The Myth of the Climate Change ‘97%’

The Myth of the Climate Change ‘97%’ What is the origin of the false belief—constantly repeated—that almost all scientists agree about global warming? By Joseph Bast And Roy Spencer 2014 Last week Secretary of State John Kerry warned graduating students at Boston College of the “crippling consequences” of climate change. “Ninety-seven percent of the world’s scientists,” he added, “tell us this is urgent.” Where did Mr. Kerry get the 97% figure?

How a secretive elite created the EU to build a world government

How a secretive elite created the EU to build a world government Voters in Britain’s referendum need to understand that the European Union was about building a federal superstate from day one by Prof Alan Sked As the debate over the forthcoming EU referendum gears up, it would be wise perhaps to remember how Britain was led into membership in the first place. It seems to me that most people have little idea why one of the victors of the Second World War should have become almost desperate to join this “club”. That’s a shame, because answering that question is… View Article
