Calling the Global Warming Charlatans "Nazis"
By
Alan Caruba
On
February 20th, the noted meteorologist, Dr. Roy W. Spencer, fed up
with being called a “denier” of global warming, posted a commentary on his blog
titled “Time to push back against the global warming Nazis.”
“When
politicians and scientists started calling people like me ‘deniers’, they
crossed the line. They are still doing it,” said Dr. Spencer. “They indirectly
equate (1) the skeptics’ view that global warming is not necessarily all
manmade nor a serious problem with (2) the denial that the Nazi’s extermination
of millions of Jews ever happened.” The Holocaust happened, but global
warming’s latest natural cycle ended about 17 years ago and, as a lot of people
have noticed, it has been getting cold since then.
“Like
the Nazis,” said Dr. Spencer, “they advocate the supreme authority of the state
(fascism), which in turn supports their scientific research to support their
cause…” In the case of global warming,
this huge hoax was put forth by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change.
The
UN would like to be the world’s global government, but that’s not going to
happen. In the meantime, the IPCC provided scientists that cooperated with lots
of money for their alleged research, all of which “proved” that carbon dioxide
was dramatically heating the Earth. Others like Al Gore made millions selling
“carbon credits”. Along the way, both Gore and the IPCC received a Nobel Peace
Prize.
Dr.
Spencer received a Ph.D. in meteorology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
in 1981. He was a Senior Scientists for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall
Space Flight Center where he and a colleague, Dr. John Christy received
NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature
monitoring work with satellites. He became a Principal Research Scientist at
the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001 and continues to advise NASA as
a U.S. Science Team Leader. As he points
out on his blog, his research has been supported by U.S. government agencies,
so the usual claim by Greens that he is a paid stooge of Big Oil just doesn’t
work in his case.
Dr.
Spencer’s decision to call a Nazi a Nazi ignited a lot of discussion among the
global warming hustlers and those whom they have been calling “deniers” for
many years. I always found it particularly offensive, but I suspect those I
called charlatans and hustlers felt the same way. The difference, however, is
the connotation applied to the term, “denier.” Even today anti-Semites of
various descriptions deny that six million Jews died in the death camps of Nazi
Germany during World War Two along with millions Christians and Eastern Slavic
Europeans
What makes this
particularly offensive and horrid is the fact that those in the Nazi leadership
under Adolf Hitler were all environmentalists, deeply committed to conservation
and similar expressions that put the Earth above the value of human life.
This
is all revealed in a book by R. Mark Musser, “Nazi Oaks”, now in its third
printing. Musser was introduced to environmentalism at Evergreen State College
in Olympia, Washington, from which he graduated in 1989. In 1994 he received
Master of Divinity and spent seven years as a missionary to Belarus and in the
Ukraine.
Musser’s
book is absolutely astonishing as he documents how “Green” the Nazis were from
their earliest years until their defeat. It was Heinrich Himmler, the Reich
Leader from 1929 to 1945, who was responsible for the “Final Solution”, the
mass killing of Europe’s Jews. He led the Nazi party’s SS.
As
Musser notes, “The Nazis were trying to eliminate both global capitalism and
international communism in order to recover a reverence for nature lost in the
modern cosmopolitan world.” The Nazis
also held Judeo-Christian values in contempt.
“That
this evolutionary Nazi nature religion was clothed in secular biology and
colored by environmental policies and practices, is a historical truth that has
been ignored and underreported for too long a time in all the discussions about
the Holocaust,” writes Musser.
I
am inclined to believe that it is no accident that the global warming
charlatans began to use the term “deniers” to describe skeptics.
By
2011, a Gallup poll that surveyed people in 111 countries revealed that most of
the human race did not see global warming as a serious threat. Still, worldwide
42% told Gallup that they thought global warming was either ‘somewhat serious’
or ‘very serious.’ That was down from 63% in polls taken in 2007 and 2008 in
the U.S.
More
than just a spat between scientists, in April 2012, the Congressional Research
Service estimated that, since 2008, the federal government had spent nearly $70
billion on ‘climate change activities.’
That kind of money could build or repair a lot of bridges and roads. It
could fund elements of our military. It could be spent on something other than
a climate over which neither the government nor anyone in the world has any
influence.
Bursting
onto the national stage, Dr. Spencer’s decision to call the global warming
scientists Nazis for their efforts to intimidate or smear the reputations of
those whose research disputes their claims, Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. a Wall
Street Journal columnist, wrote on March 1 that “Surely some kind of ending is
upon us. Last week climate protesters demanded the silencing of Charles
Krauthammer for a Washington Post column that notices uncertainties in the
global warming hypothesis.”
“In
coming weeks,” wrote Jenkins, “a libel trial gets under way brought by Penn
State’s Michael Mann, author of the famed "hockey stick" graph (Editor’s note: an IPCC graph Mann created that asserted a sudden, major increase in heat has been
widely debunked) against the National Review, the Competitive Enterprise
Institute, writer Rand Simberg and roving commentator Mark Steyn for making
wisecracks about his climate work.”
Revelations
of several thousand emails between IPCC scientists, one of whom was Mann, were
christened “climategate” and demonstrated the efforts in which they engaged to
suppress the publication of any papers that questioned global warming in
scientific journals. As the climate turned cooler, they became increasingly
alarmed.
What
we are likely witnessing are the long death throes of the global warming hoax.
Calling those scientists and others like myself “deniers” and other names
simply reveals the desperation of those who are seeing a great source of money
slip away under the spotlight of scientific truth, nor will they be able to
impose their lies on the rest of us.
