Good time to seek career counseling if one's paycheck is dependent on global warming industry-Rothbard

.

12/9/10, From CFACT's presentation to the UN in Cancun of 1000+ scientists who dispute alleged consensus on global warming. CFACT President David Rothbard:


For years scientists, elected officials, policy experts and anyone concerned with global warming

  • have feared to challenge climate orthodoxy,” Rothbard said.

They feared retaliation, ostracism and

  • damage to their careers.
As the errors and falsehoods behind the warming campaign continue to come to light, the public has voted with its feet and no longer support it. Many thousands who
  • previously feared to speak up are now eager to challenge warming propaganda
which won't do well in an even-handed discussion. If your paycheck is dependent on the global warming industry,


('CFACT is an international public policy organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. which promotes market and technological solutions to issues of environment and development.')


Oil companies made out very well with the UN. Climate guru Pachauri, supposedly an oil company hater, was chosen via strong lobbying by Saudi Arabian interests (ClimateGate email 4/19/02). The oil companies wanted to make sure they had a piece of the action. Their choice, Pachauri, publicly bashed oil companies enough so the greens would like him, but otherwise made sure oil companies were taken care of.

"ISSUE: Today - April 19, 2002, the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) plenary voted for Dr. Rajendra
Pachauri as the sole chair of the IPCC. Dr. Pachauri, an
economist and engineer, will replace Dr. Robert Watson, an
atmospheric chemist, as chair of the IPCC.

  • behest of the most conservative elements
Although reports from Geneva are still sketchy, our sources
on the ground tell us that there was

intense behind-the- scenes lobbying by Saudi Arabia, with assistance from Don Pearlman -- a well known oil and gas lobbyist with strong connections to industry-backed

Peter Taylor, 6/9/10: "Why would the UN suppress all of this debate happening within its working groups? The problem is that the secretariat within the UN tasked with processing this debate is already committed – financially – to focusing upon carbon dioxide as the climate-change driver. It is very hard for them to backtrack.
  • It is only recently that the scientific world has bought into this consensus. In 2001, America, Russia and China did not accept the UN’s analysis.

But by 2004, America had signed up to it. And this was all down to a certain team in the US which produced an analysis that ironed out the past cycles of warming and cooling. Although it has since been discredited, this report had a tremendous effect in bringing scientific institutions around to the idea of man-made global warming....

If you write something, as I have done with Chill, which is a rational, critical appraisal of the whole situation, you would at least expect to have some dialogue. But there has been nothing.

I have been invited to speak at Leeds University, which has quite a strong climate community, and the Energy Institute. But the environmental community has been absolutely silent towards me.

  • I would challenge them to bring all of their experts to the table and hammer it out.

We’re seeing the dangerous development here of a very intolerant political ideology. It is a very strange political and scientific situation, in which vast sums of money are underwriting a bureaucracy of climate accountants and auditors, and in which academic funding is easier to obtain if you put man-made climate change at the top of your research proposal.

  • I have never seen anything like it in the 40 years of my scientific and environmental career."

5/20/2009, A California cap and trade scam that made over $12 million illegally, has been kept quiet over several years and only earned the perpetrator one year of house arrest.

He was vetted and recommended for the World Bank job by longtime Goldman Sachs executive Hank Paulson. Zoellick formerly worked in the George W. Bush administration. What could go wrong?
