How scientists got global warming sums wrong - bullied experts who dared to question the figures

Liberals/Leftists (in academia and media) pushed this and bullied skeptics. It was a big lie all along.

FTA: So if the science behind all this ­nonsense was so dodgy, why did no one complain all these years?

Well, a few of us did. Some — such as Johnny Ball and David Bellamy — were brave TV celebrities, some — Graham Stringer, Peter Lilley, Owen Paterson, Nigel (now Lord) Lawson — were ­outspoken MPs, some were bona fide scientists. But whenever we spoke out, the response was the same — we were bullied, vilified, derided and dismissed as scientifically illiterate loons by a powerful climate alarmist establishment which brooked no dissent.

Unfortunately this alarmist establishment has many powerful media allies. The BBC has a huge roster of eco-activist reporters and science “experts” who believe in man-made global warming, and almost never gives sceptics air time.

In the name of promoting the global warming myth, free speech has been curtailed, honest science corrupted and vast economic and social damage done. That ­apology is long overdue.

We can’t let the mea culpas confuse the fact that it was all done on purpose.

It was a scam from the beginning. There are no innocents on the Warmenista side. There are those who purposely manipulated the data for the sake of destructionist ideology and there are those so deeply invested in the destructionist ideology that they couldn’t allow themselves to use even the most basic critical thinking on the issue.

All of them are guilty of theft by fraud.
