Two Scientists Debunk Man-Made Climate Change

Two prominent scientists have publicly debunked “man-made climate change” in recent months. In October, John Coleman, co-founder of the Weather Channel, said “climate change is nothing but a lie” (“Top Meteorologist,” Breitbart, Oct. 23, 2014). Coleman pointed to such things as the hiatus in rising temperatures and the increase of polar ice and polar bears. Coleman said. “I have studied this topic seriously for years. It has become a political and environment agenda item, but the science is not valid.” Coleman said, “There has been no warming over 18 years.” And in January, Richard Lindzen, MIT Professor Emeritus of meteorology, called global-warming alarmists a “cult.” Lindzen said, “As with any cult, once the mythology of the cult begins falling apart, instead of saying, oh, we were wrong, they get more and more fanatical. I think that’s what’s happening here” (“MIT Climate Scientist,” Breitbart.com. Jan. 21, 2015). After government agencies, including NASA, proclaimed recently that 2014 was the hottest year in recorded history, the same agencies backtracked, stating that there’s only a 38% chance that this is true and even if it is, it was only true by two-100ths of a degree, which is basically nothing. “Lindzen said he was fortunate to have gained tenure just as the ‘climate change’ movement was beginning, because now non-believers are often ostracized in academia.” Lindzen says the climate-change alarmists’ solutions will reduce people’s standard of living and impoverish people, “But,” he says, “the environment movement has never cared about that.”
