A Truth That Climateers Simply Won’t Tolerate: Inconvenient Facts

australia sun heatThe poet Henry Longfellow wrote in 1845, “I shot an arrow into the air / It fell to earth, I knew not where.” The same thing happened with my Quadrant Online piece a fortnight ago about satellite readings of Australian temperatures.

A Melbourne scientist friend, Geoff Sherrington, had crunched the latest data from the UAH satellites (below) and found Australia has not warmed for the past ten years – so much for the “climate emergency”. The planet itself hasn’t warmed for nearly eight years, the satellites say.

The piece was titled “A Clear Case of Hot, Hotter … Hoodwinked”. Weirdly, it’s created a furor in the Parliament of British Columbia (BC), Canada’s westernmost province. BC is about the size of NSW and has a Queensland-size population.

John Rustad, the BC Liberals’ shadow spokesman for forests (he’s worked in forests for 20 years) was fired from his party last week for tweeting a link to the Quadrant piece. He now sits on the cross-bench as an independent.

The BC Liberals are vaguely center-right and were kicked out of office in 2017 by the labor unions’ socialist New Democrat Party (NDP), initially Greens-allied but since 2020 governing solo.

The Liberals are totally wet, spruik climate alarmism, and aren’t short on hypocrisy. The Liberals and the NDP can afford their anti-emissions policies because the province enjoys nearly 95 percent hydro-powered electricity (Australia: 6 percent hydro).

The Rustad sacking went like this:

♦ Vancouver resident Dr Patrick Moore, a one-time Greenpeace founder but now with the sceptic science group CO2 Coalition, liked the Quadrant piece and  tweeted it on August 14.  His Twitter followers total about 119,000.  He  added, “The case for CO2 as the global temperature control knob is getting weaker every day… #CelebrateCO2.”

♦ BC’s Liberal John Rustad re-tweeted Moore’s tweet. To wheel out a cliché, next day all hell broke loose. The Liberals’ leader in Opposition, Kevin Falcon, felt that Rustad was sabotaging his party’s efforts to save the planet from dastardly CO2. A day later he expelled him.

♦ The BC media hacks threw objectivity to the four winds (another cliché, apologies) and laid into Moore and Rustad as exemplars of climate denialism. They combed the records and social media to publish evidence of the pair’s heresies. In the process they exposed hilariously their own ignorance of matters like the life-affirming properties of CO2 which were once taught to every 13-year-old botany student. They were also incredulous that Moore would tweet that the Great Barrier Reef corals are in record health, notwithstanding this is now Australia’s official position.

♦ Adding to the media onslaught, LinkedIn has now banned Dr Moore’s account.

There’s a welter of issues in this strange saga, particularly how dangerous it is to query the narrative of climate apocalypse.

The climate story is such a house of cards that proponents, especially Big-Tech, want to crush doubters before they can put any wobble in the structure.

Patrick Moore is a case in point. He was president of Greenpeace Canada for nine years and a Greenpeace International director for seven more. He holds a Science Honors degree in forest biology and a Ph.D. in ecology.

In 1986 he quit Greenpeace over its extremist agendas, especially its perverse opposition to chlorinating drinking water to combat diseases. He is now a director of the Virginia-based CO2 Coalition, which assembles peer-reviewed scientific papers that contradict IPCC dogma, and is a senior fellow at America’s premier conservative group the Heartland Institute.

He toured Australia giving public talks for the Galileo Movement in 2014. Among his campaigns is promoting “Golden Rice” to remedy children’s vitamin A deficiencies, in opposition to Greenpeace’s campaigns against the life-saving rice additive.

Greenpeace, Wikipedia, and other liars now rewrite history to deny that Moore was a Greenpeace co-founder. JoNova refutes their claim here.

Moore both retweeted Quadrant’s article and posted it on LinkedIn,  the professional networking business owned by Microsoft.[1] A day or two later, LinkedIn banned his account, alleging unspecified violations of its “professional community standards”.

Moore doesn’t know if the timing was a coincidence. “Just another example of power-tripping egomaniacs who now reject free speech even when it is the truth,” he says.

“I made a lot of posts and they don’t give you a clue as to which part of which post they think is a violation. There is nothing professional in their ‘Professional Community Standards’ except the name.”

Others from the CO2 Coalition banned by LinkedIn since July are executive director Greg Wrightstone,[2] economics associate Darren Nelson, member Peter Frank, and Coalition PR consultant A.J. Rice, whose account was re-instated a week ago.

Wrightstone believes LinkedIn has set out to silence the CO2 Coalition. He was permanently banned without warning after posting two climate charts derived from the IPCC itself, and the Coalition page has been shut down.

He says, “This is contrary to long and rich traditions of the Western civilization that established the scientific method. All reasonable people should be chilled by LinkedIn’s actions.”

As an aside, there have been two Oxford Union-style science debates in New York between top alarmists and top skeptics.

In 2007 the alarmist team was led by NASA guru Dr. Gavin Schmidt and skeptics’ by MIT’s Professor Richard Lindzen. Lindzen’s team won in official results from audience before-and-after polling, with a 16 percent swing to the skeptics.

Schmidt has fled from such debates ever since, claiming (despite being a scientist) that debates are not worthwhile.

To make the best of a bad job, warmists furtively altered the official results online to record a warmists’ win by 89 percent, despite the correct results remaining in the transcript.

This fraud was present in 2020 but now removed.

From 2007 it became settled policy in the warmist community to shun debates with skeptics, although there are honorable exceptions like Melbourne’s Dr. David Karoly (warmist) debating in print with Will Happer (skeptic) in 2018, with inconclusive results because Karoly had to pull out mid-debate for personal reasons.

In last week’s debate between Texas A&M’s Andrew Dressler (alarmism) and NYU’s Steven Koonin (skeptic), the official result was a skeptic win with a 25% favorable swing.

    It seems to me that warmists display some of the characteristics of religious bigots. They won’t accept any evidence (or even a suggestion) that their position is unreasonable. If the facts don’t fit their beliefs then it’s the facts that must be wrong. During the last 2 years, I’ve been conducting an online debate with an old colleague who has very similar academic training and qualifications to me. Every time I presented to him the latest piece of evidence that the AGW thesis is faulty, he dismissed it as either a fabrication produced by those horrible deniers or irrelevant because it didn’t emanate from the IPCC. Sadly, I’ve now given up the debate with him as he’s so obviously thoroughly brainwashed.

    So just how many gallons of Fossil Fuel dose Greenpeace use while they sail all over the world in the Arctic Sunrise and Rainbow Warrior II and their Zodiacs with their Gasoline Engines

    Excellent synopsis. The sooner the climate cult loses completely, the sooner humanity will get back to successful growth.
