Are you one of the victims of the "greatest scam in history"?
I'm not referring to the scam conducted by Bernie Mad[e]off.
I'm referring to what veteran meteorologist John Coleman calls
the
"greatest
scam in history".
The victims of Mad[e]off's scam are typical of scam victims. They
allowed their greed to override their common sense.
They failed to consider the advice of the police that if some
opportunity sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Victims of the global warming scam have done nothing to make themselves
victims, particularly those who are unemployed through no actions they
have taken.
Those who could have been employed constructing clean
coal powered electric plants are unemployed because the
perpetrators of the global warming scam have stopped construction of
those plants. The need to supply equipment for such
plants and goods and services to construction workers would have
created more jobs.
According to the perpetrators of the global warming scam, there
is
supposed to be a
total consensus that what they call "global warming" is a major threat
to earth's future. Coleman is one of many meteorlogists who
disagree with some or all of their claims.
S.
Fred Singer is
another who questions such claims. The two of them together have
over 100 years of experience studying weather.
Coleman founded the
Weather Channel.
Singer was the first head of the National Weather Satellite Service.
The claim that the minor atmospheric gas carbon dioxide (CO2) can
determine atmospheric temperature sounds so absurd that it is hard to
understand how anyone with a logical scientific mind could believe
it. Supposedly CO2 which comprises less than 400 parts per
million of the atmosphere can cause higher temperatures by absorbing
and reemitting low energy infrared radiation (IR) from earth's
surface. They make this claim in spite of the fact that physicist
R.W. Wood
proved
a century ago that trapping IR couldn't even cause
heating in an enclosed greenhouse much less the atmosphere.
The equation they use to predict catastrophic warming contains a
major flaw that NASA covered up until Ferenc Miskolczi left NASA
and blew the
whistle on them. The equation
Arthur Milne developed in 1922 contains a
serious flaw. Milne
mistakenly solved the differential equation involved by assuming an
infinitely thick atmosphere. NASA is a major player in the global
warming scam . Some of its employees may have acted
illegally.
Those who believe in global warming claim that a 1 degree Fahrenheit
(0.5 degree Celsius) increase in what they call a global average
temperature during the 20th Century indicates global warming. The
fact is that even if
the number they use had any mathematical value it would amount to only
a 0.16 % change which would more likely be due to changes or
deficiencies in equipment or changes in the area surrounding the
equipment.
Much of that equipment is in areas where maintenance
is likely to be unavailable, but even the equipment in developed
countries may be unreliable. There are documented problems with
equipment and locations used to measure temperatures in the U.S.
Believers in global warming act more like religious fanatics than
scientists. For them consensus is more important than
facts. They call those who question their beliefs names like
"contrarians" or "deniers" much like those who believed the earth was
the center of the universe called Galileo and Copernicus
"heretics'.
Those who question global warming have something else in common with
Galileo and Copernicus. Galileo and Copernicus challenged
the belief
that the human inhabited earth must be the center of the universe the
sun. Their persecutors believed the sun must revolve around the
earth because
the consensus view considered
humans so important.
Those who claim
humans are causing global warming believe humans are so powerful they
can
magically control earth's climate by manipulating a very minor
atmospheric
gas. They ignore the fact that earth's heat comes from the
sun.
The so-called "deniers" believe that changes in the sun's output
determine whether earth warms or cools. Some
astrophysicists, who study the sun, believe that thousands of years of
observation of the sun indicate the sun is about to enter a part of its
cycle in which it will produce less heat as was the case in the 18th
Century when Gen. George Washington's troops spent an extremely cold
winter at Valley Forge.
The corrupt United Nations and other political organizations are
pushing the scam. This is the same U.N. that was
behind the
oil
for food scandals and scandals in UNESCO and
UNICEF. The same U.N. that approved the U.S. invasion
of Iraq to look for Weapons of Mass Destruction. There was more
evidence for WMD in Iraq than there is for global warming caused by
CO2.
Some financial interests, including the bankrupt Lehman Brothers, have
been pushing the scam as means of increasing the value of a
financial instrument they call "carbon credits". These
carbon credits potentially allow financial parasites to cut themselves
in for a portion of the revenue of various companies. Carbon
credits inflate the cost of goods and services and may force companies
to lay off people who would otherwise not lose their jobs.
Supporters of the global warming scam claim they want to protect the
environment, but they call CO2 a polutant even though it is essential
to biological life. Plants need CO2 to produce the food we
eat.
The scammers by emphasizing a non-threat to the environment divert
attention from ways humans actually affect the environment such
as the production of black soot in China's dirty coal electrical
plants. Black soot mixing with snow in the Arctic
converts sunlight into heat that melts the snow. Without the soot
the snow would reflect the sunlight back into space.
I plan to elaborate on some of these points in future posts.
