Global warming: Now called "climate change," the controversial issue has become increasingly contested. My research concluded it was a hoax in 2009, but I didn't understand what was behind it.
Boiling it down, there are three factual problems:
1) When data showed CO2 increases, the untampered actual temperature did not.
2) Extreme predictions have not occurred with the historical rises in temperature such as rising sea levels, Arctic/Antarctic ice melting. Polar bear populations are at a near-record high, and there have been fewer hurricanes since 2005.
3) Inconvenient confessions from Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change authorities reveal their models do not match the observed data. UN assessment report author, Ottmar Edenhofer, admitted in a speech it was not about climate but "about how we redistribute de facto the world's wealth." U.N. climate chief Christina Figueres said that the true aim of the recent Paris climate conference was "to change [destroy] the economic development model [capitalism]."
No, none of this global warming (aka "climate change") alarmism is based upon objective science. It never was. Three facts prove climate alarm is a scam — besides the 2009 Climategate emails about hiding altered climate data and refusal to share it and 2011 Climategate 2.0 emails telling colleagues to delete their data for fear of their fraud being revealed (Forbes). Then there is the bottom line why, the money trail. Al Gore and David Blood and collaborators intended to make big bucks from carbon trading (Forbes). Just search "climate scandal, fraud, hoax."
So, will you follow up on these references or continue to be willingly disinformed?
