Mike Adams wrote this article claiming that the government isn’t mistaken in it’s claims about climate change, rather, the government is intentionally committing fraud in their claims about climate change. Here is my response.
I’m no one’s apologist, but I can’t tolerate dishonesty or stupidity on either side of this debate.
Under the section “Here’s the proof of the climate change fraud” – I overlaid the two graphs one on top of the other, and they are nearly identical. They look different, because the spike that begins about 1998 keeps going up from 1998 to about 2001. One graph ends earlier than the other. You can try it yourself, you’ll find the same result.
Mike Adams writes “This is a clear case of scientific fraud being carried out on a grand scale in order to deceive the entire world about global warming.” I’ll be a little kinder, and say that maybe it isn’t fraud that Mike Adams is committing, maybe he’s just not very good at reading graphs.
Under the section entitled “EPA data also confirm the global warming hoax” – I’m no expert here. In fact, I had to look up the term “heat index”. The first result of a google search for “heat index” was this page, where we find the graph that Mr. Adams used. The EPA – one of the agencies generally accused of attempting to perpetrate the fraud of climate change – isn’t trying to hide this graph. Why? Because a “heat wave index” isn’t the same as “average temperature”. Indeed, climate scientists expect erratic weather behavior as a result of anthropogenic climate change. The fact that the conditions which brought on the dust bowl happen to have had an impact on heat waves is interesting, but probably irrelevant to the conversation.
I could continue the critique, but I think it is clear that the author of the study is either willfully deceitful, or genuinely does not understand what he is talking about.
