Climate Change is One of the Greatest Propaganda Campaigns in World History

Stephen Moore: Climate Change 'One of Greatest Propaganda Campaigns in World History’--'Very Stalinistic'

June 9, 2016

CNS NEWS - Commenting on the Obama administration’s high-pressure offensive to address global warming, leading economist and author Stephen Moore said it is “amazing” because this “dingbat idea of global climate change” is “one of the greatest propaganda campaigns in world history” executed by the political left.

During a June 3 radio interview on the nationally syndicated Janet Mefferd Today show, Moore, the founder of the Club for Growth and a former Wall Street Journal editorial board member, said, “It’s really amazing, I have to say. I have to tip my hat to the left: This has been one of the greatest propaganda campaigns in world history that the left has pulled off.”
“I mean, they’ve taken this dingbat idea of global climate change and they’ve put it in the schools, they’ve put it in the movies, they’ve put it in the media and the churches — you know, I’m Catholic, even the Pope talks about climate change,” said Moore, co-author of Fueling Freedom: Exposing the Mad War on Energy.

“So, it’s very alarming how this propaganda campaign, that they made this stuff out of, almost completely out of thin air, and they’ve convinced millions and millions of thought leaders that this stuff is real,” said Moore, who is the Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Heritage Foundation’s Project for Economic Growth.
Host Janet Mefferd then said,
“And when you look at some of the statements of people at the U.N., for example – I’m just thinking of this off the top of my head -- they have no problems with things like population control. They don’t have any problem with that. So, you might make the leap in logic that if people were harmed and/or starved to death, eh, would they [climate change activists] really mind because it’s betterment of the planet, I suppose?”

  1. AGW is NOT science. It IS about money. So, yeah, he is correct.

    They pulled this one off with little resistance.

    If you don't go to church, you need to believe in something and so many have taken the easy route to the religion of climate change. If you don't believe in something, you will fall for anything.

    Mix in a little research Lee. You might learn something - like how the sun plays a part in our climate too. Man made climate change is minuscule by comparison. Climate change is all about envy and politicians (who produce nothing) have found a way to tax people, transfer wealth and get rich. It is the biggest scam perpetrated on man.

    Researchers have never stopped believing that even small changes in solar activity can impact Earth's climate in significant and surprisingly complex ways. Its also well known the sun has multi-year phases with either reduced solar activity or heightened solar activity with corresponding changes in the climate. NASA data tracked a 15 year long cooling trend up to a couple of years ago when the high priests of global warming wiped clean years of NASA data and replaced it with their own numbers not associated with anything but the reality they've been preaching. Yeah, the new science. LOL

    Two things have changed over the last century. Clear cutting as you state, but also the "urban effect" where the cement of cities absorbs heat. Just look at temperature maps in the nightly local news. In Dallas for instance, temperatures are always about 4 to 5 degrees warmer in the city versus 30 or 40 miles outside the city. All the cement of streets, parking lots and buildings absorb, hold and discharge heat. So a lot of the historic temperatures are not valid to compare.

    In the US, it is estimated that in 1630, about 46% of the land area was forested. By 1907, it had fallen to 34% mostly due to farming. The good news is that has held near constant. Sadly, this is not true in other countries.

    The only logical conclusion one can reach is hydrocarbon fuels with their abundance, availability, and wonderful properties are a gift from the Creator to mankind. Of course the anti-God establishment must try to destroy that gift.

    No...actually not. I am a geologist, and I am very aware of what past climates were like.
    I find many of the statements being spewed blindly to be factually inaccurate. Most of the claims, regarding climate history, made in Gore's documentary were misrepresentations of the truth clearly designed to influence thought.
    Are you aware, for one thing, that an ice age began with co2 levels 16 times higher than the levels we are seeing today? Furthermore, with such high co2 levels, what is amazing is the diversity of life at the time was much higher than today.
    Are you aware that as we drift into and out of glacial periods that temperatures have led co2 levels by some 800-1600 years? In other words: co2 levels have not, in the past, driven climate change. But yet, AGW proponents will attempt to use factual inaccuracies to portray co2 driven climate change as being factual.
    Are you aware that current climate science is nothing more than a failed hypothesis? If you are aware of the scientific method, you will realize that current climate science is nothing more than a constantly reworked hypothesis that has failed to satisfy the criteria needed to even begin to qualify as theory.
    Name me one (1) climate scientist that disagrees with the previous statement.
    There ain't one, Scotty!!

    Only blasphemers and heretics question the holy scrit! Those who repeat the universal canon are truly blessed as "scientists" (all peace and blessings be upon them, goddess be praised).

    Drink the Koolaid Patty... The "Scientists" who tout global warming are all feeding at the Global Warming grant trough.

    To push their fraud, liberal governments downgraded Science to level of Alchemistry. Fundamental laws of Science: Laws of Conservation of Energy and Material - are denied for Science of Heat. No wonder: to warm up of the globe on 10%, the non-existing 0.039% amount of atmospheric CO2 must provide 10% of the energy, the Earth is getting from Sun - according to middle school material, which insists, the temperature is directly proportional to energy. At same time: a single volcano Kilauea, in liberal's backyard, on Hawaii, is flowing daily around 400 000 tons of hot volcanic lava into Pacific Ocean, unstoppable for over 30 years! Since density of water is highest at 39.2 degrees Fahrenheit, the heated water sinks into ocean's deep, will be stored there for centuries to come! Ignoring such an amount of Heat to advance their fraudulent agenda, liberal governments are firmly proving: they cannot care for 'climate change', nor for 'sea level raise' less.

    Climatology is a close relative of Astrology. It is a pseudo-religion as Stephen says. About the only difference I can see is that Astrological predictions are vastly more accurate than Climatological ones.

    CO2 is necessary for all plant life on earth as plants convert CO2 to Oxygen.Yet somehow GW experts tell us we are all going to die if CO2 emissions aren't curbed.They even convinced the genius SCOTUS to declare CO2 the cause of global warming.The campaign is constant and the lies keep coming as GW advocates claim the poles are melting but never tell us its natural with cycles of the sun in its normal traverse between north and south.Summer in the northern hemisphere and its winter in the southern and vice versa.I remember in Antarctica that even when it was summer it took three ice breakers to free a ship that went down there to measure the ice they assumed would be non existent.

    Three things that made me know that AGW was becoming a giant scam. One...they started cooking the books and fudging the data to make it comply with the theory. Two...they changed the name to 'climate change' so they could claim that all bad weather events were caused by warming and, three: They are seriously trying to make it a crime to disagree with them. The last alone is proof that the warmists are liars and would happily send a SWAT team to your house for speaking out against their scam.

    CO2 absorbs a couple narrow bands of visible light which results in a tiny heating effect. There is more than enough CO2 in the atmosphere to do that function so adding CO2 does not add to the warming effect. We could 10X the CO2 concentration (as has been detected in the historical record with no evidence of global harm) and have no affect on global climate save a huge boom in plant growth. If you want to attack 'greenhouse gasses', better look at water vapor which is +97% of atmospheric greenhouse gas. Have a plan to reduce water vapor?

    I think it's time to start looking for ways to survive the changing climate instead of ways to stop it!
    The climate has been changing from the day the earth was born and it's not going to stop now; There's nothing man can do to alter the rate of change either!
    The sun is responsible for all warming and we can't alter it's intensity!

    Then we have the panic of the rising sea's due to sea ice melting, I call foul to that claim because when floating ice melts it doesn't raise the level of the water it's floating in!

    since
    density of ice is 0.9 gm/cc and that of water is 1 gm/cc, 1 /10 th of
    volume of the chunk of ice will float above the water surface.

    when all ice melts, there will be no rise in water surface.

    The world's real leading climate scientists dispute global warming. Read something else beside the tracts that the Church of Global Warming puts out. The list of actual scientists on the IPCC board is non-existent.

    It is about money. Just look at Al Gore who made $200M by touting this scam. Look at the Clinton speaking fees. Obama will get super rich when he leaves office on this scam as well. Pigs, all of them.

    UN representatives have said “One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015. So what is the goal of environmental policy? “We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.

    For those who want to believe that maybe Edenhofer just misspoke and doesn’t really mean that, consider that a little more than five years ago he also said that “the next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated.” Mad as they are, Edenhofer’s comments are nevertheless consistent with other alarmists who have spilled the movement’s dirty secret.

    Last year, Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of U.N.’s Framework Convention on Climate Change, made a similar statement. “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution,” she said in anticipation of last year’s Paris climate summit. “This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model for the first time in human history.”

    You sound like a liberal. You envy someone who is rich. You bow to the meme that we should believe the scientists and government officials because they are so much smarter than we are. You subscribe to the socialistic theory that if the right people are in charge they will fix everything. You try to squash any
    dissent.

    3 stories that disagree with AGW

    1.First is a peer-reviewed paper showing that only 36% of 1,077 geoscientists and
    engineers surveyed believe in the man-made global warming crisis as defined by the
    United Nations' Kyoto model.

    2: Greenland, the alarmists' coal-mine canary, retained 99.7% of its ice
    mass in the 20th century. Yes, it reportedly lost 9,000 billion tons of ice in the same
    period. But as the "Watts Up With That" blog notes, that's "not even a tiny nick when
    spread out over roughly 1.7 million square kilometers of ice surface" — working out to a
    sheet five meters thick on an island where the average thickness is about 1,500 meters.

    3.Finally, we have the work of the scholars at the Cato Institute, who have confirmed that climate models that warn of warming have been wrong for decades. “If the known climate behavior cannot be well-captured by the models,” they say, “no case can be made for the veracity of projections, from the same models, of the future evolution of our climate.”

    The government hath spoken, a new religion hath come forth. Prostrate thyself to global warming. Cast ye off the Gods of old. Be not the heretic. If thou repent, all will be forgiven. If ye not repent, thou will be scorned and shunned for the rest of thy days. So it is written, so it shall be done. Scribed by Fullafeces.

    Trying reading the facts as scientists who disagree with the AGW meme. Don't just read the facts that fit your assumptions. I posted a few minutes ago a partial list of scientists who don't buy into AGW.

    Several UN representatives stated the point of the man made global warming narrative is to redistribute $$$$ among the countries i.e. take from the rich give to the poor.
