Faux-science & the global warming racket...

Excellent news this week on global warming, climate change or whatever misleading title it carries these days.

The first is that the largest wind-turbine manufacturer seems to be going tits-up.

It has cancelled plans to build a mega-factory in the UK.

It has lost 90% of its share value.

It lost £60,000,000 last year.

And it has shed thousands from its work-force.

The second is that one of the leading and pioneering scientists, Fritz Vahrenholt, has had his Damascene moment, and no declares that there is no reliability in the science, and that the only certainty is that economies will be ruined by climate-change measures that inter alia will jack up the price of energy to critical levels.

This is what he also says about the integrity of the science:

For many years, I was an active supporter of the IPCC and its CO2 theory. Recent experience with the UN's climate panel, however, forced me to reassess my position. In February 2010, I was invited as a reviewer for the IPCC report on renewable energy. I realised that the drafting of the report was done in anything but a scientific manner. The report was littered with errors and a member of Greenpeace edited the final version. These developments shocked me. I thought, if such things can happen in this report, then they might happen in other IPCC reports too.

He says that climate change, studied over a 10,000 year period, is demonstrably due mainly to solar radiation, but the man-made contribution is highly questionable as to both its extent and its effect.

There is, of course, another certainly – that a lot of people are making a shed-load of money out of this racket.
