It is frequently quoted, that the “Science is Settled” when it comes to climate change. However, the nature of science is that it is never really settled – with good science, each question that is answered leads to three or more new questions. It is perhaps more accurate to say “the Politics is Settled”. As skeptics ruefully acknowledge, they may be winning the skirmishes, but the alarmists are winning the war.

Some examples of intellectual dishonesty from the climate change propagandists are:

• Changing the name from “anthropogenic global warming” (AGW) to “climate change”
• Cherry picking weather events as evidence of AGW
• Changing criteria for claims of global warming
• Predictions that don’t materialize swept under the carpet
• Computer models used for predictions which don’t match the historical data
• Using animal population changes as evidence of global warming

With Climate Change, there are four related, but separate questions, each of which will be addressed in future blogs:

• Is the earth’s temperature rising?
• Is the change in temperature man-made?
• Are the consequences of climate change harmful to humanity?
• What should be done to avoid ill-effects?

The “dishonesty” claimed in the title is clear in the climate change propagandists rather than the scientists. The propagandists include:

• the media
• celebrities
• politicians
• “environmentalists”
