Ian Pilmer’s book Heaven and Earth, Global Warming: The Missing Science, is a blockbuster that explodes the man-made global warming myth. It is a powerful fact-based assault on the truth challenged alarmists in our midst. After reading this book, anybody who denies the truth that global warming is not man made will rightfully be compared to a Holocaust denier. The shoe will be on the other foot.

The book turned the tide in Australia. I am sending a copy to my Representative and Senators. Tea Parties across the nation should send a copy to their Representative and Senators, perhaps even news organizations and well known alarmists. This strategy would make a huge difference in turning the tide against global warming hysteria and could stop cap-and-trade and turn all the other associated nonsense concerning global warming on its head.

One of the most remarkable changes brought about by Pilmer’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 (emphasis mine):

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.

You know, hypothesis, test, verification, repeatability. Repeat after me Mr. Chu – science is not about your opinion, it is about established facts, you know, those inconvenient truths you and the rest of the global warming empty heads are missing – in droves. Now I would not go and call you a teenager – nope, that would be to kind. A child is a better descriptive for you, Mr. Chu. Now go suck on your thumb and let the grown ups do the real work.
