Millions of people worldwide are concerned about climate change and believe there is a climate emergency. For decades we have been told by the United Nations that Carbon dioxide (CO2<\/sub>) emissions from human activity are causing disastrous climate change. In 2018, a UN IPCC report even warned that \u2018we have 12 years to save the Earth\u2019, thus sending millions of people worldwide into a frenzy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Thirty-five years ago, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the (World Meteorological Organization) WMO established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide scientific advice on the complex topic of climate change. The panel was asked to prepare, based on available scientific information, a report on all aspects relevant to climate change and its impacts and to formulate realistic response strategies. The first assessment report of the IPCC served as the basis for negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Governments worldwide have signed this convention, thereby, significantly impacting the lives of the people of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

However,\u00a0many scientists dispute with the UN-promoted man-made climate change theory<\/a>, and many people worldwide are confused by the subject, or are unaware of the full facts. Please allow me to provide some information you may not be aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Very few people actually dig into the data, they simply accept the UN IPPC reports. Yet many highly respectable and distinguished scientists have done exactly that and found that the UN-promoted manmade climate change theory is seriously flawed.\u00a0Are you aware that almost 2,000 of the world\u2019s leading climate scientists and professionals in over 30 countries have signed a declaration that there is no CO2-induced climate emergency?\u00a0<\/strong>These signatories have refuted the United Nations claims in relation to man-made C02-induced climate change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See\u00a0https:\/\/clintel.org\/world-climate-declaration\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. I have also signed this declaration. How can I make such an assertion? I have experience in the field as a former scientist at the Department of Energy and Climate Change, UK Government; and as former staff member at United Nations Environment, where I was responsible for servicing the Pollution Release and Transfer Register Protocol, a Multinational Environmental Agreement, involving the monitoring of pollutants to land, air, and water worldwide. Real pollution exists, but the problem is not CO2<\/sub>. Industrial globalisation has produced many substances that are registered as pollutants, including thousands of new man-made chemical compounds, toxins, nano-particles and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that are in violation of the scientific pre-cautionary principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book I published also provides ample evidence and testimony from renowned scientists that there is no \u2018CO2<\/sub>-induced\u2019 Climate emergency. The book titled \u2018Climate CO2 Hoax \u2013 How Bankers Hijacked the Environment Movement<\/a>\u2019 is available on Amazon here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Next, I will mention the Irish Climate Science Forum (ICSF) <\/strong>website, a valuable resource founded by Jim O\u2019Brien. I am grateful to the ICSF for their excellent work in highlighting the scientific flaws in the UN climate narrative. The ICSF provides a comprehensive lecture series from renowned international scientists providing much evidence, analysis, and data that contradicts the UN assertions. The lectures are available at: https:\/\/www.icsf.ie\/lecture-series<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ICSF scientific view coincides with those of the Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL) foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy. CLINTEL was founded in 2019 by emeritus professor of geophysics Guus Berkhout and science journalist Marcel Crok. Based on this common conviction, 20 Irish scientists and several ICSF members have co-signed the CLINTEL World Climate Declaration \u201cThere is No Climate Emergency\u201d<\/em> (see https:\/\/clintel.org\/ireland\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. The reality is that the climate has always been changing, the climate changes naturally and slowly in its own cycle, and CO2<\/sub> emissions (and methane from livestock, such as cows) are not dominant factors in climate change. In essence, therefore, the incessant UN, government, and corporate-media-produced climate hysteria in relation to CO2<\/sub> emissions (and also methane from cows) has no scientific basis. It appears to me the UN narrative is yet another example of fake science being used to drive an ulterior agenda, see also the book Godless Fake Science<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In truth I am against \u2018real\u2019 pollution, and the reality is that the CO2<\/sub> component is not a pollutant. Unfortunately, many misinformed environmentalists are driving around in electric cars<\/a>, the battery production for which has caused vast amounts of \u2018real\u2019 pollution via the industrial mining and processing of rare earth metals, and the consequent pollution to land, air and water systems. See also this article<\/a>. Note that the UN does not focus on the thousands of real pollutants that corporate industrial globalisation creates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The conclusions of the Climate Intelligence foundation include the following<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no [CO2-induced] climate emergency\u2026 The geological archive reveals that Earth\u2019s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate policy relies on inadequate models: <\/strong>Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2<\/sub>. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 <\/sub>is beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CO2<\/sub> is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth<\/strong>: CO2<\/sub> is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2<\/sub> is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2<\/sub> in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global warming has not increased natural disasters<\/strong>: There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. In the above book<\/a> I reference the relevant work and scientific presentations of some of the world\u2019s leading climate scientists. Let us examine some of the work and testimonies of these scientists:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cdeeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that Co2 from human industry was a dangerous plant destroying toxin. It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world \u2013 that Co2 the life of plants was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.\u201d \u2013 Professor Richard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Nils-Axel M\u00f6rner was a former Committee Chairman at the UN International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). He was an expert involved in reviewing the first IPPC documents. He says the UN IPPC is misleading humanity about climate change.  He tried to warn that the IPPC were publishing lies and false information that would inevitably be discredited. In an interview, he stated: \u201cThis is the most dangerous and frightening part of it. How a lobbyist group, such as the IPPC, has been able to fool the whole world. These organised and deceitful forces are dangerous\u201d and expressed shock \u201cthat the UN and governments would parade children around the place at UN Climate summits as propaganda props\u201d. He states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201csolar activity is the dominant factor in climate and not Co2\u2026 something is basically sick in the blame Co2 hypothesis\u2026  It was launched more than 100 years ago and almost immediately excellent physicists demonstrated that the hypothesis did not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was the chairman of the only international committee on sea levels changes and as such a person I was elected to be the expert reviewer on the (UN IPPC) sea levels chapter. It was written by 38 persons and not a single one was a sea level specialist\u2026 I was shocked by the low quality it was like a student paper\u2026 I went through it and showed them that it was wrong and wrong and wrong\u2026The scientific truth is on the side of the sceptics\u2026 I have thousands of high ranked scientists all over the world who agree that NO, CO2 is not the driving mechanism and that everything is exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the field of physics 80 to 90% of physicists know that the Co2 hypothesis is wrong\u2026 Of course, metrologists they believe in this because that is their own profession \u2013 they live on it.\u2026 I suspect that behind-the-scenes promoters\u2026 have an ulterior motive\u2026 It\u2019s a wonderful way of controlling taxation controlling people\u201d \u2013 Dr Nils-Axel M\u00f6rner, a former Committee Chairman at the UN IPPC, and former head of the Paleo Geo-physics and Geo-dynamics department in Stockholm<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another climate scientist with impeccable credentials that has broken rank is Dr Mototaka Nakamura. He asserts: <\/strong> <\/strong>\u201cOur models are mickey-mouse mockeries of the real world\u201d. Dr Nakamura received a Doctorate of Science from MIT, and for nearly 25 years specialized in abnormal weather and climate change at prestigious institutions that included MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology, NASA, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, JAMSTEC and Duke University. <\/strong>Dr Nakamura explains why the data foundation underpinning global warming science is \u201cuntrustworthy\u201d and cannot be relied on and that: \u201cGlobal mean temperatures before 1980 are based on untrustworthy data\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor John R. Christy, Director of Atmospheric and Earth Sciences, University of Alabama, has provided detailed analysis of climate data, see Endnote [i]<\/a>. I summarise the main points from his analysis below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe established global warming theory significantly misrepresents the impact of extra greenhouse gases; the weather that affects people the most is not becoming more extreme or more dangerous; temperatures were higher in the 1930s than today; between 1895 and 2015, 14 of the top 15 years with the highest heat records occurred before 1960; the temperatures we are experiencing now in 2021 were the same as 120 years ago\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the number of major tornadoes between 1954 and 1986 averaged 56\/year, but between 1987 and 2020 the average was only 34\/year\u2026 Between 1950 and 2019 the percentage of land area experiencing droughts has not increased globally \u2013 the trend is flat\u2026 Sea levels rose 12.5 cm per decade for 8,000 years and then it levelled off, now it rising only 2.5 cm per decade\u2026 worrying about 30 cm rise in sea level in a decade is ridiculous, in a hurricane the east coast of the U.S. gets a 20 foot rise in 6 hours, so a 30 cm rise will be easily handled!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a lecture titled The imaginary climate crisis \u2013 how can we change the message?<\/em> Available on the Irish Climate Science Forum website, see Endnote [ii]<\/a>. Richard L Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT summarises the battle against the climate hysteria as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cin the long history of the earth there has been almost no correlation between climate and co2\u2026 the narrative is absurd\u2026  it gives governments the power to control the energy sector\u2026 for about 33 years, many of us have been battling against the climate hysteria\u2026 Elites are always searching for ways to advertise their virtue and assert their authority. They believe they are entitled to view science as a source of authority rather than a process, and they try to appropriate science, suitably and incorrectly simplified, as the basis for their movement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCO2\u2026  it\u2019s not a pollutant\u2026 it\u2019s the product of all plant respiration, it is essential for plant life and photosynthesis\u2026  if you ever wanted a leverage point to control everything from exhalation to driving, this would be a dream. So it has a kind of fundamental attractiveness to bureaucratic mentality<\/a>.\u201d \u2013 Prof. Richard Lindzen, Professor Emeritus of Atmospheric Sciences at MIT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, and President of Greenpeace in Canada for seven years, states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cthe whole climate crisis is not only fake news its fake science\u2026 of course climate change is real it\u2019s been happening since the beginning of time, but it\u2019s not dangerous and it\u2019s not caused by people\u2026 climate change is a perfectly natural phenomenon and this modern warming period actually began about 300 years ago when the little ice age began to come to an end. There is nothing to be afraid of and all they are doing is instilling fear. Most of the scientists who are saying it\u2019s a crisis are on perpetual government grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was one of the (Greenpeace) founders\u2026 by the mid-80s\u2026 we were hijacked by the extreme left who basically took Greenpeace from a science-based organisation to an organisation based on sensationalism, misinformation and fear<\/strong>\u2026 you don\u2019t have a plan to feed 8 billion people without fossils fuels or get the food into the cities\u2026\u201d \u2013 Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor William Happer, Princeton University, Former Director of Science at the US Department of Energy, is also a strong voice against the myth of man-made global warming. He states: \u201cMore <\/strong>CO2<\/sub> benefits the Earth\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
