Wow. Even Pravda – the original propaganda arm of the Communist Party – (and still über -loyal to the Motherland) gets it right on AGW (anthropological global warming) ~

The foundation publications for modern global warming science meet no criteria for valid science. Methodologies are not given, measurements are not made and evidence is not described. Instead, preposterous fantasies on atmospheric studies are glibly mentioned with self-contradictory blather. The studies consist of nothing but a desired end point with fictitious methods of deriving the result.

 
Anyone willing to do some basic research will discover that Pravda’s assessment is correct. In an odd ideological inversion, it’s now pseudo-scientists from the free west who are peddling falsehoods. Not only that, some of them are sounding eerily like the old KGB: US Philosophy Professor: Jail ‘Denialist’ Climate Scientists for Criminal Negligence ~

Lawrence Torcello – assistant professor of philosophy at Rochester Institute of Technology, NY, writes in an essay at The Conversation that climate scientists who fail to communicate the correct message about “global warming” should face trial for “criminal negligence”. 😯

 
Never mind that – as Pravda puts in – the man-caused climate change claims are total fakery ~

Scientists do not have the slightest ability to convert the details, complexities and randomness of the atmosphere to measurement or calculation, which is why weathermen cannot predict more than a few days for simple elements such as temperature and precipitation […]
 
Those of us who disagree are told that we are “flat earthers.” Senator Barbara Boxer says she can look out the window and see it happening. Weathermen can only predict the weather for a few days into the future due to the extreme randomness of atmospheric effects which do not reduce to analysis. Yet climatologists determine the snow surface area and the amount of radiation it will reflect for at least the next hundred years.

 
 
It still seems easy to laugh these censorship advocates off as a wacky fringe group, but their voices are growing louder and harsher. We need to start taking them much more seriously.
 
Especially since – as Mark Steyn found out recently – these enviro-marxists have no sense of humor. Steyn, author, columnist and frequent guest host on the Rush Limbaugh Show is actually being sued for having the temerity to mock the already thoroughly discredited “hockey-stick” theory of AGW.
 
This is a full-frontal assault on free speech. You can support Steyn’s legal battle against Mann’s thuggery HERE.

Viscount Monckton responds to Lawrence Torcello’s irresponsibly outrageous rant, citing the First Amendment and the very policy on academic freedom that Torcello’s school, the Rochester Institute of Technology, embraces ~

By looking at only one side of the account, and by threatening scientists who disagree with him with imprisonment for criminal negligence, Mr Torcello offends fundamentally against the principles of academic freedom that he will himself no doubt pray in aid when he is confronted with the present complaint, and against the principle of tolerance of diverse opinions – including, horribile dictu, opinions at variance with his own – that is enjoined upon him by the Institute’s mission statement, and by common sense.

Touché.
