Barry Brill: The overdue retraction of a giant lie

The UN has shocked the climate change community by announcing on the eve of COP27 that it now believes climate change will be only about half as bad as previously thought.

According to the report from UN Climate Change released on 26 October[1] the world is “on track for around 2.5 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century”.

The New York Times is equally shocked. In Beyond Catastrophe: New Climate Reality Is Coming Into View, the Times’ leading climate change contributor, David Walker-Wells, muses at length on all the nightmarish fears that have now been banished: 

Clive Bibby: The Science, the Scientist and the Sceptic

I don’t take kindly to being labelled a “climate change denier” simply because it isn’t true. On the other hand, l happily admit to being regarded as a “climate change sceptic” which is something else altogether.

Here are the reasons why l regard the case being made by the IPCC and other leading world authorities, trying to convince us mere mortals that we are doomed as a species and it is all our own fault, as being unproven- at least to my own satisfaction.

I believe we each have a responsibility to all mankind to seek out the truth before charging off supporting the implementation of draconian measures that could do more harm than good and more importantly, in the end be found to have been based on dodgy science.

Here goes.

NZCPR Weekly: New Zealanders Under Siege

“I support the protest 100 percent. I don't agree with you that my rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are extinguished by a government declaring a pandemic. To me those rights are absolute. If anything, I would wish the protest be more intense given the damage Parliament has inflicted on the people I love and the community of which I am a part.”

- Rodney Hide’s letter to the ACT Leader.

On January 27, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern warned New Zealand that Covid modelling predicted an explosion of Omicron cases: “The range of modelling meant that we've undertaken scenario planning for as little as 1,000 a day to over 50,000 a day. We do not know whether or not we would reach such high numbers, but we must be prepared for that based on the international evidence. The best thing we can do is act preventatively so that means get your booster...” 

Viv Forbes: Cycles, not Carbon Dioxide, Control Climate.

The war on hydro-carbon fuels will have no measurable effect on global temperatures. Nor will carbon taxes, carbon offsets or subsidies for wind turbines or solar panels. There are climate controllers far bigger than human CO2 at work.

No place on Earth lives in the mythical average global temperature. Earth’s temperature dances to cyclic rhythms every hour, every day, every month, every season, every year, and to every beat of the sun-spot and glacial cycles.

The daily cycle of Earth’s rotation causes continual changes in radiant energy received by and transmitted from every spot on Earth. It produces the cold at dawn and the afternoon warmth.
