Climate Change: The Most Massive Scientific Fraud In Human History

Climate alarmism is a gigantic fraud: it only survives by suppressing dissent and by spending tens of billions of dollars of public money every year on pseudo-scientific propaganda.

Climate pseudo-science is wrong on physics, biology, meteorology, mathematics, computer sciences, and almost everything else. And even if the “climate science” were perfectly correct, climate alarmism politics would still be a tyranny and betrayal.

Alarmists demand that the US and other Western countries unilaterally decrease their carbon dioxide emissions while allowing an unlimited increase to China and all other countries, which already emit more than 70% of carbon dioxide and almost 100% of other infrared-absorbing gases and soot.How could this happen?

Carbon dioxide is exhaled by humans with each breath. How could the idea to call it a “pollutant” and to regulate its “emissions” get such traction in our society? How could a mad suicidal cult and its preachers obtain so much power in the academia and media, and become a cornerstone of the Democrats’ political platform, in the 21st century?

Many factors were in play.

  1. This takeover did not happen overnight but took some 30-40 years.
  1. Climate alarmism was born and acquired power abroad. It was led by a bunch of non-governmental organizations of the environmentalist and “global governance” persuasion, acting in cahoots with certain United Nations agencies. It infiltrated the US through American branches of foreign NGOs and their fellow travelers, such as NRDC and EDF. Climate alarmism made a huge leap in 1993 when its fanatical disciple Al Gore became the Vice President. Nevertheless, climate alarmism has always been and remains an essentially foreign phenomenon.For example, the infamous Congressional testimony delivered by Dr. James Hansen in 1988, on invitation from Senator Wirth, was instigated by foreign enviros and diplomats in the run-up to the Toronto conference that happened a few weeks later. The climate dogma had been developing largely in lawless UN agencies and unaccountable transnational organizations, often using them as an extra-territorial operational base when the national public demanded answers about its mischief.
  1. There is indeed a strong consensus among foreign governments in support of climate alarmism. This consensus has nothing to do with the science. Many governments are promised “reparations” from the United States for alleged harm; other countries expect to benefit from the damage to North American oil & gas exploration inflicted by climate alarmism; and another group of countries enjoys immunity from limitations that climate treaties impose on Europe and North America and receive fringe benefits in the form of outsourced manufacturing and/or preferential trade terms. Finally, many European countries are ruled by coalitions including influential Green Parties, and the rest are too small to resist.
  1. Over the last 8-10 years, climate alarmism has achieved its huge scale by spending tens of billions of dollars on its own public relations, including payments to public relations firms, pseudo-scientists, corrupt academics, university administrators, journalists, and media outlets. It has also created its own institutions with scientific-sounding names and taken over formerly highly-regarded organizations, including the National Academy of Sciences. Climate alarmism continues to demand more and more money, and spends most of it on self-promotion and intimidating its opponents.
  1. The leaders and pseudo-scientists of climate alarmism are driven by many motives. Fear of just punishment is quickly becoming the leading motive, as it should be. Their crimes start with tax evasion, theft of hundreds of billions of dollars, inflicting economic damage on the order of trillions of dollars, including an attempt to murder millions of Americans by shutting down the national energy infrastructure and possibly include high treason. It is likely that they hide the truth even from their nominal party leaders – Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. That makes the current situation even more dangerous and unpredictable.
  1. The foreign interference, money, and some confusion about the subject matter were not the only factors in the meteoric rise of climate alarmism. Since the late 1980s, the global warming agenda has been accepted by the left as “their cause,” and received unconditional support. The majority of the scientists leaned left, and many of them accepted the alarmist claims (which were much more reasonable then than today) of the environmentalists and general media without suspicion. These scientists also bore old prejudices against conservatives, to whom they attributed all kinds of anti-scientific leanings. Although these prejudices provided enough breeding ground for alarmism, the scientific community successfully resisted climate alarmism in 1990’s. The Oregon Petition, signed by more than 30,000 scientists and other professionals knowledgeable in sciences, is just one example.
  1. In 2001, even the International Panel on Climate Change acknowledged that carbon dioxide emissions did not cause harmful climate change. It reacted to this “discovery” by removing the word “anthropogenic” from its definition of “climate change.” That did not stop climate alarmism from gaining momentum. Instead, climate alarmism finally parted ways with science and declared its dogma to be the undisputed truth.
  1. Scientifically illiterate Al Gore was responsible for the science in the Clinton–Gore administration from 1993-2001. He evaluated scientists according to their agreement with his views on global warming. Not surprisingly, his appointments and budget decisions had the effect of deadly poison, administered to the American scientific enterprise. (To tell the truth, it was not all Al Gore’s fault. The scientific enterprise came under fire from many directions, from the academic “social constructivism” theory to “diversity” politics.) The scientific institutions, already leaning left before Al Gore, just fell to the left after his reign.
  1. George W. Bush was too naïve to fight cunning enviros on the government payroll posing as scientists and was allowed too little time for that anyway. Concerned with maintaining national unity in the aftermath of the enemy attack on 9/11, he appointed Democrat John Marburger as his scientific advisor (Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy). Marburger let government-financed scientific institutions slide further down and to the left, but his appointment did not save Bush from the usual accusations of “manipulating science for political purposes,” “censoring scientific results,” and “silencing the science,” all slogans shouted by the Union of Con Scientists and the rest of the attack pack.
  1. In 1997, the US Senate rejected the Kyoto pact, instigated by climate alarmism, by a 95–0 vote. The main reason was its discriminatory terms against the US. But these terms, demanding unilateral emission cuts by the US and few other countries, were more like an insult added to an injury. The injury was the corruption of the science by environmentalist quackery, of which the global warming catastrophism was just the latest example. This vote proved to be a palliative treatment. Many politically active leftist scientists, including distinguished ones, remained committed to the totalitarian ideals, wanted Congress to accept their beliefs as the science, and called for Congress to restore science to its appropriate place in government. But the First Amendment says: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion. The leftist scientists either did not understand the First Amendment, decided that it applied only to a religion of the “ordinary folk” and not to them, or were egged on by their comrades whose “science” needed “a place in the government” because it took place neither in nature nor in the lab. When the Senate passed a resolution not addressing alarmist beliefs directly, these scientists probably concluded that the Senators did not have scientific arguments against the alarmist beliefs, and acted out of some ulterior political motives. And they accepted the alarmist claims (which were much more moderate then than today) as real science, and opposition to them as politically or financially motivated. Since many of these scientists were quite distinguished and sincere in their ignorance and hubris, their opinion carried much weight with their colleagues.
  1. The lawless nature of the IPCC and other UN agencies allowed climate alarmists to pull off a trick which would be impossible in any national forum. It was like the “telephone” game played by kids. Scientists at the bottom of the IPCC structure were saying one thing, while Greenpeace and its accomplices at the top of the IPCC structure were telling the public something entirely different, and invoking the authority of the scientists. When elected officials disagreed with the Greenpeace allegations, many legitimate scientists thought that the politicians misunderstood the science, and sharply criticized them. The leftist media was only too happy to amplify such criticism.One example is the play on the definition of “climate change.” If climate change is understood as “dangerous anthropogenic global warming,” as in the UN Framework Agreement on Climate Change, then climate change does not happen. If climate change is defined to include natural climate variations, according to the IPCC’s Third Assessment Report (2001), then it happens and has been happening for billions of years, but is not alarming. And there are dozens or hundreds of mutually incompatible definitions of climate change, produced by climate alarmists and by scientists trying to get crumbs from the alarmist table.
  1. The extreme left apparently took over the Democratic Party in 2002-2005. The DNC started to court the foreign vote openly. The Internet made that courting easy and convenient. Democrat Congresspersons welcomed foreign “observers” at the US elections. Al Gore started a hedge fund called Generation Investment Management in the UK and founded an exchange to trade hot air (voluntary carbon credits). Gore and his minions publicly fantasized that the hot air would become the hottest commodity of the 21st century, and prepped themselves to become multi-billionaires. Unfortunately, they did not stop at fantasizing, but attracted some serious money, and put it at work to scare us into buying those carbon credits. In 2006, following Al Gore’s fraudumentary An Inconvenient Truth, climate alarmism started its own offensive against the US on the American soil. This offensive has been going surprisingly successfully and led to the current situation.
  1. The recent Attorneys General gambit is a show of desperation, rather than strength. Greenpeace, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and whoever else behind them have sacrificed three state Attorneys General – Eric Schneiderman, Maura Healey, and Kamala Harris – as if they were merely pawns.  Maybe they were.  Those who press an analogy between the energy companies and the tobacco companies just expose themselves as either hopelessly crazy or craftily malicious. Those who act on that analogy are either criminals or enemy agents. Tobacco is a harmful, addictive, and useless (for everybody but the smokers) product. This is why the unconstitutional and corrupt prosecution of the tobacco companies was successful twenty years ago. Oil, gas, and coal are exactly opposite to tobacco. They are energy sources necessary for the existence of civilized society, on which the lives of the majority of Americans depend. And not everybody in this country is an idiot, thinking that the power of his or her dreams can replace electricity and gasoline.By the way, the climate alarmist lobby opposes nuclear power and hydropower as fiercely as it opposes fossil fuels.

Climate alarmism’s Tower of Babel is falling. It is voluntarily supported by the Obama regime from inside, and by the Guardian from outside. The Guardian used to be a respectable newspaper of the British Left, but dropped to the tabloid level and is awaiting indictment for espionage.

Other supporters of climatism are in it only for the money, or because they are chained to it as galley slaves to their oars, or because they are too stupid to run away from the falling tower.

    Here’s another “power-of-suggestion” alarm from the fraudsters…..
    Fewer dead bugs on your windshield is a sign that Gaia is ill, something is happening, something is wrong. LOL,total BS. Modern automotive aerodynamics are an insect lifesaver. They ride the airstream and survive. I’ve followed cars and watched butterflies sail over them.

      As the author explains, this fraud started on many fronts over 30 years ago. Many “climate scientists” therefore have no clean frame of reference or access to non-corrupted data. In addition, the scientific process itself has been systematically suspended for “climate science”, leading to suppression of inquiry and even threats toward non-conforming opinion.

      It’s no wonder that popular “consensus” has replaced results that are verifiable to the real world. In science, consensus is irrelevant. What IS relevant is reproducible results.

    Let’s not forget the fraudulent way Wirth and Hansen gave their “testimony”:
    “Believe it or not, we called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer. Well, it was June 6 or June 9 or whatever it was, so we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo: It was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it. It was stiflingly hot that summer. [At] the same time you had this drought all across the country, so the linkage between the Hansen hearing and the drought became very intense.
    I think it was really cheap politics, and I think it’s going to turn out to, long term, be extraordinarily damaging to 6 billion people around the world….
    … What we did it was went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right? So that the air conditioning wasn�t working inside the room and so when the, when the hearing occurred there was not only bliss, which is television cameras in double figures, but it was really hot. …
    So Hansen’s giving this testimony, you’ve got these television cameras back there heating up the room, and the air conditioning in the room didn’t appear to work. So it was sort of a perfect collection of events that happened that day, with the wonderful Jim Hansen, who was wiping his brow at the witness table and giving this remarkable testimony. …”

    There’s just so much packed into this piece. Perhaps one of the most overlooked factors is #6, and this line: “The majority of the scientists leaned left, and many of them accepted the alarmist claims..”

    Many who refuse to accept this thing as a fraud do so by believing all those scientists would never place politics before science. WRONG. First, most of these scientists live in the world of academia; meaning that by default, they have chosen a lifestyle that is skewed wildly left verses the rest of society. Then, they accepted enormous sums of public grant money PREDICATED on the supporting outcomes of their work; a profoundly UN-scientific act.

    To most of them there IS no ethical dilemma because they view ethics within the already-corrupted and insulated world of left-wing academics. Hey, if all my friends and colleagues are doing this it must be alright… right?”

    Finally, consider the absurdity of the common prescriptions for man made climate change. At the same time that it is presented as a SCIENTIFIC problem, all the “solutions” are purely POLITICAL, reading almost verbatim like the 100-year wish list of World Socialism… All about the science?… Sure.

    The Emperor of Climate Science wears no clothes!!!

      We get it. It’s a lie.
      Why are people so willing to join the Climate Change movement? I wonder if embracing environmentalism elevates self-esteem in the bewildered.

    It is clear that articles like Leo Goldstein ‘s are increasing as the layers of the world’s largest fraud are presented in clear chronicle
    order . This fraud took place over 30 years lead by some of the biggest liars on planet but that wasn’t enough . Governments turning hard left saw nothing but gold dangling and they were hitting a tax point of diminishing returns . Lobby groups took over
    ownership of USA lawmakers through Super Pacs and infiltration
    resulting in a massive alignment of interests to screw the poor and middle class . The jig is up , the climate models used to underpin the fraud are debunked and everyone now knows the earth never had a fever just tricksters disguised as scientists and carpetbaggers
    looking to make themselves rich . The UN admitted what their game was years ago but no one paid attention so sleeze bags in office
    and corporate welfare bums made off like the bandits they are .
    All aid and abetted by a liberal media trying to salvage what’s left their broken business model .
    Ultimately the voters who continue to be robbed are waking up to be had and the con men know it . No more inconvenient lies are welcome but the damage these crooks inflicted will take decades to unravel one political loss at a time . The corporate bagmen and lobbyist’s will try to find a new way to get that wealth transfer to themselves as they always have but for now the global warming con game is fading fast .

      So, clearly global warming/climate change is just the left’s game of three card monte. And we know that when street hustlers are exposed they never turn around and become productive citizens… The left needs another diversion, a shiny object to occupy the public while their climate scammers hide from prosecution and the legal system is gummed up by activist judges. Here’s the big question: What is the next scam that will replace the climate hustle?

    Checked the weather channel for local weather last night; they were going on about low Arctic sea ice at end of melt season. Never mentioned this from NSIDC: “After reaching the minimum on September 13 (eighth lowest on record), extent initially increased slowly (about 20,000 square kilometers, or 8,000 square miles, per day). However, starting September 26 and persisting through the end of the month, ice growth rates increased to about 60,000 square kilometers (23,000 square miles) per day. During the second half of the month, extent increased in all sectors except in the Beaufort Sea, where some local ice retreat persisted.”
    They were only reporting Arctic data that supports their warmist position in an attempt to keep viewers alarmed about “climate”. The Worry Channel continues to report climate-pseudo science.

    This post has too many errors and distortions to count. Climate change is based on solid science. I know this because I am a scientist who publishes research on aquatic ecology and reads a lot of climate science.

      Cool Bill. I’m a scientist too… One who is NOT on the the payroll of outcome-based public funding. Unlike many others, I’m also not steeped in the 30+year xenophobic world of isolated academia.

    Human impact are undeniable they just aren’t running climate in any significant way that hold a candle to natural variables that are just beginning to be understood .

    “Climate change is based on solid science” ?
    Reminds me of Hollywood movie credits, “Based on the book” . The IPCC’s summary for policy makers is also “based” on science.
    If “Climate Change”. is based on solid science, what was Global Warming based on? If they’re the same, why the name change?
