I’m
not sure when the first climate change warnings came to be just that; warnings! Although I do recall reading about some
Swedish scientist who wrote in 1896 about the burning of fossil fuels and it’s ‘greenhouse’
effect on the planet earth. Also, when I
was just a youngster (not sure how old I was then, but Harry Truman was the
president so let’s just say I was 10 or 11 years old) I read that scientists
were warning that the sun was going to explode but Harry Truman was not worried
about it because the expected date was a few million years away. I do know that TIME magazine has published
numerous articles about climate change for well over forty years…sometimes
global cooling and other times global warming, whatever which way the political
winds were blowing. I mention TIME
because they are not a news magazine but rather a propaganda magazine and they
have been since their inception.
About
1990 we were had a new faux-authoritarian (my terminology) report from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and such reports came every now and then (no set
schedule…1995, 2001, 2007, and 2014) .
Each and every report came with the same dire warnings as the previous
report with some new ones added for impact.
We also know that the United Nations is adamant about their warnings
regardless of the falsehoods in their reporting. This was exposed during the so-called ‘Climate-gate’
meeting in Stockholm, Sweden in 2013.
So
why the hullabaloo over climate change?
The UN with the help of all the propaganda machines (remember TIME
magazine) wants some sort of climate treaty signed among participating members
in 2015 with the sole purpose of collecting a tax from every citizen in the
world…and this includes you! So you want
to call it a warning…I’m warning you now, stay away from any politician who
promotes climate change legislation. It
should be one of the first things you check on before voting…a vote for climate
change legislation is a vote to steal your hard earned money. And who are they going to give the money
to? God!
Remember
this, the climate has been changing since day one and will continue to change
until the end of time and a prayer to God will have more affect on climate
change that any amount of tax dollars. ~ Norman E. Hooben

Apollo Astronaut: Climate Alarmism Is the ‘Biggest Fraud in the Field of Science’
97% Climate Consensus ‘Most Nonsensical, Stupid Number in the World’
by Craig Bannister
Climate alarmism is "the biggest fraud in the field
of science" and the 97% consensus claim is nonsensical, Apollo 7 astronaut
Walter Cunningham tells MRCTV in a preview of his presentation at the upcoming
Heartland Institute climate conference, July 7-9.
"Since about 2000, I looked farther and farther into
it," Col. Cunningham (USMC, Ret.) tells MRCTV in an exclusive interview.
"I found that not one of the claims that the alarmists were making out
there had any bearings, whatsoever. And, so, it was kind of a no-brainer to
come to the conclusion."
Cunningham rejects the notion of man-made climate, not
only as fact - but also as even qualifying as an actual "theory":
"In the media, it was being called a theory.
Obviously, they didn't know what it means to be a theory."
"If we go back to the warmist hypothesis - not a theory, but, a
hypothesis - they've been saying from the very beginning that carbon
dioxide levels are abnormally high, that higher levels of carbon dioxide are
bad for humans, and they thought warmer temperatures are bad for our world, and
they thought we were able to override natural forces to control the earth's
temperature. So, as I've looked into those, that's the problem that I've found,
because I didn't find any of those to be correct - and, they certainly were not
a theory, it was just their guess at what they wanted to see in the data
they were looking at."
Cunningham urges Americans to look at the data and decide
for themselves, instead of taking anyone else's word for it:
"You go out and take a look at it and you find out
that a lot of it is pure nonsense and wishful thinking on the part of
the alarmists who are looking for more and more money to fall into their
hands."
"Don't believe it just because
your professor said it. You gotta go take a look at
it. Go back and look at the history of temperature and carbon dioxide, and you look
at the value of carbon dioxide, and how it's a benefit today."

Cunningham notes that, while climate alarmists are
concerned that the atmosphere currently contains 400 parts per million of CO2,
that's only a tenth of the level his spacecraft had to reach before causing
concern. In his Apollo craft, an alarm would go off when CO2 reached 4,000
parts per million and, in today's space shuttle, the trigger is 5,000. And, in
submarines where crewmen may be on three-month missions, CO2 has to reach 8,000
parts per million before the alarm is activated.
"In one area after another, we find these people
overly concerned about, one, the danger they're trying to push on us and,
secondly, the claim that we can somehow or other control the earth's
temperature by affecting it," Cunningham says.
"I can't say we don't have any impact, at all, but
it'd be so miniscule and so tiny, that it wouldn't be worth any effort."
So, what does dictate the Earth's temperature? Cunningham
says it's well-established that "principle controllers" are natural
forces like sun, ocean temperature, and even volcanic activity.
Thus, he calls climate alarmism "the biggest fraud
in the field of science":
"The case is, to me, really, it's laughable to find
somebody who claims to be a serious scientist - that he would buy into this.
So, I would really question anybody who claims to be a scientist doing this -
so, what they do is try to control the nomenclature."
"To me, it's almost laughable, it's the biggest
fraud in the field of science, certainly in my lifetime, maybe the biggest
one in centuries."
"If you go back and you look at the data that has
been well-documented over the years, you can look and see, for example, that
right now both carbon dioxide and temperature are simultaneously at one of
the lowest levels in at least the last 600-800 million years. The last time
they were both together at this low a level, more or less, was 300 million
years ago, and if you go back go back about 500-600 million years ago,
carbon dioxide was 15 times higher than what it is now. So, what I'm
getting at is this, the history shows you that most of this is just plain
nonsensical today."
"And, the amazing thing to people like me... is that
there are people that believe the nonsense they're being fed."
The media are largely to blame for public misconceptions
- not because they're intentionally misleading the public, but because they
"just don't want to go into the time and trouble to find out."
"If they do go into it and look at it for themselves, they become a lot
more neutral in their presentation," he says.
Worst of all, Cunningham says, media are promoting the
"nonsensical" claim that there's scientific consensus accepting the
hypothesis of man-made climate:
"When they're out propagating this so-called 97% of
scientists believe we're controlling the temperature - I mean, that's the
most nonsensical, stupid number in the world - and all they have to do is do a
little research on Google - I'm not going to do it for them - go in there
and take a look and you find out that's a ridiculous statement that people
are making - and even the president makes a statement like that."
"If you have a totally anonymous survey of real
scientists involved in this field, I would almost guarantee you that you going
to have a majority that are not going to agree with the alarmists."
"I can only tell you that, even back in the days
of Apollo, we didn't have to face this kind of nonsense," Cunningham
concludes.
