‘Statistical garbage’: Watch: Morano on Varney on Fox debunking ‘hottest day ever’ & ‘unprecedented’ heatwave claims: Based on models that ‘invent temperatures where none exist’ & ‘Biden’s EPA shows 1930s U.S. heat waves were by far much hotter’

July 25, 2024

Marc Morano Appears on FBN’s ‘Varney & Company’ to Discuss Hottest Average Global Temperature – Fox Business Network – Broadcast July 24, 2024 Excerpts: Stuart Varney: Sunday was the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth — for the whole earth. The next day, Monday, the world got hotter still, with the global average temperature going to 62.87 degrees Fahrenheit. Climatedepot.com executive editor Marc Morano joining me now. The hottest day ever recorded on earth, and everybody will take this as evidence of global warming. What’s your response? Morano: “You have to understand what this is and what this means. Every year now, they’re trying to claim the ‘hottest day ever.’ Go back five to 10 years, and they used to claim the hottest year or decade. Now we’re reduced to the ‘hottest day’. Climate skeptics have been ridiculed if they suggested a cold winter or cold winter day or a snowstorm is evidence that climate change isn’t real. And now, one single day is used as evidence of man-made global warming. The Copernicus Climate Change Service admits this is a statistical analysis based on climate models and openly concedes they invent temperatures where none exist. They construct climate models, they can control all the inputs. This is statistical garbage. See: Copernicus Climate Change Service website: Morano: But even this temperature claim, which the Washington Post hypes, admits it’s indistinguishable from the previous year, hundredths of a degree difference — which is well within the margin of error. In other words, it’s a political statement meant to get us scared that the earth is boiling. Stuart Varney: Is the world hotter now than in the 1930s? Morano: …Joe Biden’s EPA shows 1930s U.S. heat waves were by far much hotter than anything we’re experiencing today and 75, 76% of all states set their high temperature record before 1955. That gives you an idea of unprecedented heat and doesn’t hold up to NOAA data or EPA or National Climate Assessment. They know this, and this is pure hype. EPA: “Climate Change Indicators: Heat Waves” | US EPA – Figure 3: “U.S. Annual Heat Wave Index, 1895–2021” # Background info: The Washington Post is hyping climate for political reasons: The paper quotes activists to pile on this climate claims: “It is troubling but not surprising that we are hitting record temperatures this year,” Andrew Pershing, vice president for science at the nonprofit Climate Central, wrote in an email. “We continue to add carbon pollution to the atmosphere, so global temperatures will continue to go up.” “We are in truly uncharted territory,” Copernicus director Carlo Buontempo said in a statement. “And as the climate keeps warming, we are bound to see records being broken in future months and years.” Further Morano Notes on this claim: https://climate.copernicus.eu/new-record-daily-global-average-temperature-reached-july-2024 The Copernicus Climate Change Service admits it ‘fills the gaps’ with climate models and other statistical methods, not actual temperature data. They claim it is “based on preliminary data” and was “the hottest day since at least 1940, by a small margin of 0.01ºC” which they note is “almost indistinguishable from the previous record, reanalysis dataset.” But the media ran with it to blow out of proportion. They admit it’s a “combination of observations and state- of-the art weather and Earth system models” They tout literally invention temperatures where none exists! “We can reconstruct the past weather even for when and where we had no observations. The principle of ECMWF’s reanalyses is to provide “maps without gaps” using “data produced by model simulations in order to “fill the gaps” in observations.” What is ERA5 reanalysis: “The latest European State of the Climate, using ERA5 data, C3S stated that 2022 was the second warmest year for Europe since 1950.” The Copernicus Climate Change Service is also beholden to Net Zero politics due to “funding” from the the European Commission. Morano: There is nothing unusual or unprecedented about the heat waves in 2024. The media and climate activists have Weaponized the heat waves to try to make us believe that they are somehow worse than ever and a result of man-made climate change. Yet the Biden administration’s own environmental protection agency reveals the simple truth. Heat waves were much, much worse in the past. The 1930s heat waves were significantly hotter than today’s. Here is the Biden/Harris EPA data: The Biden/Harris EPA data reveals U.S. heatwaves in the 1930s were significantly hotter than they are today Morano: Other Government agencies, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Federal National Climate Assessments, confirm this heat wave reality as well. NOAA data reveals USA heatwaves much hotter in past: ’38/50 states or 76% recorded their high-temperature records before 1955 – 43 states measured their high temp records in or before 1985′ Morano: Yet, the media and climate activists engaging in the ‘casino effect’ to hype heatwaves. You walk into a casino and see a wall of slot machine winners. There’s a $10,000 winner, there’s a $100,000 winner — look, that person won $300,000. And you think to yourself, ‘I’ve got to play the slots; everyone’s winning.’ It gives you the impression that everywhere, they’re paying out huge sums, and you’ve got to play slots because you’ll be a winner too. Your chances of winning the lottery are very low. The chance of someone somewhere winning the lottery is very high. Climate activists are trying to scare the public into believing that they are one heatwave away from doom and only EPA or the Green New Deal or the UN Paris climate pact can save them! Meanwhile, climate-related deaths have dropped Morano: The heatwaves are so weaponized that a former federal prosecutor wants to punish energy companies: Climate Murder: Former Federal Prosecutor calls for climate ‘2nd-degree murder prosecutions’ against ‘Big Oil’ for heat wave deaths in Arizona ‘Climate crisis’ illness?! NBC News: White House to unveil a ‘national dashboard’ for tracking ‘heat-related illnesses nationwide’ due to the ‘growing impacts of the climate crisis’ – August 10, 2023 Morano: Get ready CNN and MSNBC to pound stories like this frequently, and couple it with daily tallies of an alleged climate change ‘death toll’, all designed to spur calls for the need to take drastic ‘climate action’ to stop the deaths from our alleged ‘climate emergency.

Hottest 12 Months for 125,000 Years Claim Lacks Any Scientific Evidence

January 11, 2024

Chris Morrison of Daily Skeptic: Last year humanity lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years, reported an hysterical CNN, a frame of mind replicated throughout much of the mainstream media. …

Accurate temperature records barely started before the 20th century, and recent measurements by fixed thermometers have been heavily corrupted by growing urban heat. It is in fact possible using proxy measurements to get a good idea of general temperature movements over the last 125,000 years.

All the evidence points to periods of much higher temperatures, notably between 10,000 to 5,000 years ago.

The latest science paper examining this trend has just been published, and it points to summer temperatures at least 1.5°C higher around 5,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean, at a time when civilization was developing rapidly.

No, the Earth Did Not have an ‘Unprecedented and Terrifying … All-Time High Temperature’ on July 4th – Not the hottest in 100,000 years – NOAA & AP back away from claim

August 2, 2023

https://climaterealism.com/2023/07/no-the-earth-did-not-have-an-unprecedented-and-terrifying-all-time-high-temperature-on-july-4th/ By Anthony Watts On July 3rd and 4th and the following days, multiple mainstream media outlets ran stories claiming that the Earth had experienced an unprecedented hot day(s). This is false. The data they cited was not official data, but from a private website and investigation shows the claim was a gross error. Some sample headlines from that week are: Yahoo News: ‘Unprecedented and terrifying’: World sets all-time high temperature record 2 days in a row CNN: The planet saw its hottest day on record this week. It’s a record that will be broken again and again Forbes: July 4 Was Earth’s Hottest Day In Over 100000 Years UPI: Climate scientists: July 4 was hottest ever for average global temperature CNBC: World registers hottest day since records began In the CNBC article, reporter Sam Meredith wrote: The planet’s average daily temperature climbed to 17.18 degrees Celsius (62.9 degrees Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, an unofficial tool that is often used by climate scientists as a reference to the world’s condition. “Monday, July 3rd was the hottest day ever recorded on Planet Earth. A record that lasted until … Tuesday, July 4th,” said Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London, via Twitter. “Totally unprecedented and terrifying,” he added. Apparently, all those people missed the fact that they were looking at the output of a climate model, not actually measured temperatures. Only one news outlet, The Associated Press, bothered to print a sensible caveat. In the July 5th story “Earth hit an unofficial record high temperature this week – and stayed there” reporting: On Thursday, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration distanced itself from the designation, compiled by the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which uses satellite data and computer simulations to measure the world’s condition. That metric showed that Earth’s average temperature on Wednesday remained at an unofficial record high, 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit (17.18 degrees Celsius), set the day before. The AP updated its story on July 7th to include this single yet very important paragraph: NOAA, whose figures are considered the gold standard in climate data, said in a statement Thursday that it cannot validate the unofficial numbers. It noted that the reanalyzer uses model output data, which it called “not suitable” as substitutes for actual temperatures and climate records. The agency monitors global temperatures and records on a monthly and an annual basis, not daily. So, in the space of two days, we went from temperature data that was “[t]otally unprecedented and terrifying,” to temperature data that was not suitable for purpose. How did this happen? It was a chain of events involving “experts” on social media who first noticed this graph on climatereanalyser.org: Figure 1: global temperature graph, July 4, 2023, from climatereanlyser.org Note the uptick in black at the top, that’s supposedly proof of the hottest day ever in Earth’s history. Social media created a “viral” response to this, and the poorly trained yet climate narrative compliant mainstream media picked up the story and ran with it. Some people, such as Ryan Maue, Ph.D., tried to put out the wrongheaded social media fire on Twitter. He notes that the climate model used isn’t even current, circa 2009/2011: It seems the media, social and otherwise, saw what they expected to see and got fooled. They failed to check the source of the data before rushing to judgment. Although, on July 8, the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer website was forced to put up this notice on their global temperature page: But even that claim is false, because in fact the NCEP CFSv2 used by Climate Reanalyzer and listed at the top of their graph, is in fact defined as a model according to its developer, NOAA: The CFS version 2 was developed at the Environmental Modeling Center at NCEP. It is a fully coupled model representing the interaction between the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land, and sea ice. So much for Climate Reanalyzer’s “not a model” claims. They simply “got caught with their pants down,” and the special notice was little more than damage control. Even if the Climate Reanalyzer output had accurately reflected the temperature data recorded since satellites data began, there is no justification for the bizarre claims made by outlets such such as Forbes: “July 4 Was Earth’s Hottest Day In Over 100000 Years” Note that in Figure 1, climatereanalyser.org only has data back to 1979. That makes the 100,000 year claim not just far-fetched, but impossible to verify or substantiate. The mainstream media’s behavior in response to the claims made by Climate Reanalyzer made what should have been passed unnoticed as a bizarre outlier in climate data into headline news around the globe. This treatment was unjustifiable, a blatantly false portrayal by social media and mainstream media to push the climate crisis narrative forward. If the mainstream media had any integrity left, retractions would be published, yet there shamefully does not seem to be a single one.

USA Heatwave reality check: Global temps below 30-year avg & ‘75% of the states recorded their hottest temperature prior to 1955’ – Worst U.S. heat waves happened in 1930s

July 8, 2021

Climate Depot Special Report Here we go again! Climate change: US-Canada heatwave ‘virtually impossible’ without warming according to climate model simulations Model Based Study: Northwest heat wave impossible without climate change: “They logged observations of what happened and fed them into 21 computer models and ran numerous simulations. They then simulated a world without greenhouse gases from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas. The difference between the two scenarios is the climate change portion.” # Climate Depot’s Marc Morano & author of Green Fraud: “Here we go again. Any heatwave, hurricane, tornado outbreak, etc. are always used by the media and other climate activists as some kind of ‘proof” of a climate emergency. At least these claims are more plausible than claims that building collapses or illegal immigration are caused by “climate change.” But currently, the global satellite temperature for June 2021 is below the 30-year average. And despite the U.S. heatwave, there are plenty of record cold outbreaks happening around the globe, (See: Unusually strong cold weather outbreak spreads from Antarctica into central South America, bringing early winter temperature records and first snowfall after decades) The media gaslights anyone who mocks ‘global warming’ on a record cold or snowy day but has no problem doing the exact same thing whenever it’s hot. As University of Alabama climate scientist John Christy’s research has found: “About 75% of the states recorded their hottest temperature prior to 1955, and over 50 percent of the states experienced their record cold temperatures after 1940.” In addition, the EPA’s own data has shown that the 1930s U.S. heatwaves were far more severe than current temperatures. (2021 Update: EPA puts inconvenient data on 1930s drought and heat wave down the memory hole) In short, it is unscientific and nothing short of political lobbying to jump on a heatwave to claim ‘proof’ of man-made global warming. Climate activists’ new motto should be: Never let an opportunity go to waste to blame a heatwave or a flood or hurricane or building collapse or immigration — on ‘climate change.’ . https://www.drroyspencer.com/latest-global-temperatures/ # Dr. Roy Spencer Dr. John Christy manage temperature satellites for NASA. Here are the facts reported at Climate Depot: Global satellite temperature for June 2021 is below the 30-year average There are plenty of record cold outbreaks happening around the globe Unusually strong cold weather outbreaks spread from Antarctica into central South America, South America experiencing early winter temperature records and first snowfall in decades About 75% of the U.S. states recorded their hottest temperature prior to 1955 Over 50 percent of the states experienced their record cold temperatures after 1940 EPA data shows that in the 1930s U.S. heatwaves were far more severe than current temperatures Excerpts from Green Fraud: “It’s Like a Heat Wave!” Multiple studies find that long-term data show extreme heat waves in the United States have decreased since the 1930s.79 A study published in the Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology found that extreme heatwaves in the United States decreased from 1930 to 2010. According to the authors, “Several daily maximum [extreme heat events] near the 1930s led to 1930-2010 trends of daily maximum [extreme heat events] decreasing.” The overall trend of U.S. heat waves saw a decline from the 1930s until the 1970s global cooling and the coming–ice age scare, followed by a warming with temperatures still not up to levels seen in the 1930s in the U.S.80 University of Alabama climate scientist John Christy’s research has found that “about 75% of the states recorded their hottest temperature prior to 1955, and over 50 percent of the states experienced their record cold temperatures after 1940.”81 Data from the Environmental Protection Agency agree.

CNN Smears Sen. Ron Johnson As ‘Climate Denier’ – Morano rebuts heatwave AGW claims

July 7, 2021

https://thefederalist.com/2021/07/07/cnn-smears-sen-ron-johnson-as-climate-denier-for-not-bowing-to-climate-alarmism/ CNN Smears Sen. Ron Johnson As ‘Climate Denier’ For Not Bowing To Climate Alarmism JULY 7, 2021 By Gabe Kaminsky CNN’s Chris Cuomo opened his Tuesday monologue smearing Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson for refusing to bow down to climate alarmism after a new “KFILE” report found a video of Johnson calling climate change, “bullsh-t.” KFILE reported Johnson told attendees at a June Republican Women of Greater Wisconsin luncheon, “I don’t know about you guys, but I think climate change is — as Lord Monckton said — bullsh-t.” Cuomo blasted Johnson for his comments. “We need to call out garbage in the form of the game,” he said. “The target tonight, Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson … Sounds like a denier, no?” He continued: Now many see Johnson as just selling stupidity. I see something worse. I know this guy. I remember him when he came to the Senate. Businessman, and he said, ‘I don’t know anything about this politics, I’m just here to make things happen.’ …He wanted to come on my show and show economic theories and principles and do charts to justify policy. Now he’s this. This is how he responds to a heatwave gripping North America. Johnson failed to walk the politically correct line, so CNN thought they scored a win. But in reality, the senator provided a full comment to the outlet that it did not include in its story. Reporters Em Steck and Andrew Kaczynski included the first four sentences of Johnson’s response. “My statements are consistent. I am not a climate change denier, but I also am not a climate change alarmist. Climate is not static. It has always changed and always will change,” Johnson said. The rest? Deemed irrelevant to the narrative, as spokeswoman Alexa Henning indicated to The Federalist. Here’s what they left out: I do not share Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s view that the “world is going to end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change.” Or President Biden saying the “greatest threat” to U.S. security is climate change. I consider those to be extreme positions — to say the least. At some point, all the Malthusian predictions that have not come true should begin reducing the credibility of the scaremongers. But that would take honest reporting by mainstream media, so I’m not holding my breath. Marc Morano and other seasoned energy experts have consistently exposed climate alarmism as another way for the left to expand government regulation on false premises. Cuomo connected the heatwave across the country to climate change. But Morano, the author of “Green Fraud: Why the Green New Deal Is Even Worse Than You Think” and a former George W. Bush administration staffer in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, told The Federalist this is false. “Any heatwave, hurricane, tornado outbreak, etc., are always used by the media and other climate activists as some kind of ‘proof’ of a climate emergency,” Morano said. “At least these claims are more plausible than claims that building collapses or illegal immigration is caused by ‘climate change.’” Morano said the current the global satellite temperature for June 2021 is below the 30-year average, and that in addition to the U.S. heatwave, there ongoing record cold temperatures elsewhere. “The media gaslight anyone who mocks ‘global warming’ on a record cold or snowy day but has no problem doing the exact same thing whenever it’s hot. As University of Alabama climate scientist John Christy’s research has found: ‘About 75% of the states recorded their hottest temperature prior to 1955, and over 50 percent of the states experienced their record cold temperatures after 1940,’” he said. Johnson said climate change is “bullsh-it,” and he is not wrong. He even told CNN “climate is not static” and that he is “not a climate change denier,” but the outlet wants to mold a narrative.

Climatologist Dr. Roy Spencer rebuts media-hyped claims on ‘hottest month’: July 2019 Was Not the Warmest on Record

August 2, 2019

http://www.drroyspencer.com/2019/08/july-2019-was-not-the-warmest-on-record/ by Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D. July 2019 was probably the 4th warmest of the last 41 years. Global “reanalysis” datasets need to start being used for monitoring of global surface temperatures. We are now seeing news reports (e.g. CNN, BBC, Reuters) that July 2019 was the hottest month on record for global average surface air temperatures. One would think that the very best data would be used to make this assessment. After all, it comes from official government sources (such as NOAA, and the World Meteorological Organization [WMO]). But current official pronouncements of global temperature records come from a fairly limited and error-prone array of thermometers which were never intended to measure global temperature trends. The global surface thermometer network has three major problems when it comes to getting global-average temperatures: (1) The urban heat island (UHI) effect has caused a gradual warming of most land thermometer sites due to encroachment of buildings, parking lots, air conditioning units, vehicles, etc. These effects are localized, not indicative of most of the global land surface (which remains most rural), and not caused by increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Because UHI warming “looks like” global warming, it is difficult to remove from the data. In fact, NOAA’s efforts to make UHI-contaminated data look like rural data seems to have had the opposite effect. The best strategy would be to simply use only the best (most rural) sited thermometers. This is currently not done. (2) Ocean temperatures are notoriously uncertain due to changing temperature measurement technologies (canvas buckets thrown overboard to get a sea surface temperature sample long ago, ship engine water intake temperatures more recently, buoys, satellite measurements only since about 1983, etc.) (3) Both land and ocean temperatures are notoriously incomplete geographically. How does one estimate temperatures in a 1 million square mile area where no measurements exist? There’s a better way. A more complete picture: Global Reanalysis datasets (If you want to ignore my explanation of why reanalysis estimates of monthly global temperatures should be trusted over official government pronouncements, skip to the next section.) Various weather forecast centers around the world have experts who take a wide variety of data from many sources and figure out which ones have information about the weather and which ones don’t. But, how can they know the difference? Because good data produce good weather forecasts; bad data don’t. The data sources include surface thermometers, buoys, and ships (as do the “official” global temperature calculations), but they also add in weather balloons, commercial aircraft data, and a wide variety of satellite data sources. Why would one use non-surface data to get better surface temperature measurements? Since surface weather affects weather conditions higher in the atmosphere (and vice versa), one can get a better estimate of global average surface temperature if you have satellite measurements of upper air temperatures on a global basis and in regions where no surface data exist. Knowing whether there is a warm or cold airmass there from satellite data is better than knowing nothing at all. Furthermore, weather systems move. And this is the beauty of reanalysis datasets: Because all of the various data sources have been thoroughly researched to see what mixture of them provide the best weather forecasts (including adjustments for possible instrumental biases and drifts over time), we know that the physical consistency of the various data inputs was also optimized. Part of this process is making forecasts to get “data” where no data exists. Because weather systems continuously move around the world, the equations of motion, thermodynamics, and moisture can be used to estimate temperatures where no data exists by doing a “physics extrapolation” using data observed on one day in one area, then watching how those atmospheric characteristics are carried into an area with no data on the next day. This is how we knew there were going to be some exceeding hot days in France recently: a hot Saharan air layer was forecast to move from the Sahara desert into western Europe. This kind of physics-based extrapolation (which is what weather forecasting is) is much more realistic than (for example) using land surface temperatures in July around the Arctic Ocean to simply guess temperatures out over the cold ocean water and ice where summer temperatures seldom rise much above freezing. This is actually one of the questionable techniques used (by NASA GISS) to get temperature estimates where no data exists. If you think the reanalysis technique sounds suspect, once again I point out it is used for your daily weather forecast. We like to make fun of how poor some weather forecasts can be, but the objective evidence is that forecasts out 2-3 days are pretty accurate, and continue to improve over time. The Reanalysis picture for July 2019 The only reanalysis data I am aware of that is available in near real time to the public is from WeatherBell.com, and comes from NOAA’s Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2). The plot of surface temperature departures from the 1981-2010 mean for July 2019 shows a global average warmth of just over 0.3 C (0.5 deg. F) above normal: Note from that figure how distorted the news reporting was concerning the temporary hot spells in France, which the media reports said contributed to global-average warmth. Yes, it was unusually warm in France in July. But look at the cold in Eastern Europe and western Russia. Where was the reporting on that? How about the fact that the U.S. was, on average, below normal? The CFSv2 reanalysis dataset goes back to only 1979, and from it we find that July 2019 was actually cooler than three other Julys: 2016, 2002, and 2017, and so was 4th warmest in 41 years. And being only 0.5 deg. F above average is not terribly alarming. Our UAH lower tropospheric temperature measurements had July 2019 as the third warmest, behind 1998 and 2016, at +0.38 C above normal. Why don’t the people who track global temperatures use the reanalysis datasets? The main limitation with the reanalysis datasets is that most only go back to 1979, and I believe at least one goes back to the 1950s. Since people who monitor global temperature trends want data as far back as possible (at least 1900 or before) they can legitimately say they want to construct their own datasets from the longest record of data: from surface thermometers. But most warming has (arguably) occurred in the last 50 years, and if one is trying to tie global temperature to greenhouse gas emissions, the period since 1979 (the last 40+ years) seems sufficient since that is the period with the greatest greenhouse gas emissions and so when the most warming should be observed. So, I suggest that the global reanalysis datasets be used to give a more accurate estimate of changes in global temperature for the purposes of monitoring warming trends over the last 40 years, and going forward in time. They are clearly the most physically-based datasets, having been optimized to produce the best weather forecasts, and are less prone to ad hoc fiddling with adjustments to get what the dataset provider thinks should be the answer, rather than letting the physics of the atmosphere decide.

Climate Depot’s Morano profiled in Sweden’s largest newspaper – ‘Morano is today an echo of his own president. It has made life much more fun’

Photo: Alex Wroblewski The climate meeting as it is going on in Katowice also attracts denials. The American Marc Morano has tried to disprove the researchers for over a decade. Now, under President Trump, he has more fun than for a long time. DN’s Björn van Kleen meets the influential lobbyist in Washington DC before leaving for Poland. To Marrakech, where the UN held a climate summit in November 2016, Marc Morano arrived with a document shredder. He brought a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump of natural size parked outside the building where politicians and researchers met. Morano took on a red Trump cap and handed out paper copies of the Paris agreement. – Let’s make the science big again. Let’s make US energy policy big again, he said, and let the shattering out of the clauses of the Paris Agreement, the politicians and researchers tried to refine the conference. Marc Morano, who soon escorted from the scene of guards, is one of America’s most creative climate defectors. I meet him at an office on Pennsylvania Avenue, a stone’s throw from the White House in central Washington DC. He wears a nighty suit, boots and exudes the same airy mouthwash as Michael Moore, even though his ideology is straight-forward. In the documentary “Climate Hustle”, in the book “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change” and on the website “Climate Depot”, Marc Morano tries to hit the “climate bomb”. Scientists who warn of global warming are, in fact, looking for a world government to intrude upon sovereignty of individual states, to seduce people and businesses, he says. “They want a superstate where you have to go to the UN as a single citizen if you want to cut down trees on one’s own backyard. Nancy Pelosi (Democrat leaders in the House of Representatives) says openly that we need to establish a complete inventory of our lives to fight global warming. They do not want sovereign nations without an international government and that is what Americans and Trump oppose. During the climate summit in Paris 2015 , protesters stamped posters of Morano’s face on lamp posts with the text “climate criminals”. See: Will he do perp walk?! Morano ‘WANTED’ posters for being a ‘Climate Criminal’ go up in Paris on eve of ‘Climate Hustle’ premiere “The best thing about Trump leaving the Paris agreement was that he showed that it was possible to all,” said Marc Morano. You can stand up to the media, academy, Hollywood and Democrats. You can stand up and say, “We are leaving!” It gives other countries an opportunity to exit as well. I hope it triggers a Clexit, (a climate exit from the UN Paris pact). Brazil is perhaps on its way, Australia has talked about it and who knows what Britain intends to do. My hope is that the UN’s entire climate establishment ends up in the dustbin of history. Morano’s dissent is funded by the lobby committee “Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow” (CFACT). The group was founded in 1985 with the ambition to spread “market-based solutions” in the climate issue. According to CFACT, humans have nothing to do with global warming. The Earth’s climate is constantly changing. The “real danger”, according to CFACT, is political ideas based on “man can control or prevent climate change”, for example by regulating industrial emissions. Morano says that CFACT is 90 percent financed by grass roots contributions. But the group has also received the equivalent of millions of kronor from ExxonMobile , the oil and gas giant, which for 10 years was ruled by Rex Tillerson, Trump’s former Foreign Minister. The oil company Chevron has also contributed to the Koch brothers, mining and chemical industry miners spending almost $ 900 million on conservative candidates in the presidential and congressional elections in 2016. Marc Morano accelerated his climate project when he worked as a communications officer for James Inhofe, a 84-year-old senator from the Oklahoma state. Inhofea , member of the Senate Environment Committee , is one of Congress’s most passionate climate detectives. In 2010, Inhofe made an igloo outside Kapitolium in Washington DC, which he named “Al Gore’s new home”. A sign urged bypass cars to “wonder if you love global warming”. In March 2015, Inhofe hugged a snowball and threw on the senate carpet to emphasize that 2014 could not possibly be the warmest year so far, as several authorities perceived that it was. The misunderstanding – that temporary colds would counteract global warming – shares Inhofe with President Trump, who last November in twittrade : “What happened to global warming?” This is the case with the cold-weather thanksgiving weekend. Inhofe was one of 22 Republican senators who in 2017 called on Trump to withdraw from the Paris agreement when the president hesitated under the pressure of counselors and family members. The 22 senators who signed the letter to Trump had jointly received more than $ 100 million in campaign contributions from the oil, gas and coal industry, according to The Guardian’s summary . When Morano worked for James Inhofe, Andrew Wheeler was in the senator’s staff. Wheeler is a long-standing opponent of industrial regulations and today acting director of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National Environmental Authority Donald Trump, attempted to repel a lobbying agency for the emissions industry. The EPA was founded in 1970 by then Richard Nixon, in part to try to limit human harm to nature. During Trump’s time in the White House, the EPA has removed references to the climate crisis from parts of its documents and limited theavailability of information on global warming on its website. Marc Morano’s former colleagues belong to the power-bearing layer of today’s Washington DC. If Morano used to be a mocker at the political margins, he is today an echo of his own president. It has made life much more fun. “That’s why I love Trump so much,” says Morano. He has restored this movement. For us climate skeptics. Trump is a better president than Ronald Reagan. It does not matter if he only has a term of office — he has managed to show the Republican Party how to stand up for the media and political establishment. Trump is a changeable politician. But his resistance to international settlements, such as climate agreements, has been consistent, “says Morano. “He is not an opportunist in that regard. Go back to the interview that Trump gave Oprah Winfrey in 1988. He then looks at the world from a nationalist perspective. He never wanted to be part of any UN treaty. Morano refers to John Trump (1907-85), the uncle of the president and an outstanding physics professor attached to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The family did not know about the climate, but Trump often says he inherited insights from the father brother who made him a qualified assessor of, for example, global warming: “I have a natural instinct for science,” says Trump. Uncle John was a friend of the physicist William Happer, a 79-year-old skeptic at Princeton who was recently proclaimed Presidential Advisor in the field of “new technologies”. “Happer’s attitude is that the world needs more carbon dioxide. I wish he served as Trump’s scientific tsar, “said Morano, referring to the word” tsar “on government specialists recruited to solve difficult issues, such as drug crisis or the decline in the automotive industry. Just ten years ago , Morano was more courageous. The climate crisis had not yet been processed into a party issue in the United States. In 2006, Al Gore, Vice President of Bill Clinton, made international success with the climate documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”. The following year, Gore and the UN Climate Panel of the IPCC shared the Nobel Peace Prize. In a Morano portrait of the Esquire magazine from 2010, the climate crisis is described as an American consensus issue: 84 percent of Americans considered global warming as a threat; The only thing one more agreed on was the existence of God, writes Esquire. When Morano started working for Senator Inhofe, it was still politically risky to oppose the climate crisis, he says. “Even republicans who represented oil interests in Congress had difficulty in saying,” says Morano. I met people who said, “Ah, we saw Al Gore’s movies and there are really no arguments left”. The senator himself had wanted to take the battle against climate closure for years, but his staff did not dare. When I boarded, there were several senior employees who were worried that fighting against the climate would jeopardize their opportunity to get jobs in the future. They were afraid to be dismissed as ground-is-flat-grobianer. “Climategate” in Britain gave Morano an opening. In the autumn of 2009, climate scientist Philip Jones was exposed to the University of East Anglia in Norwich for a computer breach. The hackers published a comprehensive email correspondence between Jones and other researchers who would demonstrate unscientific methods and approaches to climate research. The professor and author Michael Mann, whose emails occurred in the scandal, call Climategate for the “most well-organized, cynical and effective disinformation campaign” so far in climatic contexts. (In the book “The Madhouse Effect.” How Climate Change Denial Is Threatening Our Planet, Destroying Our Politics, And Driving Us Crazy “From 2016.) Climategate sowed skepticism before the summit in Copenhagen in December 2009. In the United States, Republican politicians began to doubt. Morano says that John McCain and Lindsey Graham, two Republican heavyweights, backed a cross-border bill in the area. Trump, says Morano, warned that Al Gore should be forced to return his Nobel Prize. In the wake of Climategate, Morano began to attack journalists who reported on the climate crisis. “We did what Trump did before Trump became famous,” he says. We were not just looking for profiling researchers who presented divergent facts, but we attacked individual reporters who wrote the question, by name, media companies and examples. I got a lot of crap for it: “You’re crazy, you can not target journalists.” In a report stamped with the Senate seal, James Inhofe, Moranos chief, presented 750 “dissidents” – researchers and others who had divergent views on the climate issue. It was effective, according to Morano. In his book, he quotes the survey company Gallup, who found that the increasing disturbance of the media’s global warming reporting goes hand in hand with Republican’s doubts on the issue. Attacking journalists pays off. Over the ten years passed since Climategate, more and more Republican voters seem to have begun to hesitate. In March 2018, only 35 percent of respondents responded that they believe that the warming is caused by man, a decrease from 41 percent the year before, according to Gallup. Morano remembers the reaction report was first published in December 2007. – Common Americans began to call as mad to the Senate: “Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! Thank you for striking back to Al Gore and the media. We knew there was another side of the case. ” This triggered a wave that changed the Republican party, but also Fox News. Program leader like Bill O’Reilly began citing climate creators in their programs.We changed the whole debate and I was actually the chief architect behind it. What was what made people so happy? “Every day they had listened to Al Gore’s message, completely unmoticed. Oprah Winfrey called Gore for today’s Noah (after the biblical figure that saved the world’s animals). Gore was the perfect spokesman for the other side, because he was the face of the Democrats, the media and Hollywood. In the long run, republicans could not support Gore, it just did not work. Even if we really had a climate crisis, you would not want to have Al Gore as its spokesperson. At least one professor listed in Morano’s report later requested to be removed, according to the New York Times, and at least one weather reporter got his title upgraded to meteorologist. When I meet Morano , the community of Paradise in northern California is about to be wiped out in the worst fire in the state’s history. Like dogs crave human beings in the ash, and anthropologists are trying to identify bodies based on grilled bones. In the New Yorker magazine, the academician and activist Bill McKibben puts the tragedy in context: throughout the world, elevated temperatures have harvested human life during the summer. In July, more than 70 people died in a heat wave in Canadian Montreal. Death Valley, a nation in Mojave Desert in Southern California, simultaneously recorded the hottest month ever on our planet. But Morano does not see any pattern in recent years’ extreme weather. The evidence that man is behind global warming is, according to him, “thin on the verge of non existent”; a statement that directly contradicts the fresh report from 13 US government departments. Will your fight against climate scientists become more difficult when people die around you in climate-related disasters? – Are you trying to make climate scientists responsible for these deaths? That’s what California governor Jerry Brown tries. No, what worries me is people who think that you can cure the climate with witchcraft, with regulations and carbon taxes. Are you ever worried about ending on the wrong side of the story? – No, for this is the thing: even if we skeptics would be wrong about the alleged climate crisis, the solutions presented by the other side would have no impact. They are the result of virtue signaling. We believe in technological progress and economic growth. And I’ve never had a mistake because I do not make predictions. There are skeptics who go out and predict a global cooling down. I have no idea what the climate will do because hundreds of factors are interacting. In an article published in January 2016, Morano listed his hopes for Trump. The president is on track to pay the bill: roll back all EPA climate regulations and pull the United States out of the Paris agreement, wrote Morano. Who also wants the United States to eliminate all funding of the United Nations climate panel and “begin to shed carbon dioxide”. “Trump has enabled coal mines to reopen and for new oil drilling projects to accelerate. He has created an American Energy Fair, which explains that we have the best economy in 50 years, even CNN agrees. It must be short-term but it’s still a great thing to experience. No other Republican president had dared to do what he had done. In New York , Bill McKibben writes that industrial lobbyists who had Trump leave the Paris agreement succeeded in slowing down US action at exactly the moment the work was forced to hurry. The result: a single country’s policy for half a century will change the geological development of the Earth for the foreseeable future. For ten years, the climate denial – or “skepticism” with Morano’s words – has been rooted in the Republican party. Morano does not worry about any swift turning. On the other hand, he wishes that someone from the Trump administration would get up and take the debate to the research community. – The Trump administration predominantly addresses the climate issue solely based on economic costs and doesn’t challenge the science. There is also a need for solid science threats pushing back on the research front. It’s too quiet right now. The effect is that the media, activists and the UN attack Donald Trump on climate without anyone in the Administration fighting back on the science. Which is shameful.
