Greenpeace Report : Koch brothers and Exxon deserve medals

We have been awestruck by the audacity of the global warming scam. If taken to fruition, it will destroy freedom and democracy, devastate the economies of the modern world, and concentrate unimaginable power and wealth in the hands of a small international group of politically connected criminals.

Organized through the United Nations, scientific research and education related to weather came nearly to an end. A handful of people controlled reports from a UN’s International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). These reports were used to plant extraordinary and scientifically unfounded predictions about catastrophic global warming caused by human existence. Left leaning journalists, including a new core of “environmental journalists” jumped at the chance to declare that humans are bad and more government power is an urgent necessity.

Financing of science and education through governments aimed directly at pushing the political agenda, with IPCC reports as the excuse. Skeptics were ostracized while thousands of scientists were paid to include global warming fears in published works. Suddenly, there were claims that every scary thing imaginable was being caused by or would be caused by man-made global warming.

Former Vice President Al Gore, claiming “scientific consensus,” exaggerated the IPCC claims in a powerfully promoted propaganda film An Inconvenient Truth, which made its way into many class rooms to frighten young children. By the mid-2000s, many people believed that global warming might be something to fear and that government action might be prudent.

It was time for “business as usual.” Threats from politicians to industry became credible. Barack Obama for example, directly threatened to put the coal industry out of business. Threats of sky-rocketing taxes and operating costs put business globally on the defensive. Woe unto those who didn’t get into the game. Lobbying activity sky-rocketed.

The movement made it a long way past the starting gate and seemed unstoppable. Thanks to 10s of thousands of honest scientists and other analysts, the tide began to turn. Information spread across the Internet that the majority of scientists do not believe the IPCC claims. If you were interested enough to look, clear explanations were available on the lack of actual scientific support behind the claims along with scientific evidence of falsehood. Books and articles were published on both the scientific hoax and the political and economic damage that would be caused if the political agenda succeeded. (my first)

Late last year, the public was suddenly jerked into reality by publication of emails and other information hacked from computers at the East Anglia Climate Research Unit in England. The emails included exchanges between some of the most influential scientists involved in the global scam. They discussed manipulating data to give fraudulent support to catastrophic global warming claims, hiding data to keep from having their work checked, and controlling the peer-review process to maintain an aire of scientific credibility, among other things. It was the first in a series of smoking guns.

According to a report by Greenpeace, public awareness that the man-made global warming scare is a hoax has been driven primarily by a “conspiracy” involving Charles and David Koch of Koch Industries and ExxonMobil. I know. I know. Greenpeace. Why bother. Hardly a credible source. Greenpeace renews the Bush-Big Oil conspiracy theory to destroy the planet to counter evidence that they and other conspirators have been lying about climate to promote their agenda. Their shocking evidence is that industrialists give money to organizations that openly state that they operate on private donations and are pro-industry and that they also donate to political campaigns. I guess the extremely far left now has their political agenda so well supported by public money that they have no need for private donations to such organizations as Greenpeace and Democrats apparently no longer accept campaign contributions. (sarcasm)

But let’s just assume for the sake of argument that there is something to the Greenpeace theory. Koch Industries and ExxonMobil have provided large amounts of money to fund the battle against “climate change” propaganda. Good for them. Good for industry. Good for business. Good for the people.

We’re not out of the woods yet. Barack Obama illegally ordered the EPA to implement CO2 regulation after the Senate refused to pass his “climate” bill. So deep are his back-room financial deals, that not even public awareness that it is a scam is stopping him.

The battle must be fought and we must never surrender. If Charles and David Koch and ExxonMobil are playing even a fraction of the part in public education as Greenpeace claims, then we owe them our thanks. I urge you to write your congressperson today and recommend Congressional Gold Medals for the brothers and for ExxonMobil executives. Tell them it’s based on a Greenpeace report.

    No Roger, I don’t believe YOU have to assume…

    Steve McIntyre deserves a medal too!

    Let’s not forget to give Mother Nature a round of applause, as well, for not cooperating with those that extrapolate short term trends to scare people into a political agenda.

    And the “hacker”, whoever he/she may be.

    And why is Koch supporting some chatity (like Gates does) (yes chatity is seen by greenpeace as bad sience and propaganda, see
    “The Institute was founded in San Francisco, California in 1977 by Edward H. Crane and initially funded by Charles G. Koch.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cato_Institute
    “The Cato Institute is non-partisan, and its scholars’ views are not consistently aligned with either major political party. For example, Cato scholars were sharply critical of George W. Bush’s administration (2001–2009) on a wide variety of issues, including the Iraq war, civil liberties, education, agriculture, energy policy, and excessive government spending.”

    “Charles Koch–no surprise–disdains government and the political class. He has invested tens of millions of dollars into free-market think-tanks and political activist groups (including several founded by this author). He’s disgusted with the runaway federal budget under the Republicans, and he proposes that “every new law should be subject to the question: Will it strengthen the culture of prosperity?” Won’t about 90% of the laws fail that test? “Yes, that’s exactly what I mean,” he replies. “But the problem isn’t the people in government, it’s the system–the incentives are perverse.”

    Mr. Koch’s latest crusade to spread the ideas of liberty has been his sponsorship of a twice-yearly conference that gathers together many of the most successful American entrepreneurs, from T. Boone Pickens to former Circuit City CEO Rick Sharp. The objective is to encourage these captains of industry to help fund free-market groups devoted to protecting the fragile infrastructure of liberty. That task seems especially critical given that so many of the global superrich, like George Soros and Warren Buffett, finance institutions that undermine the very system of capitalism that made their success possible. Isn’t this just the usual rich liberal guilt, I ask. “No,” he says, “I think they simply haven’t been sufficiently exposed to the ideas of liberty.” http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008343 So secretly in the WSJ ;)

    So everypenny to the cause freedom is labeled as wrong by greenpease
    see“Koch beneficiaries 2005-2008
    Mercatus center: ($9.2m received from Koch grants 2005-2008) Conservative thinktank at George Mason University.,Americans for prosperity. ($5.17m)., Institute for humane studies ($1.96m). Heritage foundation ($1.62m).Cato Insitute ($1.02m).Manhattan Institute ($800,000).Washington legal foundation ($655,000).Federalist society for law ($542,000).National center for policy analysis ($130,000)American council on science and health ($113,800) ”

    “According to a report by Greenpeace, public awareness that the man-made global warming scare is a hoax has been driven primarily by a “conspiracy” involving Charles and David Koch of Koch Industries and ExxonMobil.” Actually what drives skepticism is logic. The more one knows about our climate and its history, the less likely one is to believe this anthropogenic global warming drivel. I was calling this a scam long before it was fashionable, not because Exxon or anyone else was paying me, but because I have an extensive background in Earth Sciences.

    The whole free world owes these people and organizations that revealed this criminal AGW hoax a big thank-you.

    Greenpeace Report : Koch brothers and Exxon deserve medals by Roger F. Gay… a master piece! Brilliant!

    I think there are many people around the world who also deserve medals for enlightening the world on the greatest scam ever perpetrated on mankind.

    Of special mention is Lord Monckton (the one man Al Gore fears the most) who encourages his audiences around the world not to believe what he says… but rather, to check the facts oneself before coming to one’s own conclusion(s).

    Well, I did this. I went one step further and read “Climate Change Reconsidered” – the 2009 Report of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC). I can see why the pro-global warming media and IPCC sympathizers did not want to give any publicity to this report.

    Mervyn;

    And don’t forget me. I won’t try to compete with Lord Monkton; but maybe a nice certificate with an A for effort befitting the budget category of MND writers. :)
