A longtime believer in man made global warming, that it has caused wars, will cause more, and needs one world government (item at end), a UC Berkeley celebrity science guy named Richard Muller is now a global warming hero thanks in part to Republicans. In his worldwide media blitz, Muller says he has ended alleged confusion, that 'earth' was warmer for a few years so 'the debate' is over!
- He was upset everyone hadn't rolled over
- World temperatures have always fluctuated. Even if temperatures rose slightly since 1950, it doesn't mean the earth is warming. That's not the money issue anyway.
- 6 core issues on which the climate industry pivots:
- that CO2 causes global warming,
- that man's industries have created excess CO2,
- that humanity's survival is threatened and islands are sinking as a result,
- that the evil US middle class must pay billions in perpetuity to solve the problem they caused
- that governments must regulate CO2 emissions
- that the UN and others must administer the world's atmosphere and resources henceforth.
- everyone can rest easy and believe the earth is warming just like other government funded outlets said. The largest contributor to Muller's study was the US taxpayer via the Dept. of Energy which also owns the lab in which Muller works: "The U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has contributed the largest chunk of cash, $188,587."
From the article, 7/19/1996:
"He's (Muller) been serving on international disarmament panels
- with US and Russian scientists."...(parag. 4)
- do we affect climate?
- But when that has happened
- in the past, it has led to war.
- becoming a desert,
- but that's not what we're talking about.
- But I fear that
- changes in climate have been a major-
- if not the major-
- if humans have taken over and are now
- the dominant driving force for climate- which I think might be the case-
- than we need to understand how it works." (item at end of piece)
Comment which should replace all the headlines but won't:

"“….Muller testified that his preliminary findings confirm what mainstream scientists have been saying all along: Earth is warming in line with the projections of climate models…”
Mr. Muller, myself and others concur on the following:
We may be able to agree that the Earth’s climate is experiencing a warming trend. There is no conclusive proof
- that carbon dioxide is driving this trend,
nor is there proof that this warming trend is non-natural and unlike previous warm periods.
- There is no conclusive proof that
- would have any effect on this trend."

"Scientists at the University of East Anglia (UEA) have admitted throwing away much of the raw temperature data on which their predictions of global warming are based.
- It means that other academics are not able to check basic calculations said to show a long-term rise in temperature over the past 150 years. The UEA’s Climatic Research Unit (CRU) was
- were dumped to save space when the CRU moved to a new building.
- “We do not hold the original raw data but only the value-added (quality controlled and homogenised) data.”...Climate change sceptics have long been keen to examine exactly how its data were compiled. That is now impossible. Roger Pielke, professor of environmental studies at Colorado University, discovered data had been lost when he asked for original records.
- “The CRU is basically saying, ‘Trust us’.
- So much for settling questions and resolving debates with science,” he said.
- The lost material was used to build the databases that have been his life’s work, showing how the world has warmed by 0.8C over the past 157 years. He and his colleagues say this temperature rise is “unequivocally” linked to greenhouse gas emissions generated by humans.
