Climate Change Science & Propaganda

Abstract

This article addresses the relationship between science and propaganda using the Climate Change controversy as a study model. The United Nations International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the recognized leader on this model issuing multiple Assessment Reports. This review begins with a discussion of the basics-what is propaganda and how does it work, followed by whether the IPCC adopted or rejected it. Next explored is how propaganda can be seamlessly fused into "report writing" in a way that arouses and makes interesting humdrum details. Some unexpected results emerged from current and historical observation data involving the Greenhouse theory, CO2 sources, ocean pH, sea levels, and ice balances. The final section confronts whether "a point of view" constrains objectivity in favor of outcome. The overall conclusion is that the earth is boringly healthy.

The Cloud Model for Climate Change

“…The history of climate change going back 500 million years has shown that climate change is a natural process and unrelated to CO 2 [13]. This was long before humans first appeared on the Earth about seven million years ago.…”

“…There are many other energy sources, including nuclear reactions at the Earth's core, nuclear decay, primordial cooling, tidal effects from the moon, etc. [13].…”

“…That does not exist. The highest average atmos-pheric temperature over the last 500 million years was 94˚F [13]. Today, the average troposphere temperature ranges from 59˚F at the surface to a minus 60˚F at the tropopause.…”

“…When the cloud cover dropped about 4.1% between 1982 and 2018 and the temperature increased at the same but inverse slope, it created a possible correlation. Is there also causation [13]? Clouds cover about 67% of the atmosphere's surface [30].…”

“…However, the temperature of the surface produces a radiation wavelength that is withing the infrared radiation window. The Greenhouse Gases absorb about 6% of the infrared radiation in this zone [13].…”
