by Dr. Ed Berry, Daily Inter Lake, Montana, Sunday, August 15, 2010 (Page C7) Morrie Shechtman gave a talk in Kalispell on August 6 illustrating how core values differ between liberals and conservatives. The one value that stood out to me was that liberals tend to consider themselves as “fragile” while conservatives tend to consider themselves […]
From: Hal Lewis, University of California, Santa Barbara To: Curtis G. Callan, Jr., Princeton University, President of the American Physical Society 6 October 2010 Dear Curt: When I first joined the American Physical Society sixty-seven years ago it was much smaller, much gentler, and as yet uncorrupted by the money flood (a threat against which
Click here to get the full report. This report is signed by over 1000 scientists. Compare this to the only 52, only a few of whom were scientists, who authored the IPCC Summary Report. Here are selected remarks from scientists: “Unfortunately, Climate Science has become Political Science…It is tragic that some perhaps well-meaning but politically
Believers in global warming who believe they prove their belief true by denigrating and black-listing opposing scientists would do well to hear this story. In 1946, Frank Tashlin’s book and MGM record of “The Bear that wasn’t” began teaching a whole generation of kids about logic in a 10-minute story, enjoyed by all ages. We
by Harrison H. Schmitt Americans should think long and hard about their children’s future before giving up liberties and incomes to politicians in Washington and at the United Nations in the name of “doing something” about climate change. Given how little we actually know about climate, as well as great uncertainties in what we do
Here’s what scientists say: 2007: 101 key scientists contradict the IPCC Report. 2008: 650 scientists, over 12 times the 52 signers, dissent at the UN meeting. 2008: Japan Geoscience Union symposium survey showed 90% of participants do not believe the IPCC report. 2009: 700 key scientists sign the Senate report (Inhofe) debunking man-made global warming
by Dr. Ed Berry (posted September 2009) On October 31, 2009, the Columbia Falls Aluminum Company, once the largest aluminum plant in the world, will shut down because it cannot purchase enough electrical power. Based in Flathead County, Montana, the shutdown will cost American some industry and some jobs. How did this happen in America? America
Here are the key points in the German letter: Information known before the IPCC was founded shows that human CO2 emissions have no measurable effect on global warming. The atmosphere has not warmed in the last 10 years and has cooled significantly since 2003. The expensive IPCC climate models predicted steady warming but the opposite
Letter to The Daily Inter Lake, Kalispell, Montana, on Sunday, March 29, page C9. by Edwin Berry Through March 15, 2009, 14 major weather stations in Alberta recorded their lowest March temperatures since the 1880s. Canadian weather stations broke these records on March 10: Edmonton International Airport reported an overnight low of -41.5 C, smashing
by Vaclav Klaus Climate Forum, Kongresshotel Seepark, Thun, Switzerland, October 9, 2008: Current priorities do not fall from the sky. They reflect our way of looking at things, “die Weltanschauung”, which characterizes our era. Its formation started decades ago. I see it in the culture, philosophy and ideology of the 1960s and 1970s which in
by Vaclav Klaus Hilton Hotel, Portland, Oregon, September 30, 2008: During my visits in the US in the last 19 years, I made speeches on a wide range of topics. There was, however, always a connection between them. They were all about freedom and about threats endangering it. Global warming is about freedom. It’s not
by Vaclav Klaus My answer to this question is very clear and straightforward: “Endangered is freedom. Climate is OK.” After spending several years studying this issue I came to the conclusion we were deceived. The Great Global Warming Debate is not about temperature or CO2 levels. It is not a scientific dispute inside climatology. The
Dr. Vaclav Klaus warns: Environmentalism as a metaphysical ideology and as a worldview has absolutely nothing to do with natural sciences or the climate itself. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with social sciences either. Environmentalism, not preservation of nature (and of environment), is a leftist ideology. Environmentalism is a vehicle for bringing socialist government
by Prof. Richard S. Lindzen, Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Abstract For a variety of inter-related cultural, organizational, and political reasons, progress in climate science and the actual solution of scientific problems in this field have moved at a much slower rate than would normally be possible. Not all these
“Global Warming worse than Terrorism”: By Dr. Tim Ball Monday, June 23, 2008 At a 2004 conference of the Russian National Academy of Sciences Sir David King, Chief Scientific Adviser to Tony Blair’s government made the startling statement that, “Global warming is worse than terrorism.” He was right, but not as he intended. The false premise
by Dr. Tim Ball In previous parts of this series (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), I identified the deliberate process by which climate science was hijacked to establish a political agenda of undermining developed industrialized nations. Maurice Strong and then others used UN agencies to control the science and the politics
By Dr. Tim Ball In previous parts of this series (Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) I’ve shown how a political agenda took over climate science primarily through the UN and specifically the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The agenda was
