The Heartland Global Warming Conference—July 7-9, 2014 These are five videos I shot during the conference. The first four are of Lord Christopher Monckton, a former advisor to Lady Margaret Thatcher. 1. Lord Monckton demolishes the claim of ‘97% Consensus among climate scientists.’ 2. This shows how the fraudulent ‘97% Consensus’ was created: 3. Lord Monckton details the hidden provisions of the 2016 Global Warming Treaty which will gravely damage the U.S. 4. Lord Monckton offers a minimal protection against the treaty by insisting on the inclusion of an escape clause 5. Dr. Patrick Michaels explains how the creation of the Manhattan Project and the Institute of Advanced Studies at Princeton inexorably led to the total corruption of academic science. Dr. Michaels’ book Meltdown was the first research on climate change I read. Books Climate Coup: Global Warming’s Invasion of Our Government and Our Lives June 2011 About the Book Global warming alarmism is invading nearly every aspect of our society. Despite convincing evidence that climate change does not portend an apocalyptic future, children are inundated with that idea in schools. Poor countries shake down rich ones in the name of climate "justice." Lawmakers try to impose tariffs and sanctions on nations that don't agree with their environmental views. The military uses climate change as a reason to enlarge its budget. And courts are compelling the government to restrict the amount of energy we use and the way we use it. Climate Coup provides an antidote to this, gathering together myth-breaking insights and data from a team of experts on the pervasive influence global warming alarmism is having on health, education, law, national defense, international development, trade, and academic publishing. "Global warming's reach has become ubiquitous," writes the editor, Patrick Michaels. "This book documents how far unelected bureaucracies have pushed this issue into our lives." Each author details the width and depth of the impact global warming alarmism is having on his or her area of expertise. The coverage includes: -How the Constitution's limited government restraints have been torn away, allowing global warming policy to be dictated by the president. -The deliberate abdication of legislative authority by Congress to further concentrate regulatory power in the executive and judicial branches. -How outrageous exaggerations of global warming fuel budget expansion within the Defense Department. -How students are subjected to forms of climate change education that are akin to social engineering. -How trade policies do nothing about climate change but erode market freedoms. -Ending the myth that global warming reduces the quality of life in developing countries. -An examination of the unrealistic and unsupported public health claims made about global warming. Climate Coup confronts the exaggerations, opportunism, and myths about global warming that are all too pervasively altering the shape of our lives and provides the tools and insights necessary to push back against the takeover. Climate of Extremes: Global Warming Science They Don’t Want You to Know January 2009 About the Book There's a whole new world of global warming science today, but few people hear about it. In recent years, an internally consistent body of scientific literature has emerged that argues cogently for global warming but against the gloom-and-doom vision of climate change. But those who merely call attention to this literature are intimidated, blacklisted, and even driven from prestigious scientific employment. Calling the current scientific environment a "climate of extremes" is an understatement. It's a fact that there are fewer citations in the refereed scientific literature providing evidence for the moderate view of global warming, but that's to be expected. In Climate of Extremes, climatologists Patrick J. Michaels and Robert Balling Jr. explain that climate science is hardly unbiased, even though the global climate community itself believes that any new finding has an equal probability of making our climatic future appear more or less dire. Michaels and Balling examine all aspects of the apocalyptic vision of climate change making headlines almost every day: Hurricanes pumped up by global warming, rapid melting of Greenland and Antarctica resulting in 20 feet of sea-level rise in the next 90 years, that global warming is occurring at an increasing pace, and there is a massive increase in heat-wave related deaths. Each one of these pop-culture icons of climate change turns out to be short on facts and long on exaggeration. People who read Climate of Extremes will emerge well-armed against an army of extremists hawking climate change as the greatest threat ever to our society and way of life. Meltdown: The Predictable Distortion of Global Warming by Scientists, Politicians, and the Media September 2004 About the Book Why is news about global warming always bad? Why do scientists so often offer dire predictions about the future of the environment? In Meltdown, climatologist Patrick J. Michaels says it’s only natural. He argues that the way we do science today--when issues compete with each other for monopoly funding by the federal government--creates a culture of exaggeration and a political community that then takes credit for having saved us from certain doom. Michaels starts with a succinct discussion of climate-change science and then unrolls a litany of falsehood, exaggeration, and misstatement. He cites hundreds of errors and exaggerations in scientific papers, news reports, and television sound bites--from the “National Assessment” of global warming, a Clinton-era document that used computer models that its authors knew did not work, to the infamous New York Times story about the melting of the North Pole, published in September 2000 and halfheartedly retracted three weeks later. An eminently readable and often humorous critique, Meltdown explains why these exaggerations persist and what to do about them. The Satanic Gases: Clearing the Air about Global Warming About the Book Global warming is vastly overrated as an environmental threat, argue leading climatologists Patrick J. Michaels and Robert Balling, Jr. Former Vice President Gore staked much of his career on a largely mythical problem, they write. The Satanic Gases marshals an impressive array of scientific data, studies, and analyses that argue, cogently and consistently, that the initial forecasts of rapid global warming were simply wrong. But, perhaps more important, the book points out that attempts to "fix" the forecast by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are even more misguided than the original projections. The authors argue that the jury is already in on global warming, and the verdict is a modest heating over the 21st century—very similar to what occurred during the last third of the 20th century. The vast majority of warming will take place in the winter, and within that season, the coldest, deadliest air masses will show the greatest change. The final third of the last century saw the greatest improvements in food supply, wealth, and longevity of life ever experienced. Some improvements actually resulted from changes in the earth’s natural greenhouse effect and others were totally insensitive to temperature. The authors argue that it is virtually impossible to reverse all of that progress with only a continued slow warming of the planet. Unlike every other book on global warming, The Satanic Gases places the issue in its proper social and scientific context. Citing the pioneering work of historian of science Thomas Kuhn and economist James Buchanan, Michaels and Balling demonstrate that it was inevitable that global warming would be distorted by the political sphere and that most scientists would either stand mute or actually assist in that process. But, the authors argue, such distortions in science are always temporary, and inevitably the scientific community will concede that earlier forecasts dramatically exaggerated the threat of global warming.   These are merely videos I took during talks at the conference. www.hearland.org will put up all the speeches on their web site soon.
