I keep wondering how to counter all these lies.
Does anyone know if this is true, as he says about himself
"It was for me, even with my scientific and engineering background and
having been a former space shuttle engineer, NASA consultant, White
House advisor on space science and national space policy..."
I wonder if we can prove that these people are telling lies then that
may begin to turn the tide in our favour as regards public opinion. The
latest poll I saw three quarters of Britons didn't believe in
anthropogenic global warming

Forumers,
esp. those of you interested in the denialist 'assault'. This below is
one individual who has crept onto my incoming (unsolicited) emails. I
hardly bother myself but it's the sort of stuff which is currently

If not so, simply delete!

Mary L. Schapiro
Chairman
Securities and Exchange Commission
100 F Street, NE
Washington, D.C. 20549
March 19, 2009
SUBJECT: Risks to Companies and Investors from Climate Change
Instruments.
Dear Chairman Schapiro,
Please accept my best wishes for your appointment as the Chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission. Clearly, the challenges before
you are unprecedented in US history and demand that we all contribute
in our own way to the stabilization of the economy and to the success
of the SEC in its regulation of the securities markets. You certainly
have my support to that end.
Doubtless also, the financial scandals that have contributed to our
country¹s current economic troubles could have been mitigated early on
if people who knew of irregularities had spoken to authorities sooner.
It is in that light that I bring to your attention a potentially
serious likelihood of high risks to investors surrounding matters
related to climate change investment and trading instruments.
Specifically, I am writing you to advise of what I believe is the
probability of violations of SEC regulations and other laws and the
likelihood of substantial investor losses that may result from the
dealing in climate control instruments. These instruments are known
also as Œemission allowances¹ or Œcap and trade¹ programs and permits,
or other trading platforms and investment vehicles designed to control
man made greenhouse gas emissions and their supposed effects of the
Earth¹s climate. The attached press release and letter to President
Obama contain additional relevant facts behind this allegation. Both
documents are accessible at the web site for the Space and Science
Research Center (a division of Verity). www.spaceandscience.net.
See SSRC Press Release 2-2009.
In essence, a large and ever more vocal percentage of scientists around
the globe, believe that the science behind the supposed man made global
warming/climate change theory is deeply flawed, is more a tool of
politics than science, and is unreliable as a means for climate change
forecasting. Recognized scientists and world leaders have already
labeled man made global warming/climate change by terms such as ²scam,²
³hoax,² or ³fraud.² The current President of the European Union has
called man made global warming a ³ŠbadŠvalueless theory.² Climate
models that have been produced by the United Nations Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (UN-IPCC) and others have shown poor
correlation of man made influences to past or present climate periods.
Their previous projections for our climate future this century
forecasting ever increasing global temperatures caused by CO2 growth
have strayed widely from their original estimates. In fact, just the
opposite is taking place; the Earth has gotten colder! These sources,
in ignoring the dominant role the Sun plays in our climate, have
completely missed the recent dramatic drop in the Earth¹s temperature
and the now confirmed long term trend toward lower global temperatures.
They have also been discredited and surprised by the recent start of
the next climate change to a long cold era and what I call a ³solar
hibernation.² This hibernation is a period of greatly reduced activity
on the part of the Sun which records show, is a certain indicator of a
coming, bitterly cold era on Earth. Therefore, these inaccurate,
obsolete, if not disproved man driven climate concepts, should no
longer be used as primary methods for government policy development
much less as the basis for creation of sophisticated trading platforms
or investment instruments.
These facts may come as surprising revelations. It was for me, even
with my scientific and engineering background and having been a former
space shuttle engineer, NASA consultant, White House advisor on space
science and national space policy, and for the last ten years a
believer that man had some ability to affect the Earth¹s climate. But,
after studying the full range of factors behind climate change, I
realized I was never given the full story by the government, the
mainstream media, or by the UN, and that many Americans like me had
been intentionally misled about the causes of climate change.
The bottom line is this. There is substantial new science and solid
evidence to show that the global warming period of the past twenty
years (caused primarily by the Sun) has now ended, that the effect of
CO2 on the climate is minor at most, and that the Sun is the primary
influencing factor behind climate changes on Earth and not mankind. The
concept of man having the ability to affect the long term climate
change cycles of the Earth, regardless whether others believe it is a
fraud, is nonetheless a theory that is just plain wrong. It simply is a
highly unreliable tool to predict to how the Earth¹s climate changes.
It has failed to demonstrate cause and effect for the Earth¹s climate;
past, present, and now in our future with the next climate change. On
the other hand I believe that those who ignore and or continue to cover
up the truth about the Sun¹s activity and the Sun¹s influence on the
Earth¹s climate are engaging in a blatant deception.
As a result, any organization that is using man made global
warming/climate change as its basis for trading in climate control
instruments or otherwise attempting to extract money from the American
people in an effort to control the Earth¹s climate must be regarded as
engaging in business that carries substantial risk from both a legal
and investment perspective. With these facts in mind, one can
reasonably conclude:
1. Publicly traded companies
who deal in instruments designed to control carbon/CO2 emissions for
the purpose of climate control may be committing violations of SEC
regulations and/or other US laws.
2. Individuals who knowingly
construct and trade in speculative, high risk carbon and CO2 or other
climate control instruments may be subject to penalties and sanctions
as required by SEC regulations and/or other US laws.
3. Without full disclosure
of the risks involved, trading in any climate control instruments may
now or at some point in the near future, be in violation of securities
regulations or other laws and could result in major losses to
investors. At the very least, these instruments, if issued, should be
accompanied by a listing of their inherent high risks. The following
are recommended warnings submitted for your consideration as part of
the fair disclosure of risks that companies and investors may face in
dealing in climate control instruments:
a. The underlying science
behind man-made global warming and climate change has not been proven
and in fact fails to account for historical and present climate change
patterns.
b. Global warming per se no
longer exists.
c. The Earth has entered a
period of deep cold weather that may last several decades and could be
the coldest weather in over 200 years.
d. These climate control
instruments must therefore be regarded as speculative and of the
highest risk.
e. Those individuals and
companies investing in climate regulating programs should be both
Œaccredited¹ and demonstrate Œsufficient¹ knowledge of the various
causes and effects of climate change, and otherwise able to withstand a
complete loss of their capital placed in greenhouse gas controlling or
related trading and investment instruments.
f. That US government
offices or any organization involved in accounting for or otherwise
anticipating benefit from such speculative climate control instruments
should understand that the estimated revenues or benefits from these
speculative programs cannot be guaranteed to any extent.
4. There is reason to
believe that even if such instruments were allowed, that they might
become worthless in short order as the world¹s investment community
comes to the obvious realization that the world is getting much colder
and that such instruments and programs may have no material impact on
climate change in any case. For anyone to deal in what they have been
told or suspect are now or may become Œworthless securities¹ may be in
violation of SEC regulations and other US laws.
5. Corporations and market
makers who begin trading in these risky instruments may become subject
to a wide range of litigation by shareholders and/or the public or
independent oversight agencies. Organizations that recommend
participation in or rate these risky climate change instruments without
proper evaluation and disclosure to investors may be placing their
organizations in legal jeopardy.
The general public is growing in its recognition of the complete and
accurate story of global climate change regardless of the heavily
biased man centered version it has been force-fed over the years. The
public has as a result, become increasingly skeptical of man made
climate change. A Gallup poll released this past week showed a growing
and all time high rating of 41% of Americans who thought man¹s
influence on climate change was exaggerated. Imagine what that
percentage would be once they are told the full story. Further, what
would that percentage be when they realize they have been purposefully
misled about the causes of climate change? It is just a matter of time
before they have the whole truth, at which time these proposed CO2 and
other climate control instruments and programs may well collapse for
lack of basic credibility and core value, resulting in major losses for
those who had invested in them.
Given the difficult period our economy is in now, and the astounding
losses seen by investors on Wall Street in the past two years, I
believe it would be ill-advised to recommend that investors, companies,
and taxpayers put any portion of their remaining capital into these
climate control mechanisms that carry significant risk with a potential
for loss of all invested funds.
This letter does not ask the SEC to make a ruling on the science behind
climate change just like it does not do so on securities currently
widely traded that are heavily dependent on sophisticated science and
engineering concepts. I do respectfully request, though, that the SEC
take a lead role in the protection of investors who may be exposed via
publicly traded companies who are or will soon be dealing in such
questionable, highly speculative, and extremely risky instruments.
The administration of President Barack Obama has just issued the 2010
budget. Many features of the budget and its economic stimulus portions
are sorely needed by our economy. We all need the President to help
turn the economy around. Some elements of the budget in environmental
and energy areas may actually be necessary, if not expanded to help
combat the coming cold era. As currently written however, elements of
the budget that involve man made global warming and climate change
control may cause much harm to the economy and our people as specified
above and in the attached press release and letter to the President. It
is a tragic irony that $646 billion in climate change revenue is
planned in the 2010 budget based on stopping global warming, a
naturally occurring climate phase that has already ended, while on the
other hand, not one dollar has been programmed to prepare our country
for the dangerous cold that is rapidly advancing toward us.
It is still my hope that the President will be correctly advised by his
cabinet about the complete set of causes and effects surrounding
climate change. In particular, he needs to be told about the historic,
if not ominous change now taking place in the Sun. Perhaps then, he
will agree with the judgment of a host of scientists world wide that a
reversal in his climate change policies must be made and soon.
In the meantime, I strongly urge your independent action as Chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission by taking these important steps:
1. Immediately halt all trading in climate control instruments
(including carbon or CO2 instruments) by firms under your oversight
responsibilities.
2. Initiate an independent, apolitical and objective review of the
suitability of climate control instruments for the general investment
community.
3. Regardless of a review, immediately put in place the maximum set of
measures to protect investors by insuring they have received proper
disclosure of all the risks involved in climate control instruments.
4. Extend these protective measures to all US states and federal
government programs which also involve trading in climate control
instruments.
A copy of this letter is being forwarded to key US government and
business leaders, including US Attorney General Eric Holder and the
attorneys general of all US states, for their information and action as
appropriate.
Sincerely,
John L. Casey
