On February 20th, the noted
meteorologist, Dr. Roy W. Spencer, fed up with being called a “denier” of
global warming, posted a commentary on his blog titled “Time to push back against the global warming Nazis.”
“When politicians and scientists started calling
people like me ‘deniers’, they crossed the line. They are still doing it,” said
Dr. Spencer. “They indirectly equate (1) the skeptics’ view that global warming
is not necessarily all manmade nor a serious problem with (2) the denial that
the Nazi’s extermination of millions of Jews ever happened.” The Holocaust
happened, but global warming’s latest natural cycle ended about 17 years ago
and, as a lot of people have noticed, it has been getting cold since then.
“Like the Nazis,” said Dr. Spencer, “they advocate
the supreme authority of the state (fascism), which in turn supports their
scientific research to support their cause…” In the case of global warming,
this huge hoax was put forth by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change.
The UN would like to be the world’s global
government, but that’s not going to happen. In the meantime, the IPCC provided
scientists that cooperated with lots of money for their alleged research, all
of which “proved” that carbon dioxide was dramatically heating the Earth.
Others like Al Gore made millions selling “carbon credits”. Along the way, both
Gore and the IPCC received a Nobel Peace Prize.
Dr. Spencer received a Ph.D. in meteorology at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1981. He was a Senior Scientists for Climate
Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center where he and a colleague, Dr.
John Christy received NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their
global temperature monitoring work with satellites. He became a Principal
Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001 and
continues to advise NASA as a U.S. Science Team Leader. As he points out on his
blog, his research has been supported by U.S. government agencies, so the usual
claim by Greens that he is a paid stooge of Big Oil just doesn’t work in his
case.
Dr. Spencer’s decision to call a Nazi a Nazi
ignited a lot of discussion among the global warming hustlers and those whom
they have been calling “deniers” for many years. I always found it particularly
offensive, but I suspect those I called charlatans and hustlers felt the same
way. The difference, however, is the connotation applied to the term, “denier.”
Even today anti-Semites of various descriptions deny that six million Jews died
in the death camps of Nazi Germany during World War Two along with millions
Christians and Eastern Slavic Europeans
What makes this particularly offensive and horrid
is the fact that those in the Nazi leadership under Adolf Hitler were all
environmentalists, deeply committed to conservation and similar expressions
that put the Earth above the value of human life.
This is all revealed in a book by R. Mark Musser,
“Nazi Oaks”, now in its third printing. Musser was introduced to
environmentalism at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, from which
he graduated in 1989. In 1994 he received Master of Divinity and spent seven
years as a missionary to Belarus and in the Ukraine.
Musser’s book is absolutely astonishing as he
documents how “Green” the Nazis were from their earliest years until their
defeat. It was Heinrich Himmler, the Reich Leader from 1929 to 1945, who was
responsible for the “Final Solution”, the mass killing of Europe’s Jews. He led
the Nazi party’s SS.
As Musser notes, “The Nazis were trying to
eliminate both global capitalism and international communism in order to
recover a reverence for nature lost in the modern cosmopolitan world.” The
Nazis also held Judeo-Christian values in contempt.
“That this evolutionary Nazi nature religion was
clothed in secular biology and colored by environmental policies and practices,
is a historical truth that has been ignored and underreported for too long a
time in all the discussions about the Holocaust,” writes Musser.
I am inclined to believe that it is no accident
that the global warming charlatans began to use the term “deniers” to describe
skeptics.
By 2011, a Gallup poll that surveyed people in 111
countries revealed that most of the human race did not see global warming as a
serious threat. Still, worldwide 42% told Gallup that they thought global
warming was either ‘somewhat serious’ or ‘very serious.’ That was down from 63%
in polls taken in 2007 and 2008 in the U.S.
More than just a spat between scientists, in April
2012, the Congressional Research Service estimated that, since 2008, the
federal government had spent nearly $70 billion on ‘climate change activities.’
That kind of money could build or repair a lot of bridges and roads. It could
fund elements of our military. It could be spent on something other than a
climate over which neither the government nor anyone in the world has any
influence.
Bursting onto the national stage, Dr. Spencer’s
decision to call the global warming scientists Nazis for their efforts to
intimidate or smear the reputations of those whose research disputes their
claims, Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. a Wall Street Journal columnist, wrote on March
1 that “Surely some kind of ending is upon us. Last week climate protesters
demanded the silencing of Charles Krauthammer for a Washington Post column that
notices uncertainties in the global warming hypothesis.”
“In coming weeks,” wrote Jenkins, “a libel trial
gets under way brought by Penn State’s Michael Mann, author of the famed
"hockey stick" graph (Editor’s note: an IPCC graph
Mann created that asserted a sudden, major increase in heat has been
widely debunked) against the National Review, the Competitive Enterprise
Institute, writer Rand Simberg and roving commentator Mark Steyn for making
wisecracks about his climate work.”
Revelations of several thousand emails between IPCC
scientists, one of whom was Mann, were christened “climategate” and
demonstrated the efforts in which they engaged to suppress the publication of
any papers that questioned global warming in scientific journals. As the
climate turned cooler, they became increasingly alarmed.
What we are likely witnessing are the long death
throes of the global warming hoax. Calling those scientists and others like
myself “deniers” and other names simply reveals the desperation of those who
are seeing a great source of money slip away under the spotlight of scientific
truth, nor will they be able to impose their lies on the rest of us.
