Storm'n Norm'n: Climate Change: When Obama says, "Its the science." Don't believe him, its God! ...plus and excellent narrative by Dr. Patrick Moore...don't miss it!

Click on picture to enlarge.

As you go on to read this excellent commentary and hopefully watch the videos that follow please keep in mind that when Patrick Moore speaks of the hollow statements made by Obama that those hollow words are retained by the majority of hollow minded Obama supporters who haven't the brains listen to anyone that knows what they are talking about.If Barack Husein Obama is the leading word twister Alinskyite (here and here) then Patrick...that's Dr. Patrick Moore is the leading authority on climate change skepticism. You can learn more about climate change right here in several minutes than you can sitting all day listening to Obama or for that matter, Mr. climate change himself, Al Gore. Although I enjoyed Dr. Moore's commentary not enough has been said about the United Nations and why it is they are adamant about keeping us in fear of the weather, aka climate change. I do believe that I have credibility to add to this conversation and that is an accumulated amount of hours studying all aspects of this controversy that has already exceeded thousands of hours that I can sum up in a few words. The main reason(s) Obama, the Democrats, and the United Nations continue to use hollow statements that sound great to hollow minds is for control...control over the entire world (you have to study everything about the New World Order before attempting a debate here) and taxation. All of the aforementioned want to tax every living soul in order to control climate change; something that has been occuring since day one! On day one God created the heaven and the earth (and that included the weather). Let me leave you with one question: Who are they going to give your money to? God? ~ Norman E. Hooben
ps: When Obama says, "Its the science." Don't believe him, its God!
pps: Almost all taxes are designed to enrich the politicians who impose them. There are a few taxes that are designed to protect us, i.e. the military, but Obama has already weakened our military to pre-World War II levels while he has encouraged our enemies to expand theirs...leave that for another day.

Why I am a Climate Change Skeptic
by Patrick Moore

I am skeptical humans are the main cause of climate change and that it will be catastrophic in the near future. There is no scientific proof of this hypothesis, yet we are told “the debate is over” and “the science is settled.”

My skepticism begins with the believers’ certainty they can predict the global climate with a computer model. The entire basis for the doomsday climate change scenario is the hypothesis increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel emissions will heat the Earth to unlivable temperatures.
In fact, the Earth has been warming very gradually for 300 years, since the Little Ice Age ended, long before heavy use of fossil fuels. Prior to the Little Ice Age, during the Medieval Warm Period, Vikings colonized Greenland and Newfoundland, when it was warmer there than today. And during Roman times, it was warmer, long before fossil fuels revolutionized civilization.
The idea it would be catastrophic if carbon dioxide were to increase and average global temperature were to rise a few degrees is preposterous.
Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) announced for the umpteenth time we are doomed unless we reduce carbon-dioxide emissions to zero. Effectively this means either reducing the population to zero, or going back 10,000 years before humans began clearing forests for agriculture. This proposed cure is far worse than adapting to a warmer world, if it actually comes about.
IPCC Conflict of Interest
By its constitution, the IPCC has a hopeless conflict of interest. Its mandate is to consider only the human causes of global warming, not the many natural causes changing the climate for billions of years. We don’t understand the natural causes of climate change any more than we know if humans are part of the cause at present. If the IPCC did not find humans were the cause of warming, or if it found warming would be more positive than negative, there would be no need for the IPCC under its present mandate. To survive, it must find on the side of the apocalypse.
The IPCC should either have its mandate expanded to include all causes of climate change, or it should be dismantled.
Political Powerhouse
Climate change has become a powerful political force for many reasons. First, it is universal; we are told everything on Earth is threatened. Second, it invokes the two most powerful human motivators: fear and guilt. We fear driving our car will kill our grandchildren, and we feel guilty for doing it.
Third, there is a powerful convergence of interests among key elites that support the climate “narrative.” Environmentalists spread fear and raise donations; politicians appear to be saving the Earth from doom; the media has a field day with sensation and conflict; science institutions raise billions in grants, create whole new departments, and stoke a feeding frenzy of scary scenarios; business wants to look green, and get huge public subsidies for projects that would otherwise be economic losers, such as wind farms and solar arrays. Fourth, the Left sees climate change as a perfect means to redistribute wealth from industrial countries to the developing world and the UN bureaucracy.
So we are told carbon dioxide is a “toxic” “pollutant” that must be curtailed, when in fact it is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, gas and the most important food for life on earth. Without carbon dioxide above 150 parts per million, all plants would die.
Human Emissions Saved Planet
Over the past 150 million years, carbon dioxide had been drawn down steadily (by plants) from about 3,000 parts per million to about 280 parts per million before the Industrial Revolution. If this trend continued, the carbon dioxide level would have become too low to support life on Earth. Human fossil fuel use and clearing land for crops have boosted carbon dioxide from its lowest level in the history of the Earth back to 400 parts per million today.
At 400 parts per million, all our food crops, forests, and natural ecosystems are still on a starvation diet for carbon dioxide. The optimum level of carbon dioxide for plant growth, given enough water and nutrients, is about 1,500 parts per million, nearly four times higher than today. Greenhouse growers inject carbon-dioxide to increase yields. Farms and forests will produce more if carbon-dioxide keeps rising.
We have no proof increased carbon dioxide is responsible for the earth’s slight warming over the past 300 years. There has been no significant warming for 18 years while we have emitted 25 per cent of all the carbon dioxide ever emitted. Carbon dioxide is vital for life on Earth and plants would like more of it. Which should we emphasize to our children?
Celebrate Carbon Dioxide
The IPCC’s followers have given us a vision of a world dying because of carbon-dioxide emissions. I say the Earth would be a lot deader with no carbon dioxide, and more of it will be a very positive factor in feeding the world. Let’s celebrate carbon dioxide.

Author bio:

Dr. Patrick Moore is the co-founder, chair, and chief scientist of Greenspirit Strategies, a Vancouver-based consulting firm that provides paid public relations efforts, lectures, lobbying, opinions, and committee participation to government and industry on a wide range of environmental and sustainability issues. He is a frequent public speaker at meetings of industry associations, universities, and policy groups.
He is a founding member of Greenpeace and served for nine years as president of Greenpeace Canada and seven years as a director of Greenpeace International. As the leader of many campaigns Dr. Moore was a driving force shaping policy and direction while Greenpeace became the world’s largest environmental activist organization.
In recent years, Dr. Moore has been focused on the promotion of sustainability and consensus-building among competing concerns. He acts as a campaign spokesman for Allow Golden Rice Now, an initiative aiming to convince Greenpeace and its allies to stop opposing Golden Rice as a cure for vitamin A deficiency.
Dr. Moore has been a leader of the international environmental movement for more than 40 years. He was a member of British Columbia government-appointed Round Table on the Environment and Economy from 1990 to 1994. In 1990, Dr. Moore founded and chaired the BC Carbon Project, a group that worked to develop a common understanding of climate change.
Dr. Moore served for four years as vice president of environment for Waterfurnace International, the largest manufacturer of geothermal heat pumps for residential heating and cooling with renewable Earth energy.
As a member of the board of directors and chair of the Sustainable Forestry Committee of the Forest Alliance of BC, he leads the process of developing the “Principles of Sustainable Forestry,” which have been adopted by a majority of the industry.
In 2000, Greenspirit Enterprises published Dr. Moore’s book, Green Spirit - Trees Are the Answer, a photo-book that provides a new insight into how forests work and how they can play a powerful role in solving many of our current environmental problems. A tenth anniversary edition of the book was released in 2010.
In 2011, Dr. Moore’s latest book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout: The Making of a Sensible Environmentalist, was published by Beatty Street Publishing Inc. It presents Moore’s firsthand account of his many years as the ultimate Greenpeace insider. Read Dr. Moore's popular piece at the Heartlander, "Why I am a Climate Change Skeptic."
In 2014, Dr. Moore gave a presentation about his book and life experience at the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change in Las Vegas. (See video below.) At that conference, Dr. Moore accepted the "Speaks Truth to Power Award," which put him among several Climate Change Award Winners that year.
Dr. Moore received an honours B.Sc. in forest biology from the University of British Columbia and a Ph.D. in ecology from the Institute of Animal Resource Ecology, University of British Columbia, in 1972.
