Nature Conservancy lists BP as one of its business partners. The Conservancy also has given BP a seat on its International Leadership Council and has accepted nearly $10 million in cash and land contributions from BP and affiliated corporations over the years.

between 2007 and 2010 the Sierra Club accepted over $25 million in donations from the gas industry, mostly from…Chesapeake Energy – one of the biggest gas drilling companies in the U.S

Four big international companies, including the oil giant Exxon Mobil, said yesterday that they would give Stanford University $225 million over 10 years for research on ways to meet growing energy needs without worsening global warming.

Exxon Mobil, whose pledge of $100 million makes it the biggest of the four contributors, issued a statement saying new techniques for producing energy while reducing emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases were ”vital to meeting energy needs in the industrialized and developing world.

…

In 2000, Ford and Exxon Mobil’s global rival, BP, gave $20 million to Princeton to start a similar climate and energy research program.”

Has it occurred to you that “big oil” figured out long ago how to profit either way from climatology griff? Just like the big insurance/reinsurance companies who get to increase their premiums, and the big financial institutions who want to run carbon exchanges.

Have you no shame at all man ?

You have to explain why they are all involved in the hoax.
Kea: Unified theory of the climate change hoax

My pleasure. I have previously done so a number of times, so I will keep it brief.

1) Money

2) Power

The scientists finally have a source of billions of dollars in funding. They are living the dream. They also get recognition that they could not have imagined a few years ago. They justify it, to themselves, on the basis that the lies they tell will benefit the environment generally.

The people who are really behind this have far darker motives. They are the puppet masters. They want power. AGW is simply a means to an end. The destruction of free market, capitalist, democratic society, is their intention.

the met service are involved in the conspiracy as well

Atmospheric scientist and meteorologist, Professor Augie Auer, lost his job for not supporting AGW.

Its easy to have a “scientific consensus” when you fire any dissenting scientists, discredit them and refuse to publish their work. It a bit like the “consent” the Jews gave to relocation during the war.

Griff, you generally make intelligent comments. I most often agree with you. I reckon your playing at being stupid, just to get a bite (pleeeeease tell me I’m right)

Can readers name any other area of science where every single prediction made by a theory is wrong, yet they still all support the theory as sound?

Climate change denial?
Pointless talking this bloody scientist said that scientist said explain your conspiracy theory “hoax” as you call it .
All the other scientific organisations and government departments and all the elected officials.
You have to explain why they are all involved in the hoax.
Kea: Unified theory of the climate change hoax .

The Scientific Consensus

Year 2000 According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.”

Reality

2010:

“Heavy snow and record cold have struck the United Kingdom, and more of both are on the way.
Heavy snow began falling in eastern Scotland and northeastern England and, as of Monday, highest snowfall of at least 15 inches had been measured.”

2012:

“Forecasters expect temperatures to remain bitterly cold until next week, with overnight temperatures plunging as low as 21F (-6C) on Wednesday night”

Can readers name any other area of science where every single prediction made by a theory is wrong, yet they still all support the theory as sound?

Do you claim that Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, was correct in his prediction?

Or do you claim that Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia was wrong?

If you wish to have any credibility (on this issue) then you should answer. Yes or No.

I think your full of shit. I think you know your wrong. I think you are not honest about your motives. Why else would you start ranting about the “oil industry” when all I did was quote a source your have frequently quoted yourself ?

You have been caught out.

I expect all those who have such damage send the clean up bill to the auckland council – they being the ones who prevent the removal of these big dangerous trees.

“The data and the hypothesis do not hold together,” he said.
…..
United Future [Little Tobacco] leader Peter Dunne said there was no need to ram the bill through Parliament just to satisfy the Government’s agenda.

“No harm would be caused by deferring it by six months. It deserves greater attention and we should deal with it in a calm and rational manner,” he said.

Q+A: Rodney Hide interview

Published: 1:37PM Sunday June 27, 2010 Source: Q+A

RODNEY I’m very sceptical.

GUYON You’re very sceptical about this, but you have a recent survey in a scientific magazine of 1372 climate science experts – 98% of them believe that man made climate change is affecting the planet. I mean isn’t your position a little bit ridiculous?

GUYON Just before I leave climate change, you say you’re sceptical, fair enough. There’ll be a lot of New Zealanders who would be unconvinced that a major disaster or a major earthquake would happen in their lifetime, but they pay earthquake levies, they pay their insurance bills, because that is the prudent thing to do.
