Science:
- Our own publications:
- In his famous essay, Science as Falsification (), Popper wrote "It is easy to
obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every
theory — if we look for confirmations." What climate Alarmists
are doing is looking for proof of their ideas everywhere. We
are daily bombarded by cherry-picked news items that seem to
confirm the theory of AGW. Yet, as Popper said, a theory that
explains everything explains nothing (Corbett Report about
climate science: ). Science is about finding
out where theories are wrong and not where they are correct.
- For a theory to remain standing and (for the moment)
considered correct, it has to be subjected to falsification.
A theory must be testable and have a possibility to refute it.
the IPCC, every time contradicting information comes in,
changes its model in a Bayesian way. Thereby making their
procedure non-scientific.
- For a theory to be the correct one, alternative
explanations have to have been rejected by
falsification. In the case of the correlation between [CO2]
and T, there are two hypotheses:
1) CO2 in the atmosphere works as a greenhouse
gas. If [CO2] increases, the planet heats up,
if [CO2] decreases, the planet cools down.
2) Henry's Law: Oceans can trap
gases. If the oceans heat up, the ability is reduced and CO2
will be liberated into the atmosphere.
In a recent paper, we have once again demonstrated that Henry's
Law perfectly explains historical data (those of Al
Gore's movie) ,
as well as contemporary data .
We can thus reject the AGW hypothesis.
- Positive feedback 'runaway'
scenario of melting white ice turning into black seawater and
thus absorbing more sunlight and thus heating up more would
predict an irreversible melting of polar ice, as for instance
predicted by Al Gore (2009: "North Pole ice may be gone in 5
to 7 years" ).
In reality, ice can regrow 60% in one year (). A reason might be the negative
feedback of ice that works as a blanket. (When the
planet warms up, ice melts and warm water is exposed to the
universe, allowing for rapid cooling). Moreover, water very
efficiently reflects light at low grazing angles of incidence
(as at the poles). When this is taken into account, ice that
disappears will grow back, as is observed. Read our
peer-reviewed paper here: Atmospheric
and Climate Sciences 7, 76 (2017)
- The carbon dioxide in
history has always lagged behind temperature; CO2
has no impact on the climate while the climate does have
impact on CO2.
Or directly read our peer-reviewed paper here: ISRN
2014 (2014), Article ID 161530.
- A continuous gradual warming of the planet has started
long before the industrial revolution. No 'accelerated'
warming is taking place at this moment. The hockey-stick
figure (of constant temperature for 1000 years and sudden
sharp increase at the end of 20th century) has been proven to
be a fraud, a construction of a temperature series based on
carefully chosen 'proxies'.
- The (alleged) disappearance of ice cannot be explained
by a mere increase of temperature. If the planet warms
up 1 degree, the ice-line shifts some 50-100 km to the poles.
Not more. In our finite element research, we actually found
that disappearing of ice makes the planet cool down, making
the ice reappear.
Ice on Antarctica does not disappear because of melting. It is
24/365 below zero celcius there. Ice slides off the land by
glaciers that are broken up by ocean currents.
- A warming of the planet is good for humanity; 9
degrees warmer would be ideal. During the tiny increase in the
last century, population has doubled and life expectancy
substantially improved. An average temperature of 24 degrees
is ideal for humans. Anything hotter or colder makes people
ill. It is now about 15 degrees on average. A human-hostile
environment.
- Plants are suffocating because of lack of CO2.
The initial 25% CO2 in the atmosphere has been
removed (dropped to about 0.04%). (The temperature remained
the same). CO2 is good for nature;
it works like a fertilizer. The planet has become much greener
since the increase of CO2 in the atmosphere.
Agricultural yield increases. In our recent publication we
have shown that the Earth has become +19% greener
- It has been much colder with much more CO2
in the atmosphere. It has been much warmer with less
CO2 in the atmosphere.
- It has been much warmer in recent history (ca. 1500).
- There has been more CO2 in the atmosphere in very
recent history (just before the cut-off of data presented to
you, ca. 1940).
- It is scientifically not possible to explain (model)
significant increases of temperature by the so-called
greenhouse effect. For that a (high gain) positive-feedback
(runaway) scenario would be needed that is
scientifically not sound. (For instance, nature does not
runaway by temperature excursions every year in
winter-summer). A hypothesis, moreover, that is rejected by
measurements.
If the open-loop gain of CO2
in the atmosphere is A = 50 mK for 280 ppm, adding
(positive) feedback β of the output (temperature) to the input
([CO2]), the overall climate sensitivity of CO2
will be
The climate modellers had to explain
the observed data (warming) only with CO2 and this
determined their value of β. It has no physical justification.
With positive feedback, the climate system also becomes
unstable and that is why you hear a lot about "point of no
return" and so on. Yet, the climate is rather stable. Every
day and every year the temperature makes huge swings from
which it does recover. That shows the real feedback is
negative, which makes the overall climate sensitivity
smaller than 50 mK for doubling of [CO2]
in the atmosphere.
- A temperature increase
stronger at the poles compared to the equator reduces the
frequency and intensity of weather catastrophes.
- Climate models in history have always been of the Bayesian
type; adjusting the models to retroactively 'predict' existing
data and failing to predict future data. Climate models
have thus been cyclic, following the weather (the
tendency at short term), predicting a further cooling after
cooling spells and warming up after warming spells.
- All IPCC climate models have failed so far.
- There do not exist climate 'models' as such. What
exists are climate calculations.
These are done on supercomputers in the same method of
trial-and-error used for calculating and predicting the
weather. This method resulted -- after some tens of thousands
of iterative cycles -- in a fair weather prediction for some
days. Using the same technique, it would thus take tens of
thousands of cycles (thousands of centuries) to come up with
reasonable climate predictions. So far, we have done about 0.3
century of calculations and still have a long way to go.
The 'error bars' shown in IPCC reports are not error bars (as
in "with 95% probability the temperature will remain between
these two limits"), but statistical spread of letting their
simulations run hundreds of times with a spread of parameters
that is still consistent with -- that can still simulate --
past observations. That is as if I am going to calculate on
what day my wife will deliver her baby and I say "25 August,
give or take 2 days", . . . while in reality she is not even
pregnant.
- The atmosphere is one of the most complex systems known to
man. The current knowledge is by far not sufficient to
make reliable predictions. People who predict the
climate on basis of the sparse information available, should
go and predict the infinitely simpler system of the stock
market instead.
- The sun is
the biggest climate-determining factor.
Carbon dioxide has little impact on the climate.
- No weather event can be used to prove climate changes.
If you see any such event being reported in the news where a
link to the climate is suggested, beware, you are being
brainwashed.
- Predicting the end of the world has always been
popular. That is well explained by Dawkins' Meme: An idea in
society can survive and propagate because the host (the
society) is receptive to it. Global Warming is not the first
and will not be the last catastrophic model, even if all of
the previous models have proven to be wrong. Remember: Y2K
(a.k.a. Millennium Bug), ozone, acid rain, Armageddon, H1N1,
etc. Fear sells.
- The AGW models are a result of the human psyche, what the
evolutionary psychiatrist J. Anderson Thomson describes as "We
have a great deal of difficulty seeing anything other than
human causation" [1]. In other words, we have a need to
explain everything as 'caused by humans'. Applied to climate
changes: "It must be
human-caused".
- Concerning the apparent consensus of AGW: 'Consensus' is not
the same as 'scientific proof'. (Ex.: Most people belief in a
supernatural force, yet there is no proof for such a being).
'Consensus' applies to the field of politics and is a word
adequate for politicians, not for scientists. It shows where
the AGW problem is rooted, namely in the realm of politics.
Read here how a consensus is created by our peer review
system:
Or read our peer-reviewd paper here: Consensus
in science, MCMA 21 (2015).
Philosophy:
- Doing science by adjusting the models every time new data
comes in, as done by the IPCC, is not science. Read here more
about what is science and what is not.
Or directly read our peer-review paper: Energy
& Environ. 25, 137 (2014).
or conference paper: Eur.
Sci. J. 4, 385-390 (2013).
- While there is an alleged
consensus in literature for the ideas, there is a consensus
among scientists against the global warming ideas: See
the Climate
Petition.
- People believe in the Global Warming scenario for the same
reason French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal
believed in God. In what is now called 'Pascal's Wager'
he stated, "I have nothing to lose by believing in God if He
does not exist, whereas I have everything to lose if I don't
believe in Him and He does exist". The same applies to the
climate. If a person believes in it and it turns out to be
false, then there is not much harm done, whereas not believing
in it while it turns out to be true is a fierce sin. This can
be summarized in the decision table below that is filled out
for an ignoramus (somebody that does not have any knowledge on
the subject and thus estimates it to be 50% likely true). It
is clear that an ignoramus has to 'bet' on AGW to be true, the
expectation value for the reward is much higher then when not
believing.

The reward becomes even more pronounced
if the person becomes 'active'. That is, trying to convince
others of their religious beliefs. We have summarized this
psychology of Global Warming in a peer-reviewed scientific
paper that can be found here:
Eur.
Sci. J. 12, 427 (2016)
Industry:
- The carbon dioxide trade, renewable energies etc. are big
business. The CO2 Cap 'n Trade
market stands at some 2 trillion dollars.
- The Global Warming threat is lucrative for everybody
adhering to this belief. Including industry, politicians and
'scientists'. Financially, as well as in terms of prestige and
power. Non-believers are marginalized in society. The green
energies industry is estimated at 1.4 trillion euros. The
biggest companies are actually the biggest promoters of the
Global Warming ideas. Take for instance a look at the pages of
ERT (European Round Table of Industrialists, 50 biggest
companies of Europe) here: ERT
AGW.
- Most renewable energies (except water dams) cost
more energy than they deliver. They destroy the planet.
- The transition to 'clean' energy sources is what will save
the world economy (not what will save the planet from
over-exploitation).
- No renewable-energies companies have ever survived without
governmental subsidies. That is because energy is the
bottleneck in our society and renewable energies are
energetically not profitable (except dams). Windmills do not
have to be energetically profitable to be financially
lucrative. Subsidies have created what is called a
green-energy mafia, alluding to the organization specialized
in earning money without giving anything in return.
- Cultivating bio-fuels on a large scale has made food
prices rise dramatically and this causes social unrest
in many parts of the world. Panem
et circenses. (Give the people food and games and
they will be quiet). The cultivating of bio-fuel plants is
even causing a slow genocide which is a too high price to pay
for addressing the nightmares of the privileged few.
- Planting trees does not compensate for carbon emissions. By
the increased CO2 in the atmosphere causing an
accelerated plant growth, nature will do that itself without
the need for human intervention. Planting trees is just
(lucrative) business, nothing more.
- A conventional lightbulb has 100% efficiency. 5% light, 95%
heat. In most countries in indoor situations, where light is
needed normally also heat is needed. Other electrical sources
of light are bad for the environment, but good for industry.
- Before the lobby of new light sources, the old lightbulb had
been attributed a 1500 hours lifetime in analytical
reports. Nowadays that has been reduced to 750. The reasons
for changing this official number are obvious.
- New technologies have never decreased energy consumption. To
the contrary, they have always increased the hunger for
energy. Low-energy consuming LEDs will turn every city
into a form of Las Vegas. Mentally prepare yourself.
- These (energy and climate) 'population' problems of our
society do not have a technological solution. I highly
recommend reading the classical paper of Garrett Hardin, "The
Tragedy of the Commons" from 1968 [2]
Politics:
- The IPCC is a political
body and not a scientific body. They start with the
conclusions (a political agenda) and hire the scientists to
give foundation for the political actions. See image below.
(see IPCC page how they are preparing
their reports: https://www.ipcc.ch/about/preparingreports/)
- The IPCC is a political body with a mission to find
proof of climate changes. As such, this body has nothing
to do with science, since their approach goes directly against
the Scientific Method that states that the research has to be
aimed at exactly the opposite, namely to disproof
models.
Read more here , about the official
report of one of the official IPCC reviewers (Igor
Khmelinskii), where he exposes IPCC members as fraudsters.
Read here our statement on Barroso's climate statement
Read here our statement on the COP21 climate summit in Paris
(2015).
- The apparent consensus among (climate) 'scientists'
about AGW is the result of political interference in
science, i.e., selectively approving and financing the work of
Alarmists. You get what you paid for.
- A warming of the planet is a non-issue for
the 90% (poor) people of the world. It is a problem of the
haves and not of the have-nots. The haves cannot
demand from the have-nots to become have-even-less in order
to save the havings of the haves. People, generally
speaking, are not concerned about losing things they do not
have.
- Science involves questioning existing models (being
a Skeptic) and creative thinking. Politics involves
eliminating intellectual diversity. (Definitions).
- The idea of Global Warming
was invented to facilitate the creation of a pan-global
government. (New World Order, or Agenda 21, whatever you
may call it). In the book First Global Revolution the Club of
Rome states
“The common enemy of
humanity is man. In searching for a new enemy to unite us,
we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of
global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would
fit the bill. All these dangers are caused by human
intervention, and it is only through changed attitudes and
behavior that they can be overcome. The real enemy then, is
humanity itself."
An enemy is invented to align people.
If this sounds Orwellian to you, it is because it is
Orwellian. See here a 21 minute speech of Ann Brassington who
very well describes what is going on and what is going to
happen if we don't stop them.
- George Orwell, in his book 1984, described how a forced
change of language can be used to manipulate how people think.
The new language was called Newspeak. An example of this in
modern climate 'journalism' is how The Guardian instructs
journalists what words to use when describing the climate
subject. Examples:
* Do not talk about "Climate Change" (what had already been
changed from Global Warming). Instead, talk about a "climate
crisis", or "climate emergency"
* Do not call scientists "skeptics", but "climate deniers"
* Use "global heating" and not "global warming"
Etc.
- All predictions of the models of the political bodies such
as the IPCC so far have failed (see Bayesian science above) . This puts them at
par with other end-of-the-world prophets like Nostradamus.
- The information of the scarcity of fossil fuels comes from a
political body (OPEC) representing the economical bodies that
benefit from the alleged scarcity of these same fossil fuels.
The last 50 years, they have been claiming deposits exist for
30 years. Everybody in the world ignores this curious truth.
- The 'hidden agenda' of most countries for reducing oil
consumption and investing in renewable energies is not saving
the planet, but instead is reducing (political) dependence
on other countries. Little do they know that renewable
energies, in fact, unfortunately increase this dependence. (In
spite of -- or actually because of -- heavy investing in
renewable energies, petrol prices have soared in the last
decade).
- Saving the planet from the Malthusian catastrophe does not
come from the cosmetic measures of marginally reducing the
energy consumed per capita, but from limiting the amount of
people having access to energy. Hence, all political attempts
of 'saving the planet' are done by the few rich to prevent the
many poor from developing. This is called hypocrisy.
Environmentalists should reduce their personal energy
consumption by at least 99% before they can have a right to
tell others what to do. With the remaining 1% they will not be
able to promote their ideas. Ergo, logically, real concerned
environmentalist ideas should not have any chance of survival
in society. Ergo, the environmentalists that do exist are not really
concerned about our planet, or do not understand the problem
they talk about; their existence is inconsistent with
their own ideas.
- CO2 tax on cars by how much they could pollute per km is
unfounded, since there is already a direct tax on
actually-produced CO2 itself; 1 liter of petrol
always
is converted into 2.360 kg of CO2,
independent of the size or efficiency of the engine! Moreover,
looking at the tables of this tax, it is clear that poor
people (smaller cars) are relatively taxed more than rich
people (expensive cars). This regressive taxing is
unprecedented.
- Data manipulation and science-steering has been
taking place by politicians in an attempt to unite people for
'the good cause', i.e., they are self-acclaimed heroes (known
objectively as 'dictators'). The graph below shows the
correction factor to the data, as a function of the need of
the correction factor to the data. A.k.a., 'fudge factor'.
- Special propaganda agencies
are called in to help change peoples behavior. For example
(Ereaut and Segnit, 2006):
This is called 'indoctrination'
in political jargon. We know it from the Nazi German
Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda (RMVP)
and from the Soviet's Department for Agitation and Propaganda
(отдел агитации и пропаганды, otdel agitatsii i propagandy).
In 2018, the plan of having a global government is well on its
way, as EU president van Rompuy said:
(from "Revolutie door schuld: De radicale geschiedenis van
de eenwording der aarde" of Rein de Vries)
