2005 Nobel Prize in Medicine

“Against prevailing dogmas, you discovered that one of the most common and important diseases of mankind, peptic ulcer disease, is caused by a bacterial infection of the stomach.” – Nobel presentation speech

Where is the evidence?

There is no satisfactory logic and evidence linking human emissions of carbon dioxide

with a significant warming of our climate.

NONE !

Cosmic Rays and the Cloud Mystery

Henrik Svensmark, PhD Director of the Center for Sun-Climate Research Danish Space Research Institute (DSRI)

"During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer cosmic rays meant fewer clouds—and a warmer world."

What are the important issues?

Catastrophe and the survival of man and the planet?

A profound ignorance of science and how it works?

Was there a 0.5 to 1.0 C warming over the 20th century?

Is carbon dioxide a greenhouse gas?

What warming is expected for a doubling of CO2?

Warming since 1977 and no warming since 1998?

Are we qualified to talk about Global Warming?

Do we work for the oil companies?

The Infamous 'Hockey Stick' Graph from Michael Mann (MANN-made Global Warming)

Discredited by Wegman Report to National Academy of Sciences

Media claim: “New studies indicate that temperatures in recent decades are higher than at any time in the past 1000 years……with the 1990’s as the warmest decade and 1998 as the warmest year”

The Wegman Report cited serious errors by Michael Mann, but the UN IPCC continues to use it

UN Computer Simulations of Climate are Computer Games USELESS in Predicting the Future

Professor of Mathematical and Theoretical Physics, Gerhard Gerlich:

“To derive climate catastrophes from these computer games and to scare Mankind to death is a crime.” “It cannot be overemphasized that even if the [fluid] equations are simplified considerably, one cannot

determine numerical solutions, even for small space regions and even for small time intervals.

This situation will not change in the next 1000 years regardless of progress made in computer hardware.

As the extremely simplified one-fluid equations are unsolvable, the many-fluid equations would be more

unsolvable, the equations that include the averaged equations describing the turbulence would be yet more

unsolvable, if “unsolvable" had a comparative.”

“Hence, the computer simulations of global climatology are not based on

physical laws.”

Michael Crichton on Propaganda

“The greatest challenge facing mankind is the challenge of distinguishing reality from fantasy, truth from propaganda. Perceiving the truth has always been a challenge to mankind, but in the information age (or as I think of it, the disinformation age) it takes on a special urgency and importance”

Michael Crichton Author and MD Harvard University

What do the Best and the Brightest say about Global Warming?

“The need to courageously resist hysteria is clear.”
