I hope Utube has this soon. I know PBS won't show it.
The emperor's green new clothes

Channel Four's devastating documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle has blown an enormous hole in every fundamental claim made to support the climate change obsession — including the claim that the argument is over. A procession of eminent scientists — climatologists, meteorologists, oceanographers, geologists, biogeographers, astrophysicists, professors of earth science, plus the former head of Greenpeace, who said that the global warming proponents were 'anti-human' — showed on the contrary that the theory bore no relation to science whatsoever. The earth was much warmer during many periods in the past; the ice caps were always expanding and contracting and Greenland was much warmer 1,000 years ago; most of the atmosphere was not warming as much as surface temperatures; volcanoes, animals and vegetation each produced infinitely more carbon dioxide than human activity; carbon dioxide could not possibly be the culprit for climate change since historically the warming of the atmosphere preceded any increases in carbon dioxide, thus showing up a central claim made by Al Gore in his movie to be utter rubbish; and so on.
Moreover, they also testified that the computer models which produced all the forecasts of climate apocalypse were rigged to produce the results that would attract official funds for climate change research, which had increased a thousandfold over the past 20 years; and that any scientists who tried to expose the monumental fraud of global warming theory stood to lose not only funding but also his reputation, which would be instantly trashed by the climate change zealots. As one of the sceptical scientists said on the film, the alarm over global warming was now 'beyond reason'.
Most amusingly of all, they also explained that the midwife to the anti-capitalist global warming industry was one Margaret Thatcher, who seized the opportunity to screw the British miners once and for all by using the panic over global warming to replace coal by nuclear power and threw money at the scientists to make it all happen. Thus an obsession was born, and a myriad scientific reputations now hang perilously by an ever-fraying thread.
Glorious. And terrifying; and shameful. |
