UK: CLIMATE CHANGE 'FRAUD' ( Exposed in the UK )
Daily Express (UK) ^ | Wednesday December 2,2009 | John Ingham

Posted on 12/02/2009 8:22:14 AM PST by Ernest_at_the_Beach

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.

ì
If you have to argue your science by using fraud, your science is not valid.
î

Professor Pilmer

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.

Wait until people start realizing that "health care reform" is as big a fraud and a lie as "Climate Change."

:-D

I think it is safe to say that Professor Ian Plimer has not been invited to speak in Copenhagen this month.

HAVE YOUR SAY

DEBATE: IS CLIMATE CHANGE A CON TO RAISE TAXES?

Wednesday December 2,2009

Wednesday December 2,2009

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.

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!

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.

In a sane world, the story would have broken last week, world wide, and not only just started surfacing in papers in the UK. Well, maybe, it might even be picked up by the lamest of the lamestream media -- that of America!

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 CIA should have been the source of the leak, not some anonymous whistle-blower. Failing that, Microsoft is potentially the most powerful intelligence gathering organization on Earth right now. I hope they are secretly helping to fight the forces of evil.

"Climate comrades." I love it.

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.
