CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVEN BY THE OCEAN – NOT HUMANS by William M. Gray Colorado State University
POLITICS • A great Anthropogenic (human-induced) Global Warming(AGW) hoax is being played on the people of the world. • Scientific objectivity on this topic has long ago been suspended. • IPCC has been politicized – it’s predictions are not believable.

“The Holy Grail for most scientists is not truth but research grants. And the global warming scare has produced a huge downpour of money for research. Any mystery why so many scientists claim some belief in global warming?” By John Ray (Ph.D. from Australia)
