Ever since the creation in 1988 of the
UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it has engaged in the
greatest hoax of modern times, releasing reports that predict climate-related
catastrophes as if the climate has not been a completely natural and dynamic
producer of events that affect our lives.
The IPCC was set up by the World
Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Program. It has
enlisted thousands of scientists to contribute to its scare campaign, but as
Joseph Bast, the president of The Heartland Institute, noted in a recent Forbes article regarding the vast difference in the
assertions of the IPCC scientists and those of its puckishly named
Nonintergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (NPCC), “What is a non-scientist to
make of these dueling reports? Indeed, what is a scientist to make of
this?”
“Very few scientists are familiar with
biology, geology, physics, oceanography, engineering, medicine, economics, and
scores of other more specialized disciplines that were the basis of the claims…”
The IPCC has depended on the ignorance of those scientists outside their
particular disciplines and recruited them to be involved in the UN hoax. The
rest of us look to them to provide guidance regarding issues involving the
climate and, as a result, have been deliberately
deceived.
The
NIPCC, anticipating the latest IPCC addition to its climate scare campaign, has
just issued a new addition to its “Climate Change Reconsidered” reports. The first volume
was 850 pages long and the latest is more than 1,000 pages. It represents the
findings of scores of scientists from around the world and thousands of
peer-reviewed studies. At this point they represent some twenty nations.
I have been an advisor to The
Heartland Institute for many years and have been exposing the climate change
lies since the late 1980s. A science writer, I have benefited from the work of
men like atmospheric physicist, S. Fred Singer, a founder of the NPCC who has
overseen five reports debunking the IPCC since 2003.
The Heartland Institute has sponsored
nine international conferences that have brought together many scientists and
others in an effort to debunk the UN’s climate scare campaign.
I have always depended on the common
sense of people to understand that humans have nothing to do with the climate
except to endure and enjoy it. We don’t create it or influence it.
The global warming campaign is based
on the Big Lie that carbon dioxide (CO2) traps the Sun’s heat and warms the
Earth, but the fairly miniscule amount of CO2 in the atmosphere (0.038%) does
not do that in a fashion that poses any threat. Indeed, it is the Sun that
determines the Earth’s climate, depending where you happen to be on the Earth.
Next to oxygen, CO2 is vital to all life on Earth as it is the “food” on which
all vegetation depends. More CO2 is good. Less is not so
good.
The IPCC has depended in part on the
print and broadcast media to spread its Big Lie. It also depends on world
leaders, few of whom have any background or serious knowledge of atmospheric
science, to impose policies based on the Big Lie. These policies target the use
of “fossil fuels”, oil, coal and natural gas, urging a reduction of their use.
The world, however, utterly depends on them and, in addition to existing
reserves, new reserves are found every year.
One reason the IPCC has been in a
growing state of panic is a new, completely natural cooling cycle based on a
reduction of solar radiation. As James M. Taylor, the managing editor of
Heartland’s “Environment & Climate News”, pointed out
recently, “Winter temperatures in the contiguous United States declined by more
than a full degree Celsius (more than 2 degrees Fahrenheit) during the past
twenty years.” He was citing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
data. “The data contradicts assertions that human induced global warming is
causing a rise in winter temperatures.”
In addition to the recent extremely
cold winter, there have been others in 2000-2001 and 2009-2010. There will be
more.
The IPCC report is full of claims
about global warming, now called “climate change” since the world is obviously
not warming. In March, Taylor rebutted an IPCC claim that crop production is
falling, noting that global corn, rice, and wheat production have more than
tripled since 1970. In recent years, the U.S. has set records for alfalfa,
cotton, beans, sugar beets, canola, corn, flaxseed, hops, rice, sorghum,
soybeans, sugarcane, sunflowers, peanuts, and wheat, to name just a
few.
The Earth would benefit from more, not
less, CO2 emissions, but the Obama administration has been engaged in imposing
hundreds of new regulations aimed at reductions. It targets the development and
expansion of our energy sector. The President has repeated the lies in his State
of the Union speeches and we have a Secretary of State, John Kerry, who insists
that climate change is the greatest threat to mankind and not the increase of
nuclear weapons.
Every one of the Earth’s seven billion
population are being subjected to the UN’s campaign of lies and every one of us
needs to do whatever we can to bring about an end to the United Nations and
reject the IPCC’s claims.
