October, 2019, Part 1, I Am A Global Warming Doubter and a Believer In Science: Obama's Hypocrisy, Firing Real Scientists, and More

Every month we have enough material to return to a continuing theme in this blog, namely that “I am a global warming doubter AND a believer in science.” This became of interest because of people like Al Gore who fanatically and verbosely claimed that you had to be an idiot to not believe in man made global warming. It has been my life belief that anyone that is that loud and that obnoxious is hiding something, that rather than argue facts and reality it is better to beat down and insult anyone who disagrees.

As we have dove into the whole issue of man made global warming, or its new rebranded title of climate change, we found that Al Gore and people like him were guilty of a number of things:
  • Ignoring science and realities that did not support their opinions and positions.
  • Rather than have an adult conversation about climate, these types of advocates like Gore sank to the level of insulting those who dared look at ALL science by calling them a variety of names including racists, homophobes, terrorists, flat earth believers, and other slanderous names.
  • Continuing to insist that politicians step up their intrusions into our lives with higher taxes, more regulations, and more control on our freedoms and standards of living based on a shaky theory at best.To see the past posts and the multitude of evidence that we have compiled that showed it is perfectly okay to be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, enter the phrase "global warming doubter” in the search box above or go through the monthly historical post listed on the right side of this page.
Thus, let’s see the latest facts and science that prove you can be a global warming doubter and a believer in science, regardless of what Al Gore proclaims.

1) We have often discussed and pointed out examples where global warming advocates either make up data and statistics or misuse them in order to make a point that is often pointless. We know that leading global warming scientists around the world have been caught fudging research numbers to get the answers they want, not what reality is telling them. We are told over and over again that 97% of climate scientists tell us that mankind is causing global warming and just as often we have shown what a bogus number that 97% is.

Unfortunately, a real life scientist using real life data got royally screwed for the simple act of being honest:
  • According to an article by Warner Todd Huston on October 21, 2019 reported on the Godfather Politics website how a real scientist got fired because she proved that polar bears are not being killed off by climate change/global warming.
  • Susan Crockford, a zoologist by training and profession, proved that polar bears are not dying out because of climate change.
  • After teaching at the University of Victoria for 15 years, her contract was not renewed and she has been shown the door at the university without any comment or reason from the university.
  • She has been a leading researcher in both the history of dog domestication and an in-demand speaker on her scientific research into polar bears.
  • She claims she was fired because her views did not support the theory of man made global warming and climate change.
  • According to the Washington Times: “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: “When push came to shove, UVic threw me under the bus rather than stand up for my academic freedom,” said Ms. Crockford, who earned a Ph.D. in interdisciplinary studies, specifically biology and anthropology, in 2004.”
When you cannot argue facts and logic then just attack the credibility of your opponent. That is what the global warming, climate change cultists have devolved to, not wanting to hear alternative viewpoints, only their own biased myths.

2) It seems that anything that happens in the world today is a result of man made global warming/climate change and must be addressed IMMEDIATELY or we face dire consequences:
  • Warner Todd Huston writing for the Godfather Politics website on August 24, 2019 provided an example of this false and incorrect panic.
  • Brazil has recently suffered through some horrific wildfires, fires that got so bad that the Brazilian government called out their military to help put out the flames.
  • Almost immediately the word got out from the global warming crowd that the fires in the Amazon rain forest in Brazil are endangering 20% of the world’s oxygen.
  • Thus, if the fires were not stopped soon we would run out of oxygen.
  • As always not to be bothered with facts and realities, Presidential candidate Kamala Harris tweeted out this false statistic about 20% of the world’s oxygen: “Brazil's President Bolsonaro must answer for this devastation. The Amazon creates over 20% of the world's oxygen and is home to one million Indigenous people. Any destruction affects us all.”
  • CNN, never missing a chance to misrepresent global warming, got into the 20% act also: “The Amazon, which produces about 20% of earth's oxygen, is often referred to as "the planet's lungs. An inferno in the world's largest rain forest, two-thirds of which is in Brazil, threatens the ecosystem there and also affects the entire globe.”
  • Congresswoman Barbara Lee: “The Amazon produces 20% of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. If we fail to combat climate change now, soon we won’t have clean air to breathe. We must take #ClimateActionNow. This is not a drill or a hoax.”
  • The article also contains a slew of other less famous people mimicking the same statistics, the Amazon rain forest produces 20% of the world’s oxygen
  • And while their concern is admirable, their statistic is way off.
  • According to stats and real research cited in the article and research by a Dr. Jonathan Foley, it is physically impossible for the Amazon rain forest to produce 20% of the world’s oxygen, best case it produces 6%, less than one third of the nonsensical number being tweeted about by global warming advocates.
Three things of importance here:
  1. The fires are serious and are causing damage to the environment, animals and the economy in Brazil and need to be addressed as quickly as possible.
  2. However, I really cannot take a global warming advocate seriously if their emotional response to the fires is off by a factor of three which tells me they are either intentionally lying to get their view across or are too ignorant or too lazy to do a simple look up on a simple statistic.
  3. And finally, I would rather believe a real scientist, Dr. Jonathan Foley, than a failing Presidential candidate, a Congresswoman who probably has absolutely NO climate expertise, or a biased news network who usually loses out to the Hallmark Channel or Cupcake wars for viewership ratings.
3) One of the biggest advocates for man made global warming and the myth that 97% of climate scientists believe in man made global warming, was former President Barack Obama. He was supposedly so into global warming that he entered the country into a stupid, idiotic climate agreement that was signed in Paris, an agreement that had no teeth and would have done nothing to curtail so-called global warming while making American considerably less wealthy.

I say supposedly because:
  • According to Richard W. Rahn, writing for the Washington Times, Obama recently purchased a home on Martha’s Vineyard:
  • Rahn: “If you really thought that the ocean level was rising rapidly, would you buy a house next to the sea? If you really thought that increased carbon dioxide emissions threatened the very existence of mankind, would you be so selfish as to fly around in a private jet, have houses with many times the carbon footprint of the average person, etc. etc.? Former President Obama just bought his family a very large seafront home. Many of the most vocal Hollywood crowd have multiple large homes, including on the beach, private jets, limos, etc. Their actions are more important than their forked-tongue utterances.”
  • This Obama mansion costs in excess of $15 million so there seems to be a disconnect: if global warming was going to destroy the world unless the U.S. signed off on the Paris Climate Agreement, as Obama insisted, then why did he risk putting $15 million of his wealth at such a high risk?
  • Or did he view the global warming fallacy as a way to gain more control over us, reducing our freedoms, but enlarging his control and greed?
Since Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez predicts that the world will end in about ten years because of man made global warming and climate change, it does not sound like a good investment by Obama.

We are being sarcastic, of course. Obama is not a real estate idiot, buying an island out in the Atlantic that would be one of the first dry land pieces to be submerged by global warming melted glaciers. Nothing illustrates the hypocrisy of the whole global warming fallacy than Obama buying an island in the ocean.

The hypocrisy of Obama, the fallacy of false statistics, and punishing real scientists who tell the truth based on real science. Another three reasons why I am still a global warming doubter and a believer in science.
