President Obama has not been well served by his climate change advisers. In particular, the limitations of ‘renewable energy’ as a substitute for fossil-fuel and nuclear sources have not been properly acknowledged, the harsh economic and scientific realities being submerged in a rosy bed of political do-gooding.
Following the manipulation of climate data by collusive investigators in Britain and the USA, together with perversion of the peer review process and discrediting of the UN-IPCC AR4 sourcing and review procedures, a full and open discussion of “Whither now?” needs to take place in the absence of corrupt and cynical political and corporate manipulators.
Should a decision be reached to abandon or substantially delay investment in this area while existing data are revised and new, reliable climate data assembled, this would form a substantial contribution to recovery from a world-wide recession.
