One of the co-founders of Greenpeace left the organization because it was taken over by science liars.

Increases in atmospheric CO2 FOLLOWS increases in global temperature. Not increases in global temperature FOLLOWS increases in CO2 levels.

Greater CO2 plant life explodes in abundance (photosynthesis) which is used as food for animals and insects. Greater food means more animal life producing more CO2. Termites alone produce many times the CO2 output the entire mechanical output that Man has on the planet.

Scientists have proven that the Earth is heating up because of greenhouse gases that are emitted into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels - like oil, gas, or coal.

Really.

Climate science is based totally on computer models, not on classic experimental research design using control groups and laboratory testing. These computer models are a second rate methodology. They are prone to many problems with regard to validity and reliability, research design, data quality, and interpretation of results. Given the complexity of the earth’s climate, these models are not currently capable of generating precise and reliable predictions of future climate change trends. There are too many untested assumptions that are built into these models.

Thank you! Science has not proven any of that statement, for the simple fact that CO2 is not a major component of the “greenhouse” effect— but rather water vapor- largely from the oceans of the world reacting to solar cycles.

Why is it never reported the massive amounts of propaganda, lies, and lobbying done by the windmill and solar companies? I thought big business in government was evil.

Sorry Mr. Mochugo. Your job is to rape the nation with African slave labor to mine cobalt so rich white saviors can save you from the horrors of climate change in their electric cars as they commute to Whole Foods in Sausalito. It’s for your own good.

So nice that the BBC is so concerned with poor Africans that they insist they remain poor third world Africans without oil. Just like the old days. Slaves in the field didn’t need fossil fuels, so they don’t need them now....

Reliably racist BBC attacks black man for having the bare-faced uppityness to earn his personal wealth.

“We in Africa are going to say “NO” to neo-colonialism in the name of “Climate Change”!

Straight up realism. Hopefully not to be coopted by the chi-com interference in Africa as they STEAL lithium and other minerals from the Congo for their “chips” and cheap crapola.

They have proved no such thing.

My God, I’ve never seen such awful bias top-to-bottom.

Good for Mr. Machogu!

“...some of [his donations] came from individuals in Western countries linked to fossil-fuel interests.”

As if 100% of the “donations” that western governments have made to climate “scientists” are not linked to BIG GOV, BIG EDUCATION, and BIG BUSINESS.

But, for some reason, those individuals and companies “linked to fossil-fuel interests” are inherently evil while those linked to perpetuating the scam and deconstructing Western Civilization are good.

What a load of Bollocks as the Brits would say. The only thing that “heats “ our atmosphere is the sun.

Bears repeating. Modelers adapt the model to the data. This, essentially, means the model tells the modeler what the modeler expects the model to say.

Because we do not have sufficiently accurate data of the past, and the future is yet to be, models cannot be validated out even ten years, let alone a century. Models which are used for weather forecasting can be repeatedly validated by comparing the output against reality, each day or week. Such is impossible when "forecasting" a decade out.

He is fantastic! He gives first hand life experience to what I knew intellectually.
