Ex-NOAA scientist now 'climate-change denier'

Censoring evidence, “fiddling” with data and silencing skeptics were part of life at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, according to a former NOAA scientist who no longer believes carbon dioxide is

Rex Fleming admitted that while he worked for NOAA, he attributed global warming to carbon dioxide despite “having doubts.”

“Eventually I just read enough to realize it’s a totally wrong direction,” he said in a podcast interview July 25 with British journalist James Delingpole.

“And so, in the past 10 years, I’d say, I’ve been on the other side.”

His conversion, however, has shut him out of academic journals, despite his Ph.D. in atmospheric science.

The author of “The Rise and Fall of the Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change,” he told Delingpole he had to travel to Europe to have his 2018 paper on climate change peer-reviewed and published.

“The ‘deniers’ have so much evidence,” he said, while the global-warming believers “bring nothing to the table of scientific proof.”

Sort of surprised that he could get it published in the 'yewwwww' since it seems a lot of them buy the AGW load of crap whole heartedly. Mr. Fleming may be forced to wear a scarlet letter if he's not cautious. You know some folks get REALLY POd when you start messing with "their" money.

“All they have is hearsay. All they have is media coverage. All they have is government people saying it’s true,”

Which is all the Leftist Mob has about anything they say. I’d ad “groupthink and echo-chamber” to that, but it’s all they have. Ask for specific examples (including racism on the part of DT) and they run away.

Always easier to acknowledge the truth after you’re weaned from the climate alarmist teat.

This nails the issue from a “why are scientists silent?” perspective.

Experiments from models can’t be replicated to justify this thing.

Always be suspicious of those who try to shut down the debate on an issue. Vigorous debate is healthy. When dealing with the Left, most debate quickly devolves to slander, usually in the form of accusations of "racism". That simply means they have no facts or logic to support their premise.

As an elementary teacher, I see first hand the indoctrination in reading and science books. Every three or four weeks our reading series will mention climate change in some way implying that it is all man made. I can’t let those type of reading pass unchallenged.

If they are going to claim “climate change” is true and we need to spend $trillions then it is up to the to PROVE IT...

Not by ‘consensus’

Climate changers are VERY similar in thought to evolutionists.

2007, Oregon governor Kulongoski (D) fired the state climatologist because the climatologist did not believe in AGW

Except that in comparison, evolutionists are politically benign.

But, but, but ...

“Settled Science”.
“97% of scientists agree ...”
“We have 11.457 years left to save the planet.”

You have to give the MSM and the Socialist/Communist DemocRAT Party some credit. They really know to run a scam. It’s scary how good they are at it.

At this point, we've lost this one.

This is not matter of denying climate change altogether, it is only disagreement about which set of conditions lead to climate change.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide has extremely little to totally non-existent effect on climate, and in fact, is a TRAILING indicator. Warm water gives up carbon dioxide which normally stays dissolved in colder water, and there is a balance between natural generation of carbon dioxide produced by combustion of carbon-based materials with the atmosphere with the oxygen content a little over 20%, either by open burning or the biological activity of living organisms. When carbon dioxide is plentiful, plants grow better and faster, converting the carbon dioxide into various carbohydrates and other organic compounds, and simultaneously releasing free oxygen, without which no advanced living organism could exist.

The heating or cooling of the planet earth as a whole comes from an interruption in the ability to radiate into space the excess heat, balanced by the radiation received from the sun, and the internal heat of the interior core of the earth, which is kept warm by the radioactive decay of elements subject to atomic fission.
