Infographic on politicized science of Global warming

THE POLITICIZED SCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING "Twenty years ago, climate research became politicized in favor of one particular HYPOTHESIS". -Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist ...top-level politicians do not express their Global Warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice". -President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus "...they often imagine that anyoné who doubts the hypothesis of man-made Global Warming must be in the pay of the oil companies". "There is no basis for saying, as most do, that the SCIENCE IS SETTLED". "When politicians & journalists declare that the science of Global Warming is settled, they show a regrettable ignorance about HOW SCIENCE WORKS." -Claude Allegre, a leading French scientist, who was among the first scientists to try to warn people of the dangers of global warming 20 years -Calder ago. (Allegre now believes that "increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena".) SEMANTICS, POLITICS OŘ SCIENCE "With one poorly chosen word, climate-change skeptics were handed an opportunity to sow more doubt & confusion about Global Warming." -Michael D. Lemonick. Writer for Climate Central, a nonprofit, nonpartisan research & news organization (Our central mission is communicating to a general audience what the science is & what it is not.) Summer 2012 97% of Greenland's vast ice sheet had undergone at least some surface melting, compared with a normal melt area of about 50%. NASA NASA's Exaggerated Press Release: Announced the melting was "UNPRECEDENTÉD." It happened most recently in 1889 & it happens, on average, every 150 years or so II Some Perspective: Widespread melting is anything but unprecedented. "This summer's surface melt has very likely been influenced by Global Warming, but it might have happened anyway." - Lemonick GOOD POLITICS & BAD SCIENCE The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 was awarded jointly to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) & AI Gore Jr AI Gore He Is: A politician & an academy award winning film maker (An Inconvenient He Is Not: A climatologist, meteorologist, astronomer, or scientist of any kind. Truth) .The Unlawful Contravention of an Act of Parliament, Prohibiting the Political Indoctrination of Children. October 2007 The High Court in London identified 9 "errors" in Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth. UK Government was required to send every secondary school in England a corrected guidance note making clear the mainstream scientific position on these 9 "errors". 35 ERRORS INNACCURACIES & EXAGERATIONS HAVE SINCE BEEN FOUND IN THE FILM. ipcc "IPCC is not a scientific institution: it's a political body, a sort of non-government organization of green flavor. It's neither a forum of neutral scientists nor a balanced group of scientists. These people are politicized scíentísts who arrive there with a one-sided opinion & a one-sided assignment." -Klaus INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON climate change IPCC Reports Rely on Historical Temperature Data & Trends Global Warming: The world's average temperature has been increasing over the past 150 will be increasing more in years, the future, & the world's climate will change as a result. Temperature trends: One of the greatest fallacies in the claims about man-made Global Warming. Plotted over decades, temperature trends are not meaningful, or understood to the degree that they can be projected. Any trend depends heavily upon the choice of start & end points. A judicious selection of such points can create a wide variety of trends. EX: Annual Average Temperatures From Britain's CRU 3.0 2.5 1975-2006- 2.0 1.87 °C/century 1.5 1945-2006- 1.05 °C/century 1900-2006- 1.0 0.72 °C/century 0.5 0.0 None of these trends is any more correct than either of the others. Trends Cannot Be Extrapolated Meaningfully Unless Scientists: (a) Thoroughly understand all relevant clímate factors. (b) Are confident that the trends in each individual factor will continue. (c) Are confident that interactions between factors will not cause a disruption to the overall trend. THE "30 EQUATION" REBUTTAL OF IPCC'S GLOBAL WARMING Christopher Monckton, who once advised Margaret Thatcher, demonstrated via 30 equations that computer models used He showed that later this century, a doubling of the concentration of CO2 compared with pre-industrial levels, will increase global mean surface tempera- ture by little more than 1 °F. (Not by the IPCC predicted 6 °F.) ZU UO pre-programmed with overstated values, for the three variables whose product is "climate sensitivity". · perhaps real-world climate sensitivity is very much below the IPCC's estimates. Perhaps, therefore, there is NO 'CLIMATE CRISIS' AT ALL. ... the correct policy approach to a non-problem is to have the courage to do nothing." - Monckton Source: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/aug/02/opinion/la-oe-lemonick-climate-science-skeptics-20120802 http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/monckton/goreerrors.html http://www.globalresearch.ca/global-warming-a-convenient-lie/5086 http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2007/ http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/originals/fallacies.html http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/press/proved_no_climate_crisis.html Juulu に | 6 THE POLITICIZED SCIENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING "Twenty years ago, climate research became politicized in favor of one particular HYPOTHESIS". -Nigel Calder, the former editor of New Scientist ...top-level politicians do not express their Global Warming doubts because a whip of political correctness strangles their voice". -President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus "...they often imagine that anyoné who doubts the hypothesis of man-made Global Warming must be in the pay of the oil companies".
