Watch Now: Climate Depot Debates Global Warming on UN TV At UN Summit! UN Host to Morano: ‘There is no need to shout’ — Morano: ‘The UN IPCC is first and foremost a political process, not scientific’

Climate Depot’s Marc Morano debated a UN television interviewer during the UN global warming summit in Warsaw Poland on November 19, 2013. Morano was interviewed by the UN’s ‘Climate Change Studio’ and the video has now been posted on You Tube by the UN. At one point, the UN interviewer told Morano, “There is no need to shout,” to which an animated Morano retorted “I am not shouting.”  The UN interviewer also told Morano: “Many do strongly disagree with you.”

The UN bills “Climate Change Studio” interviews as “an opportunity for representatives of NGOs, IGOs, UN system and Parties to be interviewed briefly by a professional journalist on actions, solutions, observations and issues that impact on climate change.”

Selected Highlights from Morano’s 10 minute contentious UN TV interview.

Morano on UN IPCC reports: These reports are political. It was essentially written by a handful of UN scientists and they are fulfilling a narrative on man-made global warming.

Morano on alleged ‘consensus’ of scientistsI authored report of over 1000 dissenting scientists; this included many scientist who reversed themselves from believers to skeptics. People like [Green guru] James Lovelock, who has now gone from alarmist to almost skeptic — to Lennart Bengtsson, former UN IPCC scientist who now says we would not have noticed the global wamring. [See: See: More Than 1000 International Scientists Dissent Over Man-Made Global Warming Claims – Challenge UN IPCC & Gore — See: 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’  — ‘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’  ]

Morano: The UN IPCC is first and foremost a political process, not scientific. The IPCC is great political theatre. The settled science which the UN IPCC claims, seems to be changing by the week. We had two contrary studies in one week, with one study saying the global warming ‘pause’ was due to Montreal Protocol and another study saying we recalibrated [past] temperatures and presto, there was no ‘pause’ in temperatures.

The whole agenda here is politics. You have Michael Oppenheimer, a UN IPCC scientist, on the payroll of Barbara Streisand of Hollywood. Big Hollywood is funding one of your top UN scientists, but I don’t hear you worrying about his credibility there. [See: Scientist to the Hollywood Stars: UN IPCC’s Michael Oppenheimer ‘was the holder of the ‘Barbra Streisand Chair of Environmental Studies’ at Environmental Defense Fund’]

UN Host Ed asks Morano: “What would it take you to be convinced [of man-made global warming threat]?”

Morano responded: You would have to see unprecedented climate and weather and we have neither. Multiple studies, in fact hundreds of scientists have shown the medieval warm period was as warm or warmer than current temperatures. [See: ‘More than 700 scientists from 400 institutions in 40 countries have contributed peer-reviewed papers providing evidence that the Medieval Warm Period was real, global, & warmer than the present’]

Morano on attempts by UN to exploit Typhoon Haiyan which hit the Philippines and calls to regulate bad weather:

That is akin to medieval witchcraft to imply the UN can prevent natural weather disasters like typhoons. To turn this typhoon into ‘proof’ of global warming is unscientific and sheer cheap exploitation.

The UN interviewer then asked Morano: “What if you are wrong?”

Morano’s responded: Why not get a [climate] insurance policy? Why would you buy an insurance policy on your home that costs more than your home is worth and would pay out virtually nothing if your home burned down? You wouldn’t, that would be insurance fraud, but that is what they are selling. The UN’s Kyoto protocol, even if fully implemented and ratified — which it never was — wouldn’t even have had a noticeable impact on global temperatures in 50 to 100 years [according to warmists’ own estimates.] In the U.S., with cap-and-trade and carbon taxes — not only would they not impact global temperatures, but they would not even impact global CO2 levels.

The idea that somehow we can do an insurance policy with anything the United Nations is currently proposing is pure madness. It is silliness to think that treaties and acts of Congress or the EU can control the weather in any way that would be noticeable.

The question is: If you are right, we basically have to accept a climate catastrophe because there is no solution according to you guys, other than just restricting economies and emissions.

Morano: ‘A racial component where the white wealthy western world is telling the developing world they can’t have the same standard of living’

Then you get into the immorality of telling Africans and 1.6 billion people of color in the developing world – Asia, Africa, South America — that they can’t develop with coal, natural gas and carbon based energy like we have. You get into basically a racial component where the white wealthy western world is telling the developing world they can’t have the same standard of living. And we have people like California Governor Jerry Brown say that very thing — that the developing world cannot emulate wealthy western prosperity because the Earth cannot handle it.

In other words, they can’t have modern sewage and coal plants, as the Obama Administration prevents coal through World Bank in Africa. But you can get a solar panel on your hut made of dung. We will let you do that. It’s immoral.” [End Morano excerpts] [See: S. African activist slams UN’s ‘Green Climate Fund’: ‘Government to govt aid is a reward for being better than anyone else at causing poverty’ — ‘It enriches the people who cause poverty’ – ‘The UN is saying to poor countries: ‘Those of you who adopt more anti-prosperity, anti- jobs, and anti-growth policies — under the pretense of environmentalism — we will enrich you”]

UN TV interviewer Ed concludes debate with Morano by stating: “I think you made your points very clear.”

The global warming movement is suffering the scientific death of a thousand cuts.’

  1. The UN/UNEP/UNFCCC’s unspoken mantra would seem to be “Let us take steps that will ensure that the weak shall inherit the dearth”..

    And – while I’m here – if I might be so bold as to offer a few words of (what I hope will be considered as) friendly but constructive criticism ,,,

    Marc, you have so many facts at your fingertips but, IMHO, they ripple off your tongue far too quickly for those who might not be familiar with the evidence and the issues to be able to absorb them.

    FWIW, when I first stumbled onto this “battlefield”, approx. 10 days BC [Before Climategate], and I was doing my own “due diligence”, I’m fairly certain that I did come across ClimateDepot and watched some of your presentations. They didn’t persuade me. But one whose demeanour and presentation led my feet firmly onto the path into the “skeptic” camp was Richard Lindzen.

    Even if – at that point – I hadn’t a clue about much of what he was saying, his calm, measured tone and demeanour (and occasional spurts of wry humour) – particularly in contrast to that which I read/heard from the likes of Mann, Schmidt, Hansen, Santer, Schneider and others of their persuasion.

    In short, Marc, please do keep up the great work, but I’m hoping you will consider visualizing a sign which reads: “Slow down … New listeners ahead” 🙂

  2. If the people of the USA buy into this we are finiished as a nation of free enterprise and will suffer from no new jobs and extremely high energy cost which will do nothig but fill the pockets of the energy providers . $500.00 a month electricity cost will not be uncommon , the real propblem is the warming people are not giving up they intend to inflict as much harm as they can to the United States and laugh all the way to the bank and the poor in Africa will just have to eat cake uhh! crumbs .

  3. If Reddit had their way, the speech from the man in the video would be banned for saying anything other than what the political dogma of the ‘climate fear’ promoters demand.

  4. There is one more fact that virtually makes it impossible for there to be catastrophic “global” warming: the planet is getting farther away from the sun every year by 15cm/yr.
