EverGreens: After Failure, Warmists Will Change Hats And Move On
First, some good news.
A lefty organization sent me an indignant press release stating that the Danish police have “aggressed on protesters outside the Bella Center.” By this, they mean that the agitants, who moments before were shouting “Push the police away!,” were physically held back from entering an already crowded room.
It is true that it is depressing to see the heretofore useful word aggression turned into another mouth-numbing verb. But it’s heartening to hear that a group of professional whiners were told “No.” True to form, when turned away the perpetually petulant started screaming “Rights!,” by which they mean, as they always do, “My desires, not yours.”
And can it be a coincidence that we now hear from Russia — the land where the Climategate emails were first posted — accusations that the Hadley Climate Research Unit fiddled Siberian temperature data? The charge is that scientists only considered stations which showed warming, and tossed those which did not fit their preconceptions.
What makes this delicious is that the stations Hadley chose had large chunks of missing data, and the stations ignored had uninterrupted records. This makes sense: it’s easier to homogenize data that isn’t there. The explanations to come will no doubt provide for some light comedy.
The best news of all are the rumors that “progress has been halting” in Copenhagen. The word stalemate is showing up with increasing frequency in news reports.
Government ministers can’t agree on the best way to take money from their own citizens, give it to an opaque, above-the-law organization, and yet still control it; because, of course, with all that money comes power. Negotiators are skittish about how they can ensure that the money pledged will actually be paid into the pot, and if it does, who gets to dole out the funds. Everybody wants a piece of it, but nobody trusts anybody.
However, I believe this is only a spate of temporary sanity.
The forces of darkness will realize that some deal is better than no deal. Lord Monckton, on a guest appearance on the Glenn Beck program a month ago, had it right. He predicted the early stalemate, but said it would end at the last possible minute, after an all-hours marathon session:
From which the bureaucrats would emerge, their ties over their heads, where they will announce, “We’ve done it. We’ve come to an agreement.”
The anointed one Al Gore has promised us that all the Arctic ice will be gone by 2014.
I plan to water ski from Alaska to China and open up a new world shipping lane for imports.
The Chinese will be able to ship cars, food, and plastic lead filled toys and milk across the top of the world in hours instead of days.
This will enable them to buy all of our debts and we can buy all their plastic imports,
most of which can then be burned or dumped into the Pacific ocean off the coast of California.
‘Al Gore for Lord Mayor of Copenhagen!’
Life is Good and Green.
When Rachel Carson’s water didn’t run out by 1964, Paul Erlich shouted “Look over here at Ozone”.
When the Ozone layer closed by itself (since shown to be cyclic) even before R12 and Fleurocaron got profitably (for him) retooled, the whole chorus sang “Ooops! Look over there. It’s Global Cooling.”
When it looked like a warming cycle instead, they all screamed, “Look over there, it’s Global WARMING!”
When it’s equivocal they shout “Climate Change” to win either way.
Time again for the “Population Bomb” — I’ll bet real money on it (not US dollars).
Certainly hope Monckton is wrong and the Copenhagen “deal” never comes to fruition. Here’s another person’s take on how China, India and Russia could really take advantage of the Copenhagen mess —-

Remember:
The issue is never the issue.
The issue is control.
Communism never died, it morphed into eco-marxism and closer to home ACORN. These pseudo-scientist/liberal muppets can be caught with their drawers down and or abetting an underage prostitution ring and they will never admit wrong-doing. The leftard just isn’t wired that way. Their collective dissonance and dishonest cunning is too great. They strive to positions of public power, not to serve us, but to move the goal posts at all times while they go about defrauding as many people and institutions as possible (in the name of humanity). In the long run they bankrupt and ruin everything they set their sights on. The msm is destitute as it is complicit too. Swindlers all round.
Those who peddle the propaganda that humans have the most influence over climate will continue to tread the path trod by the Ceausescu’s. Now, I am not advocating that the propagandists be placed in front of firing squads, but they will continue to maintain
they are right until they breathe their last. Just like Mengele.
The third world countries must have used their last financial aid package to graduate from the Jesse Jackson School of Shake Down. The $100 billion price tag is supposed to be good for their silence on their lack of pollution progress while exploiting the gold mine of the rich industial society’s guilt. How deep is that supply of guilt dollars?
The cheering section comes from the self-imposed victim mind-set of hurricane Katrina, when in choir they chant the shake down theme, “You didn’t do enough for us soon enough, pay me, pay me, pay me.”
Every cloud has a silver lining
In this case, HCR looks like losing
because the CongressCritters look like
the AGW agitators: Incompetent, crooked,
smoke-and-mirrors, hand-waving con artists.
The same CC then tries to pass Cap-and-Trade.
Lots of luck with that; “You want _how_much_
money for a program which is going to cost
_how_many_ jobs in the manufacturing economy,
and raise the price of power by _how_much_ ?!?
Mr. Briggs – I hope Viscount Monckton (for whom I have great respect) is wrong on this one. According to Jen Rubin, over at Commentaries Contentions, China is not willing to cut a deal. If that continues, we can hope there will be no deal. BTW I still find it unblievable that the British and Australian PMs can continue to blather (as they did yesterday) about saving humanity from tautological climate change (equivalent to saving me from the sun’s rising in the morning). Don’t know about the fraud and charlantanry from the East Anglia CRU?
Also – I agree with the sentiments of commenters 1 through 8, the only ones who have commented as I write this.
A lefty organization sent me an indignant press release stating that the Danish police have “aggressed on protesters outside the Bella Center.”
They oughta be shot for “aggressed” alone. Wackos, in the spirit of sounding scholarly/ostentatious, perverting the language again.
Lord Monckton, on a guest appearance on the Glenn Beck program a month ago, had it right. He predicted the early stalemate, but said it would end at the last possible minute, after an all-hours marathon session:
Effing terrific. All kinds of heavyweights (as in albatrosses) from around the planet, including Nancy P, Barack and even Ahnald from CA are going to show up tomorrow, Friday.
I would imagine that some sort of deal has been pre-arranged (Barry’s not gonna have a 2nd Copenhagen débacle) some big BS announcement that will, of course, include payments of the “developed world” to the “underdeveloped world” (Mugabe et al. are rubbing their hands together in anticipation of the additional cash infusion). The room cheered when Oogoe Chavez shouted “down with capitalism” yesterday.
Beam me up, Scottie.
Time again for the “Population Bomb” — I’ll bet real money on it (not US dollars).
John Holdren, Cass Sunstein…who else ? the name escapes…are already dreaming up a scheme for we the American peeps like China’s “one child” policy
Resurrecting Paul Ehrlich, with whom Holdren actually authored a book in the 70′s.
The author’s thesis here is absolutely correct, whatever else happens and whatever discredited “warmism” morphs into, while they old “da powah” these people will never give up trying something, anything, everything to impose their radical and outrageous ideas onto the population at large in the name of control.
It’s gonna be a very long 3 years.
It appears to have morphed into a save the rainforests campaign.
Slightly off topic – but apparently the East Anglia CRU cherry picked the weather stations in Siberia as well. Check this out:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/jamesdelingpole/100020126/climategate-goes-serial-now-the-russians-confirm-that-uk-climate-scientists-manipulated-data-to-exaggerate-global-warming/
This is good for laughs – The Gore effect has struck Copenhagen. They’re having a blizzard, and the first white Christmas in 14 years. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601130&sid=a5wStc0K6jhY
“Just as the Copenhagen climate summit appeared to be on the verge of unraveling, the United States Thursday announced its support of an annual $100 billion climate protection fund…”
Here ya go, another $100 billion down the drain…
$100B climate fund to help developing countries: Hillary Clinton
The finances will reportedly be raised partially by taxing aviation and shipping, as proposed by the European Union.
This will help the agenda of Oogoe & friends (many Oogoe sympathizers around Barack) to kill capitalism.
Blizzard in Copenhagen, I hope it keeps up for tomorrow
The EU is a microcosm of the one-world nirvana all leftists dream of–a floating international government with virtually no ties to the people it lords over with utter contempt. Europe is actually becoming dangerous and we may one day have to deal with them–that is, if the breeding populations of Islam don’t take it over from the inside, first.
” . . . because, of course, with all that money comes power. Negotiators are skittish about how they can ensure that the money pledged will actually be paid into the pot, and if it does, who gets to dole out the funds. Everybody wants a piece of it, but nobody trusts anybody.”
Ah yes, Chicago organized crime at a global level; Climate Change as a racket for global protection money. No wonder the Obamanation is going as the star speaker. We may have won against Russian Communism, but we are losing to Global Communism. Maybe the majority of people really don’t want freedom because I can’t think of ANY place (U.S. included) where it exists anymore. The second Dark Ages have arrived in the name of so-called Science. Joseph Stalin and Goebbels would be proud.
I’m afraid that’s completely right. You can see the beginnings of the morph already. Now they’re talking about black carbon and cow farts. Eventually, the central issue will be fresh water. And as always, the narrative will be that some in the world are haves, and some have nots.
It’ll be interesting to see how they spin the tropics as water have nots.
BTW – I think this story @ WUWT is going to be another silver spike.
My God..My God..Have they forgotten the blind llamas? The poor creatures
in Patagonia whose retinas were damaged by the Ozone Hole over Antartica…are they to be abandoned?
The conference in Copenhagen is a farce at best and a fraud at worst. Global warming is based on the premise that a minuscule increase in CO2 will cause a runaway greenhouse effect. This being the case, please explain when the planets atmosphere was all CO2 why this did not happen? Pacific coral Atolls going under? Please explain how coral grows above sea level? Ozone Hole? If CFC is the culprit, please explain why there is no hole over the artic? Or is air conditioner use constrained to the south pole? We have spent billions if not trillions on every manufactured crisis the green team cooks up. We have lost jobs and manufacturing in the US due to EPA rules and regulations. We cannot drill for our own oil and gas due to these idiots. Windmills? The same idiots that say we should build them complain that they kill birds or obscure the view from cape cod. Enough already!! we have no money to spend on crackpot schemes. even less to turn over to regimes that have a proven track record of corruption. These idiots have cost us enough in time and money.
From your link #18
I believe this is a really important point in all the climate crapola (and “science” in general today), often overlooked or ignored.
Loosely translated, if it ain’t “elegant” and convoluted, it can’t be right.
“There seems to be great reluctance to consider the possibility that these computerized prophets of doom, which have required so many scientists and so much money and so many years to develop, could be wrong. I come along with an extremely simple climate model that explains the behavior of the satellite data in details that are beyond even what has been done with the complex climate models…and then the more complex models are STILL believed because…well…they’re more complex.”
So much for Occam’s Razor.
Let’s keep things in perspective. If computer models were good enough to project global temperatures within a fraction of a degree, the problem of predicting the stock market with any kind of precision would have already been solved, because trading shares is far simpler than accounting for what clouds, ocean currents, sun spots and a million other factors are likely to do to the climate now and then, hither and yon.
By the way, if some giant leap in computer modeling was going to deprive the stock market of its capacity to surprise us, should we wish to know exactly everything about next year’s weather as well? No surprise in crops, no commodity market either! Not so good for Chicago, I suppose.
The urgency to manufacture some man-made object of fear depends on how hard one wishes for personal triumph over the fear of God. Al Gore will be remembered for trying to metamorphose himself into a technological prophet, at least when Viscount Monckton receives recognition proportional to his exercise of healthy skepticism, and prophetic powers are not required to predict this.
I’m hoping the investigation into the CRU information is valid.
Unlike the sloppiness of Kenneth Starr’s, ‘Vince Foster investigation’.
It’s a quagmire and they do not have a damned exit strategy. Where is John Kerry when you need him?!?
It doesn’t matter what Hillary promises; she has no authority to back that promise up. It requires 67 votes in the Senate to ratify a treaty, and they don’t have the votes. And you know what else? There is no nuclear option for treaty ratification- a 2/3 supermajority is required by the Constitution.
I’m an optimist. This year is certainly shaping up to be very cool. I live in Northern California and we had a cold snap last week where it was 25 degrees F. We haven’t been that cold since 1990. This past summer was also cooler as well. This may be the start of a cooling trend that cannot be denied by the average citizen. This year may end climate change hype in the eyes of the average citizen and further erode the credibility of the liberal whack jobs that have been proclaiming climate catastrophe.
Additionally since Obama was elected, the left has really overreached on all fronts and scared most reasonable folks in this country. Support, for Obama, and the leftwing agenda, is diving fast and I sincerely think that people are beginning to wake up. They now know his administration governs nothing like they were led to believe by the media over the last couple of years.
The good news in all this is that the main stream media outlets are being shown for the partisans that they are. Their credibility with reasonable citizens is beginning to be questioned. Thank god for the internet and sites like this who attempt to tell the truth. As the general population becomes more computer comfortable, control of the media will become that much more difficult. Now days the truth always gets out, you just have to look for it.
I guess my point is that when the Warmists change hats and move on, it will be much harder for them sell their BS. Unfortunately, most Americans don’t have the time or inclination to research the accuracy of the news they are fed. This is still a big problem, but I do believe, that most Americans are finally catching a clue about the agenda of the MSM being. Readership/viewership of MSM news papers, magazines and TV networks are all on the decline. When I was younger I never thought to question the credibility of a Walter Cronkite or a Dan Rather. When Walter said “that’s the way it is,” it never entered my mind that it “wasn’t that way at all.” I think those days are finally gone for good now. The climate change scam will really leave a mark on the lefty agenda.
Like governments, conference minutes are great at telling us what they did, but not what they did not do.
Lamentably, what you say is too true. Combating liberalism and the environmental left is kind of like playing whack-a-mole for real. You just have to stay at it though.
They’re a bunch of ignorant wakos,liberal idiots.
Viscount Monckton and Mr. Briggs are absolutely correct. The organizers of Copenhagen will, like the organizers of Kyoto, declare it a great success, and the Inconveniently Delusional will go right on rahming its “declarations” into law and job-improvement achievement for an already bloated “Green” bureaucracy. Who cares that Kyoto was totally ineffective, the U.S.A. the only nation to try to apply it, even if it never signed. We must save our fragile planet.
We are now living in a world where a high percentage of the ruling elite are dedicate to a single-party global governance. The French and Germans and other Europeans rejected rule by the European Union, but on it rolls on, unconcerned by its popular rejection, kow-towed to by President Pansy, attempting to make this sovereign nation accede to a Socialist-conceived “international Law”.
We are a people at risk, today, not just from an Administration dedicated to destroying capitalist freedoms and our Constitutional laws, and from open declaration of war from a Terrorist-sponsoring primitive religion, but also from an arrogant body of unelected socialist twits. All these enemies – for such they truly are – of the principles of governance and moral society that have brought us to preeminence, are committed essentially to destroying our power.
What about the “fragile planet” crap. The supreme idiocy of this “Climate Change” campaign is the notion that mankind, or anything we can accomplish with hour “advanced technology” , can have any effect whatsoever on the climate. Why do people who can’t even prevent the oceans’ erosions, or control lightning storms or divert hurricanes, conclude that reducing the levels of a trace gas by miniscule fractions can have any measurable influence over the immeasurable powers of our solar system, our galaxy, our universe? The Gods are laughing.
There’s an old British song, directed at such hubris: “Sing, boys, sing, we’re just a bunch of King Canutes”. As that savvy old Norse king of what is now England demonstrated to his sycophants over a thousand years ago, no human force can alter the tides – or change the climate. The data simply does not exist that could permit, even the most honest effort, a projection of global climate changes even forty ears out with a 50% chance of near accuracy.
/why should those so dumb that they “forecast” climate out one century while totally ignoring the long record of solar and oceanic cycles in their calculations, be entitled to anything but contempt?
Copenhagen should be labeled the “Chicken Little Summit”.
The Dollars for Weather Control project will make the Oil for Food racket look like a 7-year old kid’s sidewalk lemonade stand.
The negotiators can throw their ties over their heads and barrel through all the midnight marathons they want. I believe that through sheer fear of the consequences, the American Congress will save the world (or at least the Americans) from this madness.
I’m a ranch manager with 19,000 acres to look after in Texas. We lease most of the acreage out to hunters. This pays the bills. As in the 29 electric meters we have. It also insures the deer do not go through the normal starvation/over abundance cycle, keeps the feral hog population in check and the hunters provide eyes and ears where we can not be nearly often enough.
It occurs to me that managing wildlife is a lot like managing a planet. Once you have enough people you have to start thinking about keeping things in balance. The greenie huggers idea of balancing things is to kill off most of us humans so ‘nature’ can do its thing. Right.
What’s the point? Are we the crown of creation or just a virus needing eradication? OK so forget about the whole creation thing. Are we the apex of the Darwinian construct? Are we not in possession of the largest brain/body weight crown? Are we not the best that nature has yet produced?
We deserve our space. Nature demands it. And so since we are the baddest M F ers in the Congo Land we get to decide how the game is played. No?
Not for the left. They want to make up the rules of the game as they go along … as per their own insane anti-nature, anti-common sense, anti-human ideas.
Stupid panty-waist little pukes. We need a world-wide conflagration to sift out this chaff.
Great article and comments. The marxist streaming media is sickening. This is an endless war against socialist control freaks.
They purposely turn off the water in the central valley of California to protect some insignificant, non-native fish, and then they blame the lack of water on Global Warming. Makes perfect liberal sense. And then they call us the idiots.
Update Looks like we’re right on the first prediction.
Very true indeed. These people would sell their own family for money
Why would a Middle Eastern kingdom be funding a British Climate research business?
Oman has just completed a massive investment in LNG, and developed and installed new CO2 removal technology in their process; this lowers the carbon footprint of their gas. So using their gas to drive electricity generation will be less costly once CO2 is taxed.
They have no problem with this whole thing.
Saudi Arabia, who have oil and not so much gas, are in a different position, they have a problem with this whole thing.
Just an observation; a 4 degree rise in temperature in the Sultanate of Oman or Saudi
Arabia would change it from really hot to really hot.
Maybe it is just good business.

Oman LNG L.L.C

The Climate Research Unit (CRU) in the UK was set up in 1971 with funding from Shell and BP as is described in the book: “The history of the University of East Anglia, Norwich; Page 285)” By Michael Sanderson. The CRU was still being funded in 2008 by Shell, BP, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate and UK Nirex LTD (the nuclear waste people in the UK)
This is important to know, for two reasons.
Firstly, the key institution providing support for Global Warming theories and the basis for the IPCC findings receives funding from “Big Oil” and the nuclear power industry.
Secondly, the research from the institution which is perceived to be independent publicly funded research, is actually beholden to soft money, CRU is in fact a business.
The funders of the CRU are on the bottom of this page from their website:
http://web.archive.org/web/20080627194858/http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/about/history/
So, there a business set up in the early 1970′s, so what?
I thought that this might explain a bit about how we got to where we are. I am not a conspiracy theorist but to me it looks like this may have been a very, very long term plan. Of course it could all just be coincidental, but it does seem to fit the observable information.
A few weeks ago I explained the apparent CRU fraud to a friend of mine, a believer in AGW; he said ‘Why would they do it?’ I indicated the Jones had received 22 million, etc, but he countered, ‘For a fraud this large, going on for this long, there would have to be billions of dollars to be made, not millions’. That made sense.
So I looked into it a bit. First this is no short term thing, it covers two or three decades, involves many countries and government on both sides of the isle, the US alone has had 4 different presidents and the UK a similar number of prime ministers, Canada the same. So is it not political in the partisan sense of the word.
If, and this is a big if, you make the assumption that the objectives were:
1. Provide a smooth replacement of the use of oil in power generation and transportation, so as to avoid a panic over Peak Oil.
2. Get people to buy into Nuclear Power so that base load electrical power generation would not consume the available fossil fuel supply.
3. Get the people to really want to pay for it all.
Note: The IEA put a date on peak oil production THIS WEEK, so if the CO2 scare does not pan out they are already starting to put the ‘Peak Oil’ story into play. It is also the 2020 date, why am I not surprised.
http://www.economist.com/businessfinance/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15065719
Then the following is not unbelievable.
The newer scrubber technology for coal fired plants was moving along well back then, and in fact today their scrubbers can remove pretty much everything except CO2. However there is really not much money in coal, it is abundant, easy to handle, local in most instance to the base load demand for electricity, and a coal fired power plant is not much more complicated, or expensive, then a good steam engine.
Since there was not enough money in coal it would not be financially rewarding to simply try to promote coal as a replacement for oil.
So they looked at the situation and realized that the difference between the different technologies to replace base load power generation was the amount of CO2 per kilowatt/hour.
At that point CO2 became the target. That happened sometime between 1985 and 1988.
Now, the environmental movement is comprised mostly of followers, you can look up ‘dihydrogen monoxide’ (water), on many occasions at environmental conferences comedians and light news organizations have managed to get lots of environmentalists to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide. So apparently they do not do a lot of independent analysis before making a conclusion, they are mostly followers.
So if you need a large number of followers, there is a ready supply, but you need people, a few leaders, to tell the followers what to think. The followers do not need to, or perhaps even want to, know the reason or the facts; they just need something or someone to follow.
Now you gain control of a climate research business, and begin the task of demonizing CO2, you realize that it will take years but that is OK, there are billions of dollars waiting at the end. Slowly over time you manage to get control of the worlds climate data and begin adjusting it, you use what you have been told by the marketing people to present the information needed in as clear and scary manager as is possible. Remember the two biggest motivators are fear and greed, and in this case, because of the number of followers greed will not work. There are simply too many followers to pay them all off.
So there we have it, a campaign of fear, based on non-science emanating from a few leaders that ultimately drive the followers to do something that would just not have been possible after Three Mile Island.
They are marching in the streets of Copenhagen in support of nuclear power. They do not know this of course, but that is what the plan on the table says. Check it out, look at exactly what are the big technologies being pushed at the summit. I will give you a hint, it is not windmills.
They are also marching in Copenhagen against big business, while supporting one of the biggest businesses possible, the World Bank. Is it not strange that the Dutch Text looks to have the World Bank control the trillions being put on the table? So they are marching against exactly what they are supporting, they are simply followers.
Perhaps you can fill in the blanks between the possible objectives I mentioned earlier and where we find ourselves today. Fill in the blanks, connect the dots and follow the money. Look at the funders, how many are involved in delivery, support, financing and maintenance of the movement of liquid energy and the generation of nuclear power.
I do not think this was ever about the environment.
There are lots of other things that may tie into this, like GE buying and now selling a
TV network, they needed then but do not need it now, a bit of a stretch perhaps but GE is a big player in gas and nuclear power generation. Look around, there are others.
That said; I do believe that the world does need to move to nuclear power for base load power generation, and I do believe that the Peak Oil problem is a real threat to stability.
So I agree with the objectives and encourage the outcome, I just do not like them messing with the science and trying, nay succeeding, in conning the masses to agree to it all.
Perhaps there was someone inside the CRU that felt the same way; the means were wrong regardless of the merits of the objectives, so they let slip the package in the hope that someone could figure out what they could not just come out and say publicly.
This thing would not need thousands of scientists to be involved. All that was need was for one or two people in perhaps five or six countries to adjust the raw data. Anyone using the data when making a comparison to CO2 would find the results that had been seeded into the data. The scientists would not be aware that they were being played. They would honestly think that their conclusions were correct. Only none of their predictions would ever be confirmed.
All the papers that used the data, and all the papers that used those papers for support, would therefore be invalid. In the vast majority of the cases I would expect that the authors are without blame, they made no mistake. The mistake was encoded into the base data before they even started.
Only the ones that actually were in control of the raw data and making the ‘adjustments’ needed to know of the exact requirements of the adjustment needed to seed the outcome into the data. When a scientist begins to say things like “the data must be wrong”, or “our monitoring is deficient”, perhaps they might not have been in on the ‘adjustments’ and they are likely frustrated because their model ‘works’ for the past and recent past. Think “We can’t explain the lack of warming”, perhaps the author of that email could not, but perhaps someone else could.
It would only have taken a dozen people in just the right places, and remember it took years to pull this off.
So who might have put these people in just the right place all those years ago, and why?
AGW has NEVER been concerned with climate, except for the people fooled by the AGW leadership. You know, the ones flying in private jets, driving in Limo’s. It’s about a powerful elites complete control over every aspect of the Prole’s lives. Control, control, control.
Prostitutes. They are very popular at this conference. Obama for example is moved around by a long line of Limos. They all have drivers and keep their engines running full time. The warm mongers are already talking up water, ocean acidification and other perils. Man caused fears. Most of the psychotics behind these movements are city dwellers and have no clue on the environment. They live in large buildings and travel in subways underground. Most of the world including china and India (75%) heat homes and cook food on open fires. charcoal, wood, waste and coal are used .. Many don’t even ventilate the fires.
Just where is Obama getting 100 billion dollars? Out of the hole in his ozone layer?
Andrew -
Interesting piece. I was not aware of the history behind the founding of the CRU but your descriptions of the ‘followers’ involved is entirely apt.
“Now, the environmental movement is comprised mostly of followers, you can look up ‘dihydrogen monoxide’ (water), on many occasions at environmental conferences comedians and light news organizations have managed to get lots of environmentalists to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide. So apparently they do not do a lot of independent analysis before making a conclusion, they are mostly followers.”
I think the term is “useful idiots”.
