Meet the man who has exposed the great climate change con trick

Imagine how wonderful the world would be if man-made global warming were just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination. No more ugly wind farms to darken our sunlit uplands. No more whopping electricity bills, artificially inflated by EU-imposed carbon taxes. No longer any need to treat each warm, sunny day as though it were some terrible harbinger of ecological doom. And definitely no need for the $7.4 trillion cap and trade (carbon-trading) bill — the largest tax in American history — which President Obama and his cohorts are so assiduously trying to impose on the US economy.

‘If you’d asked any scientist or doctor 30 years ago where stomach ulcers come from, they would all have given the same answer: obviously it comes from the acid brought on by too much stress. All of them apart from two scientists who were pilloried for their crazy, whacko theory that it was caused by a bacteria. In 2005 they won the Nobel prize. The “consensus” was wrong.’

Ian Pilmer interview !

 

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The Democrats are like the leeches that they used to use to treat disease and they all agreed leeches were the way to go.

The idea that "scientific consensus" even exists, much less that it is probative, is absurd.

The purpose of science, it's only reason for even existing, is to disrupt consensus by asking (and answering) questions.

In normal science, the best thing in life is the emergence of consensus, because it gives the scientist something to attack.

In Federally-funded science, by contrast, the process is reversed, and it's the scientists who are doing their job that are attacked.

The “consensus” was wrong.’

However, in this case there never was a consensus except in the mind of the moron Al Gore.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Thank you for this book title and its author’s name.

Dr. Pilmer is about to be pilloried as - well - a heretic in the Church of Global Warming. Look for Algore to excommunicate him next.

But good for him!

If global warming was true its “believers” would not be advocating ripping down hydro-electric dams, stopping the construction of nuclear power plants and tolling freeways.

[wita]

...and speaking of Al Gore, using mind, moron, and al gore in the same sentence, seems rather oxymoronic.

You have to remember,democrats believe your money is their money to spend at will.

It’s pretty obvious to most conservatives that the mud-worshipping envirowhacko AGW solipsists are caught in some kind of religious cult frenzy.

[angkor]

>>> The “consensus” was wrong.’ <<<<

Yes, and “consensus” is not science.

It’s the antithesis of science.

[Always Right]

However, in this case there never was a consensus except in the mind of the moron Al Gore.

It was mostly media created, but scientific organization after organization also endorsed the lunacy and most scientists were too afraid to stand up and call it bull crap. It seems most scientists were more worried about funding than truth. Kind of sad.

algore has always struck me as a little kooky anyway. Remember the gyrations he went through after losing [ yes, LOSING] in 2001 - he went into seclusion for a while, growing a beard and reverting to his 60's roots so far that he even wanted to be a college professor, the preferred profession for ex-radicals of the 60's.

The libs/media all felt sorry for him and humored him by listening to his drivel about supposed "global warming". The dems said, "Hey, this could be a catastrope of "taxonomic" proportions if we lie enough, and play it right.

The problem is, mother nature doesn't belong to any political party, and decided she would follow her normal patterns of climate change. As soon as the sunspot activity died down, we are now going into a cooling phase.

To insure his place in the annals of history, algore and his minions struck up the band - "The Media Big THree" - and started dancing the teaberry shuffle to cover themselves for being idiots.

Rationalization, rather than scientific research, ruled the day with the dems and they have found that global warming is the oddity of the universe, being able to cause not only warming, but cooling too. It is also responsible for rain, snow, hurricaines, tornadoes, blizzards, tsunamis, hailstorms, melting artic ice, and the measles.

Why anyone is still listening to a man to burns zillions of gallons of jet fuel just to fuel a fantasy and tell us to stop driving our cars and turn down our thermostats. His multi-room mansion, with its multiple air conditioners and hefty light bill are somehow exempt from global warming, as I'm thinking he's cut an under-the-table deal with Mother Nature.

It's a great thing that algore was not elected President, because like commiebama, he doesn't realize that time will expose him for the liar that he is. They say "Time heals all wounds", but in their case it will be "Time Wounds All Heels".

All the useful idiots that algore has amassed have jumped on a party-line, unproveable, and chicken-little premise to wit they will eventually be shown to be the idiots they are...and we will be deemed as "hate mongers" for laughing our asses off at them.

The globalist warmers are the flat earthers of our time. They have come to a conclusion based on bad data, and bedamn anyone who doesn’t believe it. They ache for an inquisition to rid the world of unbelievers. Despite ten years of global cooling and the benefits global warming has provided mankind for millennia. The warming religionists are drunk on the power they hold over earth’s ignorant masses.

[ontap]

In Federally-funded science, by contrast, the process is reversed, and it's the scientists who are doing their job that are attacked.

You are dead on: When scientist who disagree are attacked then science is no longer present. Science should be a back and forth between differing opinions not lock step consensus and brutal thuggery. From global warming to evolution scientific thought is dead. If you don't agree your career is finished.

[randita]

I’m already convinced that global warming, a.k.a climate change, is a scam, but I’m going to get this book just for the guy’s sense of humor. He’s a riot.

[RoadKingSE]

Does the consensus case hold water?

No, the consensus case is wrong! Would you like me to explain?

[autumnraine]

This is a really really good article and I want to buy this book.

I like this quote:
But surely Aussies of all people, with their bushfires and prolonged droughts, ought to be the last to buy into his message? ‘Ah, but the average punter is not a fool. I get sometimes as many as 1,000 letters and emails a day from people who feel helpless and disenfranchised and just bloody sick of all the nonsense they hear about global warming from metropolitan liberals who don’t even know where meat or milk comes from.’

AMEN AND AMEN! Being from farm country, we see the cycles in just decades. I can’t imagine being a geologist and seeing the climate cycles in the layers of earth.

Ridiculous how many people don’t understand how the eco system works on a small scale of food, but yet want to dictate how it works in CO2.
