I saw this tweet from the so called journalist (but really just a green activist) in the BBC:

@RHarrabin @Greenpeace @thegwpfcom @Revkin @DECCgovuk The #BBC were bought and sold to the vile industry hating alarmist scum years ago!

— Scottish Sceptic (@ScotClimate) December 8, 2015

I got as far as this on Greenpeace’s pathetic attempt to throw dirt:

In the exchange Clemente disclosed that for another report on “the Global Value of Coal” he was paid $50,000 by Peabody Energy – the sponsorship was mentioned in the small print of the paper,

Wow! Just wow!

Nothing illegal, nothing undeclared, nothing at all except an attempt to get a gullible journalists like Harrabin from the BBC to print greenpeace’s hatred and vile. And it went on:

Professor Happer, who is a physicist rather than a climatologist, told Greenpeace reporters that he would be willing to produce research promoting the benefits of carbon dioxide for $250 per hour. He asked that the money be paid to climate sceptic campaign group, the CO2 Coalition, of which he is a board member.
Happer described his work on carbon dioxide as a “labor of love”

Which in case Greenpeace don’t understand, means he does it for no money. In other words, he doesn’t get money you fools! But … my gosh!! If someone is willing to pay he wants it to go to his favourite charity

wow! just wow!

And to think gullible Harrabin was taken in by that!
And the non-scandal goes on. Having declared it was a “labor of love”, Happer was bold enough to then declare:

“If I write the paper alone, I don’t think there would be any problem stating that ‘the author received no financial compensation for this essay.’”

Wow! just wow!

That is a huge scandal – doing something as a labor of love and then stating the author received no financial compensation.

When will this stream of scandal end?

LOL

The biggest question I have is who now looks more stupid. Greenpeace for their failure to find any substantial evidence whatsoever or that fool Harrabin for tweeting their rubbish.

Wow! Just wow!

Follow up: REAL SCANDAL DEVELOPING

In what appears to be a concerted effort by the BBC and Gavin Schmidt – both (I assume) owe a duty of impartiality as public servants or under the BBC charter, it now appears they may both be part of a (failed) conspiracy with Greenpeace to smear the witnesses at the congressional hearing tonight.
Because I found Schmidt tweeting this:

And now his tweet has disappeared!!

OK, now it’s going to be impossible to work out how closely the tweet from Schmidt and Greenpeace coincided, but there is a real smell of corruption in the air from both Harrabin and Schmidt. There is nothing in this vile article by Greenpeace and Gavin’s tweet revealed an academic making it clear he did not work for money (he got a few travel expenses with is quite normal for most organisations).
No doubt this link will soon disappear showing the email exchange:

Anti-biotics are one of the greatest developments in human health (the others being clean water and sanitation). They have undoubtedly saved millions if not billions of lives and prevented others from being blighted by terrible and debilitating afflictions. Even something as simple as an appendix operation would be far more dangerous without anti-biotics because anti-biotics (used to) stop the infections that made operations so dangerous.
Daesh are a small aberration in history who whilst acting like a bacteria in their vile behaviour and whilst they may have killed thousands and thousands and blighted the lives of so many others, they are but a pimple compared to the megacaust that would occur without anti-biotics.
Whilst most people know that when prescribed anti-biotics we should take the stated dose and finish the course to ensure that all the bacteria have been killed ensuring that none survive to re-enter the environment, most people are totally unaware that vets and farmers routinely as in DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY completely disregard that advice so that the food we get is inevitably laced with anti-biotic immune bacteria.

Far be in for me to tell alarmists how to run their hate campaign against us sceptics, but I thought their tactic was to pretend we did not exist? As such why are they now doing all they can to tell the world that sceptic scientists are present at COP21 and that we have very different views? For example this hate filled piece from Grist:

Grist: Activists plaster Paris with posters of climate villains

Grist Activists plaster Paris with posters of climate villains Grist These names may be unfam­iliar to you, but they are climate crimi­nals, men (and woman) in the pocket of big business whose lives are dedicated to spreading misinfo­rmation on climate change. And right now, they are in Paris, attem­pting to sabotage the … etc.

Surely all they are doing is giving the the sceptic climate conference the “oxygen of publicity” and largely doing the work of those like Morano in publicising the fact that there is an alternative. And, from the huge effort they are having to put in we must be a very credible alternative view!

Because all they are really doing is providing publicity equivalent to this piece from Climate Depot:

Film Exposing Climate Agenda Premieres in Paris as ‘Wanted’ Posters Denounce Morano

On Dec. 7, Morano told MRCTV he is “expe­cting a huge splash” from the film premiere because it features liberals and scien­tists who have never publi­cally spoken out before.  “This is a movie made for American liberals and European liberals to recon­sider – because we feature French social­ists, we feature scien­tists who voted for Gore, we feature

I’m sure, it make the alarmists feel better to have “struck a blow” against us sceptics – but unless I’m very much mistaken, the biggest problem we sceptics have faced is getting press interest. And what better way to get press interest than to have a load of dimwitted climate activists making a fuss outside your meeting?

So, won’t it entirely back-fire? Indeed it did cross my mind that the protesters may have been tipped off by someone to help get press coverage!

But what it does seem to mean is that we sceptics are now in the mainstream. That whether or not they like it, the alarmists have lost the battle to keep the public from hearing our views. So, having failed to stop the public being interested, all they can do now is to try to attack us and use (rather pathetic) attempts to discredit us.

And … OK … OK !! … let me be honest … every time I see things like these posters I always hope that I’ll be there. And yet again I’m disappointed. Do you think I should send them a picture?

In most normal events bringing in world leaders, one expects newspaper coverage to increase. In contrast during cop21, I would swear the coverage has gone down. Indeed, it’s hardly worth looking at what the media are printing daily – because after 5minutes skimming to find anything with any meet in it, I realised I reading yesterday’s news. So, it doesn’t even take the time for coffee to cool, let alone drink it.
But I thought a lot was going on with the “#cop21” hashtag – indeed, there were 10s of thousands of tweets every day most with glossy PR pictures. So, I then filtered the hashtag for “only those that have had replies” – it was then dead!! Again I was getting less than a dozen a day. In other words, all those 10s of thousands of tweets are generating no real interest – they are just junk spewing onto the internet, almost certainly paid for by the public purse, which no one reads. And the reality is that more sceptics are talking to each other than the total sum of those spewing out the #cop21 tag.
In short, it’s not a popular movement – it’s purely and simply mass delusion PR.

Apparently someone’s been flyposting “wanted”  posters of Sceptic celebrities in Paris.
And the response? Marc Morano posed with his ‘Climate Criminal’ wanted poster in the streets of Paris this morning and used it as an opportunity to publicise Climate Hustle!
Morano statement: “I may have to relocate to a secure undisclosed location. I hope I don’t need a stunt double tonight to walk the red carpet at the ‘Climate Hustle’ premiere.”

I’m listening to the Real Science Climate Conference in Paris and I was particularly interested in this graph from Dr Soon:

This suggests the the large 60year cycle which I’ve previously mentioned are based on orbital changes of the Sun. As such:

1. This now explains the largest change in Climate in the 20th century and now means that unexplained variation (that could be attributed to CO2) is now insignificant. As such (if this work holds up)  from asserting “no evidence 20th century warming was human”, I will be able to say “there is strong evidence it was not human”.
2. If this work holds up, it suggests the future global temperature is predictable – unfortunately Dr Soon did not provide a direct comparison graph instead I spotted this:

Note the sharp decrease in summer temperature from 2000!! Unfortunately it doesn’t show the 60 year cycle – but it does suggest relatively sharp cooling of northern summers!

For the last month or so, I’ve started keeping a note of articles that I link to when engaging with Natural Climate Deniers – it’s now a sizeable list which may help anyone else looking for suitable responses to the idiot questions we sceptics get asked.
