 |  Subject: EXPOSING THE SECRET TO THE WARMIST HOAX  Wed May 20, 2015 6:04 am | |
| Well, it finally happened. Somebody let the Fascist cat out of the Warmist bag.
Of course, TTP has being doing this for 10 years, starting with Solar Warming (September 2005). Now, however, someone with a global megaphone has said it too, and with crystal clarity.
That someone is Maurice Newman, former chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, former chairman of the Australian Stock Exchange, and currently chairman of the Australian Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council.
His world class C.V. of business expertise is as impressive as it is long; no one has Prime Minister Tony Abbott's ear on business and economics than him.
Last Friday (5/08), Newman wrote an op-ed in The Australian, Oz's largest national newspaper. To say it's caused a Total Libtard Meltdown Down Under is a gross understatement. Here it is in full, for it's important you read it all (my parentheses for clarity):
- Quote :
- The UN Is Using Climate Change As A Tool, Not An Issue
It's a well-kept secret, but 95 percent of the climate models we are told prove the link between human CO2 emissions and catastrophic global warming have been found, after nearly two decades of temperature stasis, to be in error. It's not surprising.
We have been subjected to extravagance from climate catastrophists for close to 50 years.
In January 1970, Life magazine, based on "solid scientific evidence," claimed that by 1985 air pollution would reduce the sunlight reaching the Earth by half. In fact, across that period sunlight fell by between 3 per cent and 5 per cent.
In a 1971 speech, Paul Ehrlich said: "If I were a gambler I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000."
Fast forward to March 2000 (in England) and David Viner, senior research scientist at the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, told The Independent, "Snowfalls are now a thing of the past."
In December 2010, the Mail Online reported, "Coldest December since records began as temperatures plummet to minus 10C bringing travel chaos across Britain."
We've had our own busted predictions. Perhaps the most preposterous was climate alarmist Tim Flannery's 2005 observation: "If the computer records are right, these drought conditions will become permanent in eastern Australia."
Subsequent rainfall and severe flooding have shown the records or his analysis are wrong. We've swallowed dud prediction after dud prediction.
What's more, the (UN) Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which we were instructed was the gold standard on global warming, has been exposed repeatedly for misrepresentation and shoddy methods.
Weather bureaus appear to have "homogenized" data to suit narratives. NASA's claim that 2014 was the warmest year on record was revised, after challenge, to only 38 per cent probability.
Extreme weather events, once blamed on global warming, no longer are, as their frequency and intensity decline.
Why then, with such little evidence, does the UN insist the world spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year on futile climate change policies? Perhaps Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN's Framework on Climate Change has the answer?
In Brussels last February she said, "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution."
In other words, the real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook.
Figueres is on record saying democracy is a poor political system for fighting global warming. Communist China, she says, is the best model.
This is not about facts or logic. It's about a new world order under the control of the UN. It is opposed to capitalism and freedom, and has made environmental catastrophism a household topic to achieve its objective.
Figueres says that, unlike the Industrial Revolution, "This is a centralized transformation that is taking place." She sees the US partisan divide on global warming as "very detrimental." Of course. In her authoritarian world there will be no room for debate or disagreement.
Make no mistake, climate change is a must-win battlefield for authoritarians and fellow travelers. As (former US Senator, D-CO) Timothy Wirth, president of the UN Foundation, says: "Even if the climate change theory is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy."
Having gained so much ground, eco-catastrophists won't let up. After all, they have captured the UN and are extremely well funded. They have a hugely powerful ally in the White House.
They have successfully enlisted compliant academics and an obedient and gullible mainstream media -- the ABC and Fairfax in Australia -- to push the scriptures regardless of evidence.
They will continue to present the climate change movement as an independent, spontaneous consensus of concerned scientists, politicians and citizens who believe human activity is "extremely likely" to be the dominant cause of global warming. ("Extremely likely" is a scientific term?)
And they will keep mobilizing public opinion using fear and appeals to morality. UN support will be assured through promised wealth redistribution from the West, even though its anti-growth policy prescriptions will needlessly prolong poverty, hunger, sickness and illiteracy for the world's poorest.
Figueres said at a climate summit in Melbourne recently that she was "truly counting on Australia's leadership" to ensure most coal stayed in the ground.
Hopefully, like India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tony Abbott isn't listening. India knows the importance of cheap energy and is set to overtake China as the world's leading importer of coal. Even Germany is about to commission the most coal-fired power stations in 20 years.
There is a real chance Figueres and those who share her centralized power ambitions will succeed. As the UN's December climate change conference in Paris approaches, Australia will be pressed to sign even more futile job-destroying climate change treaties.
Resisting will be politically difficult. But resist we should. We are already paying an unnecessary social and economic price for empty gestures. Enough is enough.
Maurice Newman is chairman of the Prime Minister's Business Advisory Council.
Wow. This is exactly what TTP has been saying for years - that the secret to the Warmist Hoax is that Warmism has replaced Marxism as the Left's rationale for power.
(You do know that TTP has been selling Global Warming Is A Fascist Hoax t-shirts for years, right? The back of the t-shirt gives the data why. For a fun read on that data, along with fascinating solid science, see Aikido and Glowarmer Flea from May 2007.)
Mr. Newman and I have mutual friends, and via them I'm sending him The Watermelon White House from March 2009. See how this quote marries up with what he says:
- Quote :
- Watermelons are green on the outside, red on the inside.
The goal of conservatives is freedom. The goal of liberals is power. Marxism was only a convenient rationale for them to seize power when Marx's philosophy was in vogue. After its failure, they went in search for another rationale - and they decided on environmentalism.
But they couldn't gain enough traction with such things as DDT and thinning bird eggshells. Nor with such fascist property-rights destroyers as the Endangered Species Act. Then they hit the jackpot with "global warming" and "climate change."
This was the perfect rationale. It demonized human beings and gave post-Christians something to feel sinful about. It gave them a powerful rationale, even more powerful than Marxism, to seize control over people's lives. It specifically enabled them to demand control of the very stuff of life and energy itself, carbon - which in a true Orwellian act they claimed was an evil pollutant.
Thus the phrase, Green is the new Red.
Or this from HFR 01/03/14 last year:
- Quote :
- To understand The Warmist Hoax, you must grasp this: Climate garbage in, religious garbage out...
That's because Warmism is not science, it is religious fanaticism. It is believed in not on the basis of empirical disconfirmable evidence, but on willful irrational dogma. Warmism is the Religion of the Left.
The God of the Left, what it worships, is Power - their power and control over us. That's why the Left is irretrievably Fascist. To call Lefties "Marxists" or "Socialists" or "Communists" misses the point. Marxism, et al was only the intellectual or ideological rationale as an excuse, a means, to achieve their goal of power over others.
Maurice Newman, Australia's most prestigious business leader and Prime Minister Abbott's close personal advisor, has "touched to the point" on Warmism just as precisely as Ronald Reagan did when he identified the Soviet Union as an "Evil Empire."
And just as every leftie useful idiot, and every journalist and academic being bribed by the KGB, chimed in with Moscow to hysterically condemn Reagan's stating the truth, so now every Warmist religious kook, every libtard journalist, every scientist bought off with bribes (called "funding") to "prove" Warmist claptrap are all in hair-pulling hysteria over Newman's doing the same.
The entire Oz Libtard Media is shocked and scandalized that Tony Abbott's chief business adviser thinks climate change is a hoax created by the United Nations as a ploy to implement global authoritarian rule.
Their only response, of course, is to call him names like "lunatic" and "senile," while demanding his resignation and that Abbott denounce him. Google "Maurice Newman" in News, and you'll search in vain for anything dispassionate, pointing out the obvious that the UN's Ms. Figueres is on public record as saying how Newman quotes her. The same with that Democrat Fascist from Colorado, Tim Wirth.
Yet the eco-fascist hysteria over Newman is a priceless opportunity to expose the Warmist Hoax for what it is. Tout le Oz monde is waiting for Abbott's response.
If Abbott says: "I agree with Maurice. The issue of man-made ‘climate change' is all about authoritarian control over our lives, not science. What Maurice said is accurate." - it will make headline news across the globe.
The Left will go berserk-o globally, not just in Oz. And suddenly, millions upon millions of folks everywhere will understand that what they suspect - in almost every poll anywhere, "climate change" is near the bottom of the list of the average person's concerns - is true.
Tony Abbott, in other words, now has the chance to substantially increase global freedom by exposing the secret to the Warmist Hoax. All he has to do is say four words, "I agree with Maurice." Freedom-lovers around the world are praying you'll say them, Tony. We know you can do it, mate.
