Intro

In 2006 Canada’s National Post newspaper employed well-known enviro-careerist Larry Solomon to interview key sceptics of “global warming” science. The interviews were worked into a 235 page bestseller: The Deniers (Richard Vigilante Books, 2008). Deniers is so repetitive as to be a fraud upon the consumer. Every statement is made twice, often verbatim, sometimes on the same page. As well, Larry, a confused and opinionated egocentric, refers to himself over 100 times. The book contains egregious errors and is padded with redundant, confusing but “looks-like-science” graphs. Larry’s scientific paraphrasing doesn’t pass the laugh test. However, once the scientists and their comments are wrested from Larry, what remains is a decisive 14-page counter-claim to the Big Lie of “global warming.”

Grounds for Scepticism

Preamble

The main organization developing and disseminating “greenhouse gas,” “anthropogenic global warming” and/or “climate change” propaganda is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This organization was established in 1988 by the United Nation’s World Meteorological Organization and United Nations Environment Programme, with UNEP in the driver’s seat. The IPCC party line is: burning hydrocarbon fuels (coal, petroleum, and natural gas) increases the amount of heat-trapping CO2 in the atmosphere; thus, artificially warms the planet. The party line (hereafter: “global warming”) further contends this artificial heating causes: droughts, storms, floods (as sea levels rise due to melting glaciers) and plagues (due to increasing mobility of disease-bearing insects).

In 1971, George Kukla (now an award-winning researcher at Columbia U) was a Czechoslovakian Academy of Science member studying ocean-floor strata. He concluded: “changes in the Earth’s orbital geometry caused the ice ages. The evidence is so strong that other explanations must now be discarded.” (1) In 1972 Kukla helped organize a conference at Brown U – “The Present Interglacial: How and When Will it End?” Conference goers agreed: “deterioration of climate, by order of magnitude larger than any hitherto experienced by civilized mankind, is a very real possibility and indeed may be due very soon. The cooling has natural cause and falls within the processes which produced the last ice age.” (2) After the conference Kukla et al. wrote about “global cooling” for Science magazine and alerted President Nixon in a letter warning of “substantially lowered food production” from “extreme weather anomalies” like killer frosts and floods. In 1973 the State Department established a Panel on the Present Interglacial. In 1974 the US government’s new “United States Climate Program” was justified by a litany of climate change indicators such as: “A killing winter freeze, followed by a severe summer heat wave in the United States…Drought in the Soviet Union (and)…anomalously low precipitation in the US Pacific Northwest.” In 1975 Newsweek ran a “Cooling World” cover story and Congress passed the National Climate Program Act (NCPA) – the first of several bills funding climate research and contingency planning. In 1979, Carter signed a revised NCPAto better anticipate and combat “global cooling.” (3) Today Kukla’s opinion’s are unchanged: “the principal driver of weather patterns and long-term global climates is the temperature difference between the high latitudes…and in the tropical belt…Only when the resulting ice…flows toward the low latitudes, does the global area-weighted mean surface temperature start to drop…we enter the global cooling period by a global warming.” (4) The 1975-1998 warming was neither surprising nor confounding as “none of us expected uninterrupted continuation of this trend.” (5)
