The Climate Heretic

‘Exile for Non-Believers’, by Joanne Nova, published by the Science and Public Policy Institute, September 2009

There is a Polar Bear researcher who is by far the most experienced with the animals in the wild and he is Mitch Taylor and has been studying these white giants for 30 years. He is considered an expert on the subject of Polar Bear Ranges, population and health of the species and his input should be sought after whenever anyone wants to look at climate impacts on the Polar Bear population, and that scientific data has been sought out for many years, until now…

It appears that Taylor’s opinions around Anthropogenic Global warming and the impact on the Polar Bear is no longer welcome at the University of Alberta’s Polar Bear Speciality Group. He was not invited to this years meeting of the group, which he has attended for several years by invitation, not because his research is flawed or he committed some scientific fraud, but because his position on the impacts of AGW on the species. You see he does not think that the bears are in any measurable danger for global warming and that AGW itself is not the danger it is made out to be. So instead of an invitation this year he got a dear John letter from a outgoing President of the PBSG…

Hi Mitch,
The world is a political place and for polar bears, more so now than
ever before. I have no problem with dissenting views as long as they
are supportable by logic, scientific reasoning, and the literature.
I do believe, as do many PBSG members, that for the sake of polar
bear conservation, views that run counter to human induced climate
change are extremely unhelpful. In this vein, your positions and
statements in the Manhattan Declaration, the Frontier Institute, and
the Science and Public Policy Institute are inconsistent with positions
taken by the PBSG.
I too was not surprised by the members not endorsing an invitation.
Nothing I heard had to do with your science on harvesting or your
research on polar bears – it was the positions you’ve taken on global
warming that brought opposition.
Time will tell who is correct but the scientific literature is not on the
side of those arguing against human induced climate change.
I look forward to having someone else chair the PBSG.
Best regards,
Andy (Derocher)

Global warming propaganda and politics wins out over science and real research and this is not the only example in Joanne Nova’s excellent paper. Is this the future of science in the world, where only tight and rigid adherence to the core dogma that everything must by looked at through the AGW lens? If so science has reverted back to the days when the Holy Roman Empire required all science to be approved by the Pope as to avoid any heresy.

People be aware that science is being usurped by a political agenda and these are peers and committees that speak for groups of scientists and the same peer reviewers that lend credence to the AGW proponents "science" ( something I think is silly and false) and show that the politics have corrupted the existing science and any future research.

Thomas Friedman believes in his heart of hearts that communism has some advantages, like not having to deal with that pesky "Democracy" and that "We the people" nonsense that is getting in the way of his social agenda.

Read it here – New York Times Op/Ed

Friedman is simply responding to his desire to assert his will and his frustration at people who have different ideas than he does blocking his saving of us from well..us. Friedman does not lust for power (just ask him), but he is so convinced that he is right and it allows him to be qualified to make decisions for society at large and actually believes that things would be much better if they did it his way. It is a severe case of Intellectual Arrogance and is the real problem with the ideologues that make up the ranks of the progressives who are the Intellectual Left Leaning people in Academia and Media.

Worse yet he has been completely seduced by the PR Campaign from China in the areas of renewable energy and other carbon-reduced technologies. China is enlightened all right, they know that the perception of the Intellectual Elites like Friedman can influence global opinion leading into Copenhagen, they got marketing down cold. Friedman really believes that China is serious about renewables, they are not, the relatively small amount invested and the proclamations of the Party Leaders is for foreign relations, high brows like Friedman and to deflect criticism leading into the climate talks this winter.

Why is that the "Intellectuals" are always the biggest rubes in the room? Simple… play to their egos.

This has been the case since the emergence of modern political governance, so it should not be surprising that intellectual arrogance leads to the love-affair of communism and socialism through totalitarian regimes as a preferable way of forcing society (read people) into complying with your personal social agenda.

Friedman as all far left leaning economists has a Nobel, successful books and huge lecture fees, you know all the trappings and wealth he can amass as a member of a free market society and can afford to opine about how perfect a world would be if people just did as he said, for their own good. He really is the best Communist for Hire at the New York Times.

From Shoe Tossing to Self Immolation. Now there is an escalation in stupidity that is truly unnatural and caused by CO2, well actually the phobia around it.

Ok I just stopped laughing from reading this about 15 minutes ago, it has to be one of the most moronic statements issued since man stopped milling flour with windmills.

The set up for this is a mining company in Northern Quebec that uses electric Shovels and presumably has a mill to power was considering the option of a mini-nuclear reactor because they required 10Mw of reliable 24 hour a day power. When the Environmental Wingnuts heard about it they of course went off on the idea to the media.

Is this really to be taken seriously as a legitimate position and optional solution? Windmills are the high tech answer?

Then he goes on and I think basically endorses more hydro, something environmentalists have been opposed to for years in Quebec. These are strange days indeed.
