Can you guess what’s missing from the BBC article? Any attempt to reach out to the target. Most news organizations are essentially blogs nowadays, taking material and running with it, without reaching out to the people they are attacking. Though, they, like the other articles, did reach out to Warmists to attempt to rebut Newman
Australia PM’s adviser says climate change a UN hoax
A top Australian government business adviser has said climate change is a hoax by the United Nations.
Most climate models were wrong and there was little evidence of climate change, said Maurice Newman.
He said the UN had used climate change as a “hook” to establish and control a new world order.
Sounds pretty bad, eh? Especially that “new world order” thing, which is a conspiracy theory that even had me shaking my head. Until I continued reading.
He wrote in an opinion article for The Australian newspaper on Friday: “It’s a well-kept secret, but 95% of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error.”
Huh. That’s true. BTW, since the BBC refused to provide a link (which is the same at many other articles. It’s almost like they do not want you to read it), here it is. Rather than excerpt more from the Beebs, let’s go straight to the opinion piece
Why then, with such little evidence, does the UN insist the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on futile climate change policies? Perhaps Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN’s Framework on Climate Change has the answer?
In Brussels last February she said, “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution.â€
In other words, the real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook.
Figueres is on record saying democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China, she says, is the best model. This is not about facts or logic. It’s about a new world order under the control of the UN. It is opposed to capitalism and freedom and has made environmental catastrophism a household topic to achieve its objective.
Figueres says that, unlike the Industrial Revolution, “This is a centralised transformation that is taking place.†She sees the US partisan divide on global warming as “very detrimentalâ€. Of course. In her authoritarian world there will be no room for debate or Âdisagreement.
So, what he’s talking about is not a New World Order, but a complete change in world economics and power base as espoused by UN officials (and Warmists in general). They’ve stated time and time again, at least the honest ones, that they want to do away with capitalism.
Newman is telling it like it is using their own words. Nice job. And Teach as well.
There have been quite a few examples over the years of IPCC leaders and other AGW advocates saying that their goals are redistribution of wealth and disruption of the established economic systems. It’s not out of line to say that they are trying to make Revolution.
Sorry in advance for excessive cap use. OF COURSE AGW is a scam, but we need it to control people like john and jeffrey. STOP TELLING THEM IT’S A SCAM!!! IT’S A SECRET!
Trust me, you don’t want people like them advocating for real causes. Let’s do all we can to keep them involved in the silly idea of AGW.
Nice try. How much of my time do you think it takes to shoot down conservative lies? Answer: Not much.
You may be right. Except for the CO2, the warming, the sea level rise and melting ice, it could be a HOAX!
Every smart person on Earth disagrees with you, but you may be right. In fact, I’ve noticed that most conservatives consistenly disagree with smart people.
You stray from your wheelhouse when you try anything other your lame bon mots. Keep trying.
You are correct, if by ” Said True Things” you meant “Lied”.
Yes, Jeffrey. You are right. AGW is a real problem that needs to be dealt with, with some kind of law.
Never give up the fight!
Kevin its true. Global warming is NO HOAX. The planet in fact is warming. The ICE is melting. The sea is rising.
Just like it has done repeatedly over the course of the history of this planet for 4 plus billion years.
However I can hold your hand and assure you that in your lifetime or the lifetimes of your children and grandchildren that global warming is not going to be a significant problem.
In fact it will be a significant boon for societies as more and more lands currently uninhabitable open up to create more Carbon Sinks by exposing more fauna producing acreage. In addtion the existence of more co2 in the atmosphere will create a much better climate for plant based life.
This plant based life is of course why this planet thrives and the only reason mankind exists is because we breath the FARTS(Oxygen) expelled by the predominant life form of this planet.
Its truly amazing at how climate nazis center the world around their intelligent thinking when the reality is that this planets entire focus is plant based life and that mankind depends on these plants for their very existence.
We are a blight, a fungus, a virus on this planet. But the things we do are beneficial and not detrimental to the predominant life form of this planet.
Ergo as you push your so called intelligence and all knowing wisdom be advised that you and your fellow agents have serious holes in your logic and intelligent thinking.
That hole is simple. Let me simplify the entire point of my post.
Man exists because of plants which FART OXYGEN into the air. The more CO2 the more plants that are farting OXYGEN into the air. The less co2……the more ice and snow……the more ice and snow the less plant based life farting OXYGEN and the fewer people that exist.
Quite a cunundrum you intelligent people must face daily trying to center the planet around your own intelligent design when the planet itself is trying to find ways to expunge itself of your existence.
Yes Liam. Plants fart oxygen. Or whatever it us that you are complaining about today. I fully support you.
Absolutely lost aren’t cha Kevin. The thought that suddenly man is nothing but a blight on this planet and one destined to fail miserably as natures auto immune system destroys us and removes the disease from its body.
Yes I believe in Gaia. In mother earth. In the all powerful, all encompassing pure power of nature in all its splendor. Mankind is just along for the ride.
Burning a bit of carbon along the way and making the oceans rise a foot or two is nothing more then a hiccup for mother nature. One day she will expunges us. Most likely due to a blight in which she turns to Nitrogen to do her dirty work and kills every living being on this planet.
Like I posted elsewhere we have far more serious problems facing mankind then Climate change. Meanwhile mother earth is laughing at us as she watches man make a mess of his society, kills each other by the droves and pretends to know stuff that is unknowable.
She will watch us die. Gasping for oxygen as a world wide blight driven by nitrogen and co2 sucks all the oxygen out of the air………
Her dose of medicine for the cancer that is plaguing her body.
Say good night Kevin….and enjoy the ride…..its gonna be a short one for mankind.
Here are some cool words you can use to continue to complain about how much your butt hurts, Jeff and Liam. They rhyme too, so you can use them pretty much interchangeably. I snagged them from a tired U2 song. You are welcome.
This desperation
Dislocation
Separation
Condemnation
Revelation
In temptation
Isolation
Desolation
Let it go
Laim,
You’re a rare breed. A conservative science Denier who ascribes human (Godly?) emotions to the Earth, or Gaia, as you call “her”. It’s a very primitive belief.
While a complex system such as the Earth’s interconnected ecosystems, including the atmosphere, and influences from the moon and Sun, appears sentient, it is not. There is no Mother Nature.
That’s not to say that humans haven’t disrupted the normal functioning ecosystems in a way no other fauna has. How? By burning fossil fuels releasing CO2 previously locked away in fossil fuels. This action has increased atmospheric CO2 40%, clearly causing to warm rapidly.
How will your mythological “Mother Earth” kill off humans with CO2 and N2? Do you really believe that some supernatural “being” will decide to suck all the O2 out of the atmosphere?
Kevin,
And you’re rare and should never breed.
Anaerobic digestion? A collection of processes by which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen.
It is in heavy industrial use as we speak. Monsano is producing seeds which do not germinate. Across the world people are demanding that packaging indicate if GMO’s are or are not used in processing of food as in GMO or Genetically Modified ORGANISMS.
Bees are being killed by the millions around the world where insecticides are used to kill other things. The lack of bees polinating will and can ultimately contribute to a eco system in which oxygen free microbes run literally amuck.
Blight kills plant life. The increasing use of seedless seeds by corporations to make money, along with the literal killing of millions of bees is leading to an eventual die off of plant based carbon eating, oxygen producing naturally growing plant life.
In addition we cut down 100’s of square miles of rain forest each year further eroding the planets ability to produce oxygen.
While I might be a conservative politically I stand by my original thesis that we have far more to worry about planet wide then a contrived Climate change crisis when the crisis that is really capable of ending mankind is taking place in thousands of labs and factories around the world….right now…..as we speak.
Speaking of why I do not fear Climate change which is just a fancy name for global warming.
Two Words. Heat Retention. I wrote a paper several years back in which I analyzed data of temperature variants across the globe.
To summarize: thermometer readings are a piss poor means of measuring planet warming. Instead its universally now recognized that heat retention in the atmosphere is what is most important. Even the IPCC rewrote their reports to indicate such.
If the globe is warming substantially then the evidence would be in the atmospheric readings obtained by NOAA over the last 40 plus years.
Taking their existing data and measuring its effects we were able to scientifically conclude based upon their data that the stratosphere had warmed only 6/10ths of one degree f in 40 plus years. The stratosphere is the most significant sphere because it is at this point that the air is so thin that the effects of the sun would have minimal baring on the readings.
The largest measureable warming was just under 1 degree in 40 plus years. This certainly pointed to no significant planetary warming crisis as indicated by the IPCC.
As a result of my continual citation of NOAA’s own records they actually pulled their website offline for several days and when it miraculously reappeared the data was either gone or had been altered to indicate more of a heat retention. In essence the hockey stick was BACK!!
Heat retention in both the atmosphere and the ocean is the key indicator of how much warming is actually occurring. At present the world is on pace to warm by about 1.5 degrees f in the next 60 years. By 2100 the earths average temperature will have warmed by 1.7 degrees F not the exorbitant planet killing temperatures claimed by scientists who get their grants funded to say the right thing.
Their is scientific evidence for extended periods of drought and devastating weather events thru geological time. A time when Mankind was incapable of affecting the weather or was simply not even in existence.
The problem I have with Environazi’s is not that they want to get rid of fossil fuels. Hell I dont care if we farm food with robots run on a battery created by Microsoft. What I do care about is how they are so willing to cut the use of fossil fuels with absolutely NOTHING to replace them……even marginal cuts in Fossil fuels will lead to the eventual energy wars that are coming because as I spoke in another post it is concluded that we are not going to be able to produce enough alternative energy to meet the needs of the planet by 2050.
