Climate Money: Wastes, Distortions
and Scientific Dishonesty Behind It
Occasional lectures
in the Philippines
Paper #2 presented at Dr. Alvin Ang’s
graduate class on Public Finance
Ateneo de Manila University, Quezon City
28 January 2015
I. Climate Money, Trillions of $$$
“$90 trillion
over 15 years”
or $6 trillion a
year. Wow.
“$150 B/year by
2025-2030, and
$250-500 B/year by
2050”
Scaring and terrifying people is one
trick to fool them to accept large
scale rackets.
Ex., Dec. 2007, this scary story was
reported by BBC, that there should
have been zero ice in Arctic 2 years
ago.

Disconnect or Non-causality between global temp and CO2 concentration
And CO2 is not
an evil or
pollutant gas. It is
a useful gas.
The gas that we
humans and
animals exhale,
the gas that our
plants & crops
use in
photosynthesis.
No CO2, no
current life is
possible.
1. Climate change (CC) is true. It happened in the past, happening now,
will happen in the future. Global warming (GW) is true, happened in the
past (RWP, MWP, last century warming) and will happen again in the
future. Global cooling also true, happened in the past, happening now.
2. CC is natural (nature-made, not “man-made”), it is cyclical (warming-
cooling-warming-cooling), and has precedents (not “unprecedented”). Like
wet-dry season cycle, winter-spring-summer-fall cycle, evaporation-
condensation hydrologic cycle,
3. Skeptics do not deny CC or GW because these are true. What they
deny is that CC and GW is “man-made” or anthropogenic. CC is caused by
nature (the Sun, galactic cosmic rays, water vapor, volcanoes, ocean
oscillation, carbon cycle, hydrologic cycle,…).
4. Long-term temperature-CO2 relationship, some studies say temperature
leads CO2, other studies say it’s the reverse. Common denominator, there
are precedents of warm-cool period, lasting for decades and centuries.
III. Concluding Notes
5. Demonization, heavy regulation and
taxation of CO2 as a pollutant gas is wrong.
There is little or zero climate basis for
demonizing fossil fuel and renewables
cronyism.
6. Wastes and distortions in pursuit of climate
money are huge, science is heavily corrupted.
The UN, Al Gore, foreign aid, Greenpeace,
WWF, Oxfam, etc. continue this large scale
global corruption.
7. The UN and governments
should get out politicizing
science, expanding climate
bureaucracies, and
intervening in energy
rationing and cronyism.

Climate Money: Wastes, Distortions and Corrupted Science

  • 22. Source: http://friendsofscience.org/ Disconnect or Non-causality between global temp and CO2 concentration And CO2 is not an evil or pollutant gas. It is a useful gas. The gas that we humans and animals exhale, the gas that our plants & crops use in photosynthesis. No CO2, no current life is possible.
  • 23. 1. Climate change (CC) is true. It happened in the past, happening now, will happen in the future. Global warming (GW) is true, happened in the past (RWP, MWP, last century warming) and will happen again in the future. Global cooling also true, happened in the past, happening now. 2. CC is natural (nature-made, not “man-made”), it is cyclical (warming- cooling-warming-cooling), and has precedents (not “unprecedented”). Like wet-dry season cycle, winter-spring-summer-fall cycle, evaporation- condensation hydrologic cycle, 3. Skeptics do not deny CC or GW because these are true. What they deny is that CC and GW is “man-made” or anthropogenic. CC is caused by nature (the Sun, galactic cosmic rays, water vapor, volcanoes, ocean oscillation, carbon cycle, hydrologic cycle,…). 4. Long-term temperature-CO2 relationship, some studies say temperature leads CO2, other studies say it’s the reverse. Common denominator, there are precedents of warm-cool period, lasting for decades and centuries. III. Concluding Notes
  • 24. 5. Demonization, heavy regulation and taxation of CO2 as a pollutant gas is wrong. There is little or zero climate basis for demonizing fossil fuel and renewables cronyism. 6. Wastes and distortions in pursuit of climate money are huge, science is heavily corrupted. The UN, Al Gore, foreign aid, Greenpeace, WWF, Oxfam, etc. continue this large scale global corruption. 7. The UN and governments should get out politicizing science, expanding climate bureaucracies, and intervening in energy rationing and cronyism.
