History of Global Warming Scam

And I mean "weatherman" in the job description sense, not in the William Ayres sense of killing innocent people and indoctrinating a future president with socialist beliefs.

Anyways, actual weatherman John Coleman explains how scientists looking for government funding for their research, started the hoax in the 1950s.

The story begins with an Oceanographer named Roger Revelle. He served with the Navy in World War II. Revelle saw the opportunity to obtain major funding from the Navy for doing measurements and research on the ocean around the Pacific Atolls where the US military was conducting atomic bomb tests. He greatly expanded the Institute’s areas of interest and hired Hans Suess, who was very interested in the traces of carbon in the environment from the burning of fossil fuels. Revelle tagged on to Suess and co-authored a paper with him in 1957. The paper raises the possibility that the carbon dioxide might be creating a greenhouse effect and causing atmospheric warming. It seems to be a plea for funding for more studies. Funding, frankly, is where Revelle’s mind was most of the time.

Next Revelle hired a Geochemist named David Keeling to devise a way to measure the atmospheric content of Carbon dioxide. In 1960 Keeling published a paper showing the increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and linked it to the burning of fossil fuels.

These research papers became the bedrock of the science of global warming, even though they offered no proof that carbon dioxide was in fact a greenhouse gas. In addition they failed to explain how this trace gas, only a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, could have any significant impact on temperatures.

Coleman explains how the ensuing environmental movement based on fighting man-made pollutants needed further crises to continue its own existence...
