Harold Lewis Skewers the CAGW Climate Alarm Fraud

Harold Lewis is Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara, former Chairman; Former member Defense Science Board, chmn of Technology panel; Chairman DSB study on Nuclear Winter; Former member Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards; Former member, President's Nuclear Safety Oversight Committee; Chairman APS study on Nuclear Reactor Safety Chairman Risk Assessment Review Group; Co-founder and former Chairman of JASON; Former member USAF Scientific Advisory Board; Served in US Navy in WW II.

Hal Lewis wrote a scathing letter of resignation to the American Physical Society. The letter is full of quotes which I could expand upon. Below, I selected just one -- perhaps the most telling quote of all (ALWAYS follow the money).

Hal also describes in detail the fraud involved in essentially all of the professional organizations which have -- in varying degrees -- corruptly endorsed the IPCC alarmism. In brief, virtually none of these organizations (including the APS) have EVER polled their membership to determine how many of the members endorse the statements issued by the “leadership”. Click here and you will understand why that is virtually never done.

Quoting Dr. Harold Lewis:

“When Penn State absolved Mike Mann of wrongdoing, and the University of East Anglia did the same for Phil Jones, they cannot have been unaware of the financial penalty for doing otherwise.”

The Great Climate Change Con Exposed

Quoting the U.K. Spectator:

“Imagine how wonderful the world would be if man-made global warming were just a figment of Al Gore’s imagination. No more ugly wind farms to darken our sunlit uplands. No more whopping electricity bills, artificially inflated by EU-imposed carbon taxes. No longer any need to treat each warm, sunny day as though it were some terrible harbinger of ecological doom. And definitely no need for the $7.4 trillion cap and trade (carbon-trading) bill — the largest tax in American history — which President Obama and his cohorts are so assiduously trying to impose on the US economy.

Imagine no more, for your fairy godmother is here. His name is Ian Plimer, Professor of Mining Geology at Adelaide University, and he has recently published the landmark book Heaven And Earth, which is going to change forever the way we think about climate change.”

Charles R. Anderson, Ph.D. - Climate Denier

This is a particularly good essay.
Quoting Dr. Charles R. Anderson (I inserted the links):

“Marc Morano of the Senate Committee for the Environment and Public Works, minority side, has just asked me if I would join the many scientists who are increasingly willing to buck the environmental hysterical and religious movement to state that we are not facing catastrophic global warming due to the ill-considered acts of man. I, being fearless, am willing and happy to do so…

[An] observation of concern was that catastrophic anthropogenic global warming was a perfect tool to use to make the civilized and advanced societies cut back on energy use to the point that life was going to be much more miserable for human beings. This has always been something that the socialists have been willing and happy to do to their fellow human beings. They like it so much that they develop a religious fervor whenever offered the opportunity to hurt others…

[W]hen you examine who believes fervently in man-made global warming, do you find that fervor cutting across the usual political spectrum with respect to commitments to personal and economic liberties or do you find the fervor in one camp only. In this case, there is pretty much that one camp of socialists [hell bent on harming their fellow human beings]….

I observed that there was anguishingly little effort to apply the climate prediction models to past climate changes… some effort could have been put into comparing the model-predicted effects with those of high CO2 atmospheric concentrations from the geological record. This is an obvious check and no one was eager to do it. This is a clear warning sign…

Clearly, the modelers do not know what they are doing. Nonetheless, on the strength of their predictions of unacceptable man-made warming, we are to make drastic cuts in our use of the inexpensive fossil fuels and have a future of expensive electric power only when the wind blows or the sun shines…

I am not saying that man does not affect the weather or the climate. I am sure he does. But my evaluation is that man's affect upon the global climate is still small compared to the natural forces at work and that they are incapable of causing anything on the scale of a catastrophe. But, man can cause a catastrophe to his lifestyle and to his lifespan. An example would be the catastrophe which would be caused if Obama and the anthropogenic global warming alarmists force us to give up half of our electric generating capacity due to coal-fired power plants. This cannot be replaced by wind power and solar power by any technology yet known. It is a fool's errand to destroy half of our electricity generation capability while we have nothing to replace it with, when the reason given for doing this is to decrease the amount of CO2 added to the atmosphere.”

This is an excellent essay!

Man Made Global Warming Hysteria is a SCAM!
We will - in due time - move beyond hydrocarbons.
But, for now, we have PLENTY!
And, there is NO climate crisis forcing us into certain folly!

Dr. Will Happer Describes a CO2 Famine

Quoting award winning Princeton University physicist Dr. Will Happer:

“Many people don’t realize that over geological time, we’re really in a CO2 famine now. Almost never has CO2 levels been as low as it has been in the Holocene (geologic epoch) – 280 (parts per million - ppm) – that’s unheard of. Most of the time [CO2 levels] have been at least 1000 (ppm) and it’s been quite higher than that,”

Dr. Happer is absolutely correct!

“The earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past.”

I applaud Dr. Happer (and “at least 10 more scientists, including meteorologists from Germany, Netherlands and CNN, as well as a professors from MIT and University of Arizona”) for joining the ever growing list of so-called “Climate Deniers”!

32,000 "Climate Deniers" (and Growing)

Updated 12/11/10
First, click the image for
some particularly inconvenient truths:


Next…
Quoting Kathryn Jean Lopez interviewing Lawrence Solomon:

“Lopez: What Denier fact could be characterized as most inconvenient for Al Gore?

Solomon: The claim that there is a consensus on climate change. This claim is based on the media’s often repeated claim that the 2000 to 2500 scientists associated with the UN’s panel endorsed the U.N.’s report. In fact, as the Secretariat of the UN panel told me, those 2500 scientists are merely reviewers of some of the hundreds of input studies that went into the mix. They endorsed nothing. There is no consensus and there never has been.”

Q) Relative to what the media report about climate change, where is there scientific consensus?

A) Scientists broadly agree that the planet has warmed over the last 100 years and that human activity has probably contributed to that warming.

Q) Where does the consensus break down?

A1) There is no agreement on how much (or how rapidly) the planet has warmed in the last 100 years.

Heavily massaged data from land based measuring stations say one thing.

Satellite data say another thing.

Peer reviewed science demonstrates that the two are NOT in agreement!

Rigorous inspections demonstrate that the land based measurement stations are laughably unreliable.

A2) There is no agreement on what portion of the warming was caused by human activity.

Q) What scientific consensus would most surprise the average lay person?

A) The FACT is that the overwhelming majority of scientists do NOT favor regulating CO2!
