Silencing the Sceptics – The New Dark Age in Academia
Cartoon: By R May
By Viv Forbes, Chairman,
Bob Carter is one of those
scientists that the Climatists would like to silence. His output of rational
books, articles and lectures on the pseudo-science supporting the man-made
global warming is remarkable. And unable to combat his arguments, the alarmists
and their friends in government, academia and the media seek to silence him by
ignoring his arguments or trying to destroy his support base.
What looks like another
chapter in this unspoken war, James Cook University, North Queensland has
blackballed Professor Carter because, as Jo Nova says:
“The only reasons given were that the staff of the
School of Earth and Environmental Studies had discussed the issue (without any
consultation with Carter) and decided that his views on climate change did not
fit well within the School’s own teaching and research activities. Apparently
it took up too much time to defend Carter against outside complaints about his
public writings and lectures on climate change.”

Undeterred by all this, Bob Carter and friends have
just released a new book:
Taxing Air – Facts and Fallacies in Climate
Change
In this accessible and
beautifully produced full colour book The Age's brilliant political cartoonist
John Spooner and leading environmental scientist Professor Bob Carter combine
with colleagues to answer a series of critical and highly controversial
questions about the politics and science of climate change.
Are human industrial carbon
dioxide emissions causing dangerous global warming?
If it is so then climate
change surely is one of the great moral challenges of our time.
But is it possible that the
so-called consensus science around global warming produced by lavishly funded
research institutes and with its own international political lobby organization
- the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) - is
wrong?
Could it be that the
emperor has no clothes?
Accessible, clearly written
and illustrated with simple scientific illustrations, and accompanied by
Spooner's brilliantly wry and telling cartoons, Taxing Air answers - without
the spin, evasions or propaganda that pollutes most official writing on climate
change - every question you have about global warming but have been too
intimidated by the oppressive 'consensus' to ask.
Anything
but Green
The phony election campaign is nearly over. The real
campaign has commenced.
There is only one
rule – judge every candidate (not just the party label) and put the green
zealots and climate alarmists in every party LAST.
