global warming cracked open: a peek inside

1. Global Warming Cracked Open: A Peek Inside April 28, 2008 Dr. Nicholas Drapela Department of Chemistry Oregon State University

3. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJxwl69mrEM

4. The Global Warming Phenomenon What is taking place during our lifetime in our society? Global Warming theory Passion Heated arguments Accusations Threats More than a scientific theory Why?

5. Reasons to Believe Ask someone why they believe, or do not believe, in the Global Warming doctrine Then ask yourself if those reasons appeal to reason or to authority

6. Preview Global Warming doctrine is no longer just a scientific theory; it is a populist social and political tool Many groups in our society benefit from the existence of the global warming doctrine The coercion and propaganda used to advance this doctrine are disturbing, and have borrowed from other historical political movements The benefactors of global warming theory are the rich and powerful; the losers are the rest of the world Bigger picture implications

7. Part One The Engine

8. Government-Alarmist Cycle Proposed government intervention Increased government control Decreased personal freedoms Increased tax revenue Money Notoriety

9. Peripheral Social Engines

10. On the Bandwagon �Rarely has such meager science provoked such an outpouring of popularization by individuals who do not understand the subject in the first place.� MIT Meteorology Professor Richard Lindzen 1992

11. Oregon State University Oregon Climate Change Research Institute Established 2007 by Oregon State Legislature National Search for director underway What are the stated purposes of this institute?

12. Oregon Climate Change Research Institute Bring money to OSU Become the authority in Oregon for legislators to cite Oversee a �public information� campaign on global warming Support the new Oregon Global Warming Commission Assist government in implementing policies

13. Why Rock the Boat? Doesn�t everyone win in this situation? Isn�t it a good cause anyway? Isn�t it good for the environment even if it�s wrong? Does it really matter whether Global Warming doctrine is true or not?

14. Public Enlightenment �That propaganda is good which leads to success�It is not propaganda�s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.� Joseph Goebbels, Minister for Public Enlightenment, National Socialist Party of Germany, 1933

15. Part Two Methods

16. Method 1 � Fear �It is a good thing that global warming has become such a prevalent threat�I am glad for the threat of it. Fear has always been the strongest force of change among humans.� John Tavares, OSU Barometer Column January 28, 2008

17. Fear and Propaganda Fear has always been used to control and motivate It is consistently and intentionally used to promote submission to the aims of global warming

18. IPCC Lead Author �To capture the public imagination, we have to offer up some scary scenarios, make simplified dramatic statements and little mention of any doubts one might have. Each of us has to decide the right balance between being effective and being honest.� Stephen Schneider, Author �The Genesis Strategy� 2007 IPCC report

19. Fear in the Headlines Headline: �World Must Act Now On Climate� �The world must deal with climate change now�or pay a much higher price later (leaving) half the world�s population without adequate drinking water.� AP article, March 2008

20. �The Enemy� For control of a population, an enemy must be set up which is the cause of all the population�s problems For Marxism, it was capitalists For National Socialism, it was the Jews What is it today?

21. The Perfect Enemy "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.� The Club of Rome �The First Global Revolution� 1991, page 104

22. In Their Own Words �Climate change is mankind�s most important challenge. We know the enemy: It is named carbon.� Angel Gurria, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) secretary general, 2008

23. Method 2 � Marginalization Global Warming skeptics are routinely marginalized as Uneducated Ignorant Anti-environment Uncommon Fringe

24. The Denier Skeptics are branded as �deniers� They are immediately ignorant and/or evil

25. Demonization in History To blindly accept that a certain group of people are all ignorant or evil is bigotry

26. Useful Bigotry Bigotry is often ignored, as long as it�s used against �the enemy�

27. Al Gore on Global Warming Skeptics �Those people are in such a tiny, tiny minority now. They�re almost like those who believe that the earth is flat�That demeans them a little bit, but it�s not that far off.� �60 Minutes�, March 2008

45. �Big Oil Money� Global Warming skeptics are often painted as being funded by oil companies If there is money to be made, it is not in taking the skeptical view Huge corporations tap into the global warming movement for profit Continued funding for global warming research is dependent upon global warming existing

46. Method 3 � Silencing Opposition In many present (and past) societies, thought is controlled by eliminating any opposing voices or ideas Examples of countries today which limit access to free media Iran North Korea China Syria

47. Information Control by Intimidation Concerted efforts are made today to suppress any information or individual critical of the Global Warming doctrine It is common for people to be threatened today who speak out on this issue Much of this has happened locally �All opposition must be stamped into the ground.� Sturmabteilung, 1921

48. A History of Intimidation and Censorship 1988 � Prof. Lester Lave, Carnegie Mellon University, dismissed from a senate hearing for suggesting that Global Warming was not a settled science 1989 � Meteorology Prof. Reginald Newell, MIT, lost NSF funding for data analyses that were failing to show net warming over the past century 1990 � Paper critical to global warming theory submitted to Science Magazine by MIT Meteorology prof rejected without review

49. Threatening Weather? Heidi Cullen (The Weather Channel) has recently urged that any on-air meteorologist who expresses skepticism regarding global warming be stripped of their credentials by the American Meteorological Society

50. Controlling the Media? The morning of April 4, 2008, the BBC posted a story on their website entitled �Global Temperatures to Decrease� It described how temperatures have not risen since 1998 and in fact are decreasing despite massive CO2 emission increases in the same time period Immediately upon posting, a British environmental activist (Jo) wrote the following email to the BBC reporter in question�

56. BBC Email Transcript

57. BBC Story Changes The BBC will not comment on the incident

58. Method 4 � Corporate Propaganda Effective propaganda takes big money This must either come from government the wealthy elite, or corporations

59. Propaganda Blitz Currently, a $300,000,000 ad campaign is being carried out by Al Gore to advertize global warming Gore says this publicity campaign is paid for by his personal profits from �An Inconvenient Truth� Cost of campaign: $300,000,000 Gross receipts for �An Inconvenient Truth� $24,000,000

60. Show Me the Money Where is this massive influx of capital coming from? Many corporations stand to profit hugely if global warming is true �Green� energy companies Ethanol manufacturers Financial companies Al Gore and others have invested heavily in these areas The conflict of interest is staggering

61. NBC�s �Green Week� Ostensibly devoted to environmental issues Inordinate amounts of time spent covering certain �green� products, helpful to the environment These products are made and sold by GE GE owns NBC A 1-week commercial Corporate propaganda

62. The Environment � Keeping it Real Pro-environment does not necessitate belief in the Global Warming doctrine Sadly, today the Global Warming doctrine has taken over the environmental movement

63. Part Three Why?

64. A Paradigm Shift �Do you believe in global warming? That is a religious question. Are you a believer�or a skeptic?� MIT Meteorology Professor, Richard Lindzen ��Global warming� has become the grand political narrative of the age, replacing Marxism as a dominant force for controlling liberty and human choices.� Professor Philip Stott

65. Behind the Push Why do the world�s most powerful people want you to feel that you are responsible for destroying the earth? Why would anyone have us believe that the world is going to end unless we (Americans) ratify the Kyoto protocol? Why are we being pushed so strongly to impose international solutions to stop the existential threat of human-caused global warming?

66. World Government One world � the trend One world � the motivation A New World Order

67. Global Governance �For the first time, humanity is instituting a genuine instrument of global governance, one that should find a place within the World Environmental Organization�(this is) the first component of an authentic global governance.� Jacques Chirac, President of France 6th Conference for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2000

68. A New World Order These plans are not new or hidden �In the next century, nationhood as we know it will be obsolete�all states will recognize a single, global authority.� Strobe Talbott, Clinton State Dept. The Birth of the Global Nation, 1992

69. Bush, the Environmentalist?

70. One World � Why Not? History shows that when power is consolidated, liberties are removed, and humanity suffers Fascism � 6 million killed under Hitler Marxism � 20 million killed under Stalin Power corrupts Revolutionary War and the constitution of the United States

71. The solution: Weaken America Falling dollar & the Fed Open borders Energy policy Carbon taxes Compromises in sovereignty Public-Private Partnerships The Amero and Mexamericanada And the biggest lifeline? Oil America, the Impediment

72. Oil = Your Life Farms need oil to produce crops Trucks need oil to bring food to your grocery store Most plastics are made from oil You get electricity largely from oil You heat your home with oil You cook your food with oil You transport yourself to school, work, or home with oil You dress yourself with oil Oil controls the world

73. Carbon Emissions CO2 emissions are produced from oil usage If you control CO2 emissions, you control the world Global Warming doctrine is critical for using oil as a means of controlling society CO2 levels are increasing. But we are not allowed to question whether that proves a link between the use of oil and the predicted catastrophic warming of the earth

74. Global Warming as a Tool We are being asked to relinquish our freedoms �for the greater good� An innate sense of human guilt is being used against us to give power to a few and strip individuals of their basic rights The Global Warming doctrine is tailor-made for this purpose

75. Summary/Conclusion Global Warming doctrine is a powerful force in our world today, affecting every aspect of society Techniques such as fear, bigotry, stifling opposition, and appealing to authority are being used to advance this doctrine Because of its inextricable ties to oil, Global Warming doctrine is a tool for absolute control of the world by one body resulting in the loss of our freedoms

76. Thank You

77. Part Four: Epilogue So if not CO2, then what?

78. Solar Activity Theory Scientists have proposed the following: Sunspots go through cycles of activity and inactivity Higher frequency (shorter) sunspot cycles create stronger solar energy output This deflects cosmic rays and reduces cloud formation This increases earth temperatures

79. Solar Activity Correlation

80. Why don�t we hear about this? The sun cannot be controlled It cannot be used to manipulate for power and money
