  6. Climate Research Institute ~ Britain • At the center of “Climategate” • Director Phil Jones • Between 2000 ~ 2006 received $19 million • In the previous decade < $3 million • "If you torture data long enough, it will confess.“ ~Economist Ronald Coase

  11. RajendraPachauri ~ Climate Chief – U.N. ~ IPCC • Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) ~ New Delhi • Claimed that most of the Himalayan glaciers were likely to melt by 2035 (IPCC 2007) • Awarded • $482,000 from Carnegie Corp. of N.Y. • Majority of $4 million grant from E.U. • Pachauri and the IPCC has now admitted that the claim had no scientific basis. • Pachauri also received the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore for their “work” on global warming

  12. George Soros • The Puppet Master • Open Society Institute ~ $720,000 to James Hanson • Pledged $1 billion to clean energy technology • “…overpopulation should be the focus of their efforts, that it should be presented as an environmental threat, and that the response needed to be free of governments and the democratic process.” • “This is something so nightmarish that everyone in this group agreed it needs big-brain answers,” said the guest. “They need to be independent of government agencies, which are unable to head off the disaster we all see looming.”

  13. George Soros ~ continued • Appointed to the U.N. panel to oversee the collection and distribution of $100 billion by 2020 • “international leaders” agreed that it would be necessary for the developed world to fork over $100 billion by 2020 during the Copenhagen climate summit. But the methodology and details of this transfer remain a point of consternation and contention. • the same George Soros who has railed against American independence and sovereignty is now organizing a massive wealth transfer to third world countries in the name of environmentalism.

  16. "Billions of dollars of grant money is flowing into the pockets of those on the man-made global warming bandwagon … Nothing wrong with making money at all. But when money becomes the motivation for a scientific conclusion, then we have a problem. For many, global warming is a big cash grab." • ~ James Spann, meteorologist

  17. Conclusion • Money & greed drive the system • Individuals • Corporations • Institutions • Panic Politics • What can you do?
