Global Warming Deniers Grow More Desperate By The Day

David Suzuki & Ian Hanington.

Desmogblog


The Heartland Institute's recent International Climate Change
Conference in Las Vegas illustrates climate change deniers' desperate
confusion. As Bloomberg News noted, "Heartland's strategy seemed to be
to throw many theories at the wall and see what stuck." A who's who of
fossil fuel industry supporters and anti-science shills variously
argued that global warming is a myth; that it's happening but natural
-- a result of the sun or "Pacific Decadal Oscillation"; that it's
happening but we shouldn't worry about it; or that global cooling is
the real problem.

The only common thread, Bloomberg reported, was the preponderance of
attacks on and jokes about Al Gore: "It rarely took more than a minute
or two before one punctuated the swirl of opaque and occasionally
conflicting scientific theories."

Personal attacks are common among deniers. Their lies are continually
debunked, leaving them with no rational challenge to overwhelming
scientific evidence that the world is warming and that humans are
largely responsible. Comments under my columns about global
warming include endless repetition of falsehoods like "there's been no
warming for 18 years", "it's the sun", and references to "communist
misanthropes", "libtard warmers", alarmists and worse...

Far worse. Katharine Hayhoe, director of Texas Tech's Climate Science
Center and an evangelical Christian, had her email inbox flooded
with hate mail and threats after conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh
denounced her, and right-wing blogger Mark Morano published her email
address. "I got an email the other day so obscene I had to file a
police report," Hayhoe said in an interview on the Responding to
Climate Change website. "They mentioned my child. It had all kinds of
sexual perversions in it -- it just makes your skin crawl."

One email chastised her for taking "a man's job" and called for her
public execution, finishing with, "If you have a child, then women in
the future will be even more leery of lying to get ahead, when they see
your baby crying next to the basket next to the guillotine."

Many attacks came from fellow Christians unable to accept that humans
can affect "God's creation". That's a belief held even by a few
well-known scientists and others held up as climate experts, including
Roy Spencer, David Legates and Canadian economist Ross McKitrick.
They've signed the Cornwall Alliance's Evangelical Declaration on
Global Warming, which says, "We believe Earth and its ecosystems --
created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by
His faithful providence -- are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and
self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying
His glory. Earth's climate system is no exception." This worldview
predetermines their approach to the science.

Lest you think nasty, irrational comments are exclusively from fringe
elements, remember the gathering place for most deniers, the Heartland
Institute, has compared those who accept the evidence for human-caused
climate change to terrorists. Similar language was used to describe the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in a full-page ad in USA Today
and Politico from the Environmental Policy Alliance, a front group set
up by PR firm Berman and Company, which has attacked environmentalists,
labour-rights advocates, health organizations -- even Mothers Against
Drunk Driving and the Humane Society -- on behalf of funders and
clients including Monsanto, Wendy's and tobacco giant Phillip Morris.
The terrorism meme was later picked up by Pennsylvania Republican
congressman Mike Kelly.

Fortunately, most people don't buy irrational attempts to disavow
science. A Forum Research poll found 81 per cent of Canadians accept
the reality of global warming, and 58 per cent agree it's mostly
human-caused. An Ipsos MORI poll found that, although the U.S. has
a higher number of climate change deniers than 20 countries surveyed,
54 per cent of Americans believe in human-caused climate change.
(Research also shows climate change denial is most prevalent in
English-speaking countries, especially in areas "served" by media
outlets owned by Rupert Murdoch, who rejects climate science.)

It's time to shift attention from those who sow doubt and confusion,
either out of ignorance or misanthropic greed, to those who want to
address a real, serious problem. The BBC has the right idea,
instructing its reporters to improve accuracy by giving less air time
to people with anti-science views, including climate change deniers.

Solutions exist, but every delay makes them more difficult and costly.

Or "it's happening but species die off all the time. It's nacheral! Since it's nacheral it's ok if humans go extinct!"

They have no choice but to claim every university on the planel is in cahoots, in a conspiracy, with the Marxist military, the commie NOAA, the Maoist NASA and the pinko Scientific American / Nature cabal.

Being a denier and being a conspiracy theorist not just have broad overlap, they are closely related:

If anything doesn't fit into the "no gummint action no matter whut" ideology AGW deniers just deny that it is true.

Being a denier is so easy not only can any idiot be a denier, a sub double digit IQ is a prerequisite!

Same thing for conspiracy theorists.

If anything doesn't fit into the conspiracy narrative, i.e., concentration camp time stamps, etc., the conspiracy theorist just expands his conspiracy theory to include that as well.

Holocaust deniers end up making such bat crazy claims about the Jews controlling everything, God Himself would be foolish to try to counter the Jews.

Same for climate science deniers. Deniers' own talking points indicate that the Marxist climate scientists have taken over Nature, Scientific American, NASA, NOAA, and every university on the planet except creationist Liberty U.!

If the climate scientists are such great conspirators, then it is futile to oppose them.

Just turn tits up and surrender!

Suzuki is a celebrity scientist whose entire career was made by the CBC
and the taxpayers of Canada. Gore is a failed president wannabe and a
policy hack. About the only positive thing Gore ever did in his career
was promote the commercialization of the Internet. AFAIK, neither Gore
nor Suzuki have ever published in a refereed journal and neither
qualifies as a "scientist" in terms of original research.

Dr. Roy Spencer, on the other hand, does qualify.

I'd heard the dingbats yammer on about how the climate is in perfect balance.
E.g. followers of Milk-a-cow-skis 1d -ve heat capacity negative feedback
model. I'd heard them yammer on about how the earth is only 6000
years old and was created only for Man's enjoyment. But I never until now
connected the 2 groups of cranks as some kind of simple-minded
interpretation of the Bible evangelicals.

Live and learn. :)

It is where the liberal left and socialists are these days. Not my fault
your part of these people!

And we know this from THEIR statements!

Well, right from the greens horses mouth:

130 Environmental Groups call for An End to Capitalism
http://dailycaller.com/2014/07/23/130-environmental-groups-call-for-an-end-to-capitalism/

<quote>
Environmentalists have declared that global warming can’t be stopped without
ending the “hegemonic capitalist system,”
<quote>

Here is a quote from your
socialist foe at the IPCC:

<quote>
One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by
climate policy.” – Ottmar Edenhofer, co-chair of Working group III IPCC, In
an interview published by the Neue Zürchen Zeitung.
</quote>

Above again is RIGHT from the horses mouth. So this is not about science
here, is
it, but only your left wing socialist "cause" and agenda.

You have to define what it is we are denying here. I not aware of one
skeptic that does not believe CO2 can trap heat (not one!).

Of course if you can't get what we don't agree upon here, then you just
showing you cannot reason and are being dishonest.

The simple matter is man's output of CO2 is not a problem. And as more
observations come out, we see LESS AND LESS
sensitivity as claimed by the AL Gores and the IPPC. We not seen warming for
nearly 18 years now.


>If the climate scientists are such great conspirators, then it is futile to
>oppose them.

Who says there is a conspiracy here? Why do you make up such crap?

So find me a government employee wondering the halls of government asking
for less taxes and less government employees?

And your brain dead concluding is this is a conspiracy?

Exactly when did your IQ become that of a drunken rodeo clown? Yet you don't
find any government employees wondering the halls asking for less
government, do you?
And your claim this is a conspiracy? (you cannot possible be that stupid,
can you?).

And for the reading public here? Lets help you open up your eyes to what
Brett and foe are all about:

Here is a WONDERFUL video of Brent's kind of friends at the Copenhagen
global warming conference:

So yes, you birds of a left wing socialist feather MOST certainly do flock
together.

Here go watch your friends and foe at the climate conference again!!!

Sounds like you folks are getting more desperate.

After all the Australia public demanded and got a repeal of of the CO2 tax
in Australia - this whole scam is unraveling and doing so fast! And that is
with near 100% of the news media and you folks spewing out your socialist
dribble. Fact is the public is TURNING on this issue and you loosing this

You should try being honest. Dr. Suzuki is a world famous scientist.
Al Gore was the vice president of the largest super power on the
planet. They both understood what the science was saying. So do every
university on the planet and the IPCC and its reports. If the best you
can do is attack two earth shakers in your denial of AGW it is time

Real scientists do research, make discoveries and expand the scientific
knowledge base. Suzuki has done no original research, made no
discoveries, nor has he expanded the knowledge base. He is only a
scientist in name.

You should try being honest. St. Suzuki hasn't done any real science in years.... he's a wealthy champagne socialist entertainment celebrity.

And even when he did do science..many years ago... it had nothing to do with climate.

It had to do with Zoology and Fruit Fly Genetics.

In an interview in Australia..... (he was paid $75,000.00) Suzuki didn't even know what G.I.S.S., U.A.H. and HadCRU(T) meant. (Goddard Institute of Space Studies, University of Alabama at Huntsville, and Hadley Centre of the UK Met Office and the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia.
Those organizations are where the I.P.C.C. get a lot of (maybe most) of their temperature data from.

And the totally disgraced Suzuki was clueless..... had no idea..... How embarrassing for him...... and so funny.

That's the moron that you idolize.....

Suzuki won't allow himself to be interviewed by Canadian media without
pre-written questions and a script to follow. The Australian media
isn't quite so compliant, that's why Suzuki was so terribly confused and
befuddled.

Because birds of a feather flock together.

And worse, those officials from IPCC etc. on occasion open their big mouths.

They are plain and clear declaration of how these people think and you
clearly also think like them.

I mean, even the climate gate emails mention the term "cause" over and over.
Since when did science become a cause.

So we know how these people think by watching videos of folks like you at
the climate conferences.

Quote by Christine Stewart, former Canadian Environment Minister:
“No matter if the science is all phoney, there are collateral
environmental benefits.... climate change [provides] the greatest
chance to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

Quote by Judi Bari, an American environmentalist and labor leader, a
feminist, and the principal organizer of Earth First!: "I think if we
don't overthrow capitalism, we don't have a chance of saving the world
ecologically,"

Quote by David Brower, a founder of the Sierra Club: "The goal now is
a socialist, redistributionist society, which is nature's proper
steward and society's only hope."

The list goes on and on.

So we know how your socialists breathern and comrades think - just by
quoting them and watching videos of your kind march at climate conferences.

Really! It is very easy to see how you folks think by simply quoting you!

So your true colors show quite much each time you open your mouth!

Dr.Suzuki is a world famous scientist. Al Gore does not have to be a
scientist. You seem to speak daily on scientific matters and you are
not a scientist or a Nobel winner for making a movie about global

You say Suzuki is a "world famous scientist" yet you can't actually show
any peer-reviewed scientific work that Suzuki has done.

Which leads to the obvious conclusion: gordo doesn't know the difference
between science and environmental activism.

If you want to get a sense of global warming economic activity just
follow insurance industry news. They already consider it a serious
material threat. People like Canuck57 have their heads firmly inserted
up their asses and are completely lost to reality and reason. Not much
you can do to convince them... just remember who they are when they come
looking for compensation for damages.

Nothing wrong with scientists being active. They have been burned at
the stake and had hot pokers shoved up their ass for explaining
science when the Christians power brokers saw science as a threat to
their power. Here is a truth. Dr. Suzuki is a world famous scientist
and Al Gore was a vice president of the Largest super power nation on
the planet. You belong to the rabble that shrieks , crucify them
because I don't like what they say.

Science can be flawed or accurate. But because it is usually based on
sampling, research, observance and reviews, it's more often accurate.

Environmental organizations know that the planet is experiencing huge
problems and the point out the results of the science from the above.

Got a problem with that, Dobranski?

Suzuki has a Ph.D in Zoologogy. That makes him an animal biologist or
an animal scientist.
He went on to be a professor in genetics.

I'd say he's "done some science". Only a 'moron' would not.

Gordo paraded facts about people who speak about AGW. Why did he
mention those particular facts in this context? I didn't mention
anyone else. Your question to me is irrelevant. Explain why you think
the past lives of these particular activists is relevant, and then we
might talk about whether I agree.

I never said he hasn't ever done any science research.

I said he hasn't done any in years..... he's a multimillionaire champagne socialist political activist entertainment celebrity.

Ph.D. in Zoology... not a climate scientist.

Fruit Fly genetics........not a climate scientist...

In front of the audience in Australia..... under questioning...Suzuki the fruit fly doctor didn't even know what HadCRUT and GISS and UAH stood for...

The guy has FOUR homes. One worth $8,000,000.00 bucks... flies around the world going to places like Australia and Bhutan....travels across Canada in a fleet of busses.....

He tells us that we need to cut back on the number of kids we have... ]

Suzuki has FIVE kids....

And he's telling US that we need to cut back our elaborate lifestyles to save the planet while he lives like a king.....

Talk about embarrassing.... LOL... ha. ha. ha. ha

And you support him........

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Thanks for making me laugh today..... . LOL
