
warming/climate change is aimed at harming billions, many of whom need the
power that this hoax would deny to everyone.
