Green Guru James Lovelock on Climate Change: ‘I don’t think anybody really knows what’s happening. They just guess’ – Lovelock Reverses Himself on Global Warming

Update: Another Prominent Scientist Dissents! Fmr. NASA Scientist Dr. Les Woodcock ‘Laughs’ at Global Warming – ‘Global warming is nonsense’ Top Prof. Declares – Asserts ‘professional misconduct by Government advisors around the world’ ]

Green Guru James Lovelock laments modern green movement: ‘We never intended a fundamentalist Green movement that rejected all energy sources other than renewable’

Green guru and geophysicist James Lovelock, considered one of the pioneering scientists of the 20th century, has officially turned his back on man-made global warming claims and the green movement’s focus on renewable energy. Lovelock conceived the Gaia theory back in the 1970s, describing the Earth’s biosphere as “an active, adaptive control system able to maintain the earth in homeostasis.”

In an April 2, 2014 BBC TV interview, Lovelock has come out swinging at his fellow environmentalists, accusing the new UN IPCC global warming report of plagiarizing his now retracted climate claims from his 2006 book ‘The Revenge of Gaia.’

“The last IPCC report is very similar to the (now retracted) statements I made in my book about 8 years ago, called The Revenge of Gaia. It’s almost as if they’ve copied it,” Lovelock told BBC Newsnight television program on April 3.

BBC interviewer Jeremy Paxman noted to Lovelock during the April 2 program:  “Sure. But you then, after publishing these apocalyptic predictions, you then retracted them.”

The newly skeptical Lovelock responded: “Well, that’s my privilege. You see, I’m an independent scientist. I’m not funded by some government department or commercial body or anything like that. If I make a mistake, then I can go public with it. And you have to, because it is only by making mistakes that you can move ahead.”

Lovelock dismissed the entire basis for global warming concerns in his BBC television interview. “Take this climate matter everybody is thinking about. They all talk, they pass laws, they do things, as if they knew what was happening. I don’t think anybody really knows what’s happening. They just guess. And a whole group of them meet together and encourage each other’s guesses,” Lovelock explained.

A UN Lead Author, Dr. Richard Tol, joined Lovelock this week in slamming the UN and had his name removed from the IPCC report. See: UN IPCC LEAD AUTHOR Dr. Richard Tol rips IPCC: ‘The idea that climate change poses an existential threat to humankind is laughable’

Other reactions to the UN report echoed Tol. See: Pre-Determined ‘Science’: Round Up of New UN IPCC Report: Human Extinction? IPCC at ‘beck and call’ of Govts – UN Officials Predicted Alarming Report Years Ago

Another prominent scientist also dissented this week: Freeman Dyson — the world-renowned mathematical physicist: ‘I have strong views about climate because I think the majority is badly wrong’

Just last week, Lovelock compared believe in man-made climate alarm to “‘religion.” See: Gaia inventor James Lovelock: ‘Environmentalism has become a religion, and religions don’t worry too much about facts’ – March 31, 2014

Back in 2006, Lovelock was a committed man-made global warmnig activist, promoting scary climate scenarios. See: Climate Shocker: Lovelock Predicted Global Warming Doom: ‘Billions of us will die; few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in Arctic where the climate remains tolerable & Gaia scientist Lovelock: ‘I was WRONG and alarmist on climate: a scientist: ‘I swore Earth should be frying by now’ — ‘In 2006 Dr. Lovelock predicted the Earth ‘would catch a morbid fever’ that would destroy six billion people – ‘the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable’

Lovelock has since reversed himself and now serves a vocal critic of the man-made global warming movement. — Flashback April 2012: ‘Gaia’ scientist James Lovelock reverses himself: I was ‘alarmist’ about climate change & so was Gore! ‘The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago’

Lovelock: ‘We haven’t got the physics worked out yet…I think the public are right. That’s why I’m soft on the sceptics. Science has got overblown’ & 2010: Green Guru Lovelock Says Warmists ‘Scared Stiff’: ‘The great climate science centers around the world are more than well aware how weak their science is’

Lovelock has been very critical of the UN IPCC. In 2012, he slammed the UN climate panel as “a mess” and accused it of being “too politicised and too internalized.” See: 2012: Green Guru Lovelock Slams UN IPCC & Greens: ‘Whenever UN puts its finger in it seems to become a mess’ — ‘The green religion is now taking over from the Christian religion’ — James Lovelock: ”IPCC is too politicised & too internalized’ — On Green religion: ‘I don’t think people have noticed that, but it’s got all the sort of terms that religions use. The greens use guilt. You can’t win people round by saying they are guilty for putting CO2 in the air’

Lovelock also spared no criticism of the Climategate scnadal. See: Lovelock on Climategate: Scandal left him feeling ‘utterly disgusted’ — ‘Fudging the data in any way whatsoever is quite literally a sin against the holy ghost of science. I’m not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It’s the one thing you do not ever do. You’ve got to have standards.’

Lovelock has questioned the entire scientific basis for man-made climate change alarm. Climate Depot began reporting on Lovelock’s conversion away from climate fears in 2010 as he began reconsidering the alleged ‘settled science.” See below for Climate Depot’s reporting on the evolution of James Lovelock’s climate views.

Lovelock on climate change science: 

Inquisitr News, 2 April 2014: Influential scientist, inventor, and environmentalist James Lovelock is having some second thoughts about the whole climate change thing. In the context of a doom-and-gloom United Nations climate science report, Lovelock, 94, described the environmental movement as becoming “a religion, and religions don’t worry too much about facts.”

Green Guru James Lovelock says ‘we don’t know what the climate is doing’ and ‘The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet’ — But warmist Michael Mann says ‘frankly I see [Lovelock] largely as just coming back into the fold of mainstream thinking’

Lovelock On science:’Science is going down the drain terribly fast. It keeps dividing itself up into expertises and these expertises probably don’t know much about the others’ — ‘I think in order to be a fully rounded person you have to learn to be a pro at one thing, but then you can become a generalist’ — ‘I think the most outrageous example of climate scientists getting it wrong and not admitting it was the 2007 IPPC report. They happily accepted the Nobel prize, but their sea-level rise estimates, according to that very important Science paper by Rahmstorf, were 100% wrong’

Lovelock on climate models: ‘But they [climate scientists] still don’t put any of the living parts of the planet into the climate models’

Lovelock on Sea Level: ‘He & his wife Sandy downsized & moved to an old lifeguard’s cottage by beach. ‘I’m not worried about sea-level rises,’ he laughs. ‘At worst, I think it will be 2ft a century’

SHOCK: UK Green Guru James Lovelock Reconsiders Warming Views?!: Lovelock: Man-made Carbon Emissions ‘Have Saved Us from A New Ice Age’ — Lovelock: ‘I hate all this business about feeling guilty about what we’re doing. We’re not guilty’ — ‘We haven’t learned the lessons of the ozone-hole debate. It’s important to know just how much you have got to be careful’ — ‘According to Dr Lovelock’s Gaia theory, the earth is capable of curing itself. ‘A planet that is effectively alive can regulate itself and its composition and climate,” he said’

James Lovelock on Ozone hole science: ‘We should have been warned by the CFC/ozone affair because the corruption of science in that was so bad…’ ‘Something like 80% of the measurements being made during that time were either faked, or incompetently done’

Global warming guru admits he was wrong about climate change: ‘He admits that speaking in more reasonable terms ‘would have spoilt the book.’

2010 Shock: Green Guru Lovelock warms to skeptics! ‘The skeptics have kept us sane…They have kept us from regarding climate science as a religion. It had gone too far that way’

Enviro Guru James Lovelock Admits Obvious: ‘Peer-review process can be exceedingly prejudiced and exert censorship even’

Green Guru James Lovelock Admits the Obvious: ‘Everybody might be wrong. Climate change may not happen as fast as we thought, and we may have 1,000 years to sort it out’

MSNBC April 23, 2012: ‘Gaia’ scientist James Lovelock reverses himself: I was ‘alarmist’ about climate change & so was Gore! ‘The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago’ — More MSNBC article excerptsLovelock pointed to Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” and Tim Flannery’s “The Weather Makers” as other examples of “alarmist” forecasts of the future…”The problem is we don’t know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books – mine included – because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn’t happened,” Lovelock said. “The climate is doing its usual tricks. There’s nothing much really happening yet. We were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now,” he said. “The world has not warmed up very much since the millennium. Twelve years is a reasonable time… it (the temperature) has stayed almost constant, whereas it should have been rising — carbon dioxide is rising, no question about that,” he added…Asked if he was now a climate skeptic, Lovelock told msnbc.com: “It depends what you mean by a skeptic. I’m not a denier.” He said human-caused carbon dioxide emissions were driving an increase in the global temperature, but added that the effect of the oceans was not well enough understood and could have a key role. “It (the sea) could make all the difference between a hot age and an ice age,” he said. ‘I made a mistake’ As “an independent and a loner,” he said he did not mind saying “All right, I made a mistake.” He claimed a university or government scientist might fear an admission of a mistake would lead to the loss of funding.”

Even more surprising is the fact that Lovelock is now actively campaining against renewable energy sources such as wind power and is very pro-nuclear  calling them “silly.”

Lovelock on Energy: 

Green Guru James Lovelock laments modern green movement: ‘We never intended a fundamentalist Green movement that rejected all energy sources other than renewable’ – Feb. 2013 — Lovelock: ‘I am an environmentalist & founder member of the Greens but I bow my head in shame at the thought that our original good intentions should have been so misunderstood & misapplied. We never intended…nor did we expect the Greens to cast aside our priceless ecological heritage because of their failure to understand that the needs of the Earth are not separable from human needs’

Green ‘drivel’: The godfather of global warming James Lovelock lowers the boom on climate change hysteria — Lovelock: ‘So-called ‘sustainable development’ … is meaningless drivel … We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant. I personally can’t stand windmills at any price.’

James Lovelock on shale gas and the problem with ‘greens’: ‘Lovelock on “fracking”: Gas is almost a give-away in the US at the moment. They’ve gone for fracking in a big way’ — ‘This is what makes me very cross with the greens for trying to knock it: the amount of CO2 produced by burning gas in a good turbine gives you 60% efficiency. In a coal-fired power station, it is 30% per unit of fuel. So you get a two-to-one gain there straight away’

Green Guru Lovelock: ‘Europe’s massive use of wind as a supplement to baseload electricity will probably be remembered as one of great follies of 21st century’

Lovelock on Nuclear Energy: ‘It’s almost probably pointless to support nuclear now. The opposition to it now is just too powerful. It’s not rational opposition. It’s religious opposition’

Germany’s decision ‘to shut down all its nuclear power plants by 2022 – particularly infuriates Lovelock: Germany has ‘this fatal flaw that they always fall for an ideologue…’‘…and Europe has suffered intensely from the last two episodes of that. It looks to me as if the green ideas they have picked up now could be just as damaging’

Lovelock has ‘hatred of wind power (he has a picture of a wind turbine on the wall of his study to remind him how ‘ugly and useless they are’) — ‘He argues that, while not perfect, it produces far less CO2 than burning coal: ‘Gas is almost a give-away in the US at the moment. They’ve gone for fracking in a big way. Let’s be pragmatic and sensible and get Britain to switch everything to methane. We should be going mad on it’

UK Guardian: ‘Scientist James Lovelock is the man behind Gaia theory, and once predicted doom for our climate’ — Lovelock ‘discusses nuclear (good), wind power (bad) and why fracking is the future Lovelock is relaxed about how this reversal might be perceived. He says being allowed to change your mind and follow the evidence is one of the liberating marvels of being an independent scientist’

James Lovelock: ‘We rushed into renewable energy without any thought. The schemes are largely hopelessly inefficient and unpleasant’ — ‘I personally can’t stand windmills at any price. Hydro, biomass, solar, etc, have all got great promise, but they’re not available tomorrow, or even in 10 years’

The global warming movement continues to lose scientists, many formerly with the UN IPCC.

More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims – Challenge UN IPCC & Gore

Top Swedish Climate Scientist Says Warming Not Noticeable: ‘The warming we have had last a 100 years is so small that if we didn’t have climatologists to measure it we wouldn’t have noticed it at all’ – Award-Winning Dr. Lennart Bengtsson, formerly of UN IPCC: ‘We Are Creating Great Anxiety Without It Being Justified’

‘High Priestess of Global Warming’ No More! Former Warmist Climate Scientist Judith Curry Admits To Being ‘Duped Into Supporting IPCC’ – ‘If the IPCC is dogma, then count me in as a heretic’

German Meteorologist reverses belief in man-made global warming: Now calls idea that CO2 Can Regulate Climate ‘Sheer Absurdity’ — ‘Ten years ago I simply parroted what the IPCC told us’

UN Scientists Who Have Turned on the UN IPCC & Man-Made Climate Fears — A Climate Depot Flashback Report – Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” – UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.

‘Some of the most formidable opponents of climate hysteria include politically liberal physics Nobel laureate, Ivar Giaever; Freeman Dyson; father of the Gaia Hypothesis, James Lovelock — ‘Left-center chemist, Fritz Vahrenholt, one of the fathers of the German environmental movement’

Flashback: Left-wing Env. Scientist Bails Out Of Global Warming Movement: Declares it a ‘corrupt social phenomenon…strictly an imaginary problem of the 1st World middleclass’

Watch Now: Climate Depot’s Morano on Canadian TV with Charles Adler: ‘Warmist James Lovelock recants — Warmist movement cooling — Morano: ‘This is a man, a premier guru of the Left. He joins a long list of people who used to be believers and no longer are…The left is getting the message that global warming is doing them [political] harm’

UK Daily Mail on Lovelock’s climate recant: ‘The admission comes as a devastating blow to proponents of climate change who regard Lovelock as a powerful figurehead’

The global warming campaigner are not happy with Lovelock. See: Warmists’ throwing Lovelock under the bus! Alarmists Now Trying To Disown Their High Priest James Lovelock — Warmist caught trying to have it both ways on Lovelock: ‘The usual attempt to rewrite history.

James Lovelock on BBC Newsnight: ‘I don’t think anybody really knows what’s happening’

[…] James Lovelock: Take this climate matter everybody is thinking about. They all talk, they pass laws, they do things, as if they knew what was happening. I don’t think anybody really knows what’s happening. They just guess. And a whole group of them meet together and encourage each other’s guesses.

Jeremy Paxman: That latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change did suggest that there was something inevitable about climate change, that it had already begun and that we had to adjust to it. All of these things are true, are they not, as far as we know?

James Lovelock: Absolutely, that is true, the last [IPCC] report is very similar to the statements I made in my book about 8 years ago, called The Revenge of Gaia. It’s almost as if they’ve copied it.

Jeremy Paxman: Sure. But you then, after publishing these apocalyptic predictions, you then retracted them.

James Lovelock: Well, that’s my privilege. You see, I’m an independent scientist. I’m not funded by some government department or commercial body or anything like that. If I make a mistake, then I can go public with it. And you have to, because it is only by making mistakes that you can move ahead.

Jeremy Paxman: It follows from that, does it not, that this panel on climate change which has, as you point out, vested interests involved, may be just as likely or even more likely to make mistakes?

James Lovelock: That would be a lot of hubris on my part to say that, but it is possible.

    1. MOST of that wealth will come from OUR pockets too; not from all equally. And, what’s worse is the whole thing is predicated UPON A LIE.

          1. There’s not much we can do when the gullible alarmist president has fallen for it hook line and sinker and has his executive pen at the ready.

            1. he hasn’t “fallen for it”, no, he’s deliberately and calculatedly taken it up as one more tool to bring us down and subject us to the one world government control system promoted by his darling, the United Nations. Yes, I did say deliberate and wilful….. and I’ll add with full knowledge.

        1. What’s really pathetic about all these global warming scammers is that if they hadn’t so damaged the economies of so many countries with their controlfreak manipulative scams, there would have been much more capital available for research into alternative fuels.
          By lying, they put their own cause behind by at least a decade.

      1. We must stop blaming AMERICA or the U.S. in all this evil…because it’s not. The world judeomasonic cabal has corrupted everything and are doing this. They who are doing it are truly, agents of the banker elite’s conspiracy Kennedy called just that. “A MONONLITHIC INTERNATIONAL RUTHLESS CONSPIRACY” Then they murdered him and their agents moved in even deeper if that was possible. The media is their most dangerous weapon. THEY ARE TOTALLY INSANE AND YOU NEED TO STOP SAYING IT’S AMERICA DOING IT. IT’S THE USURPERS GUIDING, FORCING YOU. THE BAILOUT WAS 1000 TO 1 PHONE CALLS AGAINST IT. THEY PUT IN A CLAUSE THE LAST DAY THAT SAID, “YOU CANNOT PROSECUTE US FOR ANY REASON.” Now tell me we’re not enslaved. Cornwallis told Washington that “…..within the next 200 years the Christian teachings will be supplanted by the Jewish teachings. You’ve been programmed by media and Hollywood to call it conspiracy theory, or the chosen ones, or the persecuted ones. Oh brother. Now that we know we’ve been had. Are you going to face it. Research it. Look at Protocols of zion. If you don’t at least read it, you’re a fool. You are a fool. Many many famous people have been ruined for uttering those words. You can’t be this blind folks. You just can’t be. hahahahhhhha

        1. You think it’s easy running the world? And now you caught us! Obviously we are no good at keeping secrets. But we are good at media dominance; except for that pesky internet. Notice how we slipped control of it to Putin (that’s right – seceretly one of the “tribe”.) My advice: read the protocols with a mind to obey your Masters and stop fighting it. You will NEVER win!

          1. ASIA FOR THE ASIANS, AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS, WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYONE!

            If “anti-racists” are so unconcerned with race, how come they only have a
            problem with White Countries, White Cities, White Neighborhoods, White
            Workplaces, White schools?

            I’ve never seen any “anti-racist” complain that any place is too brown and it has to become LESS brown to combat racism.

            Who do they think they are kidding?

            “Multiculturalism” = White GeNOcide

            Anti-Racist is a code for anti-White.

            1. No, it may be among the liberal left but, not among real conservatives. Consider it’s the WHITE DEMOCRATS that push so hard for abortions world-wide (paid for by you and I) so there will be FEWER “colored” folk around the planet. Isn’t working though. Instead of that, we should just populate places like other groups do if it concerns you so much. Don’t’ complain, compete. MAKE THOSE BABIES. And then RAISE THEM and SUPPORT THEM and GET THEM THROUGH COLLEGE. And, to level the “playing field” we’ll get rid of ALL social services and payments.

        2. blaming jewish people for controlling the entire world is only slightly less idiotic than the fact that one or two governments can tax its citizens to stop a global event, caused by a combination of natural processes and sources. The only reason its less idiotic, is jewish people are absolute idiots. They are usually fairly smart. ya know, like Einstein.

            1. If you missed it as a student of American history, it was a handful of rich JEWISH GUYS that pretty much bankrolled the nation through the Revolutionary War and the initial start-up of the nation. There may be Jewish folks that don’t believe in God trying to “control the world” but, there are also idiot people of EVERY race and political persuasion that want to do the same. Take Obama, PLEASE. Or Soros who sent his OWN PEOPLE to the gas chambers in Germany KNOWING they would be killed; to save his own rotten skin. How about Bush and his Illuminati brothers? And don’t forget Bill and Hillary (Hillbilly) Clinton and the murder of Vince Foster in a park in broad daylight in DC (and Whitewater). Let’s not forget Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Junk Whateverhisnameis in North Korea, the warlords of Japan pre-WWII, Napoleon, the Czar of Russia, Andrew Jackson (think Native Americans and the trail of tears), and the list of butchers goes ON AND ON AND ON. Stop focusing on the lies and focus on reality.

              1. Jews bankfolled our nation through the War for Independence? Yeah, and I gots a chicken can fly to the moon and back in a week. Get real….. so the likes of Washington, Madison, Adams, Jefferson were Jews? Malarkey.

        3. Could you idiots PLEASE stop with the paranoid conspiracy theories. Stop blaming Jews, The Vatican Freemasons, or shape shifting lizard men from outer space. It’s OLD.

        1. Well, they at the very least, cause Global Warming to be perpetrated upon the masses. Speaking of Perps, they should Perp-Walk every single one of the IPCC Climatologists into a cell in Iran. There, they can study up on Global Warming in the teachings of Mohammed.

      2. it already started. obamas epa started the carbon tax that’s why gas has shot up almost 20 cents a gallon. all on his own he bypassed congress and broke the law and the constitution!

        1. Need the Senate to actually take the man out of office. However, I think we should start the impeachments NOW and not wait till people “retire” and get a pension. I want them in PRISON.

    2. Quote by Ottmar Edenhoffer, high level UN-IPCC official: “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy…Basically it’s a big mistake to discuss climate policy separately from the major themes of globalization…One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore.”

      Quote by Timoth Wirth, U.S./UN functionary, former elected Democrat Senator: “We’ve got to ride the global-warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.”

      Quote by Kevin Trenberth, a lead author of 2001 and 2007 IPCC report chapters: “None of the models used by the IPCC are initialized to the observed state and none of the climate states in the models correspond even remotely to the current observed state”.

      Quote by Richard Benedik, former U.S./UN bureaucrat: “A global climate treaty must be implemented even if there is no scientific evidence to back the greenhouse effect.”

  1. I tend to agree i am sure we have an affect on our planet but they are playing a game in global warming for power and money and while what they say may have some truth its all part of their money making scheme in the green sector because our technology is not advanced enough to end global pollution so they use it as a front to further their goals. Now should we allow the pollution of the planet? NO because we are not the only inhabitants of this planet. And i mean come on who wants to breathe polluted air….Point is what can we do about it? Nothing Absolutely nothing unless we invent clean long term Sustainable energy. And what are they doing about that? Stealing the money and putting it in their pockets while telling us wind and solar energy are sustainable.

  2. why cant we just cut down on polluting our air because having dirty air is uncomfortable? why does it have to be a “we must save the world” issue….these climate scientists just seem like kids with messiah complex’s that didnt get into medical school

    1. The answer to your question may be as follows. The CAGW movement was adopted when a careless scientist noticed that both global temperatures and CO2 were increasing at the same time. He didn’t bother looking farther to see that CO2 also increased in the prior decades while global temperatures were dropping. Ideologues saw this as a crutch to denigrate the public into adopting their greatest passions – population control, redistribution of wealth, one world government, and social justice. Many admitted that they didn’t care whether CAGW was real or not, their goal was too important. Maurice Strong, IPCC cofounder, state that the goal was to destroy industrialized civilization. The IPCC charter restricted the commission to study ONLY MAN’S effect on global climate.

      1. You are right on the mark. Maurice Strong has long stated the goal was to destroy industrialized civilization, globally. Look at the Deep Green Resistance or Deep Ecology groups. Their ideal is reflected in Glen Beck’s book, Agenda 21. Scary stuff. We must never give in to these Morlocks.

    2. Because this won’t get you government grants to fight global warming. It won’t pay government officials who are paid to give out government grants to fight global warming. It won’t cause people to contribute to campaigns of politicians who want to hire government officials to give out grants to scientists to fight global warming. Do you see the theme emerging…?

    3. Pollution is a BIG problem, and the desecration of the Earth by coal mining, oil exploration, and now fracking just makes me want to cry. But, I’m a big believer that nuclear power, in the medium term, can prevent even more destruction and pollution, and could if need be, by the world wide installation of 700 AP1000 type reactors, suck all the excess CO2 out of the air, or seawater, and convert it to a net zero-emission form of liquid hydrocarbon fuel. It is calculated it would take 100 years to do so with that number of reactors. Then anti-nukes talk about the waste from nuclear energy, but really there is no waste, all by-products are usable, if it weren’t for the irrational fear of all types of radiation.

  3. Lovelock says, “I don’t think anybody really knows what’s happening.”
    Lovelock sounds just as stupid now as he did before.

    Why does he not do a few minutes research? Start with Nicola Scafetta’s “Testing an astronomically based decadal-scale empirical harmonic climate model versus the IPCC (2007) general circulation climate models http://scienceandpublicpolicy.org/images/stories/papers/reprint/astronomical_harmonics.pdf%5D

    Where Scafetta states:
    “The most prominent cycles that can be detected in the global
    surface temperature records have periods of about 9.1 year, 10-11 years, about
    20 year and about 60 years. The 9.1 year cycle appears to be linked to a
    Soli/Lunar tidal cycles, as I also show in the paper, while the other three
    cycles appear to be solar/planetary cycles ultimately related to the orbits of
    Jupiter and Saturn.”

    Graphs of these cycles are at the end of:
    http://www.appinsys.com/globalwarming/SixtyYearCycle.htm
    following a discussion and graphs of several global effects of astronomical cycles.

    Others have also reached the same conclusion years ago and successfully
    forecasted global temperatures years in advance that we have experienced for decades. But they have been ignored.

  4. Professor Lovelock, now would be a good time to install a remote starter on your car and invest in a bomb-squad vehicle undercarriage inspection mirror on a very, VERY long pole.

    1. To believe it’s because of man is to flat out not believe in Dinosaurs. Their species lived during eras of Global Warming. Each and every time Climate Change reversed itself some of the Dinosaur Species became extinct. Then came the ultimate blow, the ice age, and as a whole they ceased to exist. Nowadays alarmists say it’s fossil fuels at the root of “Global Warming”. Reality and history say without preexisting Global Warming there would be no Dinosaurs and in todays world “fossil fuels”.

      To believe Global Warming is man made or induced action is to believe Dinosaurs never existed. Don’t be a “Dinosaur Denier” 😉

      As per NASA, here’s a newsflash, if they want funds they have to stay in tow. They are an arm of the same wing of our government that wants to control as much of our lives as possible. If they were in opposition to “manmade” climate change I’d literately be shocked.

    2. Proof that the warming which earth has experienced has been caused by activity on the sun, NOT man. We all know what happens to stars over time and our sun (star) is no different.

        1. I think not. You see, astronomers have recently discovered identical temperature changes on all planets in our solar system. Man influenced global warming is pure fabrication.

      1. You’re right, of course. Oversimplification is what got us in this mess to begin with.
        But we certainly can’t leave that big ol’ nuclear ball o’ fire out of it entirely, can we?

    1. I don’t think you have that quite right. I have their “scientific” method this way:
      1. Publish conclusions,
      2. Silence critics,
      3. Re-publish conclusions based on random facts (warm AND cold weather are BOTH signs of climate change; more AND less precipitation = climate change)
      4. Suppress inconvenient facts (polar ice caps are growing; global temps have leveled off for twelve years, historical trends)
      5. Re-silence critics (this is where Lovelock will be in trouble)

      1. you forgot “link to some other published conclusion which links to another which links to another which links to sketchy info that someone heard from their great-aunt bessie who once said the summers of her day were 20 below, kelvin.”

    2. A little more clarity….hypothesize, gather data, manipulate data to fit original hypothesis, publish paper, refuse requests for original data, smear skeptics.
      Years later when real data contradicts your hypothesis, change the title from global warming to climate change and then make argument that too much or too little snow, too much or too little rain, too many or too few tornadoes/hurricanes, too many or too few droughts are all caused by man made climate change.

  5. I for one am grateful to the Lovelocks and Gores of the world. There is no denying that there has been some warming and there is no denying that CO2 is increasing in the atmosphere. Alarmists convinced the general population that we are destroying the planet but we could redeem ourselves by being a bit less materialistic. Now no one can dare dispute the “facts” of global warming without being a pariah even if there is a pause in warming and sea levels haven’t risen in accordance with predictions. The President of the United States and the United Nations are pursuing policies that will ultimately cause the developed world to consume less resources and reduce their standard of living. Regardless of how we get there, that is a laudable achievement. And isn’t this kind of achievement a benefit of any good science? Even if it may have been a lie or even if the data is currently being falsified, it is a beautiful lie.

    1. “it is a beautiful lie.” Great. You belong to the “the ends justifies the means” club. And you don’t even realize what’s wrong with that.

    2. There is no denying that there has been some cooling since 2002. A look at any of the six global temperature databases tracing monthly global temperatures since 1850 shows that. Those databases also who that global temperatures varies from cooling to warming in 60 year cycles. We are on schedule with the current 30 year cooling phase. More research shows that global temperatures have been decreasing fro 8,000 years while CO2 has been increasing for 7,200 years as CO2 is released from the ocean.

      Unfortunately people like you are too lazy to do the research to verify your hysterical opinion. As a result nations are spending $1 Billion a day fighting a
      non-existent problem and have spent over $1 trillion so far. YOU are the problem!

  6. I particularly enjoyed the section titled: “The global warming movement continues to lose scientists, many formerly with the UN IPCC.”

    They must be scientists whose grants weren’t renewed and are now willing to speak truth to power. Better late than never, I guess.

    1. Perhaps Lovlock in his advancing age feels guilty about duping gullible people with his
      misguided works and now wants to set the record straight. It must be an awful burden to
      have led so many astray and head to your deathbed knowing your life has been a mistake.
      Thus, his recent book and effort to try to make things right. We only hope that others will
      do justice. Think of all the young school children and teachers they’ve scared into feeling
      guilty. Yes! we can all reduce pollution and energy use as good steward of this world, but
      for the right, not wrong reasons.

  7. “It depends what you mean by a skeptic. I’m
    not a denier.” He said human-caused carbon dioxide emissions were
    driving an increase in the global temperature, but added that the effect
    of the oceans was not well enough understood and could have a key role.
    “It (the sea) could make all the difference between a hot age and an
    ice age,” he said.

    I hope everyone who posts see’s this. It is clear he believes in man made global warming and carbon dioxide emissions. He sees it clearly. He is argueing the degree of change not that change is happenings.

    1. Apparently, he’s lazy. He should research Scafetta’s papers and others who point to the correspondence between celestial mechanics and global temperatures of the inner planets. Global temperature is independent of the amount of atmospheric CO2. There is thousands of years of evidence.
      Compare the graphs of Mauna Loa CO2 and Hilo ocean temperatures. CO2 increases after the ocean warm in September, and decreases after the ocean cools.

      1. You are wrong and mixing two different issues. Activity of the sun does have an effect but not the only issue! CO2 is a green house gas every scientist recognizes it! The degree is the only issue not that CO2 is a green house gas.

        1. CO2 is exhaled by every oxygen breathing animal on the earth. If it`s such a dangerous greenhouse gas, maybe we should be talking about population control!

          1. That is at the core of the argument. Once you get beyond the obvious redistribution of wealth you will find the core of people who believe the earth can only sustain 350 million people.

            That is why you will find the same people with an insatiable love of killing innocent babies, death panels and every economic policy which would drive people towards reducing the number of kids in their family.

          2. I know knowledge is scary but the quote came right from the guy this article is about! His direct quote he is not a denier. Every scientist in the world knows CO2 is a green house gas that is undisputed. By the way I can lock you in a room that is air tight you expel CO2 with every breath how long do you last before you die. You are a dolt.

                1. I don’t put my faith in lying men. I notice you do. Good luck with that. When you tell a lie make it a whopper. Then the masses will eat it up.

                  1. Preach stupid to the dumb. The dumber and crazier the better the mantra of the GOP. Please Mr. Obama go back and change Obama Care we truly need the Deat* Panels. Too many old dumb white man holding our great country back.

            1. You are a typical liberal moron resorting to name calling at every turn without any facts . I`ll match up my academic resume with yours any day. Dolt my ass!

          3. You poor folk. The media and movies have you thinking you’ve got it so good. Amazing what a small population can do once they usurp the controls of gov worldwide. hmmm. The proto’s of zio? Read it you grossly inept Stockholm syndrome arrested sheep. Fear not for I have come in the nick of time to KNIGHT you all dear sheep become ram and the puppies will become SHEEPDOGs. We don’t want trouble we just want the raping of the sheep to stop. The sheepdog will be there when it get’s bad but why push us to that. We know it’s all staged and the media is 100% part. youtube: MYRON FAGAN, CFR IN AMERICA. He was instrumental in the Hollywood 10 guilty verdicts. He was a true American, like Benjamin Freedman who was Baruch’s right hand man. His father delivered him. He was at the Treaty of Versailles. He knew 5 Presidents by first name and they jumped when he spoke. Benjamin Freedman speech at the Willard Hotel. You will see it all clearly after the 2, 2.5 hr speeches. Both free on youtube: THESE ARE THE TWO SPEECHES THAT CLEAR IT ALL UP. I CHALLENGE YOU FOR OUR CHILDRENS SAKE. OUR MILITARY SAYS 22 BOYS A DAY ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE? My son was also lost to this evil cabal. My baby boy that I loved dearly and still do. I cry for these parents. 22 more will be notified tomorrow, then the next day….They have terror propaganda pumping in every crack and corner. THIS IS BY DESIGN AND I HAVE ALL THE EVIDENCE IN THE WORLD. ALL I NEED IS THE RIGHT TIME AND A MICROPHONE. THAT’S THE TRICK. MICHAEL MOORE AND THE TRIBE CAN JUMP IN ANYTIME TO PUT OUT A PROPAGANDA MOVIE AND YOU GUYS THINK HE’S HELPING YOU. PEOPLE. SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE WARNED US. ANYWAY, Please give the next 22 suicide victims and their parents the respect to at least read the proto’s of zio. Listen to these speeches on youtube: THE MORGENTHAU PLAN. Just to get a taste of the unbridled evil that went on but the NYT writers of the day got Pulitzer prize for keeping the lid on HOLODOMOR. 12 million starved on purpose while Stalins boys and girls and the international bankers were selling their grain on the world market as if it was surplus. They even got caught lying n newsreels in our hometowns pumping up war lying about what Germany was doing and saying. They did the same in the media in Germany, they did the same thing. Per Speech in 54 by Rabinovich. HOLODOMOR happened in 32-33 timeframe. Stalins real name was Djugashvilli, which means son of jews. Not the jews of the bible, but the Talmudic ones….the ones the bankers set up through secret societies and the CFR. Read, GERMANY MUST PERISH. Germany said no to borrowing from the house of Rothschild and Warburg after 33. Then they had World Jewry officially Declare War on Germany, Google it. Folks. Our history is one lie after another. We can do better. Hey, judeomasonic agents of the bankers, whether you know it or not, hahahhaha, I don’t even want one day of jail time if you bastards would just start following your own heart and mind and see what you are doing, truly, to your own folks. For what? A place to drink and read propaganda while your worshipful master keeps his boss keyed in on any bodies business that they could make THEIRS. They use the secret societies to lure in people who are hypnotic. That means they, deep inside, go ape over trinkets and long name badges at dinners. The fat 3rd graders are now bullying on the 1st graders while the teacher is out for a time. The sheep will be protected before it gets too much worse. 90 million male America sheepdogs who’ve only asked for fairness. You didn’t produced and scammed us every inch of the way and are stepping up the pace so it seems. hahahahah The Sheepdog I know aren’t one bit afraid of the wolf who’s gone 100% unimpeded while manhandling our sheep and young pups and little lamb. To all the adepts…”THE SHEEPDOG WILL MAKE HISTORY THAT WILL ICE OVER THE FOUNDATIONS OF HELL! YOU DO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE SHEEPDOGS GET HOLD OF THE WOLVES NOW DON’T YOU MR…..WOLF? …..NOW DON’T YOU? HHHAHHAHA You will you low life. My son is gone because of your criminal mafia that is milking the trusting day and night and trying to box us all in as terrorists. Your plan is shabby. Sheepdogs of the world unite. Hey Adepts. DON’T THINK THESE ARE EMPTY WORDS. Stop this abuse and get out, or stop it and repent of your robbing of our tax base with your lobbiest making up projects that funnel the money for 1200 dollar hammers through tribal brother in law deals. Just because they change their names doesn’t mean you can’t find them out. I have a technique that is very fruitful. hhahah I know you think we’re weak. I’m here to say you’re wrong. This is not about factions and made up conflict by their media. Order out of Chaos is their mantra. It’s on their tattoos and jackets. The facebook owner is requesting from the whitehouse and congress MORE LABOR IMMIGRATION BROUGHT IN. THE HEAD OF CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE TRIBES COMMERCE PROVEN BY THIS HEADLINE, SAYS, “WE NEED MORE SKILLED LABOR IN AMERICA NOW, WE DON’T HAVE THE TALENT TO FILL THE POSITIONS AND WE ALSO NEED UNSKILLED LABOR THAT AMERICANS WON’T DO.” They have simply moved their companies to China and now they get 2 dollar a barrel fuel from Iraq, for their companies that belch out the pollution and don’t have to abide by anything. hahahah It’s the judeomasonics moving their companies, it’s not China doing miracles like the media constantly harps. This is so easy to see if you’ll take my advice and research what I’ve very humbly requested. My son was played being told he’s definitely doing 10 years for dui that they refused to breathalyzer or test. He made a stink because it was New Years eve and only 6 in the evening and hadn’t even drank a beer. His ex girlfriend’s dad didn’t like him and was in the order. Big D didn’t like clingers and liars I guess. They’re raised to believe that they’re NON gentiles if you’re a certain degree. I’m not kidding you. Mormons are same way. Calvinist high order does too. John Calvin was really Cauin, French Pronounced Cohen. It’s such a deep long conspiracy but I believe I have a seamless conspiracy theory myself. Wanna’ hear it? Got about 10000 years to listen. That’s how long it would take to tell you all I know about the details of it. Read the short book that’s on audio read on Google, The Nameless War. I love America. I love the jews and masons. I just can’t stand their leaderships agenda that is clear. Please think about all this bologna. I knew I was in a crazy world when my teacher didn’t know how vaccines worked then the one who was smart told us it was putting poison in your body so it will……..get used to it? hahahahah That goes against science in any way. This is nuts. hahahah When I was a boy, 1 in 26000 were autistic and now it’s 1 in 60. Wow. Directly proportionate with vaccine of children in the exact areas it was heavier, the autism was heavier. THEY ARE DOING A NUMBER ON US GUYS. GMO foods, all mammals tested were sterile in 3rd and 4th generations. The 1st and 2nd the children were slower and antisocial behavior. They are creating a new modern “man” alright. A dumb animal to justify what they call us around themselves. Dumb cattle. These people aren’t magic like you’ve been taught in the new age. The new age magazine changed their name because of inquiry, it’s now changed back to THE SCOTTISH RITE MAGAZINE. Google this shocker……: Rabbi says Freemasonry is 100% jewish. The protocols Henry Ford said all should read just to make their own decision if it is the bankers plans or not. You should do that. It only takes an hour or so. Stalin made it a death penalty to read it. hahhahaha Why on earth would you kill someone for reading a book about an agenda to take over the world through lies, violence and corrupt media and control of governments and militaries by bribery, force and using Freemasonry as their…..nursery to pick the winners and losers. The even talk about thanking the American Freemasons for building their families own jails. Folks. We can make them stop it by simply reading this book and understanding it. Just read the names of the chapters. It’s so exact it will make you laugh more than anything and then you realize by research that countries courts have found it to be authentic, not a fraud. The conspirators won’t say it’s a fraud, they call it a forgery. hahahhaha See what I mean. They are good but not half as good as they think they are. They’ve painted themselves into a corner thanks to the internet. That’s why they’re lying and saying, “hope Russia doesn’t get control of the internet”. hahahah That’s the msm who works behind the curtain with all countries with central bankers. 195 countries in world and only 3 don’t have forced bankers usury and enslavement. Syria, Iran and Cuba. I’m not positive that they aren’t just puppets to help ignite their last war they call it to usher in their one world luciferian gov. Pikes words. His real name was Chase though, not Pike. I told you they lie about it all. Do not think it’s the jews. It’s only the bankers agenda jews. The fake jews, the synagogue of satan. Look around you. Every nation is in debt…….to them? All you see them do is do tv show after tv show. Danny Partridge the criminal thug still gets shows. See, he made a deal to be loyal like they all have done or no celebrity, chosen one status. any more. It’s all staged and if they’re not helping fool you then you are cut….”YOU’LL NEVER WOIK IN THIS TOWN AGAIN!” SAID THE FLESH PEDDLING LIAR. America will be war colony of the judeomasonic banker just like Cornwallis told Washington it would be. But in this last ones the only jobs will be to help the satanics just to get food to eat, it will sterilize you though, or you will be destroyed as they’ve done in Russia, Germany. The bankers still have our troops in Germany, Japan, S. Korea, Nam, basically everywhere that we had to lie with media, force a war, to help them. hahahahah Then install a bank, then start vaccinating. hahahah youtube: THE MORGENTHAU PLAN, GERMANY MUST PERISH. See what they said they were doing……see if they have done just that. After you see about this…believe me, you. You will go back to see what else I’ve told you in truth. It’s all from their own bragging mouths. Tired of the tv liars gatekeeping while we’re being robbed and calling you a conspiracy theorist for understanding that 1/8 thin skin alum sheets rolled into a tube will not slice through 14″ box columns like a cartoon cookie cutter. There was no hologram, it was just not live like they said. Only live shot they tried to pull of they botched. It’s why I found out. youtube: 911 Nose out. THEN THEY FADED TO BLACK FOR 14 FRAMES GIVE OR TAKE. THEY SAID IT WENT TO BLACK BECAUSE DURING EXPLOSION IT OVEREXPOSES THE CAMERAS TO SEE THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF IT? HAHAHAHAH GO SEE FOR YOURSELF.

        2. Addressing your points. CO2 is a GHG. But while it has been increasing since 1880 global temperature decreased from 1880 to 1910 and from 1940 to 1980 as can be seen in the link I gave. These temperature changes correspond to celestial mechanics, not CO2 concentration.

          The topic of degree of affect was addressed years ago.
          The extent to which CO2 affects global temperature is known as Global Warming Potential (GWP). This can be computed from a formula used by the IPCC and the DoE. The GWPs of the major GHGs are water vapor – 95%, man-made CO2 – 0.117% and man-made methane – 0.066%. Of an IPCC projected 4C increase in global temperature by the year 2100, man-made CO2 will contribute 0.0468 C and man-made Methane will contribute 0.00264. Nations have spent $1 Trillion so far to reduce CO2 by 30%. They are now spending $1 Billion a day so that man will not contribute 0.002196 C to Earth’s temperature by the year 2100. Are you in favor of this waste of money?

          1. You are incorrect with many items! The effects of CO2 are cumulative! Once in the upper atmosphere they stay for an estimated 100 years. Of course there were not effects in the earliest years. The levels much reach a critical state before they act as a heat trapping barrier. We are entering that state now and we have seen higher temperatures. Because it is cumulative the percentage contribution of both CO2 and Methane are growing at an exponential rate with the development in India and China. You are quote best case numbers not worse case. It will be somewhere in between. Last 1 trillion was not spent for global warming. Most of it was spend to clean up the smoke stack emissions from energy industry for air quality issues not Global warming.

    2. No real scientist dismisses the fact that CO2 levels are increasing, and that they will lead to some warming, it’s all about what the climate sensitivity to that CO2 is.
      Everyone agrees, both skeptics, and alarmists, that a doubling of the CO2 from it’s preindustrial levels will directly trap enough radiation to increase the temperature about 1 degree. That is simple math. The difference of opinion between the two groups is what happens AFTER that 1 degree increase. Alarmists believe that that 1 degree increase will lead to a positive feedback in the climate where more, and more water vapor (another green house gas) will be pumped into the atmosphere, and the temperature will climb up to 6 degrees. Most skeptics believe that that one degree increase in temperature resulting from a doubling of CO2 will lead to a slight negative feedback, and will end up with an overall warming of 0.6 degrees.
      Why the difference? Alarmists have based their models on the belief that nearly all of the warming that occured in the 80’s and 90’s was the result of increasing CO2 levels. They believe that nothing else could have caused the warming. But the problem with that is that CO2 levels have continued to rise, and we have had no additional warming in the last 15+ years. Skeptics believe that only a small amount of the warming that took place in the 80’s and 90’s was because of CO2, and the vast majority was from natural cycles that we currently are not familiar with. That is what he was talking about when he was talking about the effect of the oceans.
      Besides the oceans, there is the effect of the Sun that is also ignored by the warmists. It’s becoming clear that there Sun plays a much larger role in the climate than it is given credit for by the alarmists. If you go back to last summer, those who believe in CO2 based climate change were once again calling for a mild winter, but the almanac was calling for a VERY brutal winter. Why? The almanc uses sunspots as one of the main factors in it’s calculations. People have been watching the Sun for sunspots for hundreds of years. Why? Because they realized that the number of sunspots was a direct harbinger of future harvests. It’s now becoming clearer that galactic cosmic rays play a major role in cloud formation, and the Earth’s albedo. When there are more sunspots, that indicates greater solar magnetic activity, and a larger Heliosphere. A larger Heliospere, means fewer galactic cosmic rays reach the Earth, and therefore there are less clouds, and a smaller albedo. Smaller albedo means more warming.
      Increased CO2 will have an effect on climate, both alarmists, and skeptics agree with that, wether it’s harmless (or even benificial with increased crop production), or dangerous, that is where the difference of opinion comes in.

      1. You have one problem the alarmist say 6 degrees, the skeptics say less than one degree. Both are worst or best case scenarios. It is very unusual that either min or max is correct and it will fall somewhere in the middle. What would 3 degrees mean. The almanac is not based on science and your interpretation is not correct. The weather in the US alone does not predict or even represent the total temperature. The weather was only brutal in certain sections of the US other areas were milder than usual. I like that you at least want to look at the data. The problem I have with skeptics is the assertion that they just made it up to make money. CO2 will effect the temperature. Anyone that refuses to see this is putting their head in the sand. Nobody can assert that dumping CO2 into the atmosphere is a good thing. If we have the ability to change the way we do things we should!

          1. Do you ever wonder why the only place in the world this is even disputed is the GOP. No place else in the world!!! The only one that is being scammed is the GOP voters speaking stupid to the dumb

  8. I’m glad this guy has finally come forward with the truth. However, the damage has already been done and no one can turn back the hands on this one.

  9. The Climate Changists routinely use the term “Deniers” which in the past was used mainly by the Church to describe blasphemers.

    1. Liberalism takes on the characteristics of a religion in many different ways, some of which would embarrass liberals like nothing else if only they would or could analyze their ideology objectively.

  10. Al Gore, in 2007 said that by 2013 the entire Artic ice cap would be gone.
    In September 2013, it was the largest it has been in 35 years! 35 YEARS!

    1. Meanwhile Dingy Harry Reid says stupid things that he later denies he said. If leftists didn’t have double standards, they’d have no standards at all.

  11. In order to stroke the egos and line the pockets of those engaged in “guesswork,” we’re all supposed to fork over massive amounts in new taxes and adopt a Third World lifestyle? Pardon me if I opt out.

    1. And of course, in order to save the planet, no one can be allowed to opt out. Never mind our Lords and Masters who will require private jets and limo’s the size of mobile homes to travel from one meeting to another to keep the planet safe.

  12. Hes so right about Greens being a religion, and his point on fracking is a perfect example. You could offer to close two coal plants and replace it with one natural gas plant and the zealotry of the Church of Gia would seek to prevent it even though the new system would produce less pollution.

    To Church of Gia, like that of Islam you’re either one of them or an infidel, there is no in between or compromise, there is only zealotry and obedience.

    1. To Church of Gia, like that of Islam you’re either one of them or an infidel

      I’m not sure what the point is of bring Islam into a discussion of climate, but since you have, I’ll agree, Islam is a frightening religion, full of fanatics. In this respect, it is, of course, a bunch of mere pikers compared to the “Christian” religion, which has managed to spawn a mob of nuclear armed war-mongers who run around the world murdering people while pretending to revere Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Now THAT’s scary!

      By the way, it’s “Gaia”, not “Gia”.

  13. The Climate Change/Global Warming movement is political not scientific. The idea was hijacked as a vehicle for social change with fear as the motivation.

  14. Well, another scientist and one of the green’s own, is stating his error on global warming. He should be applauded as he seems to be an actual scientist who will admit a mistake. It is unimaginable that so many people, including governments, are hell bent on destroying mankind for the sake of a lie. It is no less than a cult on the global scale, and has utterly destroyed the American middle class. I wish that one would come up with the figures on job losses due to environmental fallacies.

  15. Have you ever read the UN’s Earth Charter? Its producers were Mikhail Gorbachev, Maurice Strong and Steven Rockefeller. Each of them is a member of the Club of Rome which advocates reducing the world population. The Earth charter was written to put Earth before Man and, as the producers proudly said, to replace the Ten Commandments. What more evidence do we need that Environmentalism, as promoted by the UN and its hangers-about is a religion?

  16. As he said, he can afford to be a skeptic because he’s independently funded. Therein lies the story. There would be a lot more like him if they wouldn’t lose their funding or their jobs.

  17. congratulations for your article making the Drudge Report! by saying “I don’t think anybody knows what is going on” Dr. StrangeLove-lock is using an age old technique of desperation when the facts invalidate your published conclusions. Admitting he is wrong so must everyone be.

    1. lovelock has realized that someone HAS to admit that the warmers are clueless …………. cuz he now knows that THEY will never admit to their fraud and ARE in fact doubling down and ramping up on the demonizing of any who dare to voice contrary opinion

      lovelock has learned that there must be SOME reason from the warmers for them to EVER be taken seriously by the masses ……….. and not just by their flock of sheep and fellow grantmoney grabbers

  18. I recently almost got into a fight with my physician. I told her I’ve been going to the same beach in Maine for 60 years and the sea level hadn’t changed and the water was as cold or even colder than 60 years ago. She looked at me as if I must have been some kind of idiot!

    1. don’t think its real smart to be giving obamacare doctors any REAL info on yourself ………… i.e., you have a brain and are NOT on board with the bozobots and their warming fraud OR their gun grabs

  19. I have said it before and I will say it again the climate change crowd will be more damage to the environment in the long run because of their chicken little approach to the climate instead of just putting the focus on being clean

  20. Global Warming fanatics knew their science was doomed, which is why they’ve attempted to change their mantra to “Climate Change”. That way they can always be “right”.

  21. Of course they make it up. They have to. The earth is not getting warmer. By the way what does “climate change” mean anyway? I’ve been here almost 60 years, and it’s been changing all my life. As for as I can tell it’s been
    changing for at least 10,000 years.

  22. To think that man can adversely affect the Earth long term is arrogant
    folly. With a couple of large volcanic burps the Earth could rid itself
    of us and most land life and go on like we never existed.

  23. Just a few months ago it was in the low 30’s and at times lower. But today the temperature is rising! we hit 55 deg F today. What the hell is going on?! Al gore please help us !!

  24. .

    FACT: Global warming STOPPED 17+ years ago!

    FACT: CO2 has steadily increased, leading to a measurable GREENING of the planet

    FACT: There is NO scientific evidence showing ANY global harm from the rise in CO2

    THEREFORE: CO2 is ‘harmless’. It is also beneficial to the biosphere. More is better.

    The ‘carbon’ alarmists started out with a wrong premise, therefore they have arrived at a wrong conclusion. They believe that a rise in the tiny trace gas CO2 will cause runaway global warming and climate catastrophe. But it has not. Global temperatures are now at the same level that they were at in 1997. If CO2 has any effect on temperature, it is far too small to measure.

    The only honest scientist is a skeptic. If there had been a long-term correlation between the rise in CO2 and global temperature, skeptics would accept that. But the alarmist crowd is different. Alarmists are motivated by religious belief. That is why they make easy pickins’ for the witch doctors at the UN.

    The “carbon” scare has run it’s course. That is because it was a false alarm.

    .

  25. Only an IDIOT would have believed that scientists could predict the weather 50-100 years in the future, when they can’t even get it right on the weekly forecast half the time.

    Only a SCUMSUCKING LIBTARD MORON would believe in Global warming/cooling/climate change after reading the EAST ANGLIA EMAILS where the leading climate scientists in the WORLD were caught LYING, CHEATING, HIDING INFORMATION FROM F.O.I REQUESTS AND BLACK MAILING PEER REVIEW PUBLICATIONS INTO NOT REVIEWING THE DATA OF THEIR OPPONENTS.

  26. Lovelock is a white skin privileged bigot and has not been taken seriously in the scientific community for several years especially since he has been promoting nuclear power as the only way to save the planet. He is probably a koch brothers plant and you fox news pieces of garbage just lap it right up.

    1. Congrats for being the one libtard here not only capable of regurgitating the same tired old cr@p from the dumbascrap playbook, but for also demonstrating liberal idiocy.

      You get the Booby prize.

    2. i just looked up richard in the street lingo dictionary: a richard is a unit of human excrement equal in weight to one kilo. suggested usage: wow, what a great dump– must have been at least a richard.

    3. “Lovelock is a white…
      privileged….
      bigot….
      probably a koch brothers plant…,
      you..pieces of garbage…”

      Richard, you sound like a very fair, reasoned, thoughtful, deep critical thinker, clearly able to question the logic of your peers or the IPCC or other establishment view, and make a reasoned case for global warming. Well spoken.

    4. Poor soul, suffering from a bad case of KDS (Koch derangement syndrome). Tell the attendant who is posting for you (since you’re in a straight jacket) that it’s time for your meds, to walk you back to your cell, and take a good nap.

  27. These are the same alarmists who were screaming about the population bomb, silent spring, etc. All to keep the masses in a state of hysteria to be dependent on the all-knowing central planners for their survival. Follow the money: it’s all an elaborate con game designed to part fools from their money.

    1. I was required to read Silent Spring in high school. It was an inspiring book for all of us fortunate enough to be born in privilege, we felt so good about our deep compassion and concern. Unfortunately, embracing the principals of the book resulted in death sentences for countless third world people killed by mosquito borne disease. Political Correctness kills!

      1. You are so right. DDT was a saviour for the Third World malaria problems; now with it being banned, millions are consigned to death and sickness. Instead of these celebrities fussing over mosquito nets, they should be demanding the reintroduction of DDT.

        1. I work in West Africa. They have these silly TV commercials for nets when a gallon of DDT would save so many lives. It is really sad to see these the population consign their own children to disease and death while the 1st world cheers in the name of Political Correctness.

          1. I know what you mean. Although I’ve been retired for awhile, I worked for the UN in Geneva and the UNFAO in Rome. I say it’s beyond sad and borders on criminality. These fools will have a lot to answer for on the other side.

  28. Alchemy, drapetomania and phrenology were all once thought to be legitimate scientific principles, like global warming is thought (by some) now. Here’s hoping that it joins the other three on the trash heap of junk-science history!

  29. Between this and yesterday’s story about how the “newest” computer models can finally replicate PAST MEASURED temperatures within a 62% accuracy, with the admission that all prior models had the same accuracy as “chance”, it goes to show how the entire AGW argument has been based on nothing but lies and guesswork. So much for “settled science”…

    These “scientists” used their old computer models to produce all of the climate forecasts displayed in the IPCC reports. ALL of these forecasts were as accurate as rolling a pair of dice.

    Climate Change is nothing but a TOTAL SCAM.

    1. You have limited wisdom. If there is a 51/49 percent chance I certainly will listen to them and place my bet. I bet the lottery every week. Make no mistake, after spending thousands of Dollars one day I will win! (It doesn’t matter if it is $1,000 only). Our politicians are just compulsive gamblers with nothing to loose, except what’s not theirs, your money!

  30. Although the facts around CO2 and other pollutants do alarm me, I don’t see how civilization can realistically make drastic cuts. We are going to have to ride it out and let nature take it’s course.

  31. The key point here is that Lovelock is a scientist able to maintain his intellectual independence and practice of the scientific method. Most of these “environmentalists” are some sort of lobbyists or or politicians, typically with political science degrees or some similar connection. It is the most bitter irony that they are stuck to their status quo precisely as they accuse their opponents of doing — like coal proponents being unable to change their minds because coal and its resultant bad effects are what they make a living off of. So the environmentalists can’t change their minds because it’s their livelihood on the line, so they continue with their BS because it’s too late to go back.

    1. This is how you know it’s a religion and not science- Science alters it’s beliefs based upon the facts, religion alters the facts based upon it’s beliefs. Ergo, Global Warming is religion.

  32. We are a nation of laws! The democratic process was followed and the votes are in: There is overwhelming consensus that climate exists. To emphasize the gravity of the risk that humanity will be extinct the funding for climate research has to be quadrupled!

    I will have many sleepless nights should the climate continue to do what it has been doing for eons. But I have not lost hope. I believe in and trust the only power that can save us: The omnipotent power of the elite that has our best interest at hart only!

    Please, send your donation to Congress so we can “sustain” the progress and continue to “move forward” in lock step. We have to harness the power of the masses to succeed.

  33. Give it up LOONatics… It’s over… LOL

    “Climate Change” is the term used after fake scientists are caught lying about “Global Warming!”

  34. Thank you, sir for coming forward and speaking up about this! I’ve been believing the green-thing IS a religion. You’re correct that none of the horrific expectations have as yet materialized.
    As of today the gas prices here in So. California are $4.50 a gallon! That’s insanity, as we sit on one of the largest oil fields on the planet, buying oil from countries that hate us??? And if you do look at the “footprint”of the U.S.A. compared to the rest of the planet, even if ever man, woman & child went 100% green, it wouldn’t matter because the rest of the countries are doing their own thing. No, I think the whole “green” thing is a religion. Just follow the money trail to find the people who are in charge of this scam. Funny how they have the big-gas sucking vehicles, private planes, and no windmills on THEIR property. But they ARE rolling in all that “green” money. THAT’S GREEN ENERGY- OUR ENERGY, PUTTING “GREEN” IN THEIR POCKETS!

  35. The Navier Stokes equations describe fluid flow with changes in temperature and density. They are nonlinear, chaotic, with sensitive dependence on initial conditions. That means no finite set of data on past states is sufficient to predict a distant future state. If anyone attempts to predict distant future states using a finite set of past data, they are either incompetent or a fraud. This has been known since the 1963 paper “Deterministic Nonperiodic Flow” by Edward Lorenz. Perhaps you have heard of the Lorenz Butterfly?

  36. Just proves that Climate Change is a religion and now one of its faithful has turned from the path to seek the truth. The truth is, there is no scientific research that has been carefully documented over a long period of time that conclusively proves that man is the cause of the changes in climate and not just normal Mother Nature changes.

  37. Kudos James! Although, I think you’re about to know how Nicolaus Copernicus felt all those centuries ago, except this time it’s the Church of Liberalism instead of the Vatican…

  38. Some aren’t even hiding what they’re intention is.

    IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer admitted in November 2010,
    “…one has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate
    policy is environmental policy. Instead, climate change policy is about
    how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth…”

  39. Folks,global warming is a myth created by governments to create a tax.to take money from you.it is a fabrication.think about it.why does there have to be a tax? It’s a scam to rob you of your hard earned money,to be used to fill the pockets of crooked politicians and dictators.its nothing more than a way to legally launder money.

  40. What do you expect from lovelock he is white and white people have no problem lying for a buck. lovelock has koch on his lip. How about you fox news worshippers who know nothing about science go fellate him.

  41. What a windfall the global warming scare has been for insurance companies. They have raised premiums with the backing of “science” while not incurring any greater risk of payouts.

  42. What a huge expensive pile of nonsense we have endured for the past 30 years. Some of the so called “scientists” have to be held accountable for wasting so much international treasure that could have been used to feed the poor and improve medical care for millions of people. The UN should be disbanded as an enormous wasteful mistake. So many climate criminals have lived high on the hog with public money. They should be jailed. Our government should be ashamed and resign. Universities that have pushed these lies should be penalized. All the media types that have pushed this folly should be fired. What an awful sad mess.

  43. There seems to be a simple solution to this problem. Since the globe has a fever Obamacare should be able to fix that. Has our globe missed the dead line to sign up? Does that matter? Not at all. We sick the IRS after it, period!

  44. Great story! It make me smile to know that at least some Liberals can actually use reason. This guy sounds pretty spot on when it comes to powering the next few centuries. We should be promoting his work.
    I cant wait to see the look on the hippies faces, when they figure out they’ve been lied to for so long. Hopefully they’ll burn the Marixist castle down for us.

  45. Soooo the same government that loves war and destruction, that doesn’t care about GMO’s, really cares sooo much about the earth….. RIGHT… When are people going to wake the hell up??!?!?! It’s insulting to our intelligence that we’re being force fed this CRAP

  46. If I have a choice, I’ll take global warming over global cooling any day- ask the teeth chattering northern half of the United Siberian states of America which they’d prefer- I’d bet a super-majority are praying for some global warming right now. Is the Earth warming or cooling? I don’t know and neither does anyone else, especially the ‘scientists’ who have traded reason for a politicians bribe.
    The real fear should be these nincompoop scientists being given government permission to implement one of their idiotic ideas and causing a irreversible, cascading global weather meltdown that no one can stop.

  47. Wow!! I’m shocked. All that I believed in for my whole life is a bunch of lies??????
    He he he………..what a bunch of lemmings live in our exceptional country. The follow the leader, whoever it may be, and the pack of lies he or she blows out the you know what.. Yet they scoff at the facts and the things people have believed in for centuries. They all think they are so smart and have all the answers.

  48. Fact is, the United States is cleaner than ever. These kooks need to admit it is more tax collection, more government control, and more social engineering /outcome based leftist crap. I grew up long ago, and believe me, it was way dirtier. Way more carbon. The fact is also that we have had the coldest winter in about a 100 years.
    But the left will continue with: Gay/homosexuality, global warming, racism, income equality, and the destruction of Christianity. It is all they are about.

  49. Good God Almighty! Al Gore may have to find a real job. The Environmentalist may have to do something beside protest. George Soros may have to find something else to destroy besides the United States. The real crazies may have to leave their parents basements. This will throw the Democratic Party into a tizzy, Leftist all over the world may be forced to stop worshiping at the altar of Extreme Environmentalism, Oh the Humanity!

  50. When Al Bore ends up profiting by selling energy credits, which allow polluters to buy permission to pollute, something stinks, most likely Al. Then, when you follow the money, the whole rotten thing stinks, and they’re out to ruin anyone who disagrees.

  51. The people making money are the same people spreading apocalyptic fear about the effects of increased global warming. As with anything, you just need to follow the money trail. It leads straight into the arms of the most corrupt, all looking out for you (and your money).

  52. In 50 years when there is plenty of polar ice for the abundant polar bears to run on there will be quite a few loony liberals that will look quite silly.

  53. Interesting to note that the big money necessary to fund all these “Global Warming Scare Conventions,” all over the world is coming from US Wall Street Bankers. Who are selling Carbon Credits.
    Follow the money bribers and bribe takers to where they are leading the world with their own importance and cash receipts. It’s all Liars Poker, where the taxpayers are the big losers.

  54. you came back from the dark side. the guy who actually got this started in the 60’s at harvard with al gore as a student changed his mind also in the 70’s. instead of calling him a traitor gore ranted about his senility! as more and more come over to the light of reason. the more they will demonize you. this is not science anymore it’s a political grab for wealth to be distributed to the dirt holes of the world!

  55. Poor James.
    Y’all realize that the “greens” and the progs (one and the same, I know) will start saying the good doctor has become old and confused.
    Yep, he be experiencing the ravages of Alzheimer’s or something.
    You don’t go off the prog reservation without suffering consequences.
    Ever!

  56. In June of 1947, a UFO, which many believe carried weird space aliens with crazy designs on our planet, crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico.

    Nine months later, in March of 1948, Al Gore was born.

  57. One observation I have made about life and people, is that in the absence of “RULES”, people will fill the vacuum with their opinions. Such is Global Warming.

  58. I am heartened to see a scientist that is still looking for the truth… instead of bending over backwards for funding. It’s always good to see that someone can admit his mistake, instead of trying to hide it.

  59. We need to put an emissions tax on any intestinal flatulence
    based on the decibel level of the escaping gasses! Monitoring stations could be
    created that would contain high amp microphones that would pinpoint any abrupt
    animal discharges of methane gas. NSA could oversee the technical operations
    and Homeland Defense could then arrest the miscreants and round up the animals.
    Studies have shown that most of the methane flatulence comes from Washington
    DC! We need to tax the government first until they cannot print anymore money
    and then every living thing that breaks wind.

  60. Those who are knowledgeably advancing this scam should be sentenced to “life in front of a firing squad”. That includes AlGore, the “scientists” living off the government teat and the industrialists (GE) that are trying to profit off it.

  61. It’s strictly a shakedown. These corrupt politicians only know one thing..how to stick their greedy hands inside hard working people’s pockets. Notice they don’t pressure .India. . CHINA OR Russia to comply with their phony claims. They know that it will do them no good. But they love the defenseless taxpayer who doesn’t have a choice but to comply with their crap. If global warming happens? ? There’s nothing we can do.. Nothing!! Bankrupting the world is absurd!!

  62. So what would these crooked global warming nuts do to stop the earth from heating up??

    They would have to spend billions upon billions of dollars I suppose, to put an umbrella over the real problem…The Sun!!

  63. I think climate Guru is a more apt term for them than climate scientist. It seems to be a religion with them of belief rather than facts. Their followers have faith in them and flock to & bow down at the alter of environment/ecology. Skeptics are treated as heretics and outcasts.

  64. The average 80 year old geologist new more about climate change 10 years ago than Lovelock ever did, but nobody listened. The sceptics have beaten the snot out of the fear mongers from day one, but nobody wanted to listen. We’re down to Obama and Kerry campaigning on it in 2014 because they have nothing else left.

  65. Someone please inform the President and the leadership of the democrat party . Time is short and the green bus will drive the economy off the cliff.

  66. The ones pushing this hooey is the globalist bankers. They are getting ready to pitch one of their periodic wealth harvests, and they figure this is a useful swindle. They are also fomenting war (cold or hot – either one works for them) with Russia, and also have the middle east situation suitably unstable.
    Follow the money and notice the affiliations between university researchers and rich “philanthropists”.
    They are merely paying for a ruse.
    Expect tough economic times to continue while they steal our equity.

  67. Global warmists are loons! They are blinded by ideology, uncaring about the truth and completely intolerant of those who do not believe…far worse than a religion.

    1. These guys…

      http://www.burfordcapital.com/

      Raise investment capital with which they use to find and hire a Legio of lawyers to go after “targets” with deep pockets. It seems as if it should be illegal to me, it is without a doubt immoral, BUT… I would LOOOOooooove…. to see them latch on to these schemers and take away everything they’ve stolen and more from each of the societies they have systematically looted using Government as their intermediary Highwaymen.

      WOULD…. LOVE….. IT…….
      .

  68. HESE GUYS WERE EXPECTING TO MAKE A GAZILLION BUCKIES OFF AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD SHAME ON THESE GREEDY FREAKS AND AL GORE TOP OF THE LIST. NEVER AGAIN LISTEN TO THESE FOOLS.

  69. The Emperor’s New Clothes : He has finally seen that he was naked as a Jay Bird with his opinions of dome and gloom pertaining to Global Warming. The King is dead, long live the King. Now if we can get all the Al Gore Zombies to open their eyes and see that Global Warming is a scam, a fraud, and Al Gore is only in it for the money. When Al Gore entered the White House his net worth was under a million dollars when he left he was worth tens of millions and now after his Global Warming scam he is now worth hundreds of millions. You do the math When John (I served in Vietnam!) Kerry said that Global Warming or Climate Change was as big a threat to America as terrorism. That proved to me without a doubt that him as well as all the others in the Obama admiration are not even qualified to be Community Organizes much less be in such important rolls of our government. The out and out stupidity coming from the Democratic Party and other socialist organizations are breath taking to say the least. IT IS AN ABSOLUTELY 14 CARROT GOLD SCAM! QED

  70. Sure! Why not collapse the economies are huge nations on what is basically a whim of the AGW crowd, even though every prediction they have made has either not come true, or the complete opposite has!

  71. This global warming/climate change or whatever you want to call it was bogus from day one. The sky is not falling, it just keeps spinning around.

  72. Doesn’t the AGW crowd calling the skeptics who demand some sort of proof “deniers” smack of a religious movement? Now they want imprison skeptics! What’s next, the iron lady or being thrown into a holy frozen arctic sea to see if Al Gore saves you?

  73. Global warming is just a game to limit the use of fossil fuels and grow government. Cheap and abundant energy fuels freedom, liberal central planners don’t like that. So global warming was born in an attempt to destroy capitalism. No one can know what the normal temperature of the earth should be, we don’t have the data. The earth being thousands or millions of years old.

  74. Teach your children the truth and that is green energy is usually more harmful than current fossil fuels. The alarmists want us to use things like nuclear power which is fine till we have an oops moment. The current battery technology uses some very expensive, very hazardous materials. Do you really want to be forced to trust most American drivers with a battery that can explode and poison everyone around on your way to pick up the kids? The electricity comes from coal power plants…. Yep, how the heck does that help the situation? Perhaps we should use wind power. Sounds great till you hear how many Bald Eagles and other rare birds that are killed because of those things. By UK environmental estimates the average wind turbine is about 20% efficient and extremely expensive to repair.

    Ok, what about solar? Sounds great except what do you do when there is no sun. We could always store the excess power in lead acid batteries. Lead acid batteries have an life expectancy of anywhere between 5 to 10 years max. How many people do you think would just toss those things out with the trash.

    If you want to know what the enviornmental movement is all about then look no further than the light bulb. We use to have very very cheap light bulbs known as incondescent bulbs. Philips came out with an LED bulb that did cost $60.00 and no one wanted it so they had the government phase out the .69 cent bulbs and force us to go with florescent and LED bulbs. Florescent bulbs contain mercury and lead, lots of it. LED bulbs also contain lead as well. Both types are loaded with carcinogens. The environmental movement is about fleecing the people of money and power.

  75. MIKEMOAIR2: 13351 upvotes CAN’T be wrong…..im the only person in America with a solid plan to return Detroit to the great city it once was…..have you heard a plan from anybody?

  77. The climate kooks are always trying to win converts,apparently this guy woke up before he had to drink the kool aide.
    Smart guy.
    He better watch out though, cults always go after souls that have come to they’re senses.
    Most likely they’ll just savage him in the media.

      Irony (e.g., this is what life is all about):

      God grant me the
      serenity

      to accept the things I cannot change;

      courage to change the things I can;

      and wisdom to know the difference.

      Living one day
      at a time;

      Enjoying one moment at a time;

      Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

      Taking, as He did, this sinful world

      as it is, not as I would have it;

      Trusting that He will make all things right

      if I surrender to His Will;

      That I may be reasonably happy in this life

      and supremely happy with Him

      Forever in the next.

      Amen.

  78. Whole thing has been a sham for years perpetuated by ‘climate change’ journalists who have to keep themselves in a job, scientists who ‘sold out’ just to get funding and governments using it as another mechanism to both control the masses through fear and then tax you for it. They just have to understand geological stratigraphy……look at the rock record….that provides evidence of real and naturally driven climate change! Anything recent is mere ‘weather’ as we know, even compared to the Little Ice Age in the 17 and 18 centuries, it is feck all.

  79. I’ve always held that there are no Climate Scientists. There are climate data gatherers, climate modelers, climate priests, but no Climate Scientists.

    The university degrees these so called experts have are fraudulent. These folks are the modern day equivalent of Phrenologists.

    Ask yourself a simple question. How do these experts determine the earths temperature from just 1000 years ago. There were no thermometers back then, and there are no historical temperature readings. They use “proxies” to arrive at what they THINK the temperature was. Then they use the same techniques to guess at what the temps were millions of years ago. These are guesses. This is not science.

    Then they compound the problem. They take guesses on temperature along with guesses of sea level and even guesses of time based on carbon 14 testing that is known to be easily falsified. What they proclaim loudly as being accurate is in fact their guess.

    This is not science. These folks should have their Doctorates invalidated as their entire field of study is as yet an area devoid of any reasonable certainty and not deserving of being labeled as a legitimate science.

  80. Mr. Lovelock confirmed what most reasonable people already suspected. There are many of us (and now Mr. Lovelock and others who are speaking “Power to the Truth” on the subject) who have rejected the Global Warming hype and hyperbole (now, with the left running from that moniker “Global Warming” by calling it “Climate Change”) from the get-go. We understood the value and integrity of using the empirical method and knew that the “Climate Change” hucksters had abandoned doing real science in exchange for selling their souls for grant money or subsidies from Crony capitalists (like Al Gore) who will make billions off of the UN scam.

    Simple rule: Always follow the money because that is what drives these types of “populist” movements. All of the “Climate Change” herd with few exceptions, get their funding from these “suspect” sources including government and the crony capitalists in the “Green” energy industry who will without a doubt, greedily benefit.

  81. One has to be a real moron to believe that man caused CO2 can actually change climate. CO2 makes up only .04% (400 ppm) of the atmosphere. Even if man contributed 10% of that number, it would not have an impact on Earth’s climate. It’s amazing to me that people buy into this foolishness, nobody seems to have a sense of proportion. At least one ‘scientist’ finally wised up.

  82. Gore and the Democrats’ Green Graft Machine
    “With the Solyndra, First Solar, Sunpower, Fisker, and related Obama administration Department of Energy scandals, President Obama is following a trail blazed by Vice President Al Gore in the mid-1990s. Similar scandals failed (or failing) green technology companies intertwined with Democratic Party fundraising — will continue to arise until we understand their genesis….”

  83. Good to see another glo-bull warmist’s self induced blood clot has dissolved and his
    cerebral ischaemia is clearing up.
    A diet of fresh air and reality, along with staying away from fatheads, should keep him from developing another one.

  84. ‘Man-made global warming/climate change’ is about manufacturing an excuse for global elites to impose taxes on earth’s population. It is a farce designed to give legitimacy to an international body attempting the transition to global governance. The U.N. has no legitimacy as a governing body because it was created and exists without the participation and consent of the people. The earth’s climate has always been in transition. The difference now is that there are shysters attempting use this fact of nature as leverage to usurp the sovereignty of nations and the freedom of those inhabitants.

  85. Marc Morano, please stop calling it “Climate Change” and call it what it really is, “Global Warming”. Don’t let them change the terms of the debate half way through the game when it becomes obvious that it was a BIG FAT LIE all along! Flaunt the LIE — Global WARMING! Hit them over the head with their own hockey stick!

  86. Energy control

    If you look closely every attempt by the left to control society eventually reverts to the control of the production and allocation of energy sources.

    Fascism:

    A system of government marked by centralization of authority
    under a dictator (Or wanna be dictator), stringent socioeconomic controls,
    suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship and massive
    regulation of private business.

    If you attain the complete control over the production and
    allocation of energy you control EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

    If you think that statement is too harsh; try to think of
    one single thing you do that does not require some input of energy you do not
    supply yourself. Hard to identify something? Now take it one step further. Try
    to identify who controls the energy you do use daily. In almost every case the
    government is gaining more and more control over the sources and allocation of
    energy in every respect.

    The whole “climate change” indoctrination program is to
    enable ideologues to control energy.

    Remember this Obama quote:

    “On issues that are important to us, we’re going to punish
    our enemies and reward our friends”

    You can bet the Obama administration’s out of control EPA
    will be actively rewarding the allocation of energy on the bases of identifying
    enemies and friends.

  87. It’s not just about climate change, it’s about resource depletion too. Tarsands and shale oil have very low EROIs and consume lots of water. When animals expend more energy foraging than they obtain from plant food sources, they die. We are also dealing with developing countries like China and India starting to consume at North American levels, with only so much oil, gas, etc. I agree, that the communication has been alarmist on climate change, but can you really blame everyone involved as if it’s part of some conspiracy? If the models really were true, wouldn’t you be communicating with a sense of urgency. The bottom line, is there are other reasons besides climate change, to move to renewable energy systems. For one, they are decentralized energy. So all the people saying, climate change is really about control, I don’t see it. Germany has largely been inspired to move to renewable’s, because of climate change, and all that has happened is over 40& of the countries energy is now produced by citizen-owned co-ops and everyday Joe’s, away from government and corporations.

  88. It is my understanding that our planet is in an elliptical orbit around our source of heat, the Sun. An elliptical orbit may not be precise from year to year. Only God knows for certain and He is in full charge. If the orbit changes, even slightly, there will be measurable changes. Such changes do not constitute predictable change. Weather is a changeable phenomenon, predictable to an inexact degree. Therefore, be prepared and tell Al Gore to clean up his energy goggling home and go out and weed the garden during the heat of the day, without a hat.
