Skeptical
Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg
Professor Lomborg was a statistician at Aarhus University in
Denmark and a man with rock solid credentials as a greenie. He came across a
critique of environmentalist positions and gave it to his students to refute.
They failed to his surprise and being an honest man who could not either,
wrote a book which uses government statistics to give the lie to various
people whose agendas come ahead of the truth. More people have access to good
drinking water, not fewer. The number of starving is down too, according to
the people who go there and see what is happening. He is very unpopular with
the management of the WWF [ World Wildlife Fund for Nature ]. He says in some
detail that they are liars. They could sue for libel but seem to have decided
not to. Oil is not going to run out any time soon. He tells us why not.
The numbers are out there. His position on global warming is that the case is
unproven. The Scientific American is a well known magazine which devoted
eleven pages in one edition to abusing him but stopped just short of saying
that he was wrong. You might wonder why they were annoyed.
Global Warming Racket, The WWF And The $60 Billion Fraud [
8 April 2010 ]
It was a shock claim by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) that 40 per cent of the Amazon rainforest is threatened by global
warming which gave rise to "Amazongate", one of the many scandals lately
battering the IPCC, when it emerged that this prediction was based only on
a propagandist claim by the WWF, unsupported by any scientific evidence........
But if Woods Hole and the WWF fail to promote a concern over a climatic
threat to the Amazon, they might miss a chance to share in that $60
billion prize (a figure worked out by Woods Hole itself) for keeping parts
of the rainforest just as they are – in what would amount to the most
lucrative set-aside scheme that human ingenuity has ever devised
Climate Panel Admits Glacier Gaffe
[ 24 January 2010 ]
QUOTE
Billions of dollars in carbon credits are at stake in
an Amazonian scheme.... a scheme to claim $60 billion in carbon credits
for keeping intact a large chunk of the Amazon rainforest which is not
under any threat, The architects of this imaginative project are the
environmental campaigners of the WWF and their close ally the Woods Hole
Research Center in Massachusetts. "an
environmental advocacy center, not to be confused with the far better
known Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution", a genuinely respected
scientific body.
UNQUOTE
You have to hand it to these single issue advocacy groups; they do think big. A
lot of them are splinter groups and ex-Marxists, the sort that were going to
save the world - after they had murdered
100 million or so they said.
PS
Bjorn Lomborg an honest greenie and
a
Skeptical Environmentalist told us very publicly that the WWF are a
bunch of liars. They complained loudly then did not sue for libel, an admission of
guilt.
QUOTE
The head of a
United Nations panel of climate scientists [ who is not a scientist - Editor ] has
said that a prediction in one of the Nobel-prize winning panel's reports that
Himalayan glaciers would disappear by 2035 was "a regrettable error". Rajendra
Pachauri, who chairs the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), on
Saturday dismissed talk of his resignation over the claim, but promised to
tighten research procedures............. The prediction was
included in a 2007 UN report on global warming, in which scientists said the
probability of glaciers in the Himalayas melting "by the year 2035 and perhaps
sooner is very high".
The IPCC now says it took the exaggerated
prediction from a 2005 report by the WWF environmental group. The error was compounded by the accidental
inversion of the date - 2035 instead of 2350.
UNQUOTE
If they
can't write numbers down properly they can't be much as scientists. They are
a bunch of chancers on the make and using fraudulent data is part of it.
Lots of money ride on this racket. Bjorn Lomborg in
The Skeptical Environmentalist
told us that the WWF are liars on the make. They did not sue for Libel which
is an admission of guilt.
Pachauri is a railway engineer with light fingers NOT a scientist. See
Global Warming Racketeers Exposed for more and better details.
