“It is the greatest deception in history and the
extent of the damage has yet to be exposed and measured,” says Dr. Tim Ball in
his new book, “The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science”.
Dr. Ball has been a climatologist for more than
forty years and was one of the earliest critics of the global warming hoax that
was initiated by the United Nations environmental program that was established
in 1972 and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established in
1988.
Several UN conferences set in motion the hoax that
is based on the assertion that carbon dioxide (CO2) was causing a dramatic
surge in heating the Earth. IPCC reports have continued to spread this lie
through their summaries for policy makers that influenced policies that have
caused nations worldwide to spend billions to reduce and restrict CO2
emissions. Manmade climate change—called anthropogenic global warming—continues
to be the message though mankind plays no role whatever.
There is no scientific support for the UN theory.
CO2, despite being a minor element of the Earth’s
atmosphere, is essential for all life on Earth because it is the food that
nourishes all vegetation. The Earth has passed through many periods of high
levels of CO2 and many cycles of warming and cooling that are part of the life
of the planet.
“Science works by creating theories based on
assumptions,” Dr. Ball notes, “then other scientists—performing their skeptical
role—test them. The structure and mandate of the IPCC was in direct
contradiction of this scientific method. They set out to prove the theory
rather than disprove it.”
“The atmosphere,” Dr. Ball notes, “is
three-dimensional and dynamic, so building a computer model that even
approximates reality requires far more data than exists and much greater understanding
of an extremely turbulent and complex system.” No computer model put forth by
the IPCC in support of global warming has been accurate, nor ever could be.
Most of the reports were created by a small group
of men working within the Climate Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East
Anglia and all were members of the IPCC. The result was “a totally false
picture supposedly based on science.”
The revelations of emails between the members of
the CRU were made available in 2009 by an unknown source. Dr. Ball quotes Phil
Jones, the Director of the CRU at the time of the leaks, and Tom Wigley, a
former director addressing other CRU members admitting that “Many of the
uncertainties surrounding the cause of climate change will never be resolved
because the necessary data are lacking.”
The IPCC depended upon the public’s lack of
knowledge regarding the science involved and the global warming hoax was
greatly aided because the “mainstream media bought into and promoted the unproven
theory. Scientists who challenged were denied funding and marginalized.
National environmental policies were introduced based on the misleading
information” of the IPCC summaries of their reports.
“By the time of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report,
the politics and hysteria about climate change had risen to a level that
demanded clear evidence of a human signal,” notes Dr. Ball. “An entire industry
had developed around massive funding from government. A large number of
academic, political, and bureaucratic careers had evolved and depended on
expansion of the evidence. Environmentalists were increasing pressure on the
public and thereby politicians.”
The growing problem for the CRU and the entire
global warming hoax was that no clear evidence existed to blame mankind for
changes in the climate and still largely unknown to the public was the fact
that the Earth has passed through many natural cycles of warmth and cooling. If
humans were responsible, how could the CRU explain a succession of ice ages
over millions of years?
The CRU emails revealed their growing concerns
regarding a cooling cycle that had begun in the late 1990s and now, some
seventeen years later, the Earth is in a widely recognized cooling cycle.
Moreover, the hoax was aimed at vast reductions in
the use of coal, oil, and natural gas, as well as nuclear power to produce the
electricity on which all modern life depends. There was advocacy of solar and
wind power to replace them and nations undertook costly programs to bring about
the reduction of the CO2 “fossil fuels” produced and spent billions on the
“green” energy. That program is being abandoned.
At the heart of the hoax is a contempt for mankind
and a belief that population worldwide should be reduced. The science advisor
to President Obama, John Holdren, has advocated forced abortions, sterilization
by introducing infertility drugs into the nation’s drinking water and food, and
other totalitarian measures. “Overpopulation is still central to the use of
climate change as a political vehicle,” warns Dr. Ball.
Given that the environmental movement has been
around since the 1960s, it has taken decades for the public to grasp its intent
and the torrents of lies that have been used to advance it. “More people,”
notes Dr. Ball, “are starting to understand that what they’re told about
climate change by academia, the mass media, and the government is wrong,
especially the propaganda coming from the UN and the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change.”
“Ridiculous claims—like the science is settled or
the debate is over—triggered a growing realization that something was wrong.”
When the global warming advocates began to tell people that cooling is caused
by warming, the public has realized how absurd the entire UN climate change
argument has been.
Worse, however, has been “the deliberate
deceptions, misinformation, manipulation of records and misapplying scientific
method and research” to pursue a political objective. Much of this is clearly
unlawful, but it is unlikely that any of those who perpetrated the hoax will
ever be punished and, in the case of Al Gore and the IPCC, they shared a Nobel
Peace Prize.
We are all in debt to Dr. Ball and a score of his
fellow scientists who exposed the lies and debunked the hoax; their numbers are
growing with thousands of scientists signing petitions and participating in
international conferences to expose this massive global deception.
