Chris Morrison, the Environment Editor of the Daily Sceptic, has written a new book, now available on Amazon. It is called IMPLAUSIBLE: How scientists, activist politicians and journalists invented a climate crisis, weaponised junk computer model findings and claimed a fake consensus to promote the collectivist Net Zero fantasy. Below, you can read some extracts from the book.
Dutch engineer, entrepreneur and climate researcher Theo Wolters used his presentation at the EIKE Conference to challenge one of the central assumptions underlying current climate policy: that science has conclusively established that human CO2 emissions are responsible for the recent global warming and that this warming is potentially catastrophic.
Malthusian gloom never really goes out of fashion; it merely changes its wardrobe. Where the Club of Rome had mainframe computers and system dynamics diagrams, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) has Earth-system modelling and a “Planetary Health Check” branded website. The underlying choice on offer, then as now, is the same: either humanity abandons industrial civilisation or it faces Armageddon.
Five months after the IPCC ruled that the infamous RCP8.5 doomsday climate scenario was “implausible”, the British Met Office is still whipping up unjustified Net-Zero convenient fear, says Chris Morrison.
Climate doomerism rests on far shakier ground than its confidence would suggest. Gregory Wrightstone’s A Very Convenient Warming: How Modest Warming and More CO2 Are Benefiting Humanity sets out to invert nearly every assumption underlying the modern climate conversation.
There is still some cachet for scientists in “climate change”, but that is obviously waning, says statistician William Briggs. Unless somebody comes up with a new angle to intrigue other scientists on how we’re all doomed, then fatigue will continue driving the numbers of climate change articles lower.
What would Americans gain from eliminating every ton of carbon dioxide emitted from the use of fossil fuels in the United States? The answer, says Vijay Jayaraj, is nothing.
“Amendment to Climate Assessment is only a first [...]
Der Physiker Jonathan Cohler hat eine kontroverse und kompromisslose Herausforderung an eine der zentralen Annahmen der modernen Klimawissenschaft und -politik formuliert. Er argumentiert, dass der Anstieg des atmosphärischen Kohlendioxids in den letzten Jahrzehnten nicht auf menschliche Emissionen zurückzuführen ist, sondern das Ergebnis natürlicher Prozesse.
Physicist Jonathan Cohler has put forward a controversial and uncompromising challenge to one of the central assumptions of modern climate science and policy. He argues that the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide over the past few decades is not due to human emissions, but is the result of natural processes.
