James Hoggan and Richard Littlemore have written a powerful book exposing the efforts of the fossil industries to confuse the public and policy makers about the science of climate change. After all, if there is scientific doubt about climate change – either the causes, or the effects – then we don’t really have to do anything, do we? “This is a story of betrayal, a story of selfishness, greed, and irresponsibility on an epic scale.” The book exposes the public relations techniques used, the players, and the funding. It is a warning to all about media manipulation, and it is a lesson in public relations.

....."The book has chapter after chapter that outlines exactly how the climate deniers manipulate the media, and public opinion" (accusing the opposition of doing what they do on a daily basis)
....."It talks about the manipulation of media, by creating spokespeople from “think tanks” (it would seem that in many cases, very little thinking actually occurs in these tanks), who with few credentials, are given the same platform as legitimate scientists." Gee, I thought that's what Bill Nye the Science Guy and Algore were doing.
There is a lot more at the link.
Return to the Planet of the Apes.
I don’t normally post, so I hope I did it correctly.
I did search and did not find the article.
Bump for global warming and wind power discussion
No barf alert? And why give these propagandists any free publicity?
The public never hears about the science of climate change. All they get is hysterical propaganda from pseudo-scientists like Algore and corrupted scientists like James Hansen and that Mann hockey-stick guy.
And did you know that this epic book was endorsed by noted scientist Leonardo Dicaprio?
Conspiracy? It’s blowin’ in the wind.
BARF ALERT
Great find, SS. I don’t start many threads, either.
“Human caused global warming” has become a cult, a matter of faith. It really has nothing to do with the measurable rise in tempetures since the end of the Mini-Ice Age, nor with the increase in tempeture readings throughout the solar system. If it is happening on Earth, it is Man’s Fault, and We Must DO SOMETHING About It. Those who question this view are heretics, and you know what happens to heretics.

I'm ashamed I forgot to warn everyone...
Ah, that explains it. It’s all the evil oil companies. Uh huh.
Of course, government funding is 100% non-corrupt and altruistic. Also, you can always trust government data, for example NASA temperature maps that show Lake Michigan at 604 degrees: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2572491/posts
Hoggan is the Desmogblog guy from Canada.
He owns a public relations firm.
Projection.
Climate Deniers - Even the choice of those words is loaded. What does it remind you as soon as you hear those words? Who are other famous deniers? By that alone it sounds like hoax and propoganda, intended to put pressure on anyone who doesn’t go along with it.
Second, it went from Global-Warming to Climate Change, specially when we ran into some really tough winters, so it is almost like NWO Elites decided that the GW term was not as effective, so all of a sudden they started calling it Climate Change. Why? Synchronization of the switch is indicative of global-plan and global-reach.
Then the enthusiasm of the front men for Central Bankers - Goldman Sachs and such hired 100 Lobbyists to push for Cap-N-Trade. Unless you believe Lloyd Blankfein is indeed doing Lord’s work, it has FRAUD written all over it.
Good works are done in Sunshine, not by hiring 100 Lobbyists and taking out positions in firms that would benefit by Cap-N-Trade.
Another great “Climate Change” guy, Mr. Ken Lay, met with Clinton and Gore to come up with this brilliant Cap-N-Trade idea in Clinton White House. Look at the origin of this great plan. Fraud and deceit at heart of it.
Finally, Bankers have declared SUPPORT on Cap-n-trade as liscence to SOFTEN your image. You can become a good guy if you go along with that plan. If you want to prove you are not some backward thinking Conservative as they accuse Sarah Palin to be, then ALL you have to do is go along with Cap-N-Trade, and JUST LIKE THAT you become a forward thinking modern man or woman.
For those who already don’t know, CARBON TAX is needed to pay for NWO.
Fight it. Forget about emotional issues. Fight to protect your liberty and freedom.
I take it the Icelandic volcano, Mt. Etna, Mt. Kiluea (sp), and so forth are all climate deniers. Even St. Helens.
Katla is the worst though. Sneaky b@$tard.
Don’t forget businesses like Battelle, which are hiring people for carbon ‘management’ and sequestration programs. NOW.
According to Paul Driessen (author of Eco-Imperialism) on the G. Gordon Liddy show 12/1/09, hour 2: The US government has funded $90 billion in GW research over the past 20 years promoting climate crisis science.
I rather doubt that Big Oil can match Big Government's deep pockets in defense of their industry.
That is exactly right. We have scientific doubt and we don't need to do anything.
No Smoking Hot Spot (The Australian)
That article takes Greenhouse Theory at face value and by the criterion set up in the theory itself finds no evidence of warming on the basis of greenhouse effect.
The Hidden Flaw in Greenhouse Theory
Falsification Of The Atmospheric CO2 Greenhouse Effects Within The Frame Of Physics
Harvard astrophysicist dismisses AGW theory, challenges peers to 'take back climate science'
It Is Impossible For A 100 ppm Increase In Atmospheric CO2 Concentration To Cause Global Warming
Those four articles each show that Greenhouse Theory has no basis in reality due to a direct conflict with the known laws of physics. No wonder the smoking gun "hotspot" can't be found.
Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud
That article pretty much puts the kibosh on any serious trend of planetary warming from any cause. Think about it. If there is absolutely no sign at all of rising sea levels how could the planet be warming? Beyond the centuries long slow warming of the earth and rising of the seas of course. But that is only a few millimeters per century due to the inter-glacial period we are in.
