CLIMATE CHANGE: SUBVERTING THE SCIENCE TO PROMOTE A POLITICAL AGENDA? Posted: 26 Sep 2015 01:27 AM PDT The basic facts … Climate is always changing. Man’s climate signal is lost among the noise of normal and natural climate variability. The Earth has been hotter, colder, with more atmospheric carbon dioxide and less carbon dioxide prior to the industrial age and it appears that man is not the cause of the global warming predicted by the computer models. Researchers are attempting to produce correlations between observations and computer models, but the truth is that we cannot predict the amplitude of these changes, nor can we predict the timing with any degree of certitude. Correlations are not causation. Science is not performed by consensus and counting research papers is not science, nor is it proof of a hypothesis or scientific principle. The present climate is at stasis or warming as would be expected from moving from an glaciated ice age to an interglacial age. All of the computer-generated models are deeply flawed and cannot match or predict long-term climate change. Much of the observational data, both direct and proxy, has been corrupted by statistical manipulations that appear to have a warming bias. The politicians and the special interests are all about power and money. To achieve a particular political agenda, some partisans have restated the fundamental question of climate change: what portion of climate change is attributable to natural factors and man-made factors:  natural factors the Sun’s energy output in all spectral bands, the position of the Earth relative to the Sun, the rotational and precessional dynamics of the Earth, the Earth’s vulcanology and plate tectonics, the deep ocean currents, and  the most potent greenhouse gas, water vapor; man-made factors: industrialization and the production of chemical and particulate aerosols, and urbanization and the replacement of rural growing areas with citified urban areas that form heat pools; and, unfortunately, are pursuing a partisan political agenda are concentrating research dollars in proving that climate change is man-made, thus producing a preponderance of biased scientific papers that fail to account for the overwhelming natural causes.  Perhaps that is because the natural component of climate change cannot be mitigated nor managed by man’s actions. So it is far easier to produce a bogeyman like carbon dioxide that can be manipulated by the partisans. If you are wondering why carbon dioxide was chosen, you need look no further than to find a substance, carbon, that affects every aspect of our lives and controls the energy needed to produce vibrant economies. And, with vibrant economies, those who would foment revolution to gain or maintain their power would be thwarted. However, if one does examine carbon dioxide closely, you might find that it lags the rise in global temperatures; thus it cannot be causal, and it can be easily explained as the natural process of out-gasification of the dissolved carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as oceans warm. Bottom line … There are many partisans that believe that we cannot begin to fight man-made global warming until capitalism is defeated, Americans are disarmed and made vulnerable, and some form of centrally-planned authoritarian government is installed; ostensibly for the good of all mankind. Not so coincidently the exact prescription of those attempting to implement socialism/communism. The honest answer is that “We the People,” as well as the researchers, do not know enough about climate change to definitively measure man’s impact on the climate amid the noise of nature’s normal variability, or to demonstrate that climate may be manipulated by man on a global scale. Therefor, any public policy based on hypothetical speculation should not be grounds for instituting political mechanisms that involve reducing man’s freedoms and enslaving entire populations for the benefits of any “enlightened ruling class.” That our climate data has been corrupted by scientists motivated by prestige, power, and profits is a national tragedy. That our system is being manipulated to deny “We the People” our freedom is a crime against humanity. -- steve
