A History of the Disastrous Global Warming Hoax
By Alan Caruba
“It is the
greatest deception in history and the extent of the damage has yet to be
exposed and measured,” says Dr. Tim Ball in his new book, “The Deliberate
Corruption of Climate Science”.
Dr. Ball
has been a climatologist for more than forty years and was one of the earliest
critics of the global warming hoax that was initiated by the United Nations
environmental program that was established in 1972 and the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established in 1988.
Several UN
conferences set in motion the hoax that is based on the assertion that carbon
dioxide (CO2) was causing a dramatic surge in heating the Earth. IPCC reports
have continued to spread this lie through their summaries for policy makers
that influenced policies that have caused nations worldwide to spend billions to
reduce and restrict CO2 emissions. Manmade climate change—called anthropogenic
global warming—continues to be the message though mankind plays no role
whatever
.
There is no scientific support for the UN theory.
CO2,
despite being a minor element of the Earth’s atmosphere, is essential for all
life on Earth because it is the food that nourishes all vegetation. The Earth
has passed through many periods of high levels of CO2 and many cycles of
warming and cooling that are part of the life of the planet.
“Science
works by creating theories based on assumptions,” Dr. Ball notes, “then other
scientists—performing their skeptical role—test them. The structure and mandate
of the IPCC was in direct contradiction of this scientific method. They set out
to prove the theory rather than disprove it.”
“The
atmosphere,” Dr. Ball notes, “is three-dimensional and dynamic, so building a
computer model that even approximates reality requires far more data than
exists and much greater understanding of an extremely turbulent and complex
system.” No computer model put forth by the IPCC in support of global warming
has been accurate, nor ever could be.
Most
of the reports were created by a small group of men working within the Climate
Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia and all were members of
the IPCC. The result was “a totally false picture supposedly based on science.”
The
revelations of emails between the members of the CRU were made available in
2009 by an unknown source. Dr. Ball quotes Phil Jones, the Director of the CRU
at the time of the leaks, and Tom Wigley, a former director addressing other
CRU members admiting that “Many of the uncertainties surrounding the cause of
climate change will never be resolved because the necessary data are lacking.”
The
IPCC depended upon the public’s lack of knowledge regarding the science
involved and the global warming hoax was greatly aided because the “mainstream
media bought into and promoted the unproven theory. Scientists who challenged
were denied funding and marginalized. National environmental policies were
introduced based on the misleading information” of the IPCC summaries of their
reports.
“By
the time of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report, the politics and hysteria
about climate change had risen to a level that demanded clear evidence of a
human signal,” notes Dr. Ball. “An entire industry had developed around massive
funding from government. A large number of academic, political, and
bureaucratic careers had evolved and depended on expansion of the evidence.
Environmentalists were increasing pressure on the public and thereby
politicians.”
The
growing problem for the CRU and the entire global warming hoax was that no
clear evidence existed to blame mankind for changes in the climate and still
largely unknown to the public was the fact that the Earth has passed through
many natural cycles of warmth and cooling. If humans were responsible, how
could the CRU explain a succession of ice ages over millions of years?
The
CRU emails revealed their growing concerns regarding a cooling cycle that had
begun in the late 1990s and now, some seventeen years later, the Earth is in a
widely recognized cooling cycle.
Moreover,
the hoax was aimed at vast reductions in the use of coal, oil, and natural gas,
as well as nuclear power to produce the electricity on which all modern life
depends. There was advocacy of solar and wind power to replace them and nations
undertook costly programs to bring about the reduction of the CO2 “fossil
fuels” produced and spent billions on the “green” energy. That program is being
abandoned.
At
the heart of the hoax is a contempt for mankind and a belief that population
worldwide should be reduced. The science advisor to President Obama, John
Holdren, has advocated forced abortions, sterilization by introducing
infertility drugs into the nation’s drinking water and food, and other
totalitarian measures. “Overpopulation is still central to the use of climate
change as a political vehicle,” warns Dr. Ball.
Given
that the environmental movement has been around since the 1960s, it has taken
decades for the public to grasp its intent and the torrents of lies that have
been used to advance it. “More people,” notes Dr. Ball, “are starting to
understand that what they’re told about climate change by academia, the mass
media, and the government is wrong, especially the propaganda coming from the
UN and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”
“Ridiculous
claims—like the science is settled or the debate is over—triggered a growing
realization that something was wrong.”
When the global warming advocates began to tell people that cooling is
caused by warming, the public has realized how absurd the entire UN climate
change argument has been.
Worse,
however, has been “the deliberate deceptions, misinformation, manipulation of
records and misapplying scientific method and research” to pursue a political
objective. Much of this is clearly unlawful, but it is unlikely that any of
those who perpetrated the hoax will ever be punished and, in the case of Al
Gore and the IPCC, they shared a Nobel Peace Prize!
We
are all in debt to Dr. Ball and a score of his fellow scientists who exposed
the lies and debunked the hoax; their numbers are growing with thousands of
scientists signing petitions and participating in international conferences to
expose this massive global deception.
