The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power … has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false.
~ Theodor Adorno (1903–1969)
31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying that there is no scientific evidence of anthropogenic global warming (AGW). Meaning that more scientists don't believe man causes global warming than not. Many in the new press have been saying for decades that AGW is a hoax. There has been evidence for decades that AGW is a political tool not a scientific consensus much less scientific fact.
From Jonathan Schell's, "Our Fragile Earth," (Discover, October 1989); p. 44, lead author of several UNIPCC reports, Stanford professor of climatology Stephen Schneider, said, "We need to get some broad based support, to capture the public's imagination … so we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic statements and make little mention of any doubts. ... each of us has to decide what the right balance is between being effective and being honest."
From Michael Fumento's, "Science Under Siege: Balancing Technology and the Environment" (William Morrow & Company, 1993); p. 362, current head of the United Nations Foundation, Timothy Wirth, said, "We've got to ride this global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."
From Calgary Herald, Dec. 14, 1998, we read that former Canadian minister of the environment, Christine Stewart, told editors and reporters, "No matter if the science of global warming is all phony … climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world."
The Huffington Post, Oct. 10, 2009, reported that based on a British High Court in London finding significant factual errors in Al Gore’s film, "An Inconvenient Truth, the British filmmaker Phelim McAleer asked Al Gore at the Conference for Environmental Journalists what he was going to do to revise his film, McAleer’s microphone was abruptly shut off and Mr. Gore refused to answer the question.
Newsweek reports after Gore found out that Timothy LaSalle, CEO of the Rodale Institute, was informing the public that CO2 need not be a problem, stating, "If we feed the biology and manage grasslands appropriately, we could sequester as much carbon as we emit," one of Gore's assistant told LaSalle to dial down his estimate.
The Newsweek article also says one of Gore's favorite quotes is from the philosopher Theodor Adorno (1903–1969): "The conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power … has attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false."
Obviously making decisions on sound science is not and has not been the objective. AGW is a typical leftist ideology; the objective is to bring power to leftist elite, therefore pseudoscience, no matter how phony, is acceptable.
All of this is old news which has been systematically ignored or suppressed by the main stream media. Climategate should not be a surprise to anybody. The proponents of AGW have been saying for decades that the science doesn't matter, that AGW is a means to power. We just haven’t listened to them. Climategate is just more evidence that AGW is not based on solid science, that there is no scientific, and that there has been organized suppression of people and data that doesn’t support the AGW theory. At Copenhagen next week we will find out why; as we watch President Obama, turn over US sovereignty to an oligarchy of elite non-elected bureaucrats that will have the ability to create laws outside our constitution. It appears that the goal is, and always has been, for the left to succeed in weakening the US, and the systematic rape of US wealth. The citizens of the USA will be subject to taxes and laws by people and foreign entities who are in no way accountable to the people. It may be the end of our representative republic. Hopefully we the people will be able to pressure our elected senators not to ratify any treaty that comes out of Copenhagen.
Spare me, Tom. There are plenty of scientists who are not part of the "leftist elite" (please educate me - is there a rightist elite? i never hear about it) who have accepted or even advanced the evidence that climate change is happening and is driven in large part by manmade emissions of greenhouse gases. I don't rely on Al Gore for my scientific expertise - and you shouldn't get too hung up on him when he's not the driver of this issue. The science, and the scientists, are.
ReplyDeleteMissed the whole point, or did you quit reading after the first paragraph. The science is bad, and the left knows it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about a rightest Elite, but there is a corporate elite, I believe we call that the Bush Family.
AGW is just bad science. If it were good science then maybe one of the climate models would have predicted the temperature decline int he past 10 years, none did.
If it was good science then they would have been sharing thier data and methodology instead of sayint "trust us".
If it were good science they wouldn't have been witholding data etc.
