The Real Climate-Change Deniers: Exposing a Mainstream Myth

Lately, more focus has been on “climate-change deniers” than on the science of climate change. They are called science-denying, narrow-minded and selfish. They face ridicule every day.

For example, in “The Depravity of Climate-Change Denial,” economist and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman argued that climate-change denial risks civilization for profit, ideology and ego.

But who are the real “climate-change deniers”? (Or “climate deniers”? He uses the terms interchangeably.) Krugman never defined the terms. He failed to quantify the change in Earth’s climate. He ignored the finer details of temperature change. Instead, he focused on President Donald Trump’s skepticism. “Republicans … are, necessarily, bad people,” he wrote.

‘SKEPTICS ARE DENIERS’ IS NONSENSE

This is the sad state of news articles on climate change. They use fallacious, personal attacks. They ignore genuine challenges to the doomsday narrative.

The idea that “skeptics are deniers” is nonsense. It flies in the face of science. As the sociologist Robert K. Merton wrote 80 years ago, “Most institutions demand unqualified faith; but the institution of science makes skepticism a virtue.” Merton isn’t alone. For centuries, scholars have hailed skepticism. The motto of the world’s oldest scientific society (England’s Royal Society), Nullius in verba, means “Take nobody’s word for it.”

Scientific method relies heavily on skepticism. Every claim is cross-checked against real-world data before it gains respect even as a theory, let alone a law or a fact. Even then, it remains open to question in light of new evidence.

A scientist publishes her theory, and her evidence for it, in a journal. Peers examine it. Often they publish counter-evidence. Or they criticize her methods. This cycle repeats as long as potential refutations arise. When they stop, if the theory hasn’t been refuted, it might be widely embraced. It might even be thought of as a law or a fact. But serious scientists know it remains subject to refutation if new evidence arises.

Yet climate alarmists resist skepticism. They reprimand, blacklist, even publicly defame acclaimed scientists who practice it.

Receive Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History, by Tim Ball, Free in February! 

Human Caused Global Warming: The Biggest Deception in History  examines the claims of human induced global warming made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) using proper journalistic and investigative techniques.

It explains how it was a premeditated, orchestrated deception, using science to impose a political agenda. A deception that fooled a majority including most scientists, who assumed that other scientists would not produce science for a political agenda.

German Physicist and meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls finally decided to look for himself. Here is what he discovered.

Ten years ago I simply parroted what the IPCC told us. One day I started checking the facts and data—first I started with a sense of doubt but then I became outraged when I discovered that much of what the IPCC and the media were telling us was sheer nonsense and was not even supported by any scientific facts and measurements. To this day I still feel shame that as a scientist I made presentations of their science without first checking it.…scientifically it is sheer absurdity to think we can get a nice climate by turning a CO2 adjustment knob.

This book uses the same approach used in investigative journalism. It examines the Who, What, Where, When, Why, and How.
