Abandon climate science – and send the 'mainstream' scientists home
By Dr. Graham Pinn (Australia).

There is little debate about climate science, with the much-discussed statement "The science is set" to appease any disputes. In fact, there is considerable disagreement, but it remains unpublished in scientific journals, for fear of job or funding loss.

A recent international study, published in The Conversation, shows that more than 40% of scientists suffer from bullying or intimidation by their institution. Climate science is a common indication. The study did not reveal whether these scientists were proponents or opponents of the theory.

There are numerous examples of authors of scientific papers who support the CO2 theory but refuse to publish underlying details, because others might find errors in their conclusions. There are also numerous examples of articles that contradict the theory and are rejected by editors. The "Climategate" scandal of 2009 is just one example of this global phenomenon.

The usual explanation is that opponents of the climate change hypothesis are funded by the fossil fuel industry. There is no mention of the huge subsidies from the government and the renewable energy industry to proponents. This bias has led to countless examples of senior climate scientists who had to wait until retirement before they could voice their opinions. An American activist/author of yesteryear described the phenomenon a hundred years ago as follows:

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

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

This is exactly why any review of published papers which uses conclusions therein to decide "consensus" is useless.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
