Mathematicians, Legendary Physicist, IPCC Expert Throw Wrenches Into UN Climate Summit
As UN’s Paris summit approaches, one of France’s top mathematics consultancies, a legendary physicist, and a former IPCC author have joined France’s best-known TV weatherman, Philippe Verdier, in delivering black eyes and severe body blows to the increasingly discredited global-warming alarm lobby. As host of the United Nations climate summit this December, the French government is pulling out all stops to make it a “success,†striving mightily to create the impression of unquestionable “consensus†on global warming — even if it means resorting to suppression of scientific dissent and freedom of expression."
“We must have a consensus,†French President Francois Hollande declared this past May at the Business & Climate Preparatory Summit in Paris. “If within our own country, that’s difficult, imagine what it’s like with 196 countries. A miracle!†Nevertheless, he told the corporate executives, he was confident it would be achieved. For any UN agreement to work, Hollande said, the role of businesses would be “key.†Invoking the French Revolution, he declared: “We need a revolution in business.â€
President Hollande, however, is not waiting for the miraculous to happen; he prefers the iron fist and the guillotine of the Revolution. That is apparent in the case of meteorologist Philippe Verdier, to whom millions of French viewers have turned to for years for their daily weather news. Verdier was sacked from his celebrity weatherman position on France Television (the government-owned station) earlier this month for the heresy of publishing a book challenging the apocalyptic “consensus†that claims that anthropogenic (manmade) global warming, or AGW, is a “crisis†demanding global draconian action.
Will the same iron fist be applied to the prestigious Société de Calcul Mathématique (Society for Mathematical Calculation), which recently issued a detailed 195-page White Paper that presents a blistering point-by-point critique of the key dogmas of the global warming? The Société de Calcul Mathématique (SCM) study, entitled, “The battle against global warming: an absurd, costly and pointless crusade,†relentlessly exposes the flaws in the so-called science of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other institutional members of the AGW alarmist choir. The SCM, founded by renowned mathematician and professor Bernard Beauzamy, does mathematical modeling for companies and governments (including the French government), as well as providing “mathematical tools for fraud detection.†The SCM white paper also exposes the devastating economic, social, and environmental costs of continued implementation of the alarmist agenda, referring to it as a “mad obsession.â€
In addition to these blows, the alleged science behind the proposed UN accord received another devastating setback recently from a study by one of the IPCC’s founders, Dr. Indur M. Goklany. Entitled, CARBON DIOXIDE — The good news, the report is all the more hard-hitting for boasting a foreword by world-renowned theoretical physicist, professor, and author (and longtime liberal Democrat) Freeman Dyson.
“Indur Goklany has done a careful job, collecting and documenting the evidence that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does far more good than harm,†Dyson wrote in the forward. “To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious: that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage.â€
“I'm 100 per cent Democrat myself, and I like Obama,†Professor Dyson said in a recent interview. “But he took the wrong side on this issue, and the Republicans took the right side.â€
Retribution for Climate Heresy On October 14, Britain’s Telegraph reported on Philippe Verdier’s abrupt dismissal from France Television:
Every night, France’s chief weatherman has told the nation how much wind, sun or rain they can expect the following day.
Now Philippe Verdier, a household name for his nightly forecasts on France 2, has been taken off air after a more controversial announcement — criticising the world’s top climate change experts.
Mr Verdier claims in the book Climat Investigation (Climate Investigation) that leading climatologists and political leaders have “taken the world hostage†with misleading data.
In a guest essay on the popular climate blog site WattsUpWithThat, climate researcher Eric Worall commented:
Frankly I’m shocked. Just a few months ago, January this year, in the wake of a horrifying terrorist attack on their offices, France rallied to support Charlie Hebdo’s freedom of expression, their freedom to satirise and speak out on sensitive issues such as religion. France prides herself that no subject is taboo. But apparently offending the Climate Taliban is a step too far – that gets you suspended from your government job.
France’s motto, Liberté, égalité, fraternité — except when you want to talk about climate change.
The Climate Taliban have indeed declared jihad on all infidels who refuse to adopt the UN’s green gospel, and they appear to be desperately ratcheting up the terror tactics. As The New American has reported, the global-warming jihadists in the major media, universities, and government agencies are not only censoring and intimidating climate realists, but actually proposing to prosecute these “deniers†for dissenting from the sacred AGW “consensus.†(See here, here, and here.)
AGW Pseudo-science: “Absurd,†“Stupid,†“Pernicious,†“Mad Obsessionâ€
“All public policies, in France, Europe and throughout the world, find their origin and inspiration in the battle against global warming,†declares the aforementioned SCM White Paper. (An English version of the French report can be found here.) It continues: “The initial credo is simple: temperatures at the surface of the planet have been rising constantly for the past thirty years, and human beings are to blame. This is leading to all sorts of discussions, conferences and regulations, which are having an enormous impact on our economy. Every area of activity is affected: transport, housing, energy — to name just a few…. The impact on the entire field of scientific research is particularly clear and especially pernicious. No project can be launched, on any subject whatsoever, unless it makes direct reference to global warming…. Your research will be funded, approved and published only if it mentions the potential for geological storage of CO2. It is appalling.â€
The “mad obsession†of the UN, governments, media organizations with global warming has become “an absurd, costly and pointless crusade,†notes the SCM study. “The crusade,†it says, “has invaded every area of activity and everyone‘s thinking: the battle against CO2 has become a national priority. How have we reached this point, in a country that claims to be rational?†The answer to that question is plain, says the paper: “At the root lie the declarations made by the IPPC, which have been repeated over the years and taken up by the European Commission and the Member States.â€
Here are extracts from the opening statements of the first three chapters of the SCM White Paper:
Chapter 1: The crusade is absurd There is not a single fact, figure or observation that leads us to conclude that the world‘s climate is in any way ‘disturbed.' It is variable, as it has always been, but rather less so now than during certain periods or geological eras. Modern methods are far from being able to accurately measure the planet‘s global temperature even today, so measurements made 50 or 100 years ago are even less reliable. Concentrations of CO2 vary, as they always have done; the figures that are being released are biased and dishonest. Rising sea levels are a normal phenomenon linked to upthrust buoyancy; they are nothing to do with so-called global warming. As for extreme weather events — they are no more frequent now than they have been in the past. We ourselves have processed the raw data on hurricanes….
Chapter 2: The crusade is costly Direct aid for industries that are completely unviable (such as photovoltaics and wind turbines) but presented as ‘virtuous' runs into billions of euros, according to recent reports published by the Cour des Comptes (French Audit Office) in 2013. But the highest cost lies in the principle of ‘energy saving,' which is presented as especially virtuous. Since no civilization can develop when it is saving energy, ours has stopped developing: France now has more than three million people unemployed — it is the price we have to pay for our virtue….
Chapter 3: The crusade is pointless Human beings cannot, in any event, change the climate. If we in France were to stop all industrial activity (let's not talk about our intellectual activity, which ceased long ago), if we were to eradicate all trace of animal life, the composition of the atmosphere would not alter in any measurable, perceptible way. To explain this, let us make a comparison with the rotation of the planet: it is slowing down. To address that, we might be tempted to ask the entire population of China to run in an easterly direction. But, no matter how big China and its population are, this would have no measurable impact on the Earth‘s rotation.
The IPCC’s “research†methods are so contrary to genuine science and have been so thoroughly discredited, says the SCM study, that “no sensible, high-quality journal would publish the IPPC's work.†It charges: “The IPPC‘s conclusions go against observed facts; the figures used are deliberately chosen to support its conclusions (with no regard for the most basic scientific honesty), and the natural variability of phenomena is passed over without comment. The IPPC's report fails to respect the fundamental rules of scientific research and could not be published in any review with a reading panel.â€
IPCC Expert Goklany: CO2 Is Beneficial, Not Bad
Dr. Indur Goklany’s new study, CARBON DIOXIDE — The good news, points out: “Empirical data confirms that the biosphere’s productivity has increased by about 14% since 1982, in large part as a result of rising carbon dioxide levels.†Moreover, he notes, “Thousands of scientific experiments indicate that increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the air have contributed to increases in crop yields,†and these increases in yield “are very likely to have reduced the appropriation of land for farming by 11–17% compared with what it would otherwise be, resulting in more land being left wild.â€
Dr. Goklany was a member of the U.S. delegation that established the IPCC and helped develop its First Assessment Report. He subsequently served as a U.S. delegate to the IPCC, and an IPCC reviewer. He is also a member of the Global Warming Policy Foundation’s Academic Advisory Council. “Compared with the benefits from carbon dioxide on crop and biosphere productivity,†writes Goklany, “the adverse impacts of carbon dioxide — on the frequency and intensity of extreme weather, on sea level, vector-borne disease prevalence and human health — have been too small to measure or have been swamped by other factors.â€
As we have reported previously, Dr. Goklany’s earlier studies have shown that policies resulting from the AGW hysteria are having a horrendously destructive impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people, who desperately need access to the vast energy provided by fossil fuels, not the piddling amounts available from wind and solar, the favorite hobby horses of enviro-activists in the rich countries.
Dr. Goklany’s new study also takes aim at the climate computer models that have proven themselves to be fatally flawed and always wrong. “Models used to influence policy on climate change,†he says in summary, “ have overestimated the rate of warming, underestimated direct benefits of carbon dioxide, overestimated the harms from climate change and underestimated human capacity to adapt so as to capture the benefits while reducing the harms.†“It is very likely that the impact of rising carbon dioxide concentrations is currently net beneficial for both humanity and the biosphere generally. These benefits are real, whereas the costs of warming are uncertain. Halting the increase in carbon dioxide concentrations abruptly would deprive people and the planet of the benefits of carbon dioxide much sooner than they would reduce any costs of warming.â€
President Obama, President Hollande, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Al Gore, and other apostles of the AGW apocalypse lobby will not be dissuaded from their destructive course by Philippe Verdier, the French SCM study, Indur Goklany, Freeman Dyson, or the rational arguments, and overwhelming evidence presented by the thousands of notable scientists who stand in the climate realist (versus the climate alarmist) camp. However, millions of American voters and activist patriots can force Congress to stop the massive taxpayer-provided funding stream to the global-warming bandwagon and stop the U.S. government from approving the UN climate treaty that will be unleashed at the upcoming United Nations confab in Paris.
1. Personal wealth
2. Personal power.
3. An overwhelming desire to destroy America.
Since all three of these fit everyone in the Leftist panoply of destruction, it's hard to zero in on just one.
Does anyone know how get the ‘^&^&&^%(O((Y&E@@ETU((*’ nonsense off the articles?
Posting unreadable BS is a waste of time.
It’s almost impossible to read this website now.
That said, there is NOTHING prestigious about the stupid “Society de Calcul Mathematique” or whatever it’s called. It is a total fraud and the paper that they have supposedly put out is complete nonsense. I have no dog in the climate change hunt, but this supposed breakthrough in opposition to it is just another pile of bullcrap.
I like that... Very appropriate!
I go to the link when I want to read something here......Its too bad.
Does anyone know how get the ‘^&^&&^%(O((Y&E@@ETU((*’ nonsense off the articles?

Direct aid for industries that are completely unviable (such as photovoltaics and wind turbines) but presented as ‘virtuous’ runs into billions of euros, according to recent reports published by the Cour des Comptes (French Audit Office) in 2013. But the highest cost lies in the principle of ‘energy saving,’ which is presented as especially virtuous. Since no civilization can develop when it is saving energy, ours has stopped developing: France now has more than three million people unemployed — it is the price we have to pay for our virtue….
Chapter 3: The crusade is pointless
Human beings cannot, in any event, change the climate. If we in France were to stop all industrial activity (let’s not talk about our intellectual activity, which ceased long ago), if we were to eradicate all trace of animal life, the composition of the atmosphere would not alter in any measurable, perceptible way. To explain this, let us make a comparison with the rotation of the planet: it is slowing down. To address that, we might be tempted to ask the entire population of China to run in an easterly direction. But, no matter how big China and its population are, this would have no measurable impact on the Earth’s rotation.
The IPCC’s “research” methods are so contrary to genuine science and have been so thoroughly discredited, says the SCM study, that “no sensible, high-quality journal would publish the IPPC’s work.” It charges: “The IPPC’s conclusions go against observed facts; the figures used are deliberately chosen to support its conclusions (with no regard for the most basic scientific honesty), and the natural variability of phenomena is passed over without comment.

Thought I had it. Failed, sorry. I’m asking mods to delete my post.
Folks- The UN is preparing the next big lie/excuse about climate change as we speak
They are preparing to address the climate change meeting in france and claim that 100 million people will go into poverty as a result of climate change
The nefarious reason behind this asinine claim is to exonerate their themselves when their climate change policies plunge millions into poverty because they can’t afford the higher prices on everything, the increased business regulations, the carbon taxes and fines
When economies around the world begin collapsing because of climate regulations, the UN will declare it is not because of their regulations, but because ‘we didn’t act soon enough to combat climate change’
The other dishonest thing they will be doing at the climate meeting is shaming rich countries into forking over trillions of dollars to poor countries, claiming that rich countries are causing climate change and plunging poor countries into further poverty
The UN has already planned and implemented their excuse for when the earth cools for the next couple of decades- They are going to blame it on the ‘large cold blob of water in the oceans’ that now exists and is changing climate patterns around the globe
I just wish one or two senators had the guts to stand up and ask these LIARS how just 0.0036% of our atmosphere can be capturing enough heat that the earth can’t cool off- 99.9967% of the atmosphere has NO co2 in it due to man- There is no thick suffocating blanket of CO2 I nthe atmosphere preventing heat from escaping and back radiating heat to earth to warm the planet! In order for man to be the cause of climate change, we would need to produce so much cO2 that a thick blanket covered the entire atmosphere, or most of it anyways- trapping most of the escaping heat and back radiating it to earth
mind iof I copy that and use it in future articles?
[[The “mad obsession†of the UN, governments, media organizations with global warming has become “an absurd, costly and pointless crusade,†notes the SCM study.]]
The mad obsession has absolutely nothing to do with the climate and everything to do with welfare redistribution
When china and the US didn’t immediately sign onto new climate treaties awhile back because the UN demanded that rich countries pay for poor countries climate regulations- the UN got pissed and vowed to concoct a new strategy to shame us into joining their absurd agenda- and what they came up with was the claim that rich countries cause the most CO2, therefore they are the ones who are causing poverty around the world claiming climate change is causing irreparable financial loss in nations that can’t ‘afford to fight it”
We are being stolen from, in broad daylight, and our dear leader is running towards the thieves with briefcases full of money and a big #$^ eating grin on his face
The one gripe I have with the experts weighing in on these issues is that they always seem to bring up the fact that CO2 is beneficial- and while this is true, this fact will do nothing to convince people that we don’t have to worry about it because people are under the false impression that there is too much CO2 I n the atmosphere
The fact that should be brought up in my opinion is the fact that the % of the atmosphere that has CO2 in it due directly to man is just 0.0036%, and a BIG deal should be made of the FACT that such a small amount of CO2 has ZERO effect o n the climate- there just is not enough CO2 produced by man to do anything regarding climate change- it’s just way too small an amount to have any effect at all
This one fact alone proves man is not even slightly responsible for the climate changing, NOR is nature’s amount of CO2 which stands at just 0.04% of the atmosphere
This fact, coupled with the further supporting fact that CO2 ALWAYS follows temperature rises by 800+ years proves CO2 is not the cause of climate change, nor can it have anything to do with changing the climate further once the climate does change due to other causes
