The Backup Scam

Without any evidence, academics have been claiming that increasing levels of CO2 are causing the oceans to acidify and dissolve corals.

This never made any sense because corals evolved when CO2 levels were fifteen times higher than now.

Measured data never provided any evidence in support of the scam.

On the flip side, Peter Ridd was fired for telling the truth about corals.

I have been discussing the ocean acidification scam for a long time.  In 2009 a climate modeler told me :

“Global warming may be nonsense, but what we are doing is still good because of ocean acidification”

The Backup Scam

“The case against science is straightforward: much of the scientific literature, perhaps half, may simply be untrue. Afflicted by studies with small sample sizes, tiny effects, invalid exploratory analyses, and flagrant conflicts of interest, together with an obsession for pursuing fashionable trends of dubious importance, science has taken a turn towards darkness. As one participant put it, “poor methods get results”

Lancet Editor Richard Horton

1967 – Rapid Melting Of Norway’s Glaciers

“Glaciers Melting Fast, Says Norway Scientist.

OSLO—Norway’s glaciers are melting fast. In fact, says glaciologist Olav Liestol of the Norwegian Polar Institute, if the melting continues at the rate of the past 30 years, all Norway’s glaciers will have vanished a hundred years from now,

The tips of most Norwegian glaciers are receding well over 65 feet a year.”

1947 – Glaciers Melting Fast, Cities May Drown

“JUNE 25, 1947.

WORLD.CLIMATE GETTING WARMER,

Scientist Claims Glaciers: Melting Fast

New York (UP)}—The world’s cli- mate is gradually getting warmer, |according to’ Prof, Hans Ahlman, Swedish geographer and glaciologist of the University of Stockholm, who is now on a lecture tour of the United States.

The glaciers of the Arctic, he points out, are melting more rap- idly, which means the water is getting warmer. That, in turn, makes many kinds of fish migrate further north than hitherto—among them sed. The drift ice does not spread over as large a territory as in years ‘past.

Thus the shipping season of coal from the Spitzbergen fields bas in- creased from 95 days at the beginning of the century to 200 days.

This improvement in the climate has also resulted in the growth of forests in areas which earlier were treeless. Barley has now reached as far north as Norway, and craps are in general more abundant in parts where they were poor before. |

The tropics, too, have been subject to change in the last 15 to 20 years, though the increase in heat is less noticeable there. But Prof. Ahlman sounded a warning note about the growing speed at which the glaciers are melting. If it continues unabated, he fears it may mean vast inundations of inhabited coasts and low-lying country in many parts of the world.”
