With the explosion of ClimateGate, who better to tell the truth about the global warming hysteria than Ian Plimer (see below). Mr. Plimer’s schedule should be booked for the next year if anyone is truly serious about getting to the truth and bypassing politics to see the real science and the actual data.

Cap-and-Trade, it’s next on the list so lets start thinking about it now. For an excellent background see Could Australia Blow Apart the Great Global Warming Scare? and A Tax on Thin Air.

These two links concern what happened in Australia. Ian Plimer’s book Heaven and Earth, Global Warming: The Missing Science, is a blockbuster that explodes the global warming myth. It turned the tide in Australia. I am sending a copy to my Representative and Senators. The more books we can send the better. Call your Senator and Representative and demand that Ian Plimer be allowed to testify in front of the Congress. The country deserves a balanced debate on the issue.

Anyone remember the television series Jericho? This show was about a devastating nuclear terrorist attack on the US (multiple cities) and one small Kansas town dealing with the aftermath. The show promoted family values, the power of communities, and the harsh reality that millions of Americans would face if such an event were to ever occur.” I loved the show and so did millions of others. When CBS decided to cancel the show, a grassroots movement began to keep the show on the air. The campaign involved sending crates of nuts to CBS. Nuts you say? Why would anyone possibly want to do that?

In the final episode of “Jericho,” the town is under siege from a neighboring community.

When asked to surrender, lead character Jake Green, played by Skeet Ulrich, has a one-word response: “Nuts.”

The response is in reference to Gen. Anthony McAuliffe, a U.S. Army general who in World War II was surrounded by Germans demanding his surrender.

His response: “Nuts.”

The campaign worked and a second season was aired. Ian Plimer’s book is our “nuts” campaign, as in your nuts if you think we are going to buy into this hype and pseudo-science. In a “this would be funny if it were not so serious moment”, Ian Plimer exposes one of the climate experts referenced in the International Panel on Climate Change as – you’re not going to believe this – an expert in fossil faeces. It’s like asking the weatherman on your local TV channel to perform your colonoscopy. Somebody’s getting it in the end and I think it’s supposed to be us – but not anymore. Australia did it and so can we.

The previous strategy would make a huge difference in turning the tide against global warming hysteria and could stop cap-and-trade dead in its tracks. Ian Plimer’s book that blows the lid off the man-made Global Warming myth and does such a good job that the book changed the mind of a leading global warming hysteric – Paul Sheehan (see his comments below). It changed the course of the debate in Australia and lead to the death of climate change legislation as the tide turned in public opinion.

One of the most remarkable changes brought about by Plimer’s book occurred on April 13, when leading global warming hysteric Paul Sheehan—who writes for the main Sydney newspaper, the Sydney Morning Herald, which has done as much to hype the threat of global warming as any Australian newspaper—reviewed Plimer’s book and admitted he was taken aback. He describes Plimer, correctly, as “one of Australia’s foremost Earth scientists,” and praised the book as “brilliantly argued” and “the product of 40 years’ research and breadth of scholarship.” What does Plimer’s book say? Here is Sheehan’s summary:

Much of what we have read about climate change, [Plimer] argues, is rubbish, especially the computer modeling on which much current scientific opinion is based, which he describes as “primitive.”…

The Earth’s climate is driven by the receipt and redistribution of solar energy. Despite this crucial relationship, the sun tends to be brushed aside as the most important driver of climate. Calculations on supercomputers are primitive compared with the complex dynamism of the Earth’s climate and ignore the crucial relationship between climate and solar energy.

To reduce modern climate change to one variable, CO2, or a small proportion of one variable—human-induced CO2—is not science. To try to predict the future based on just one variable (CO2) in extraordinarily complex natural systems is folly.

In response, this is Sheehan’s conclusion: “Heaven and Earth is an evidence-based attack on conformity and orthodoxy, including my own, and a reminder to respect informed dissent and beware of ideology subverting evidence.” This cannot be interpreted as anything but a capitulation. It cedes to the global warming rejectionists the high ground of being “evidence-based,” and it accepts the characterization of the global warming promoters as dogmatic conformists.

It is time to stop the nonsense of wealth distribution in the guise of a scientific farce visited upon the American people by psuedo-science. It is time to open the curtain and take a peak at the real agenda of global warming fear mongers.
