Guest Post by Walter E. Williams
The absolute worst case of professional incompetence and dishonesty is in the area of climate science. Tony Heller has exposed some of the egregious dishonesty of mainstream environmentalists in a video he’s titled “My Gift To Climate Alarmists.” Environmentalists and their political allies attribute the recent increase in deadly forest fires to global warming. However, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Forest Service, forest fires reached their peak in the 1930s and have declined by 80% since then. Environmentalists hide the earlier data and make their case for the effects of global warming by showing the public and policymakers data from 1980 that shows an increase in forest fires.
Climate scientists claim that rising sea levels are caused by man-made global warming. Historical data from the tide gauge in Lower Manhattan shows that sea levels have been rising from about the time when Abraham Lincoln was president to now. Heller says that sea levels have been rising for about 20,000 years. He points out that anthropologists believe that when the sea level was very low people were able to walk from Siberia to North America.
Hot weather is often claimed to be a result of man-made climate change. Heller presents data showing the number of days in Waverly, Ohio, above 90 degrees. In 1895, there were 73 days above 90 degrees. In 1936, there were 82 days above 90 degrees. Since the 1930s, there has been a downward trend in the number of days above 90 degrees. If climatologists hide data from earlier years and started at 1955, they show an increase in the number of above 90-degree days from eight or nine to 30 or 40. Thus, to deceive us into thinking the climate is getting hotter, environmentalists have selected a starting date that fits their agenda.
You might ask: “Who is Tony Heller? Does he work for big oil?” It turns out that he is a scientist and claims to be a lifelong environmentalist. From what I can tell, he has no vested interests. In that respect, he is different from those who lead the environmental movement, who often either work for or are funded by governments.
Once in a while environmentalists reveal their true agenda. Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC’s fourth summary report released in 2007, speaking in 2010 advised: “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.” U.N. climate chief Christiana Figueres said that the true aim of the U.N.’s 2014 Paris climate conference was “to change the (capitalist) economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.”
Christine Stewart, Canada’s former Minister of the Environment said: “No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits. … Climate change (provides) the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.” Tim Wirth, former U.S. Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs and the person most responsible for setting up the Kyoto Protocol said: “We’ve got to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”
Not all scientists are dishonest and not all news reporters are leftists with an agenda. But one wonders at the deafening silence where there’s clear, unambiguous evidence. For example, if ocean levels have been rising for some 20,000 years, why do scientists allow environmentalists to get away with the claim that it’s a result of man-made global warming? Why aren’t there any reporters to highlight leftist statements such as those by Edenhofer, Stewart and others who want to ride global warming as a means to defeat capitalism and usher in socialism and communism? I would prefer to think that the silence of so many scientists represent their fears as opposed to their going along with the environmental extremist agenda.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive. Please consider contributing an amount commensurate to the value that you receive from this site and community, or even by becoming a sustaining supporter through periodic contributions.

Both.
It is very obvious that “climate science” is not based on any type of science, but is based on the 3-card monte system of fleecing those who are stupid.
And there is a whole lot of Stupid.
Option 3: Paid to lie.

And that’s all the weather hoax is, one big lie.
John Coleman is the scientist that founded the Weather Channel, and he tells the truth.
Well, at least they are coming clean as to their real agenda, thus admitting that the globull warming bullshit is a den of lies and communist policy. But we knew that all along didn’t we? Too bad the ignorant ‘Merican public buys all this shit spewed by the media and politicians. It’s kinda sad that they don’t know they are dupes or slaves or indentured servants (miss IS by the way. Hope he comes back if the indictments start rolling in as Q predicts).
Lately I’ve just been telling people that I don’t give a fuck about global warming. “But don’t you care about the children?” “No – I fucking hate the children.”
Global warming, climate change or what ever other buzz words you wish to put to the propaganda. All this is a sick gift to the under educated. The whole issue lacks critical thinking. Who the heck do “we” think we are when it comes to influencing a universe as complex as the one we are living in? Just saying.
So called science, is now a product. It is a product that is bought and paid for by the corporations, and financially eliete. It is manufactured for consumer consumption, and designed to further the agenda of the globalists who are rapidly implementing their plan to establish a new feudal system in which they control both the worlds governments and the worlds populations.
The huge amounts of wealth that have been concentrated in the elite classes has allowed them to now control all information whether it is science, or news, which in turn allows them to control what, and even how the average person thinks.
It is a sad time for humanity.
There’s that, and also …
When you do science for the government, they want to control the process. Basically, some nimrod Rep. or Senator decides he wants to look at X. Or, possibly, the Pentagon wants to evaluate Y. Maybe the NIH or DOEnergy wants to check out how Z occurs? You’d never know if they didn’t tell you they wanted to look at it, so well-known sites will tell you what the projects are.
You are a researcher at A University, B College or C Institute. You read the project proposals and realize you could look at some aspect of Y. So you write up your own proposal, how you are going to look at it and what methods you have to collect and analyze data. How long will it take? How much will it cost? You and who else, how many grad students, who is a minority? All of it goes into your proposal, and by deadline it takes off for submission.
You wait; depending on the priority, who’s asking and how this year’s budget numbers are looking, you might wait days, or months, or find it’s been pushed to next year, if you hear back at all.
IT CAME! Grab your colleagues, students and equipment, we’ve got eight months to do a year’s worth of work! Time passes in a fevered hurry, the compliance office is in your pants making sure you don’t waste / misallocate / steal any funds, the diversity office is making sure your students aren’t WASP or something equally reprehensible, and the Dean is wondering how soon you will finish so he can claim credit for it in this year’s letter to the Alumni asking for more donations.
Of course, if your proposal doesn’t look like it will answer the questions being asked IN THE WAY THEY WANT THE ANSWERS TO READ you won’t get approved / funded, and you can wait till next year for another opportunity.
THAT LAST SENTENCE is what’s wrong with most of the “research” being done on government projects these years; if they knew the answer in advance it’s not research, and if you tell them that you won’t get approved / funded. There are a few exceptions, but the researchers have learned to express the proposals in a way to get them funded, and the “project officers” have learned how to phrase the project solicitations so that the desired answers can be discerned.
