How Activists And Flawed Data Created The Illusion Of A Climate Apocalypse
Climatologist exposes climate science's biggest lie.

Introduction: Unmasking a Climate Myth

One of the most influential and deceptive climate graphics circulating today did not originate in any peer-reviewed scientific publication.

Instead, after a thorough investigation, I traced its roots to a 2018 activist document titled “Don’t Mention the Emergency?“ published by the Climate Emergency Declaration group. [emphasis, links added]


On page 7 of this document, a graphic dramatically juxtaposes heavily smoothed temperature proxy reconstructions with modern instrumental temperature data, falsely presenting today’s warming as unprecedented and alarming.
 
Further investigation revealed that this misleading graphic was inspired by a 2013 blog post, “The two epochs of Marcott” from OurChangingClimate.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
