(the antithesis of a warming world?)
Is There Global Warming?
Welcome........
I am not a scientist and do not pretend to be. But, I have been watching the issue of climate change now for two decades and have found it is not what many say it is. Here are a collection of articles, sources, and information. Use it if you like. Hopefully it will encourage you to seek your own truth since this is one of the great issues of our time.

“the policy cart is leading the scientific horse.” Curry “a person must not like capitalism or industrial development too much and should favor world government, rather than nations”; think differently, and you’ll find yourself ostracized. “Climatology has become a political party with totalitarian tendencies,” “If you don’t support the UN consensus on human-caused global warming, if you express the slightest skepticism, you are a ‘climate-change denier,’ a stooge of Donald Trump, a quasi-fascist who must be banned from the scientific community.”
– Joseph Goebbels
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”
The Nazi propaganda machine expoloited ordinary Germans by encouraging them to be co-producers of a false reality.
George Will....."When a politician says, concerning an issue involving science, that the debate is over, you can be sure of two things: The debate is raging, and he is losing."
Socrates....."When the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser".
"State a moral case to a ploughman and a professor. The former will decide it as well and often better than the latter, because he has not been led astray by artificial rules".
Thomas Jefferson
H.L. Mencken....“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it."
"It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance". Thomas Sowell
Linzen...Ordinary folk are more immune to it, because they already know university profs look down on them, so they don’t need to impress them. They can’t afford frivolous quests, like trying to change the weather with a light bulb. Ordinary folk ask good, basic questions. These are also hard questions which produce waffling, dissembling and running away, or namecalling, and no one needs a PhD to decide which scientist is right then.
To paraphrase Lindzen, educated elites are gullible suckers because they spent too much time at the university, and they are rich enough to afford to hold stupid ideas. They want to believe they understand science but the level of their understanding is “Bumper Sticker 101″. Smart people have smartish friends, and they are very afraid of looking stupid.
B 'An implausible conjecture backed by false evidence and repeated incessantly ... is used to promote the overturn of industrial civilization,'
'What we will be leaving our grandchildren is ... a landscape degraded by rusting wind farms and decaying solar panel arrays.'
'In asking me to comment on the Australian response, you are asking the wrong person. You need to speak to someone specializing in abnormal psychology.'
That's a complaint we've heard many times in climate science. Skeptical researchers are too often smeared, ostracized and silenced.
If climate science were truly settled, why would the dissenters be treated this way? Wouldn't it be enough to simply let the man-made warming take its course to prove them wrong?
Nobody Knows How Much of the Global Surface Warming from 1861 to 2005 Is Human-induced or Naturally Occurring. Climate Scientists Are Only Guessing. And Their Guesses Are Based on How They Program Their Computer Models (which vary by 400%) to Meet the Expectations and Political Agendas of the Politicians Providing the Funding for the Computer-Modeling Efforts. A computer-aided guess is still only a guess
What's an alternative to this "put us in charge or we're all going to die" madness? The U.S. solution: Give people the freedom to recognize problems, environmental as well as otherwise, and address those problems with practical rather than political solutions. That pits us against our problems rather than against eachother
confirmation bias and academic consensus group think
Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts
– Richard Feynman
One way to ensure robust assessments is to invite in critical voices, rather than exclude them.
If experts are going to demand that they be trusted, their numbers should add up right.
Roger Pielke Jr.
Currently all living things on Earth produce 440 billion tonnes of CO2 each year, or 13 times the amount from fossil-fuel emissions. When the activists make their apocalyptic pronouncements, the primary goal is not to save plants, humans or animals, but to use “climate change” as justification for centralizing power into the hands of a select few.
"The Nazi propaganda machine exploited ordinary Germans by encouraging them to be co-producers of a false reality."
H. L. Mencken, “there is always a well-known solution to every human problem – neat, plausible, and wrong,
Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy.
Geoffrey Po Doug Farmer there is agreement that the Earth has warmed somewhat, from the coldest part of the past 10,000 years, the Little Ice Age. The warming began in the mid 1800s and well before CO2 became an issue. But there is no agreement how much warming man is causing, or even if it is a problem or not. There is not a single peer reviewed scientific article that can accurately identify how much warming is from mankind and how much is from nature, it is a guess, Observation shows that temperatures were often warmer than today in the prior 10,000 years, obviously from natural forces, As for CO2, levels were much higher in most of the past 600 million years, levels were 500% higher in the dinosaur period (the Earth did not come to an end), and that CO2 has never been seen as a driver of the climate and when levels were much higher than today, There have been many false predictions such as peak oil, that the population would outstrip food supply, the 1970s global cooling scare, acid rain scare etc. It appears that politics and chasing govt research money has had a bad influence on science. As for physics, the warming properties of CO2 are logarithmic, meaning the more CO2 there is, the less additional warming it can cause. CO2, by itself, can not cause dangerous warming. Other things must happen, called positive feedbacks,would accelerate the warming, 3/4ths of the dangerous warming is said to come from them. the problem is they are not happening, nor have they been observed to exist in the past and when CO2 levels were much higher than today.
After all, even NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies asserts that the Global Annual Mean Surface Air Temperature Change from 1880 to 2017 is only just over one degree Celsius despite a reputed 40% rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) content. And the impact of further CO2 rise diminishes as the concentration increases.

"So these Climate Leadership members want to tax carbon dioxide: the gas of life, the miracle molecule that we exhale and that makes life on Earth possible. In fact, the more CO2 in the atmosphere, the faster and better food crop, forest and grassland plants grow; the better they survive droughts, diseases and viruses. Rising atmospheric CO2 levels are actually “greening the Earth,” including forests worldwide."
Manufacturing wind turbines, solar panels, backup batteries and ultra-long transmission lines requires removing billions of tons of rock and earth to extract and process millions of tons of exotic ores, limestone, iron, manganese, copper, petroleum-based fiberglass and composites, and other materials – all using fossil fuels."
" The vital exotics come from Mongolia, China and Congo, under minimal to nonexistent environmental, health and safety standards. But that’s somebody else’s backyard, so virtue preening climate activists can just ignore the emissions, habitat destruction, water pollution, health effects and premature deaths.

When will the climate change hoax fall apart?
Current world temperatures are not statistically different than the originally recorded temperatures over the last 100 years.
Frequency and severity of both cyclones and hurricanes is not statistically above its trends for the last 200 years.
Review the research record on eugenics. The climate change hysteria of its time, it ran for 70 years. Thousands of "citations". All came to an instantaneous end when they discovered Auschwitz.
Review the record on diet science. Truth was bottled up and denied for decades.
Review education research. The National Reading Panel found the 10,000 published papers in level 1 research journals weren’t worth the paper they were written on.
Review the record on Marx, according to our research journals; communism is superior to capitalism at producing prosperity all the way through the 60's. One hundred year run. These "scientists" have never been held accountable for the 40 million people who died in Russia, the 140 million who were murdered in China, the millions who have and are starving to death in North Korea, the killing fields in Cambodia and the total chaos in Venezuela.
Review Ignatz Semmelweiss. First scientist to discover the germ theory of disease, he had his doctors plunge their arms in chlorine solution. Instantly his baby death rates plunged by 70%. He was ridiculed to death... by leading scientists.

It’s still more important to belong to the tribe than to it is to speak the truth.”
a large sociological part of the problem is that climate scientists have in large part gotten caught in herd and tribal mentality.
“Liberalism was inevitably displaced by radicalism, radicalism had to surrender to socialism, and socialism could never resist Communism.” –
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The 97% figure reflects a great deal of peer pressure among climate scientists to conform to the "reality" of human-induced warming. This is a common phenomenon. In Hitler's day, for example, biological scientists in Germany virtually all agreed with the Nazi line that human experimentation was necessary and appropriate, even as they killed people. Other scientists "agreed" that Jews were inferior and needed to be gassed -- and some of those scientists developed the gas formula and the delivery systems.
First they believed in eugenics, then communism, and now global warming.
Akin to, and largely responsible for the sweeping changes in our industrial-military posture, has been the technological revolution during recent decades.
In this revolution, research has become central, it also becomes more formalized complex, and costly. A steadily increasing share is conducted for, by, or at the direction of, the Federal government.
Today, the solitary inventor, tinkering in his shop, has been overshadowed by task forces of scientists in labaratories and testing fields. In the same fashion, the free university, historically the fountainhead of free ideas and scientific discovery, has experienced a revolution in the conduct of research. Partly because of the huge costs involved, a government contract becomes virtually a substitute for intellectual curiosity. For every old blackboard there are now hundreds of new electronic computers.
The prospect of domination of the nation’s scholars by Federal employment, project allocations, and the power of money is ever present — and is gravely to be regarded.
Yet, in holding scientific research and discovery in respect, as we should, we must also be alert to the equal and opposite danger that public policy could itself become the captive of a scientific-technological elite.
It is the task of statesmanship to mold, to balance, and to integrate these and other forces, new and old, within the principles of our democratic system-ever aiming toward the supreme goals of our free society.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower
