On the pretext of saving the planet from man-made Global Warming (AGW), the sovereign nations of the earth, came very close to ceding enormous power to some remote UN bureaucrats. The fact that these same governments (on our behalf) had already delegated the 'due diligence' for this signatory coup, to the coup leaders,which seems to have escaped the MSM and our own governments, says something for the lack of évidence based public policy making, world wide.

I was present at the first Climate Commission public hearing in Geelong in Victoria Australia last year. I managed to ask Prof Wil Steffon, "..which particular reputably published, peer reviewed paper, convinced him that human carbon dioxide emissions, was the major cause of any unprecedented, dangerous runnaway global warming?"

He did not answer the question other than offer oblique references to some work done over 100 years ago on the 'greenhouse effect' of CO2.

Last night I watched, with some incredulity, Prof Michael (Hockey Stick) Mann answer some 'tough' (and it seemed to me, agreed and scripted questions from Emma Alderuchi on Lateline ABC Australia); questions in support of the latest Climate Update from the Australian CSIRO/BoM 'maintaining the rage' of Climate Catastraphism.

Distilling this report down to its essentials, it seems we've had significant increases in atmospheric CO2 concentrations over thee last 15 years or so. without any detectable increase in average global temperatures....yet somehow they manage to invoke panic in the 'vibe' of this treatise.

So this brings us to our selected discussion for today being a letter from Andrew Roberts of the Galileo Movement to Greg Hunt, the shadow minister with National Australian responsibility for Climate Change Policy. I too, had much correspondence with Greg on this topic and ended with similar observations.""I always look at the evidence. Just this morning I looked at evidence from NASA which showed 150 years of change, just progressive, progressive increases."

See (here) for the extensive and detailed, scientific and politically detailed letter from Malcolm to Greg, which highlights the Australian Labor Government's expensive and soveriegnty destroying (and possibly unconstitutional) folly along with some in the Opposition's complicity in ignoring the science in this AGW scam. This total lack of 'due diligence' by those memerized or corrupted by this misanthropic 'faith' gives us pause....and leads us to wonder how history will view this unscientific 'scam'.

Malcolm to Greg:Your words seem to reveal what I conclude is your deep ignorance, weakness or possible dishonesty. You are highly educated. You are a lawyer. Do you really believe your words would stand in court as evidence that human production of carbon dioxide, CO2 caused Earth’s latest modest global ATMOSPHERIC warming that ended around 1998?"

With the recent release of the Brisbane Floods Inquiry, it is perhaps timely to reflect on some comments made at the time by those who tend towards alarming the public about Global Warming being blamed for and causing everything bad, that Tony Abbott is not.

Lord Monckton wrote this paper discussing Senator Bob Brown's comments at the time.

When Lord Monckton published his understanding of what the Copenhagen Treaty really meant in his Minnisota Peroration (see here) insofar as governments around the world agreeing to cede powers to the Climate Change Regulating Class in the form of a world government (or as we have defined the Regulating Class here as the Anointed) he managed to achieve the impossible and foil or at least postpone, a coup as described below. Lord Monckton was highlighting the absence of the word democracy in the Copenhagen Treaty in contravension of the Lord Monckton Foundation's aim to, ".... take every measure that may be necessary to restore the primacy and use of reason in science and public policy worldwide, especially insofar as they may bear upon the rights of the people fairly and fully to be informed, openly and freely to debate, and secretly by ballot to decide who shall govern them, what laws they shall live by and what imposts they shall endure."

Who Are You Going To Believe—The Government Climate Scientists or Your Own Lying Eyes? —and they strongly support the theory. Many people simply cannot get past the fact that nearly all the authority figures believe the theory. To these people the data is simply irrelevant. (see here for full essay)   

The climate models are incompatible with the data. You cannot believe both the theory of dangerous manmade global warming and the data, because they cannot both be right.

In science, data trumps theory. If data and theory disagree, as they do here, people of a more scientific bent go with the data and scrap the theory.

But in politics we usually go with authority figures, who in this case are the government climate scientists and the western governments

UPDATE - SEE BELOW FOR COMMENT

We will discuss the findings of the Finklestein review shortly. The review has recommendations which many see as creating too big a role for government in 'managing' freedom of speech in Australia (See report here).

The Lord Monckton Foundation sees 'freedom of speech' and sees government as being answerable to the people (and not the other way round) as fundamental as can be seen from this excerpt from our vision/charter, "The Lord Monckton Foundation shall conduct research, publish papers, educate students and the public and take every measure that may be necessary to restore the primacy and use of reason in science and public policy worldwide, especially insofar as they may bear upon the rights of the people fairly and fully to be informed, openly and freely to debate, and secretly by ballot to decide who shall govern them, what laws they shall live by and what imposts they shall endure." (see full charter here)

In the meantime, you might like to:

a) Review Lord Monckton in action at the National Press Club Luncheon in Canberra in July 2011.

b) Read one of Mark Steyn's illuminating and funny (if it wasn't so serious) articles from the Australian newpaper.

See article 'Using rights to gag free speech' (here) 

UPDATE

You will find below over 200 quotes from senior scientists indicating that there is far from a consensus when it comes to climate science and that there is no such thing as 'consensus science'. The great Michael Crighton once said,

"...regard 'consensus science' as an extremely pernicious development that ought to be stopped cold in its tracks. Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had......Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Science, on the contrary, requires only one investigator who happens to be right, which means that he or she has results that are verifiable by reference to the real world. In science consensus is irrelevant. What are relevant are reproducible results. The greatest scientists in history are great precisely because they broke with the consensus. There is no such thing as consensus science. If it’s consensus, it isn’t science. If it's science, it isn't consensus. Period."

These quotes were kindly put together by the No Carbon Tax Climate Sceptics Party and form an interesting sample of the counter consensus of scientists attempting to practice science.

THE VISCOUNT MONCKTON OF BRENCHLEY 

SPEAKING TOUR OF US AND CANADA

Test Initial Draft Blog

Were it not for the founding principles of our western, rational, democratic traditions, where the scientific method and the application of reason and logic and entrepreneurial insight has provided us with the fruits of the most successful civilization in history, we would not have the time, resources and freedoms to ponder our existence.

Under these blessed conditions some still conspire to improve their position in their zero sum game, by playing on people's guilt, vanity and other human weaknesses, by undermining and whiteanting the very foundations of these valuable western tradtions which provide them with the time and resources to play their power games and run their scams.

Consequently, examples abound, where, under the pretext of saving or improving something, and in the determined absence or distortion of the application of reason and logic (and the scientific method), people's emotions are manipulated to their detriment, often with unintended, unforeseen and disastrous consequences.

There are those among us who feel so sure of their Anointed status, who from their 'we know best' vantage point feel compelled beyond reason and even evidence to the contrary to rearrange other people's lives in accordance with their worldview.

The only way these power games and scams can remain in play is where people are not equipped with the tools to recognise the fallacies of logic or absence of evidence; or where people practice a wilful blindness where they accrue some perceived benefit by going along with the dominant meme or zeitgeist.

One such questionable shibboleth is the notion that human carbon dioxide emissions is the 'major cause' of 'unprecedented, dangerous, runnaway global warming' which is now 'worse than we originally thought'.

The Lord Monckton Foundation exists to counter this unquestioning irrational acceptance and shall therefore conduct research, publish papers, educate students and the public and take every measure that may be necessary to restore the primacy and use of reason in science and public policy worldwide, especially insofar as they may bear upon the rights of the people fairly and fully to be informed, openly and freely to debate, and secretly by ballot to decide who shall govern them, what laws they shall live by and what imposts they shall endure.
