Climate Sceptics?

For those who want a ‘balanced debate’ on the subject I’m going to post you an article that sums it up. It was written at the end of 2005 and is called ‘Slamming the Climate Skeptic Scam’. It’s all about the massive amount of misinformation and how the certain elements of the PR industry are being funded by ‘certain forces’ over the existence of climate change.

Yes those forces are parties that have vested interests in funding and disseminating miscommunication i.e. the oil and car industry. It also talks about Frank Luntz (google/wikipedia – if interested look for his recommendations) who is the master republican PR pollster who created his famed ‘Luntz Memo’ specifically for the type of organisations/people who need to challenge the existence of this fact. A while back it became the base for the Bush, Canadian Republican, Conservative Party and also Australian policies. The similarities to what the the tobacco and fast food industry have done are amazing.

For those that don’t read it. The climate debate is over. Even old Frank admits it now, but that was not his reason for writing it. There are no scientific peer reviewed (i.e. the credible ones) articles that can find against global warming. There are 900+ that find for. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, the largest and most rigorously peer-reviewed scientific consensus in history (2000+), is advising that climate change is real, it is caused by human activity, and it is threatening the planet in ways we can only begin to imagine.

It is not a natural event.

So, where is the debate? Is it not now time for us to take action, modify our lifestyles, and demand from the corporates and politicians that ‘sustainable’ is the only way forward? Oh - don’t forget to use your vote.

“Don't accept the word of people who pass themselves off as "skeptics." Be skeptical yourself. Ask yourself what motive the scientific community has to gang up and invent a phony climate crisis. Compare that to the motives that ExxonMobil or Peabody Coal might have to deny that burning fossil fuels indiscriminately could change irrevocably our existence on the planet.”
