“It
was at this 1992 ‘Earth Summit’ that the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was established. One of its first
actions was to unilaterally and deceitfully redefine the common
expression ‘Climate change’ to only refer to climate change that was
directly or indirectly caused by human activity. It announced that
‘natural’ climate change would be known as ‘climate variability’ on the
basis of a claim that natural forces could only account for short-term
variability. From this time forward, everyone who used the very common
expression term ‘climate change’ would be reinforcing the UNFCCC’s view
that human activity was a significant influence on climate, and only
technically those who explicitly talked about ‘climate variability’
would referring to ‘natural’ change. One wonders whether if the meanings
of the two terms had been swapped whether the notion of manmade climate
change would have inveigled its way into the public consciousness as
much has with the words ‘climate change.’”
Such a simple redefinition. Such a huge impact on policy all over the world.
The report concludes:
“The
IPCC, and the UNFCC that it serves, be disbanded. These organizations
have been founded on faulty assumptions and shown little integrity and
candour when it comes to uncertainties and the possible influences of
other forces. Both appear to have a political agenda without scientific
justification. Neither has provided any evidence for restricting or
reducing carbon dioxide emissions and yet on the claims of the IPCC the
UNFCCC has demanded that sovereign governments impose onerous conditions
on their citizens and businesses and have threatened huge financial
penalties for countries that fail to meet certain unjustifiable
requirements.”
Good point.
