Acceptance of anthropogenic climate change is anti-establishment.
You can lose your career and reputation for it.
The same people, Fred Singer and Fred Seitz, who created the doubt on DDT, CFCs and smoking were paid by the oil industry to discredit and personally attack scientists, such as Ben Santer. The assault began in the 1990s with a campaign to creat doubt in the public’s mind over the consensus of overwhelming evidence supporting human-made global warming.
Santer showed that humans, not the sun, were warming the atmosphere. He did this by demonstrating that the inner troposphere was warming and moving upward, while the outer stratosphere, which is exposed to space, was cooling. In 1995 the Freds wrote letters to the press, such as the Wall Street Journal, accusing Santer of tampering with these figures. However, Santer had merely made changes to his paper on the advice of his peer reviewers, a very common practice and not violating any rules. The Freds also claimed that Santer had admitted he’d done it to make the data ‘fit with political policy’. Santer had admitted no such thing and there wasn’t even a political policy to fit with at the time! Santer lost his job, his reputation and his marriage for demonstrably doing nothing wrong. This muck still seems to be sticking even to this day.
Singer and Seitz argued, on behalf of the tobacco industry that the EPA had rigged the science on second hand smoke. They also claimed, on behalf of the fossil fuel industry that there was no global warming. Then they argued that if there was global warming, it was natural. Then, that even if it was quite bad, we could adapt to it.
In 1859 Tyndall predicted that if humans were increasing the temperature by trapping heat then nights and winters (when the earth should be cooling with less influence of the sun) should warm faster than daytime and summers. This is what has been observed.
Climate science began in earnest again in the 1960s. However, political and industry policy has been holding it at bay since then. For example, only the top two graphs of James Hansen’s 1978 graphs were presented to Congress. This obscured the fact the when the sun and volcanic activity were taken into account, carbon dioxide and temperature show very good correlation.
The ratio of carbon 14 in atmospheric carbon was also used to show that carbon was coming from under the ground. However, by 1980 the oil companies had won the war on climate doubt. Climate scientists were the Galileos of their time. Climate deniers were the establishment. Climate deniers have never been censored or discredited. Why would they be?
Fast forward to the climate denial in the 21st century. In Cook’s 2013 analysis of 21 years of climate papers, of those that reported whether or not anthropogenic climate change was happening, 97% said that it was. The fact that I constantly get told there is no concensus and the 97% has been debunked means I know this is all coming from the industry playbook.
In 2023 there were unprecedentedly large and unprecedentedly early Canadian bush fires.
Yes,the total global burned area has been decreasing because of agriculture changes and increases in intensive farming as GDP increases in a country. Yes, these pictures are all over the news. Not because ‘they’ started them (and polluted their own children at the same time) as a plan to control us but because a) they make great clickbait, they’re very exciting, make lots of money for shareholders and we love them (until we remember the 3 billion animals harmed and the half a billion animals that died in the Australian fires in 2020 and then we feel really sad again).
And b) because yes, heat is hot news, because it gets much HOTTER. According to NCEI the 10 warmest years in the 143-year record have all occurred since 2010, with the last nine years (2014–2022) ranking as the nine warmest years on record. However, the linking of this heat to human activity has all but dropped out of the news.
According to NOAA's 2021 Annual Climate Report the combined land and ocean temperature has increased at an average rate of 0.14 degrees Fahrenheit (0.08 degrees Celsius) per decade since 1880. The average rate of increase since 1981 has been more than twice as fast: 0.32 °F (0.18 °C) per decade.
In 2022 the combination of below-normal precipitation and hot conditions dried out soils, lowered streamflow and groundwater, and desiccated crops and other vegetation. Prolonged drought and heatwave dried up the rivers in China.
The Yangtze River dried up, potentially affecting the economy of the whole world (and perhaps revealing the solution!).
2021 and 2022 were both cooling La Nina years, and many reports say that warming El Nino now is back in 2023.
The figure below shows that global temperature is rising independently of the short-term ENSO noise. 2022 was the warmest La Nina year in the observational record. In fact, El Nino, La Nina and neutral years are all getting warmer.
‘The reader should by now be in no doubt about the difference between the long term global temperature trend caused by increased greenhouse gas forcing and the noise that shorter-term wobbles like ENSO provide. You would have seen something similar during the descents into and climbs out of ice-ages too. That's because ENSO has likely been with us for a very long time indeed. Ever since the Pacific Ocean came close to its present day geography, millions of years ago, it has likely been there.’
By using small time periods, such as 13 month averages, it can be made to appear that global warming has stalled. However, when comparing more reasonable, 10 year periods, we see this:
The latest figures for June 2023- global temperature composites increased by a country mile and showed unprecedented sustained droughts and heat waves since records began.
Climate getting hotter will be used to sell us mad solutions, so that we can continue to burn fossil fuels and eat animal products. These include sending heat into space, carbon and methane capture and stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) to block the sun. This may be already happening, a test balloon in September. 2022 in the UK released 400 grams of sulphur dioxide, an allergen and irritant, into the atmosphere. Commercial planes apparently already release sulphur dioxide, so there is no reason to release more. Research is ‘hampered’ by both the public’s, as well as researchers opposition. For example, Make Sunsets projects were denounced because ‘Among other issues, observers were concerned that the launches had moved ahead without prior notice or approval, and because the company ultimately seeks to monetize such launches by selling “cooling credits’. And indeed blocking solar energy is not a good idea if you want to capture solar energy as fuel!
Pesticides and sprays may already be releasing aluminium, causing Alzheimers (a very lucrative industry) and crop failures (increasing reliance on disaster capitalists) among other things.
Statins were sold to us so that we could carry on eating saturated fat. Statins are harmful and don’t work but make a lot of money for pharma, and animal ag. Carbon and methane capture and SAI will be very harmful but may make a lot of money for Bill Gates, big oil and big animal ag.
The pandemic scam was created to make us take harmful vaccines and made a lot of money for Pfizer. This doesn’t mean that the issue of people being ill is not real. A lot of people die from human made pollution.
Toxic AZT doesn’t help malnourished Africans. Using poverty as a marketing opportunity for anti-virals, doesn’t stop poverty being real, devastating and deadly. Vaccines were not the answer to death from pollution. Statins are not the answer to diet induced heart disease. Harmful and mad mitigations will not be the answer to destruction caused by climate change.
Moving on to anti-vaxxers. Are they Galileo or the establishment? Clearly Galileo. Those who speak up against HIV/AIDS and vaccines are censored and discredited because they harm industry.
However, anti-vaxx does go together with anti-climate mitigation strategies, because they are money makers for industry and the root causes of issues are not being addressed. Anti-SRM are the new anti-vaxxers.
The marketing strategy of fossil fuel product, coal-burning, expensive, luxury, electric cars as sexy, green and virtue signalling is genius at not addressing the root cause nor structural change.
It reminds me of the campaign under Steve Jobs, when you could feel like a Jedi Knight fighting the evil, establishment Empire.
Just by buying the Microsoft rival product, an Apple computer.
The richest man in the world seems to want to be a hero of free speech and anti-establishment. It’s good for business. But there’s clearly nothing green about going to Mars.
Climate denial has ramped up, as the temperatures have hotted up and people start thinking they might do something about it.
I think that the anti-lockdown, anti-vaccine, anti-regulation movement was targeted at the beginning of the ‘pandemic’ by loud noises and forces on social media and in local groups. These voices were channelling us into having anti-feminist, anti-Russell Brand, anti-Yuval Noah Harai, anti-vegan, anti-compassion, anti- environmentalist, anti-wind and solar, anti-climate change, anti-science and anti-scientist feelings.
I’ve been called a troll, a bot, controlled opposition, a woke vegan jihadist whore, gullible, emotional, a complete fucking idiot and as foolish as a believer in safe and effective vaccines for challenging the wisdom of taking pharma product IVM, for calling out the sensationalised misuse of excess deaths and now for pointing out the glaringly obviously things that are happening on our planet. It is obvious where this is coming from. Petrochemical industries.
IVM (Mike Yeadon) and excess jab deaths (Jessica Hacket) are now recognised as a psy-ops by some.
What about confidence in science being destroyed by virology? Looking at the original scientific Fan Wu ‘Covid’ paper, we see that they have not lied, fudged or altered data. They’ve been absolutely honest. A new coronavirus associated with human respiratory disease in China.
‘Here we study a single patient who was a worker at the market and who was admitted to the Central Hospital of Wuhan on 26 December 2019 while experiencing a severe respiratory syndrome that included fever, dizziness and a cough.’
As the longest contigs generated by Megahit (30,474 nt) and Trinity (11,760 nt) both showed high similarity to the bat SARS-like coronavirus isolate bat SL-CoVZC45 and were found at a high abundance (Supplementary Tables 1, 2), the longer sequence (30,474 nt)—which covered almost the whole virus genome—was used for primer design for PCR confirmation and determination of the genome termini.’
They are not fudging. The error in their reasoning is clear for all to see if we look. It’s bad science. But the scientific method of reporting what they did, their actual results and conclusions, in order that others may criticise them, which many of us Galileos tried to do, holds true. Things go badly wrong when other scientist’s critiques are censored. When HIV is announced as the probable cause of AIDS at a press rather than a scientific conference, for example.
Similarly the historical data on the effectiveness of vaccines is not fudged, it just falls apart if you actually look at it and realise when vaccines were introduced. The tiny effect on PCR positivity in the covid mRNA jab trial seems to have been achieved by some dodgy and lax means, but these were reported by staff. The scientific method would insist that not only should the trial have been repeated by an independent lab, the absolute efficacy of the jab was negligible. The problem is not science, it’s industry and politicians.
In contrast to virology, the climate science doesn’t fall apart when you look right at it. I don't accept the alleged fudging of data by scientists as a reason to deny anthropogenic climate change. The evidence points to industry funded smearing of science in the media.
Accusations of tampering have been proved to be false. Characters have been assassinated without grounds. This is what happens when you speak out against the fossil fuel and animal ag industries.

I disagree. IMO you are wrong on this. I have followed this since 1983. At that time it was a weird theory coming out of England. I believed it until 1993-1994. After that it became less credible. And by the 00s it had become a hoax.
Really great article. It's not easy (speaking for myself) to parse through what exactly is the human contribution to climate change and what is propaganda being used to push a globalist agenda of control. I'm doing my best to not be swayed by those who only see it as either there's no problem whatsoever, or we should all kill ourselves to save the planet. I tend to focus more on the obvious polluting of rivers and air and poisoning of our food, as well as the horrific suffering produced by animal agriculture. Anytime big govt tells me that they have a solution, but that the solution won't involve making corporate polluters clean up their act, I immediately think it's a scam designed to centralize power and take away individual liberties. I've seen it too many times.
