Susan Crockford fired after finding polar bears thriving despite climate change Nobody has done more to sink the claim that climate change is endangering polar bears than zoologist Susan Crockford — and she may have paid for it with her job. After 15 years as an adjunct assistant professor, Ms. Crockford said the University of Victoria rejected without explanation in May her renewal application, despite her high profile as a speaker and author stemming from her widely cited research on polar bears and dog domestication. Ms. Crockford accused officials at the Canadian university of bowing to “outside pressure,” the result of her research showing that polar bear populations are stable and even thriving, not plummeting as a result of shrinking Arctic sea ice, defying claims of the climate change movement. Her dismissal, which she announced Wednesday in a post on her Polar Bear Science blog, has spurred alarm over the implications for academic freedom and the rise of the “cancel culture” for professors and scientists who challenge climate catastrophe predictions.

Swedish child climate activist reportedly a tool of Al Gore–linked corporate green hucksters Kids are great tools for big money and major powers lurking in the shadows, attempting to enact a political agenda. The latest instance, and it's a doozy, is young Greta Thunberg, the Swedish child climate activist who's coming to the states (with a big carbon footprint, according to today's piece by Thomas Lifson) to persuade us all to jump in on the global warming cavalcade of green laws to restrict our own freedoms — which, as it happens, will just coincidentally make the green elites even richer. No wonder they're the shadowy forces bankrolling her peregrinations. [T]he Greta phenomenon has also involved green lobbyists, PR hustlers, eco-academics and a think tank founded by a wealthy former minister in Sweden's Social Democratic government with links to the country's energy companies. Someone's looking for a payday, and sure enough, that someone found exactly the useful fool he wanted for a get-rich-quick scheme to line his own pockets. As The Times concludes:
Climate Depot | A project of CFACT La truffa dell’IPCC “Io, scienziato, svelo la truffa dell’IPCC” Chris Landsea Quello che segue è il testo integrale della lettera inviata dal professor Chris Landsea, uno dei massimi esperti mondiali in materia di uragani, ai suoi colleghi il 17 gennaio 2005 per spiegare le sue dimissioni dall’IPCC in seguito alla grave manipolazione dei dati scientifici da lui elaborati. Cari colleghi, dopo alcune prolungate riflessioni, ho deciso di ritirare la mia partecipazione al IV Rapporto di Valutazione dell’Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Ho deciso di ritirarmi perché mi sono reso conto che la parte dell’IPCC che si avvale della mia esperienza è diventata politicizzata. Con questa lettera aperta alla comunità, desidero spiegare i fondamenti della mia decisione e mettere in luce cio che io vedo come un problema nel procedimento dell’IPCC. È certamente vero che “i singoli scienziati hanno il diritto di fare ciò che desiderano”, come ha detto uno dei responsabili dell’IPCC. Cordialmente, Chris Landsea
Julia Ratsey - J.D. Waterhouse 2 years ago (edited) Here's... ICECAP Intervista a Luigi Mariani Molti nostri lettori avranno già avuto modo di leggere l’intervista che l’amico Luigi mariani ha rilasciato alla testata Meteoweb perché l’ho rilanciata su Twitter appena è stata pubblicata. So però che a molti altri potrebbe essere sfuggita, per cui con il loro permesso la riporto integralmente qui di seguito. Buona lettura e buona giornata. Il meteo-climatologo Luigi Mariani a MeteoWeb: “Non c’è alcuna crisi climatica, vari effetti positivi dal riscaldamento globale” Il clima è il “sistema più complesso presente sul nostro pianeta e rispetto al quale il nostro attuale livello di ignoranza è rilevante”, sostiene Luigi Mariani. L’intervista Luigi Mariani, agrometeorologo e meteoclimatologo che insegna all’Università di Milano, in un’intervista ai microfoni di MeteoWeb ha parlato di clima e riscaldamento globale in un momento in cui l’allarmismo sul tema ha raggiunto livelli molto alti. Quali aree del pianeta stanno avvertendo di più gli effetti del riscaldamento e con quali conseguenze?
wrongkindofgreen Wrong Kind of Green Oct 28, 2019 Research & Investigative Reports on NGOs, Social Engineering Ghion Journal September 18, 2019 By Stephen Boni About 43% of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were lawyers. Additionally, it isn’t much of a secret how important legal expertise is to modern corporations and how many lawyers exist among their executive ranks. The way lawyers have been trained to think, the skills they possess, the way they maneuver, and what they maneuver for casts a massive shadow over what kinds of decisions get made for our society—and what kind of loose consensus (or acquiescence) gets achieved in order for those decisions to stick. What I’m talking about is how those decisions are sold to us. It’s interesting to me that it was this aspect of Morningstar’s piece that jumped out. But a marketing campaign is about storytelling—and storytelling is, in large part, about the use of language. This tricky use of language as a sales technique is remarkably precise. Act I
Friends of Science | Providing Insight into Climate Change Abbattere gli euroscettici a colpi di pannelli solari di Massimo Micaletti Radio 24 annuncia che, sotto l’impulso di Ursula Von Der Leyen, la Commissione Europea e l’Unione Europea stanno ripensando se stesse, a fronte – poffarbacco! – di quei gaglioffi ingrati degli euroscettici che negli ultimi anni sono cresciuti esponenzialmente a destra come a sinistra. Al che, uno si concede un cauto “Ué!” ma ecco che, chiariti i termini di questo epocale ripensamento, si può tranquillamente tornare a riconoscere la solita amorevole solfa. Dunque, il piano di Sua magnanimità Ursula sarebbe il seguente: agli effetti dei vincoli di bilancio, gli Stati possono escludere dal conteggio gli investimenti in ecologia ma solo se sono già in regola coi parametri. Quindi, per intenderci, uno Stato non può spendere in sanità o pensioni o altri servizi sociali ma può farlo per sovvenzionare pale eoliche, pannelli solari, auto elettriche etc. e, attenzione, può farlo solo se ha già i conti a posto.

The Manufacturing of Greta Thunberg – for Consent series has been written in two volumes. [Volume I: ACT I • ACT II • ACT III • ACT IV • ACT V • ACT VI • Addenda I] [Book form] [Volume II: An Object Lesson In Spectacle • ACT I • ACT II • ACT III • ACT IV • ACT V] [ACTS VI & VII forthcoming] Volume I: In ACT I, I disclosed that Greta Thunberg, the current child prodigy and face of the youth movement to combat climate change, served as special youth advisor and trustee to the foundation established by “We Don’t Have Time”, a burgeoning mainstream tech start-up. Let’s begin.
