A Liberal Con Worth Billion$
The concept of man-made global warming could easily be seen as a complex con meant to create a myriad of liberal billionaires. Why?
Well simply because the liberals espousing man-made global warming (based on fatally flawed and unprofessional science) have already amassed fortunes based on the fad of AGW, and are poised to become the next Bill Gates if the con plays out in their favor – all at taxpayer expense of course:
No one in the world exercised more influence on the events leading up to the Copenhagen conference on global warming than Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and mastermind of its latest report in 2007.
Although Dr Pachauri is often presented as a scientist (he was even once described by the BBC as “the world’s top climate scientistâ€), as a former railway engineer with a PhD in economics he has no qualifications in climate science at all.
What has also almost entirely escaped attention, however, is how Dr Pachauri has established an astonishing worldwide portfolio of business interests with bodies which have been investing billions of dollars in organisations dependent on the IPCC’s policy recommendations.
These outfits include banks, oil and energy companies and investment funds heavily involved in ‘carbon trading’ and ‘sustainable technologies’, which together make up the fastest-growing commodity market in the world, estimated soon to be worth trillions of dollars a year.
The guy is not even a real theoretical scientist, he worked on a railroad! While oil companies make good money fueling the economies of the world, the green corporate greed makes them look like amateurs. Now that last few real journalists are finally taking notice of the obvious conflict of interest (where those whose fortunes and credibility rest on AGW being proven are responsible for proving AGW) maybe the con will be exposed?
It at least should be investigated to ensure there is no green corporate greed! And if they have a financial interest they either cough them up or step down.

Fraud in Europe’s Cap and Trade System a ‘Red Flag,’ Critics Say

To be fair, Dr Rajendra Pachauri does have a MS in Industrial Engineering (1972), a PhD in Industrial Engineering and a PhD in Economics from North Carolina State University, but, frankly, most of the “peer review” “climate scientists” bunch would not recognize anyone with those credentials as a “climate scientist.”

Neo – Many thanks, will use that in a new post!
It has long been considered that the US was the target of this massive redistribution of wealth, but for a moment, consider the case that over time the biggest “target” of this scheme turned out to be China … and China wanted no part of it.
The irony of communist China being against “wealth redistribution” is just so far out there.

John,
There has been some email traffic in the last few days to a week – quite a bit really, only a small part about MSU. The main part has been one of your House subcommittees wanting Mike Mann and others and IPCC to respond on how they produced their reconstructions and how IPCC produced their report.
In case you want to look at this see later in the email !
Also this load of rubbish !
This is from an Australian at BMRC (not Neville Nicholls). It began from the attached article. What an idiot. The scientific community would come down on me in no uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only
7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.
The Australian also alerted me to this blogging ! I think this is the term ! Luckily I don’t live in Australia.

Unlike the UK, the public in Australia is very very naïve about climate change, mostly because of our governments Kyoto stance, and because there is a proliferation of people with no climate knowledge at all that are prepared to do the gov bidding. Hence the general populace is at best confused, and at worst, antagonistic about climate change -for instance, at a recent rural meeting on drought, attended by politicians and around 2000 farmers, a Qld collegue – Dr Roger Stone – spoke about drought from a climatologist point of view, and suggested that climate change may be playing a role in Australias continuing drought+water problem. He was booed and heckled (and unfortunately some politicians applauded when this happened) – that’s what we’re dealing with due to columists such as the one I sent to you.
Now to your email. I have seen the latest Mears and Wentz paper (to Science), but am not reviewing it, thank goodness. I am reviewing a couple of papers on extremes, so that I can refer to them in the chapter for AR4. Somewhat circular, but I kept to my usual standards.
The Hadley Centre are working on the day/night issue with sondes, but there are a lot of problems as there are very few sites in the tropics with both and where both can be distinguished. My own view if that the sondes are overdoing the cooling wrt MSU4 in the lower stratosphere, and some of this likely (IPCC definition) affects the upper troposphere as well. Sondes are a mess and the fact you get agreement with some of them is miraculous. Have you looked at individual sondes, rather than averages – particularly tropical ones? LKS is good, but the RATPAC update less so.
As for being on the latest VG analysis, Kostya wanted it to use the surface data. I thought the model comparisons were a useful aside, so agreed. Ben sent me a paper he’s submitted with lots of model comparisons that I also thought a useful addition to the subject.
As for resolving all this (as opposed to the dogfight) I’m hoping that CCSP will come up with something – a compromise. I might be naive in this respect. I hope you are still emailing and talking to Carl and Frank. How is CCSP going? Are you still on schedule for end of August for your open review?
What will be interesting is to see how IPCC pans out, as we’ve been told we can’t use any article that hasn’t been submitted by May 31. This date isn’t binding, but Aug 12 is a little more as this is when we must submit our next draft – the one everybody will be able to get access to and comment upon. The science isn’t going to stop from now until AR4 comes out in early 2007, so we are going to have to add in relevant new and important papers. I hope it is up to us to decide what is important and new. So, unless you get something to me soon, it won’t be in this version. It shouldn’t matter though, as it will be ridiculous to keep later drafts without it. We will be open to criticism though with what we do add in subsequent drafts. Someone is going to check the final version and the Aug 12 draft.
This is partly why I’ve sent you the rest of this email. IPCC, me and whoever will get accused of being political, whatever we do.
As you know, I’m not political. If anything, I would like to see the climate change happen, so the science could be proved right, regardless of the consequences. This isn’t being political, it is being selfish.
Cheers
Phil

.. bad news, the “scientists†were all wrong.
