How Net Zero corrupted science
A climate scientist reveals how the green emperor's birthday suit is concealed
One of the reasons why man-made global warming theory has become so powerful is that many scientists produce research that appears to support it, while few produce work that refutes it.
Accordingly, arguments demonstrating that studies promoting the theory are based on inadequate computer projections, flawed statistical sampling or outright academic fraud are all dismissed out of hand. The point made repeatedly by the eminent meteorologist Professor Richard Lindzen, that researchers simply don’t get grant funding unless their work upholds the theory, is scoffed at or ignored. Understandably, people find it very hard to believe that the globally all-powerful climate-change emperor could actually have no clothes.
A piece that has been published in The Free Press by an American climate scientist, Patrick Brown, is therefore a must-read. Brown believes climate change is real. But he also believes that its impact is much exaggerated. This, he says, distorts much climate science, misinforms the public and makes practical solutions much more difficult to achieve.
What he describes in this piece is how this distortion has become a self-reinforcing phenomenon.
