Climate Change: ” A Load of Hot Air Underpinned by fraud”
The scientific consensus that mankind has caused climate change was rocked yesterday as a leading academic called it a “load of hot air underpinned by fraud”. Professor Ian Plimer condemned the climate change lobby as “climate comrades” keeping the “gravy train” going. In a controversial talk just days before the start of a climate summit attended by world leaders in Copenhagen, Prof Plimer said Governments were treating the public like “fools” and using climate change to increase taxes. He said carbon dioxide has had no impact on temperature and that recent warming was part of the natural cycle of climate stretching over billions of years.
Prof Plimer told a London audience: “Climates always change. They always have and they always will. They are driven by a number of factors that are random and cyclical.”
His comments came days after a scandal in climate-change research emerged through the leak of emails from the world-leading research unit at the University of East Anglia. They appeared to show that scientists had been massaging data to prove that global warming was taking place
The Climate Research Unit also admitted getting rid of much of its raw climate data, which means other scientists cannot check the subsequent research. Last night the head of the CRU, Professor Phil Jones, said he would stand down while an independent review took place.
Professor Plimer said climate change was caused by natural events such as volcanic eruptions, the shifting of the Earth’s orbit and cosmic radiation. He said: “Carbon dioxide levels have been up to 1,000 times higher in the past. CO2 cannot be driving global warming now.
“In the past we have had rapid and significant climate change with temperature changes greater than anything we are measuring today. They are driven by processes that have been going on since the beginning of time.”
He cited periods of warming during the Roman Empire and in the Middle Ages – when Vikings grew crops on Greenland – and cooler phases such as the Dark Ages and the Little Ice Age from 1300 to 1850. And he predicted that the next phase would cool the planet.
Climate change is widely blamed on the burning of fossil fuels which release greenhouse gases such as CO2 into the atmosphere, where they trap the sun’s heat.
The talks at Copenhagen are expected to find ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally.
But Professor Plimer, of Adelaide and Melbourne Universities, said that to stop climate change Governments should find ways to prevent changes to the Earth’s orbit and ocean currents and avoid explosions of supernovae in space. Of the saga of the leaked emails, he said: “If you have to argue your science by using fraud, your science is not valid.”

Face Forward Comments:
The news on Climategate continues to break very fast, though interestingly, not very fast on American Television News……
What we see at stake is our future by a government bent on controlling the population. What would cause a scientist, whose life is supposed to be based on impericale truths, to create false data to support a false assumption?……Money.
There are literally hundreds of millions of dollars in grants being awarded to climate scientist to come out in favor of the global warming hoax. Of course the grant owners do not publicly admit that the grants are for climate propaganda but before the studies are ever done you can rest assured that the results are in.
Here is a sample of grants:
From the NOAA (National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration) Changing climate confronts us with significant economic, health, safety, and national security implications. NOAA has a significant responsibility in operational observation, research, prediction, and information management for studying climate and global change. What? Climate Change…….do you think they already knew what the studies would show….. of course.
NASA Announces Global Climate Change Education Grant Awards. NASA has awarded $6.4 million in grants to institutions of higher education and not-for-profit education organizations nationwide to enhance learning through the use of NASA’s Earth science resources. Hey not just education but indoctrination for our youth.
Remember all of those Ukrainian scientist that came out and said the science that the US and UN used was faulty? Looks like someone is trying to buy them off.
2009 Cooperative Grant Program Climate Change & Energy Competition For Joint U.S.-Ukrainian Research Teams
The U.S. Civilian Research & Development Foundation (CRDF) is currently accepting proposals for its 2009 Cooperative Grants Program (CGP 2009) Climate Change and Energy Competition. This program provides awards of $90,000 for up to two years of support to joint research teams of U.S. and Ukrainian scientists.
These are just a few of the many grants available to scientist if they are willing to back the Global Warming Hoax.
