THE scientific consensus that mankind has caused climate change was rocked yesterday as a leading academic called it a load of hot air underpinned by fraud. Professor Ian Plimer condemned the climate change lobby as climate comrades keeping the gravy train going.
In a controversial talk just days before the start of a climate summit attended by world leaders in Copenhagen, Prof Plimer said Governments were treating the public like fools and using climate change to increase taxes.
He said carbon dioxide has had no impact on temperature and that recent warming was part of the natural cycle of climate stretching over billions of years.
If you have to argue your science by using fraud, your science is not valid.

Prof Plimer - author of Heaven and Earth: Global Warming, The Missing Science - told a London audience: Climates always change. They always have and they always will. They are driven by a number of factors that are random and cyclical.
His comments came days after a scandal in climate-change research emerged through the leak of emails from the world-leading research unit at the University of East Anglia. They appeared to show that scientists had been massaging data to prove that global warming was taking place
The Climate Research Unit also admitted getting rid of much of its raw climate data, which means other scientists cannot check the subsequent research. Last night the head of the CRU, Professor Phil Jones, said he would stand down while an independent review took place.

THE scientific consensus that mankind has caused climate change was rocked yesterday as a leading academic called it a load of hot air underpinned by fraud.

Prof Plimer told a London audience: Climates always change. They always have and they always will. They are driven by a number of factors that are random and cyclical.WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS CLIMATE CHANGE BEING USED AS AN EXCUSE TO CHARGE MORE TAX?
DO YOU AGREE WITH PROFESSOR PLIMER'S VIEWS ON THE ENVIRONMENT?
HAVE YOUR SAY NOW!
Where are the headlines in the American Media on this?....
This makes me mad as hell! These rat bastards were prepared to bankrupt America with phony bullcrap figures on global warming!
It’s all a damn fraud!....
Thanks Ernest.
Ya just gotta love it when one of the biggest liberal frauds and hoaxes explodes righy in their face and wipes em out. The cause is now hopelessly compromised and can never ever recover from such a big blow no matter what Al ******* Gore says or does.
Next week the LA Times might have something to say....maybe!
I am calling my local fishwrap and complain loudly about their reprinting the AP stories ....
Last week they had one that said Glowbal Warming was speeding up....PURE B***L CR****P
See #14.
ping!
In the meantime, Which Story is Sinister Media Pursuing?
It's not as if Tiger, in his possible error, had been aiding and abetting those on the verge of enslaving the entire planet.
The MSM in the United States may look to this single issue when they commence their periodic navel-gazing over what happened to their credibility (and their audience). They have a grand show set up in Copenhagen next week and that takes precedence over the news. They aren't journalists anymore, they're "making a difference" and "changing the world," and their audience is to be instructed, not informed.
No wonder they want to control the Internet.
Considering the way this administration has treated the CIA, that would have been one sweet revenge and poetic justice.
