The Great Climate Change Science Scam
I have been campaigning about climate change for over thirty years. Now, the more I read of efforts by governments, academics and corporate interests to come up with a quick fix the more I am convinced they are working a scam to make quick, easy money

I've been campaigning on and off for over thirty years about Climate Change but the more I read of schemes being hatched by governments, academics and commercial interests to control CO2 emissions the more I am inclined towards.the p.o.v... of climate change sceptics. Now let's be very clear here, I have no sympathy for climate change deniers although to identify them with Holocaust deniers as the Politically Correct Thought Police would is just as insane as their denial that changes are taking place in the earth's ecosystem.

What I am sceptical about is the attitude of the "climate change science" lobby. I have said many times, mostly in questioning the absolute certainties of medical science, that science is about what we know, it fails miserably when people try to extrapolate that knowledge to predict what will happen in the future.

At the moment most of the climate change science is about measuring the CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) content of air in parts per million or the melt rate of glaciers. Meanwhile among government officers and academics there is a great kerfuffle about forcing us to reduce out "carbon footprint" and finding sustainable sources of energy which will enable us to generate the electricity developed nations need to maintain their standard of living without burning more fossil fuels.

Scientists, cocooned in their University Ivory Towers have little contact with reality. Thus their schemes are at best impractical and at worst just plain whacky. Currently the fashionable method for providing clean energy is by erecting wind turbines. Now the case against these is very strong and very simple: What happens when the wind does not blow or blows insufficiently or too strongly or gusts at varying speeds because turbines need to run at a constant speed to be efficient? The case for wind turbines is the scientists and academics cannot come up with anything else, they are very visible so politicians are seen to be doing something about the problem and the companies that make and operate them, which are owned by international conglomerates, hedge funds and shadowy figures in the world of international finance can see easy profits in them.

Wind power is a scam.

An even bigger scam is carbon trading or carbon offsets. Governments will set up an international market in which every human being has a carbon allowance. People poor countries will be able to sell some of their carbon allowance, through an agency of course, to people in rich countries who are likely to overrun their carbon allowance. It is very like the international market in debt, the collapse of which caused the financial meltdown.

Then there are the crazy new technologies that aim to tinker with weather systems by spraying fine particles into the upper atmosphere, seeding clouds, covering deserts with mirrors and all sorts of other tricks that may not work and could have disastrous and entirely unpredicted consequences.

In my opinion The "climate change scientists", high tech industries and governments are barking up the wrong tree. 300 years ago here in England (blame us evil Brits again) Abraham Darby fired up the first modern blast furnace. This made the smelting of industrial quantities of iron ore possible and, it's generally accepted, kicked off the industrial revolution. Within decades factories had sprung up everywhere belching coal smoke from their inefficient (by modern standards) furnaces to the atmosphere. Homes too, in the new industrial towns burned coal.

As industrialisation spread around Europe and to America, Australia, Japan and other parts of the world smoke pollution gathered pace. Now with three hundred years momentum behind it, like the Titanic it is not going to be turned around quickly.

Added to that the earth is in a natural warming cycle and we widen the picture. This is bigger than anyone imagines. The process is unstoppable. There is a lot of reliable evidence we have passed tipping point, the permafrost in those vast tundras of Northern Canada, Alaska and Northern Russia is thawing, releasing vast amounts of methane into the atmosphere. When we look at the scale of the problems it is clear putting mirrors in the desert to reflect back sunlight, seeding clouds and fitting carbon capture to power station is like handing someone a band aid when they have had a limb shot off.

What we do know however is that as carbon pollution slowed from the 1950s through to the 1980s due to various clean air policies and car emissions control measures, processes attributed to global warming accelerated.

James Lovelock, the originator of Gaia theory recently wrote that our efforts to halt or reverse climate change were pointless, the ecosystem is too big and we are aware of only a small number of the interactions going on (El Nino in the Pacific causing the lousy summer we just had in Britain for example) to be able to predict the effects of scientists' attempts to tinker with the climate.

Lovelock's original theory thirty years ago suggests that the earth is constantly changing and the interactions of various systems including some of those mentioned are too subtle and too far reaching to be measured with any accuracy. Yet what can science offer if it cannot take measurements and collate data. Modern academic science looks at problems from a very narrow perspective and this leads to experiments that start from an answer and work back to find a question that fits and also serves an agenda. Academics deny this of course but if people go to the arctic to look for signs of the Arctic melting they are likely to find those signs just as if archaeologists go to the Holy Land to find proof of Biblical events they are predisposed to interpret what they find as proof of their case. One thing science cannot measure or explain in any meaningful way is human nature.

With the efforts of industry, commerce and academe proving so inadequate is there any hope? Yes there is. Thirty years ago when people like myself were waving placards and shouting slogans, when Lovelock was writing reasoned and perceptive cases to support his theory the political, business and academics were evading the issue or stroking their chins and muttering about insufficient evidence. Now in an era of control freakery they are exaggerating the dangers and using emotional blackmail to coerce us into compliance with their New World Order social engineering schemes.

There is little we can do about climate change, it is much too late. Had Abraham Darby known what we know now things might have been different. Unfortunately we cannot turn back the clock, all we can do is batten down the hatches and brace ourselves for for the changes that will come. Those who survive will be able to say "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

How Our Creature Comforts Are Baking The World
As the arguments rage on between the Climate Science Wankers lobby and the sceptis, realists and out and out deniers we observe that still nobody who gets media coverage, nobody who is talking sense about climate chaos, carbon based fuels, deforestation or over population is really being heard. Quite simply there are too many of us and we want too much. Who needs science or politics to understand that?

Climate Change Crooks And LiarsThough climate change alarmists claim that that "the science is settled" no longerr holds water the arguments rage on. If anything they are getting more heated as the climate science lobby, knocked from the moral high grounds show their true colours. But more and more evidence is showing the climate change science was never settyled and the global warming Armageddonists had built their whole case on very flimsy evidence.
Climate Science Debunked By Science Superstar Max Planck.
One of the lies most often repeated by the Climate Science lobby is that 'the science stands' i.e. that no fault was found in the scientific work of the CRU. This is both true and a lie, true in that no fault was found, a lie because the reason no fault was found is that to examine the scientific work was outside the Russell panel's terms of reference. This report features the Max Planck Institute's take on climate science and the IPCC.

No Jobs For The Masses In The New Economy Despite University Education
No matter how leaders like David Cameron and Barack Obama try to talk up their economies or assure voters the jobs market is improving, growth returning and unemployment will soon start falling, the truth is change does not equal progress and forcing the pace of social change has only masked the true depth of economic and social problems. One of these is unemployment and particularly joblessness among the young. Even a universdity education does not provide a guaranteed career path.

In this section we do not necessarily support the views expressed in linked articles but try to give a coss section of interesting and well written articles that we think are likely to stir things up a bit.

COMMENT:
(A random and ecletic mix of what we thought was worth reading recently)

Much Media Ado About Nothing What connects seemingly disparate works such as The Silence of the Lambs, Cape Fear, Mad Men, and Seinfeld? It is the philosophy of nihilism, first popularized by Friedrich Nietzsche in the late 19th century. But in the last few decades, how did it become the dominant worldview of Hollywood? Dawn Of The Ice Age Signals The End Of The Global Warming Scam Back then, the media and activists trumpeted the arrival of a new ice age, with the specter of ice sheets and glaciers covering half the northern hemisphere, and brutal winters in the remaining ice-free zones.

Drones In The Hands Of The Paparrazi - It's an ethical minefield
America's use of drones for targeted killings is serious enough. But commercial and law enforcement uses are on the horizon. Whether you view them as model aeroplanes for grown-ups or the handmaidens of the killer robot, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are taking off in earnest. ...

The Observer uncritically regurgitates Trotskyist smears against Katharine Birbalsingh- By Toby Young, Daily Telegraph
There’s a disgraceful attempt to smear Katharine Birbalsingh in this morning’s Observer. Under the headline “Katharine Birbalsingh criticised over ‘wasteful’ free school project“, the paper’s policy editor Daniel Boffey tries to create the impression that there’s growing local opposition to the Michaela Community School – Birbalsingh’s free school – which is due to open in…

We’re being sent the bill for the euro crisis again – this time by the IMF - By Daniel Hannan First it was individual banks; then whole industries; then entire countries; now it’s the world. Western leaders have reacted to the failure of each bailout by decreeing a bigger one. Unable to admit their mistake, slaves to the defunct economist whose thinking dominates our economics faculties and central banks, they act like so many Nick Leesons,…

The Three Parent Family More on the progressive left's war on the family and the scientific dictaorship's attempts to dehumanize us all.

Scientists have come up with an IVF technique that uses the undamaged DNA of a third party when couples risk giving their children a genetic conditions such as muscular dystrophy or ataxia.

As Obama Positions Himself For A War In Syria We Learn That Like Gadaffi, Assad Is Popular With His People
Most Syrians back President Assad, but you'd never know from western mediaAssad's popularity, Arab League observers, US military involvement: all distorted in the west's propaganda war. Suppose a respectable opinion poll found that most Syrians are in favour of Bashar al-Assad remaining as president, would that not be major news? Well one did and we never heard a word of it in the Obama felching western media ...

Bullshit Sherlock
While other blogs are full of how great the cliff - faller ending of Sherlock Holmes was I felt a bit let down. The fake suicide was telegraphed all through the show. And the coda assured us Sherlock had survived. We should not forget of course it was the habit of ...

Will bringing back grammar schools boost social mobility? by Toby Young Daily Telegraph
The possibility that England may shortly see its first new grammar school in over 50 years has, predictably enough, re-opened the debate about selective education. Yesterday, for instance, Allison Pearson came down firmly in favour, while Fiona Millar shot back with an instant rebuttal. I’ll get into that argument in a moment, but first let’s be…

So Why Read Books Anymore
There is great “truth and beauty” in Homer’s Iliad, but I would not try to make his sale on such platitudes. Gibbon’s The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire remains a classic. But I confess it can be hard to get through. Conrad’s Victory or Knut Hamsun’s Growth of the Soil, if authored by writer X this year, would be trashed on Amazon.So what are the reasons, in this age of ...

Eric Holder and the Chicago Way In America Obama's Brownshirts are getting hysterical as they try to make race the major issue in the election campaign.

Dystopian Prophecies Are Coming True - The Government Will Soon Choose Our Wives
Thinking of this entertaining new literary award – “the Hatchet Job of the Year” – it was natural to turn to Macaulay’s Essays, for few reviewers have ever been less reluctant to wound.
