Climate Change; An Alternative View But Backed By Top Experts.
When I first started writing about human-induced climate change (or global warming as it was then known) as Reuters’ Science & Technology Correspondent back in the mid-90s, I turned to a subject I knew from headlines rather than research.
But I had expectations. After all, even then, the BBC was reporting as fact global warming was upon us, it was all our fault, and we’d all die soon if we didn’t listen to those that know best and act.
Imagine my amazement when I started talking to the world’s top climate scientists and found a completely different story. The science wasn’t even close to being proven, and I had great difficulty finding anyone to say the link between excessive human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) and a changing climate was clear. There were many assumptions, but no proof. Yet the BBC and the mainstream media (MSM) constantly reported a proven doom scenario.
But complying with Reuters standards of balance and fairness, I produced many stories summing up the fact that nobody really knew –
- a) did CO2 impact climate?
- b) if so, how much was down to human influence?
I still don’t understand why the BBC was (and is) adamant the science was settled, or why the Main Stream Media (with some honourable exceptions) went along with it. I’m sure it was more laziness than any kind of conspiracy.
Since the mid-90s, climate science hasn’t progressed much, but now the politicians are relying on computer modelling for the ever more hysterical climate predictions and panicky plans. These models are notorious for predicting unreliable scenarios, not least because they are loaded with assumptions that are often highly speculative and politically motivated.
Here’s a selection of my work. If you want more serious climate change intelligence, take a look at www.sepp.org.

Thank you, Neil, for caring enough about what is true to be willing to ruffle some feathers reporting it.
The scientific evidence is compelling that CO2 emissions have a warming effect, but that the resulting warming is modest and benign, and that the extra CO2 is highly beneficial for both agriculture and natural ecosystems.
From all the hoopla about global warming, you’d think that warming was the main effect of CO2 emissions. It isn’t. It is of very minor consequence compared to the major, proven, biological benefits of higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Thank you Neil. Alternative views are in short supply – and much needed. I get the feeling that the “alternative view” might actually be the mainstream view among old-school journalists. The present lot are (sadly) a very different breed…
Has this story been clipped? From another site, I expected much more content.
Paul Homewood mentioned over at his blog yesterday that you alerted him to the “Covering Climate Now” website organization. As it relates to the massive bias in the mainstream media today and who/what skews it, there is WAY more to this situation. Sorry to send you into lengthy reading on who specifically is behind CCN, the degree of American bias on the climate issue, and how far an insidious, false character assassination accusation permeates the BBC:

Melting ice caps can actually save us from a 5th extinction. Because when that companion Sun comes around (every 26K years +/-) it temporarily imbalances/ neutralizes the planet’s magnetic field, that field which keeps the magma solid. Being now liquid, the Earth’s skin is free to do whatever it wants. Namely, to let the heaviest polar ice cap flip, by centrifugal force, to the equator. This has caused most of the extincions. The ice caps cause the Earth to wobble. So if, say, a Manhattan size berg breaks off, it will no longer be attached to land, but float. Floating puts no weight on the land, so does not increase the need for it to flip to the equator, whenever the planet’s magnetic field is neutralized. The “experts” saw no reason the poles should “reverse”. Then they figured out that they don’t reverse. Instead, they just flip to the equator. Then later, they may flip on to the opposite pole. Thus there was never an “ice age”. Instead, there are just ages where one location is located at a pole. Not just north and south, but any direction, as rocks all over point to magnetic polarities in several directions prove.
Thus as new evidence of different ice ages are found, the “experts” just dismiss them as anomalous, noise in the system. In Seattle, where I am an architect, the builders complain about “hard pan” soil. This just means that at one time, Seattle was at one of the poles, with thousands of feet of ice compacting the soil. So if there is less weight attached to land at the poles, there’s less motivation to flip and cause mass extinctions. Like that dinosaur found near the North Pole, with still-fresh equatorial plants in its mouth. As Chan Thomas’ book says, he “went for a ride”. When the earth’s skin stops moving East, in order to flip North or South, the water and air are not impressed, so keep flowing East. This is the “1000 mph wind” and “2 mile high” tidal wave that causes mass extincions. A massive pile of dinosaurs, trees and rocks all crammed together has been found near the North Pole. That’s science. So “climate change” is just the fact that instead of having been exterminated in 2012, some cosmic friendly, perhaps, moved us into a different hologram. Wherein “global warming” is a laughably small price for having a cataclysm. Good news, that 2nd Sun is moving away. No more “climate change”. If my name is found, please don’t publish it, as I don’t choose to be offed by the many whose oxen this revelation gores. : )
That woman who found a dead lizard at the South Pole said that mean’s there’s something called an “ice lizard”. Wrong. That lizard was already dead or froze when one of the poles flipped to the equator, meaning the lizard took a ride to the opposite pole. Lizards are cold blooded. It’s against lizard rules of conduct to not site on a rock in the Sun. More scientific evidence that the poles don’t “reverse”, but just flip to the equator by centrifugal force when that 2nd Sun nears Earth every 26K +/- years, temporarily messing with the Earth’s magnetice field. That field with keeps the magma solid. Thus liquifying the magma, thereby allowing the Earth’s skin to do whatever it wants to do. Namely: allow the heaviest pole to flip, by centrifugal force, to the equator. That lizard was minding it’s own business, sitting on a rock in the Sun, when that Biblical
2000 ft high tidal wave and 1000 mph wind happened. But good news: the “Good Book” says that the Great water would never again cover the Earth. We apparently got moved to a different hologram, where the snd Sun didn’t mess with our magnetic field. I.E. our “5th” extinction won’t happen. Hasn’t for a few cycles now.
