The question from my September 2015 post “Carbon Pollution” – tongue slip or deep ecology influence? seems to have an answer. Obama and his administration have cited “carbon pollution” on many occasions, so it is not a slip of the tongue. Continue reading What is “Carbon Pollution” in ObamaClimate?

Climate Models are Crap – Naomi Oreskes, 2001
In 2001, Naomi Oreskes was still on the side of light. Paper Philosophical Issues in Model Assessment, authored by her and her husband Kenneth Belitz, demonstrated that the major climate models were not valid and used by “major national and international agencies” misleadingly.

Noam Chomsky, Jack of All Trades
Noam Chomsky is one of the most frequently cited academics. But a quick Google search with words noam chomsky climate change paints him as a narrow-minded, intellectually lazy, arrogant, and fanatical charlatan. This goes a long way to illustrate how academia has embraced and then submitted to the climatist cult. If Chomsky represents the top academic level, then what is the average?

Obama orders commanders to prioritize climate change
Following overt instructions from foreign entities, including at least one country in a state of war with the United States (North Korea), the Obama administration has launched an attack on the United States Armed Forces. According to the Washington Times:

How “Climate Science” has Taken over the Science
Climate Science: Is it currently designed to answer questions?
Richard Lindzen, Program in Atmospheres, Oceans and Climate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Originally published on November 29, 2008; revised on September 21, 2012. In this article Richard Lindzen (a member of the National Academy of Sciences and seven other scientific societies and academies), lifts the veil on the internal workings of American scientific institutions to show their capture by climate alarmism prior to 2008, and he mentions some individual culprits by name. Examples (emphasis and links are mine throughout the article):

Climate Change compared to Invasion of Aliens from Space
Andrew Solow, a statistician at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, has said of the contention that we will be too late if we wait to do something about the greenhouse effect until we are sure of it: “This argument applies equally to an invasion of aliens from space.” (The whole paragraph is from NY Books Review, 1989)

Science in the Public Square: Global Climate Alarmism and Historical Precedents, Richard Lindzen.
The central idea of the article is a vicious feedback loop: Scientists make meaningless or ambiguous statements => Advocates and media translate statements into alarmist declarations => Politicians respond to alarm by feeding scientists more money => [a larger number of scientists and pseudo-]Scientists make meaningless or ambiguous [or false] statements …
One precedent was “Lysenkoism”:
In the Soviet Union, Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (1898- 1976) promoted the Lamarckian view of the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Continue reading Richard Lindzen: Iron Triangle and Iron Rice Bowl, 2013
