Climate Science and the Myths of Renewable Energy - FOS Steve Goreham

"contrary to what your political leader, professor, and newspaper tell you, global warming is dominated by natural factors. As a result, thousands of climate and energy laws across hundreds of nations, all summed together, are not going to have a measureable effect on Earth’s temperatures."

I'm not an expert on climate, but this is probably the best online source I've found for information. It's fairly technical, which might be bo both good and bad, depending on your educational background and how willing you are to slog through it (from the American Chemical Society)

No thanks, I've read enough about this guy to know he's full of crap.

An article about Goreham and his false claims, for anyone interested:

[theguardian.com]

"We know Mr Goreham isn't a climate scientist, in fact, isn't a publishing scientist at all."
Is there anything more to say, really?

Thanks for posting this. This I read before wasting my time on watching that youtube video. The question is do we tolerate this bunk on this site? I'm all for free speech, but disinformation is another story.

Neither is Al Gore a climate scientist. What of it?

@bingst

Who is “we”?

@WilliamFleming Al Gore is an entirely different matter. I'm not addressing credentials. I'm addressing disinformation. You are deflecting. And we is this web site.

@WilliamFleming
The difference is that Al Gore very openly relied on the information of climate scientists, while Goreham poses as an expert in a field he has no formal education in. If you read the article I linked you will see that he makes mistakes that are unforgiveable for a real scientist in (at least one of) his books. Wouldn't you agree that those things are problematic?

I can’t even watch this. Even if you believe the minority of scientists who claim human activity has no impact on climate change, ignoring the documented negative impact on human health from oil & gas extraction, distribution, refining, wastewater injection, et.al. is a complete surrender to the corporatists, who care only about their short term profits, human casualties be damned.

But the public is 100% complicit—we are not victims. Besides that, without the use of fossil fuels a huge percent of the world’s population would have starved by now.

AND besides that, those corporations are us, the shareholders. Anyone who has a retirement account more than likely is big oil.

Do you propose going back to sailing ships, plowing with animals, mule trains for freight? Fine, but get ready for a big die-off.

Humanity would be much better off if we respected the earth, took what we needed, respected all living beings, saw all as sacred. Indigenous people survived this way for thousands of years throughout the world until colonization and extraction destroyed humans and their environments.
