AUNTY IS MISTAKEN BUT NOT MALICIOUS

Consulting geologist Marc Hendrickx, who also runs the ABC News Watch blog talks of journalists acting as echo chambers for alarmist scientists.

"Certain ABC reporters seem to be suffering from Stockholm syndrome when it comes to interviewing scientists promoting climate alarm.

Without bothering to properly verify the facts, they act as echo chambers, spreading misconceptions."

EFFECTS OUTCOMES OF GLOBAL WARMING ALARM

Kesten Green and J.Scott Armstrong in a study in progress look at the forecasting methods for global warming.

"To date, no scientific forecasts support the alarm over dangerous manmade global warming.
Improper procedures were used to forecast dangerous warming, and there has been no validation to support their use (Green and Armstrong 2007a; Green, Armstrong and Soon 2009).
The basic claim by those who promote alarming predictions of dangerous manmade global
warming is that nearly all scientists agree that it will occur. However, voting by scientists on what will happen in the future is not a proper approach to science. Moreover, the claim that nearly all scientists agree has been shown to be false."

WIND ENERGY'S HOUSE OF CARDS

Steve Goreham, executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America writing at the Energy Tribune website points out the realities of trying to 'save the planet' with wind power.

"The story of Denmark is illustrative. Over the last 20 years, Denmark has installed 5,100 wind towers, one for every thousand citizens. A map with a black dot for each wind farm shows that 300-foot-high steel and concrete towers can be seen from almost every field, farm, hill, and seashore of this nation. In 2009, these towers provided only 767 megawatts of electricity, less than the output of a single conventional coal-fired power plant."
