Green Science Politics

I get to talk to lots of sincere, troubled young people whose brainwashing has led them to ask, "...but how can so many scientists be so wrong, with all those computer models?" Even one of my co-workers asked, "There are so many scientists warning about the coming global catastrophe. Why would so many qualified scientists make something like that up? There is bound to be something to these warnings, don't you think?" What they do not understand is that the smaller steering commmittee of the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Control, 2000+ scientists), is made up of politicians who largely control which conclusions reach the public ear. Moreover, laymen cannot generally understand the idea that EVEN A SCIENTIST can have an ideological bias. So the IPCC can simply ignore things that would moderate the "crisis," (feedback mechanisms, sunspot activity)in favor of ideas more consistent with the dire warnings. In view of Van Jones' background, it should now be clear to the naive Chicken Little folks who are paying attention can now see just how politically motivated and dangerous green "science" can be, when a radical Communist socialist law school graduate is actually appointed Green Czar.

Canadian climatogist Timothy Ball put it this way back in 2007 in an interview. Q: "Why should we be leery of the IPCC’s report—or the summary of the report?"

A: "Well, because the report is the end product of a political agenda, and it is the political agenda of a group of people…who believe that industrialization and development and capitalism and the Western way is a terrible system and they want to bring it down. They couldn’t do it by attacking energy because they know that would get the public’s back up very quickly…. The vehicle they chose was CO2, because that’s the byproduct of industry and fossil-fuel burning, which of course drives the whole thing. They think, 'If we can show that this is destroying the planet, then it allows us to control.' Unfortunately, you’ve got a bunch of scientists who have this political agenda as well, and they have effectively controlled the IPCC process."
