The public does not realize that altering the measured data so that it matches the computer model is not the way predictive science is supposed to work. It is just a leftist attempt at the old trick of orchestrated crisis, this time to gain control of the means of production.
“... until the professors lucked out with global warming.”
Looks like football coaches have been right all along, you make your own luck.
“You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time” applies here. Smart man that Mr. Twain.
The Global Warming Scam is something I use to think was created by the Third World to get its hands in our pockets and used by our own politicans to grab more power. I've come to the conclusion that unlike Lysenkoism the damage here is deliberate. The enemies of the American Republic are using this as the excuse to make the West die.
We can’t be quiet about this, or just talk to one another.
What we do need are simple facts that blow holes in this propaganda......and plant them as seeds to people.
Problem is, it seems that we have no agenda. We listen to shows, videos, forums.... read the latest shocking book. And it stops there.
Our only hope is the next election? The left understands that, and we saw how the last one came out.
We need, at least, some strategy. It feels like a one sided war.
In the 70s, it was global cooling hysteria.
Now we have global warming hysteria, errrr, global climate change.
All the while, the climate greenies fail miserably to acknowledge that the Earth naturally induces ages of global warming, global cooling, and global climate change ON ITS OWN!
Global warming is only one of many current scientific frauds that enhance the welfare of the scientists and bureaucrats promoting the frauds.
The Climate Change “crisis” is a part of the foundation for the “great Reset.” Leaders of the UN machine such as Christiana Figueres have been clear, the whole motivation is not environmental but political, to “transform” the economic system of the globe to accommodate a benevolent dictatorship of the elite.
All the institutions and powers that be have been co-opted into this enterprise, with the enthusiastic collusion of the media..
“...Money and influence flooded from Washington to academia...”
AND... flooded academia. It’s an industry... like ‘civil rights’
Climate change/ global warming has long ceased to be any valid scientific theory and has morphed into a cult religion with an unassailable dogma. No one can question this dogma without being called a denier i.e. heretic. There is even an informal Climate Change Inquisition that will seek to destroy the credibility of anyone who would dare to question the climate change dogma. I am reminded of Galileo whose scientific challenge to the Church dogma of an earth centered universe put him into house arrest for the remainder of his life and had his book put on the index of prohibited works for more than 300 years.
The main reason that the global warming scare exists is due to NOAA data homogenization of the raw thermometer data. Those adjustments cause much of the claimed "global warming".
All it would take to end the farce would be to replace Gavin Schmidt at NOAA with a real climate scientist to correct the homogenization algorithm that is applied to raw thermometer data.
Currently past raw data is primarily cooled, and recent raw data is primarily warmed by the adjustments. This seems completely backwards. Increasing populations and urban sprawl should be causing an increase in the urban heat island effect, so the adjustments to raw data should be in the opposite direction.
Today, we have virtually no data for approximately 85% of the Earth’s surface. Indeed, there are fewer weather stations in operation now than there were in 1960.
That means HadCRUT4 and other surface temperature computations after about 1980 are meaningless. Combining this with the sensitivity (accuracy) problems in the early data, and the fact that we have almost no long-term data above Earth’s surface, the conclusion is unavoidable:
It is not possible to know how or whether Earth’s climate has varied over the past century and a half. The data are therefore useless for input to the computer models that form the basis of the IPCC’s conclusions.
