The popular worldview presented by mainstream media tends to be in agreement with the proposition that climate change is the result of mankind's activities -- but that does not include everyone. And certainly not everyone in the scientific community.
Because of her research and documented conclusions, Dr. Judith Curry, most recently at Georgia Institute of Technology has been labeled a “denier” by Global Warming proponents. Climate change scientists have not been able to refute her evidence, and findings – so they choose instead to label, ostracize and vilify her. This is the left’s standard response to views they don’t want to hear, no matter how sound or well documented they may be.
She claims climate change is a theory, not a fact. Like many other theories, there needs to be free exchange of evidence, findings, and dialogue. But, unfortunately it has been allowed to become one of the world’s most profitable hysterias.
One of the very earliest champions of human caused Climate Change is the United Nations. The UN has been historically an adversary of western capitalism and free trade economies. When the UN created the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), their charge at the outset was clear. This is our premise, "Global warming and human caused climate change is a fact and an existential threat to human life on the planet. Now go find evidence to support this premise."
Curry says climate change has been going on for centuries. A natural phenomenon.
It is not an existential threat to the world in the 21st century. One of her targets has been the claim of rising seas inundating the world’s coastlines and cities. Curry says those claims and predictions have been shown to be unfounded and constantly amended to keep the threat alive. Because of the world’s commitment to this theory and the profitability of it in directing world policy, it has become impossible to objectively research, discuss and share varying opinions. Those who do not agree with the “party line” are dismissed and labeled.
Michael Mann, University of Pennsylvania climatologist (well-funded by those who he agrees with) said of Dr. Curry upon her retirement in 2017, “Climate science will be stronger without her because of her continued denialism.”
Another so-called denier is Dr. John Clausen, 2022 Nobel Prize winner. Because he is a member of the CO2 Coalition, he has been universally blackballed. CO2 Coalition does NOT believe human activity – burning of fossil fuels – has caused climate change. Yes, there is evidence it is happening – but NOT as a result of people and their actions.
In June of 2023, Clausen spoke at an event called Quantum Korea 2023 in Seoul. His comments could be summed up by saying, ‘I don’t believe there is a worldwide climate crisis. There is too much misinformation and corruption (fame & fortune) to allow the scientific community to distinguish truth on this matter,”
He was one of over 1600 world scientists who signed a declaration saying, “It is our belief that there is no world-wide climate emergency. As a group they did not claim this was a fact that everyone must agree with, just that through their own studies, this was their well- researched opinion.”
Following the publication of his findings and his speech in Korea, has been removed from lists of reputable experts in his field and cancelled. Speaking opportunities have been rescinded. For example, he was slated to speak in 2023 at the (IMF) International Monetary Fund. Shortly before the event, he was informed that he was no longer welcome to appear as one of the speakers. Only speakers who agreed with their views were allowed to speak at this otherwise open and informative event. As we see at so many media and university gatherings, they do not want anyone to hear his views because they are not acceptable.
John Coleman, the founder of the Weather Channel, said before his death in 2018 that there is no real evidence for concluding that the world’s climate is changing because of human activity.”
As Dr. Judith Curry also said, this international effort first appeared in the 1980’s when the United Nations adopted these international goals and political priorities. Since then, millions of dollars in corporate and governmental grants have been awarded to those people and entities who are willing to openly support and promote this theory.
Now in many levels of media, plus corporate and governmental policy, the approved position is: there is an overwhelming scientific consensus stating that human activity (primarily the burning of fossil fuels) is the cause of critical global warming and climate change. This has become an existential threat to life on our planet.
However, the declaration of a growing number of reputable scientists is: This so-called consensus is manufactured and driven by politics and the opportunities for promotion, fame and wealth. It is not the result of true scientific research, evidence and objective dialogue accompanied by the sharing of findings among experts.
According to Dr. Clausen, a very significant result and purpose of this world-wide hysteria, has been the emergence of a true and very real crisis...energy. The energy crisis brings hardships and suffering to many countries and millions of people across the world. This hysteria and resulting crisis was caused by incorrect and deliberately biased climate science.”
The decades-long efforts of the United Nations, initially directed at a seeming weather related occurrence, have now by design, come full circle to impact the western nations and economies of the world.
