To be blunt, the mythology promoted the warmist conspiracy of
self-interested pols and apparatchiks fails to convince the rational
and knowledgeable. It is unproven that warming is occurring or that
if occurring man could have caused any of it or that if occurring man
could slow it. Lots of links available upon request, from me or from
Google. Try “Mann
hockey stick Mark Steyn”.

French
Mathematicians Blast UN’s ‘Costly & Pointless Crusade’
Against Global Warming

– As the United Nations gears up for its next international
conference on climate change in Paris next month (COP 21), a scathing
white paper released by a society of French mathematicians calls its
fight against global warming “absurd” and “a costly and
pointless crusade”.
“You
would probably have to go quite a long way back in human…history to
find [such a] mad obsession,” according to a translated summary of
the document released in September by the Paris-based Société de
Calcul Mathématique SA.
The
mathematicians harshly criticized a “crusade [that] has invaded
every area of activity and everyone’s thinking," noting that
"the battle [against] CO2 has become a national priority.
"How
have we reached this point in a country that claims to be rational?”
they ask, adding that mathematicians “do not believe in crusades.
They look at facts, figures, comments and arguments.”
“There
is not a single fact, figure…[or] observation that leads us to
conclude the world’s climate is in any way ‘disturbed,” the
paper states. “It is variable, as it has always been. … Modern
methods are far from being able to accurately measure the planet’s
overall temperature even today, so measurements made 50 or 100 years
ago are even less reliable.”
Noting
that concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) have “always” varied,
the French mathematicians also said that after processing the raw
data on hurricanes themselves, they verified that “they are no more
frequent now than they have been in the past.”
“We
are being told that a temperature increase of more than 2 degrees
C[elsius] by comparison with the beginning of the industrial age
would have dramatic consequences and absolutely has to be prevented.
"When
they hear this, people worry. Has there not already been an increase
of 1.9 degrees C?
“Actually,
no. The figures for the period 1995-2015 show an upward trend of
about 1 degree C every hundred years! Of course, these figures,
[which] contradict public policies, are never brought to public
attention,” the white paper stated.

The
French mathematicians also said that the UN’s climate models have
failed to take into account natural phenomena that affects climate
far more than human activity.
Human
impact on the climate is “tiny, quite negligible in comparison with
natural causes,” they point out. “Human beings can do nothing
about solar activity, the state of the oceans, the temperature of the
Earth’s magna, or the composition of the atmosphere.”
Furthermore,
the work done by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) does not meet the basic standards set by reputable scientific
journals because its “conclusions go [contrary] to observed facts;
the figures used are deliberately chosen to support its conclusions
(with no regard for the most basic scientific honesty); and the
variability of natural phenomena is passed over without comment.”
Even
if there were such a thing as global warming, “then we should
celebrate,” the mathematicians said. “And if it does not exist,
then we simply shall have to carry on switching on the central
heating.”
“French
policy [on] CO2 is particularly stupid, since we are one of the
countries with the cleanest industrial sector,” the white paper
pointed out, slamming “virtuous” policies that have resulted in a
significant loss of industrial activity and the resultant loss of
jobs that has left three million French unemployed even as global CO2
emissions continue to rise.
“If
we were in France to stop all industrial activity (let’s not talk
about our intellectual activity, [which] ceased long ago), if we were
to eradicate all traces of animal life, the composition of the
atmosphere would not alter in any measurable, noticeable way,” they
said.
The
authors also lamented the abandonment of “the adversarial
principle” that distinguishes democracies from dictatorships:
“People
who do not believe in global warming have been told to shut up. No
public debate, no contradictory discourse. No articles in scientific
journals. They simply have been told that the case is proven and it
is time to take action… We are simply required to keep quiet and do
what we are told. No second opinion is permitted.”
“It
is on the debris of the fundamental principles of the law and of
democracy that this white paper has been written.”
