Climate Change, Politics & Money

It’s all about the politics and moneygrubbing fatcats who can smell a gullible public. You.

Unfortunately, a lot of disinformation about where Earth’s climate is heading is being propagated by “scientists” who use improper statistical methods, short-term temperature trends, or faulty computer models to make analytical and anecdotal projections about the significance of man-made influences to Earth’s climate.

“Researchers pound the global-warming drum because they know there is politics and, therefore, money behind it. . . I’ve been critical of global warming and am persona non grata.”
Dr. William Gray, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado and leading expert of hurricane prediction in an interview for the Denver Rocky Mountain News, November 28, 1999

NOTE: Academics who apply for funds to study climate change related science have been known to have their applications approved speedily. Other academics who study other science are known to have been processed through the rigorous beaurocracy and still had funding denied for important research.

Below are some more interesting facts which Al Gore’s video ‘omitted’ to mention:

According to Monte Hieb, “CO2 in our atmosphere has been increasing steadily for the last 18,000 years– long before humans invented smokestacks ( Figure 1). Unless you count campfires and intestinal gas, man played no role in the pre-industrial increases.”

“As illustrated in this chart of Ice Core data from the Soviet Station Vostok in Antarctica, CO2 concentrations in earth’s atmosphere move with temperature. Both temperatures and CO2 have been steadily increasing for 18,000 years. Ignoring these 18,000 years of data “global warming activists” contend recent increases in atmospheric CO2 are unnatural and are the result of only 200 years or so of human pollution causing a runaway greenhouse effect.”

“Incidentally, earth’s temperature and CO2 levels today have reached levels similar to a previous interglacial cycle of 120,000 - 140,000 years ago. From beginning to end this cycle lasted about 20,000 years. This is known as the Eemian Interglacial Period and the earth returned to a full-fledged ice age immediately afterward.”

If global warming is caused by CO2 in the atmosphere then does CO2 also cause increased sun activity too? This chart illustrates that variations in sun activity are generally proportional to both variations in atmospheric CO2 and atmospheric temperature.

Put another way, rising Earth temperatures and increasing CO2 may be “effects” and our own sun the “cause“.

The case for a “greenhouse problem” is made by environmentalists, news anchormen and special interests who make inaccurate and misleading statements about global warming and climate change. Even though people may be skeptical of such rhetoric initially, after awhile people start believing it must be true because we hear it so often.

“We have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements, and make little mention of any doubts we may have. Each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest.”
Stephen Schneider (leading advocate of the global warming theory)
(in interview for Discover magazine, Oct 1989)

Experts in paleanclimatology, climatology, palaeobotany and other earth sciences have argued against the data presented to you by climate change alarmists. There is division among the academics but to date the facts I have seen do indicate that you are not being told the truth by those who revel in alarming you into action - such as paying over your hard earned cash. To bring a balanced and more factually true view, the anti-alarmist scientists presented facts that were well known to the climate change lobbyists and which condradict the alarming distortions on events and data misinformation you were given. All to no avail.

“If ‘ice age’ is used to refer to long, generally cool, intervals during which glaciers advance and retreat, we are still in one today. Our modern climate represents a very short, warm period between glacial advances.” Illinois State Museum

President Clinton kicked off the ‘convenient lie’ back in 1997. Al Gore took it to the next level - to hoodwink you into supporting green business. The politicians know full well that the fatcat vote with its attendent large financial support, is dependent on public aquiesence on climate change. So they perpetuate the falsehood.

You are being lied to.

“Unfortunately, we tend to overestimate our actual impact on the planet. In this case the magnitude of the gas emissions involved, even by the most aggressive estimates of atmospheric warming by greenhouse gases, is inadequate to account for the magnitude of temperature increases. So what causes the up and down cycles of global climate change?”

Are you a believer in the hype? Or are you a Climate Change Denier? Take the Climate Change test here and see just how much you do know.

The data you see represented here comes from Monte and Harrison Hieb’s website called Global Warming: A Chilling Perspective
