Edward Ring writes at American Greatness The Corruption of Climate Science.  Excerpts in italics with my bolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of fighting anti-civilization lunacy,
corporations are taking their money off the table,
along with their life-affirming affordable fuel.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We need to criticize the people who got us here,\u201d<\/strong> says Alex Epstein, founder of the Center for Industrial Progress and author of Fossil Future. \u201cWe can\u2019t keep treating these designated experts as real experts. They are not real experts, they are destroyers. They are anti-energy, non-experts<\/strong>. And that needs to be made clear.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epstein is right, and his advice has never been more urgent\u2014or as difficult to make people understand. It is no exaggeration that\u00a0every major institution in America has now committed itself to the elimination of affordable and abundant energy.<\/strong>\u00a0If it isn\u2019t stopped, this commitment,\u00a0motivated by misguided concern<\/strong>\u00a0for the planet but also by a\u00a0lust for power and money and enabled by moral cowardice and intellectual negligence<\/strong>, will destroy Western civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For over 50 years<\/strong>, with increasing frequency, corrupted, careerist scientists have produced biased studies<\/strong> that, amplified by agenda-driven corporate and political special interests,<\/strong> constitute a \u201cconsensus\u201d that is supposedly \u201cbeyond debate.\u201d We are in a \u201cclimate crisis.\u201d<\/strong> To cope with this climate emergency, all measures are justifiable<\/strong>.  This is overblown, one-sided, distorted, and manipulative propaganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the language of authoritarians and corporatists bent on achieving
even more centralized political power and economic wealth.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a scam, perhaps the most audacious, all-encompassing fraud<\/strong> in human history. It is a scam that explicitly targets and crushes the middle class<\/strong> in developed nations and the entire aspiring populations<\/strong> in developing nations, at the same time as its messaging is designed to secure their fervent acquiescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is actually beyond debate is not that we are in a climate crisis but that\u00a0if we don\u2019t stop destroying our conventional energy economy, we are going to be in a civilizational crisis.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Energy is the foundation of everything<\/strong>\u2014prosperity, freedom, upward mobility, national wealth, individual economic independence, functional water and transportation infrastructure, commercial-scale agriculture, mining, and industry. Without energy, it all goes dark. And \u201crenewables\u201d are not even remotely capable of replacing oil, gas, coal, nuclear, and hydroelectric power. It\u2019s impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The only people who think renewables are capable of replacing conventional energy
are either uninformed, innumerate, or corrupt. Period.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But to cope with the apocalyptic messaging of climate catastrophists, it isn\u2019t enough to debunk the potential of renewables. It is also necessary to challenge the underlying climate \u201cscience.\u201d<\/strong> The biased, corrupt, unceasing avalanche of expert \u201cstudies\u201d serving up paid-for ideas to special interests<\/strong> that use them as bludgeons to beat into the desired shape every relevant public policy and popular narrative. So here goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biased, Flawed Studies<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

A new study, released May 16, deserves far more criticism than it\u2019s going to get. Authored by seven<\/strong> ridiculously credentialed experts<\/strong> and primarily affiliated with the leftist Union of Concerned Scientists,<\/strong> this study has the rather innocuous title: \u201cQuantifying the contribution of major carbon producers to increases in vapor pressure deficit and burned area in western US and southwestern Canadian forests.\u201d Bursting with charts and equations, and too many links to corroborating sources to count, the study has all the accouterments of intimidating credibility. But serious questions<\/strong> may be raised as to its logic as well as its objectivity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, this study doesn\u2019t restrict itself to \u201cQuantifying the contribution of major carbon producers to increases in vapor pressure deficit.\u201d The authors can\u2019t resist attacking these \u201cmajor carbon producers.\u201d<\/strong> In this revealing paragraph, the study\u2019s true intent<\/strong> becomes apparent: it is fodder for litigation.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explain what the authors got wrong, it is first necessary to summarize what they did. In plain English, the authors claim that hotter summers<\/strong> in recent years have caused more severe forest fires<\/strong> in the western United States, and fossil fuel emissions are causing the hotter summers. <\/strong> That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what if it isn\u2019t just heat, but dry heat, that is unprecedented today? What if the \u201cvapor pressure deficit\u201d is worse today than it has been at any time in 20 million years? That is a huge assumption,<\/strong> probably impossible to verify. Even if it\u2019s true, it doesn\u2019t make up for the study\u2019s other flaw, which is the density of forests in California today, which is truly unprecedented.<\/strong> The study\u2019s authors acknowledge they don\u2019t take this variable into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In California, wildlife biologists and forest ecologists who spend their lives studying and managing these timberlands unanimously agree that\u00a0tree density has increased, thanks to \u201cnon-climatic factors such as the prohibition of Indigenous burning, and legacies of fire suppression.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0The increase is not subtle. Without small, naturally occurring fires that clear underbrush and smaller trees, forests become overgrown. Controlled burns and responsible logging are absolutely necessary to maintain forest health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is not an isolated finding. Observations of excessive tree density are corroborated by numerous<\/strong> studies<\/a>, testimony<\/a>, and journalistic investigations<\/a>. Unlike the subjectively defined algorithms plugged into a climate model, excessive tree density is an objective fact, verified repeatedly<\/a> by people on the ground. To imply by omission that more than tripling the density of trees<\/strong> across millions of acres of forest<\/strong> would not leave them stressed and starved<\/strong> for soil nutrients, sunlight, and water from rain and atmospheric moisture is scientific malpractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without taking these additional factors into account, it is deceptive
to indict fossil fuel emissions for causing wildfires.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps some indirect connection can be established of debatable relevance, but for this study to assign specific percentages and acreages suggests a premeditated purpose: creating material for expert testimony for litigation against oil companies.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The monolithic alignment of the scientific and journalistic community in support of an authoritarian, utterly impractical \u201cclimate\u201d agenda reveals a misunderstanding if not outright betrayal of scientific and journalistic core values. Both disciplines are founded on the bedrock of skepticism and debate. Without nurturing those values, the integrity of these disciplines is undermined. When it comes to issues of climate and energy policy in America, science and journalism are compromised.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carbon Fuel Industry Fails to Step Up<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The real crime, if you want to call it that, isn\u2019t that oil and gas companies
questioned climate change theories back in the 1960s or \u201970s.
It\u2019s that they\u2019re accepting them now.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil and gas companies today are not willing to challenge the climate crisis orthodoxy<\/strong>, or the myth of cost-effective renewables at scale. They aren\u2019t willing to devote their substantial financial resources to debunking this agenda-driven madness that is on the verge of taking down our entire civilization. The fact that America\u2019s oil and gas companies have adopted a strategy of appeasement<\/strong> is a crime against humanity. The fact that these companies are failing to make long-term investments<\/strong> to develop new oil and gas fields, and instead are reaping windfall profits<\/strong> as they sell existing production at politically inflated prices, that, too, is a crime against civilization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the Union of Concerned Scientists and the major oil companies
are complicit in the destruction of America\u2019s energy economy.<\/mark><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because rather than declaring total war<\/strong> on these paid-for, flawed scientific studies and the special interests that fund them, oil companies will engage in theatrical litigation,<\/strong> knowing that the cost of settlements won\u2019t even come close to the short-term profits to be had by slowly asset stripping their companies while selling diminishing quantities of fuel at punitive rates.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Epstein is right that we must criticize the \u201cexperts\u201d<\/strong> that want to destroy human civilization with climate alarmism. But we must also recognize and criticize the institutions targeted for destruction<\/strong>. Instead of fighting this lunacy, they are taking their money off the table, along with their life-affirming affordable fuel, and heading for the hills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
