| Climate change for 18 years: 'An orchestrated litany of lies' |
| 2009-12-15 |
| As the Copenhagen climate talks enter their final phase, President Obama and 115 other world leaders are attempting to impose drastic carbon dioxide reductions on developed nations and to transfer billions of dollars to Third World countries to help them do the same, based entirely on highly suspect computer models. Dr. Vincent Gray, who resigned from the Royal Society of New Zealand to protest the inaccuracies in a report on climate change it issued on July 12, minced no words when he called the entire global warming scenario "an orchestrated litany of lies": "As an Expert Reviewer for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for eighteen years, that is to say, from the very beginning. I have submitted thousands of comments to all of the Reports. My comments on the Fourth IPCC Report, all 1,898 of them, are to be found at IPCC (2007) and my opinions of the IPCC are in Gray (2008b) "I am therefore very familiar with the arguments presented by the IPCC, many of which have now been copied by the Royal Society of New Zealand, and the responses to them.... The globe is warming "This statement is a lie. The globe is currently cooling. According to the CSSP Report (Karl et al 2007), there are currently nine authorities currently involved in providing a dataset of monthly global temperature anomalies. They are: NOAA's National Climate Data Center (NCDC, GHCN-COADS)"Eight of these authorities agree that the globe is currently cooling. Only GISS disagrees. because of increasing greenhouse gas emissions "No evidence is presented to justify this conclusion. There are "projections" of computer models but these are not predictions, they are merely the results of assumptions made in the model. No "projected" result has ever been successfully related to an actual change in the climate. Measurements show that greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are well above levels seen for many thousands of years. "This statement is a lie. 90,000 measurements published in peer-reviewed journals since 1850, some by Nobel Prize-winners, have been suppressed by the IPCC because they do not agree with this statement. (Beck 2007). Stability of carbon dioxide in ice cores thousands of years old is questionable. (Jaworowski 2007). Recent measurements of carbon dioxide are confined only to exceptional circumstances over the ocean, and do not include measurements over land. (Manning et al 1994). Further global climate changes are predicted "This is another lie. Computer models of the climate have never been shown to be capable of prediction, and the IPCC recognises this by using the term "projections" for the output from the models. This statement refers only to greenhouse gas concentrations anyway, not to any other 'global climate change.'" |

| #6 In the past I wondered a bit about the motives of AGW alarmists. Read the Copenhagen Agreement, and you know what's going on: an UN-orchestrated power grab of kleptocrats and scientific useful idiots. A lot of money we would be forced to pay (without any democratic oversight) would actually go to countries like: Venezuela Iran Russia China Can we be that stupid? |

| #3 Ouch! You just know certain Perts won't be invited to Reno-Las Vegas GW Convention next time. |

| #2 "an orchestrated litany of lies" -- I like that phrase, it rolls off the tongue nicely. |
