Environmentalists are killing environmentalism
----------------------------------------------

(...)

Global warming, and latterly climate change, became the major plank
of environmentalist's religious campaign. They used it to dictate
and control how everyone else should live and behave, as a survey
of the web pages of Greenpeace, the Sierra Club or Friends of the
Earth show. The level of commitment is a real problem. It's
exaggerated by the declining economy and people experience the
economic impacts of their tactics and extremism.

Leaked emails from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) disclosed what
several scientists had suspected for a long time about the corruption
of climate science. Subsequent exposure of the problems with the IPCC
Reports led distinguished oceanographer Dr. Robert Stephenson of the
U.S. Office of Naval Research and NASA to say, 'Even when exposed,
the IPCC leaders claimed it was their 'right' to change scientific
conclusions so that political leaders could better understand the
report.' 'To the world's geophysical community, these unethical
practices and total lack of integrity by the leadership of the IPCC
have been enough to reveal that their collective claims were - and
are - fraudulent.' But Bruce Cox, the executive director of
Greenpeace 'blamed the hacked emails to being politically motivated.'

John Bennett, executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada, made
the same argument, saying: 'Mann and his colleagues were simply
speaking in their own high-level code, and a number of things were
taken out of context.'

His remarks underscore lack of understanding of climate science, the
serious limitations of the IPCC Reports and what the emails actually
disclose. It is not surprising because on March 10 UN Secretary
General Ban Ki Moon said, 'Let me be clear: the threat posed by
climate change is real. Nothing that has been alleged or revealed in
the media recently alters the fundamental scientific consensus on
climate change. Nor does it diminish the unique importance of the
IPCC?s work.'

(...)

Climate scientists at the CRU used the IPCC, a political vehicle
established by the UN, to provide the false scientific basis for all
energy and environmental policies. They created what Essex and
McKitrick called the Doctrine of Certainty in their book Taken by
Storm. They define this as, 'The basic not-to-be-questioned
assertions of the Doctrine' are:
1. The Earth is warming.
2. Warming has already been observed.
3. Humans are causing it.
4. All but a handful of scientists on the fringe believe it.
5. Warming is bad.
6. Action is required immediately.
7. Any action is better than none.
8. Claims of uncertainty only cover the ulterior motives of individuals
   aiming to stop needed action.
9. Those who defend uncertainty are bad people.

They conclude, 'The Doctrine is not true. Each assertion is either
manifestly false or the claim to know it is false.' Remember this
was written before disclosure of the emails and the many IPCC errors.

But the most devastating proof of the scientific inadequacies of the
IPCC Reports is the complete failure of every prediction they have
made. They were as wrong on every issue as the Club of Rome Limits
to Growth predictions. Ability to predict weather accurately is
difficult in 24 hours and virtually impossible beyond 72 hours.
AGW proponents claimed weather was different than climate and
predictable with a degree of certainty. This is false because
climate is an average of the weather. If their claim was correct
forecasts in the brief 20 years since their first Report in 1990
would be correct. Every one is wrong. They tried to avoid the
problem by switching to a range of scenarios but even the lowest
wrong. These are facts Ban Ki Moon and environmental groups can
understand. By ignoring them and crying wolf when the wolf is
already in the flock undermines the logical and reasonable adoption
of environmentalism.

Environmentalists took over environmentalism and preached to
everyone how they knew best and only they cared. How dare they?
We are all environmentalists. With blind faith they, deceived,
misdirected, threatened, destroyed jobs, careers, opportunities
and development. Now those who paid the price will be less willing
to listen or support genuine environmental concerns.
