MEDIA RELEASE - "CLIMATE IMPACTS DAY" BASED ON MISUNDERSTANDINGS
Attention: News Editors, Political, Science and Environment Reporters
Adaptation is the sensible response to climate change
Extreme weather not on the rise and not related to hydrocarbon fuel use
Ottawa, Canada, May 5, 2012: “Climate campaigners at 350.org and their partner organizations are completely off base with Climate Impacts Day,” said Tom Harris, executive director of the International Climate Science Coalition ...
“Extreme weather events are generally not on the rise either across North America or across the world,” said Dr. Madhav L. Khandekar, Canadian extreme weather expert and former Environment Canada research scientist. “Extreme events in the past few years are occurring with about the same frequency as they did during the 1945-1977 period when the Earth was generally cooling.”
"Australian public policies regarding dangerous climate change, sea-level rise and other climatic hazards are based on inadequate scientific advice, which is shackled to the shortcomings of inadequate computer model projections. The climate models are incompatible with the measured data. In recent decades the model predictions have significantly exceeded the measured temperature rise.
"In science, data trumps theory. If data and theory disagree, as they do here, scientists go with the data and revise their hypothesis.
"But in politics the opposite is true, for authority figures and political correctness reign supreme."
ICSC POLICY ADVISOR BLOWS AWAY CLIMATISM - CANADIAN TV, NEWSPAPER
April 21, 2012: "Aristotle’s climate", by Lord Christopher Monckton, published in The Financial Post, National Post, Canada.
"A fallacy is a deceptive argument that appears to be logically valid but is in fact invalid. Its conclusion will be unreliable at best, downright false at worst. One should not make the mistake of thinking that Aristotle’s fallacies are irrelevant archaisms. They are as crucial today as when he first wrote them down. Arguments founded upon any of his fallacies are unsound and unreliable, and that is that.
"Startlingly, nearly all of the usual arguments for alarm about the climate are instances of Aristotle’s dozen fallacies of relevance or of presumption, not the least of which is the consensus fallacy."
ICSC Policy Advisory Board member Christopher Monckton,Viscount of Brenchley, of Carie, Rannoch, Scotland appears onSunMedia TV across Canada. Lord Monckton is Chief Policy Advisor of the Science and Public Policy Institute, Haymarket, Virginia, U.S.A.
MEDIA RELEASE - PRACTICAL ENVIRONMENTALISTS MUST DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM CLIMATISM
Attention: News Editors, Political, Science and Environment Reporters
Climatists must be pushed off the Earth Day stage
Activists need to refocus on known environmental problems
Ottawa, Canada, April 20, 2012:“Climatism, the misguided belief that man-made carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions are destroying Earth’s climate, has overwhelmed the environmental movement,” said Steve Goreham, Executive Director of the Chicago-based Climate Science Coalition of America (CSCA) and author of Climatism! Science, Common Sense and the 21st century’s Hottest Topic. “If activists want to be taken seriously on Earth Day, then they must divorce themselves from this extreme form of environmentalism and focus only on problems we know to be real.”
