Climate science mistakes betray the poor

By Tom Harris and Tim Ball - posted Monday, 15 September 2014


None of this was supposed to happen according to the computer models on which the climate scare is founded.

The San Francisco-based Climate Policy Initiative has demonstrated that worldwide spending on climate finance now totals almost $1 billion per day. Tragically, only 6% of this goes to helping people adapt to real climate change today, however caused. The rest is wasted trying to control what might happen in the distant future.

Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, thanked the television weather presenters “for volunteering their time and their skill to communicate to millions of people the reality we are all facing by 2050 if climate change is left unaddressed. I am sure their films will inspire everyone of the absolute necessity of a meaningful, universal new agreement in Paris in 2015."

The only climate agreement required is one that helps our most vulnerable citizens adapt to climate change, most of which is undoubtedly natural. Allocating more importance to the unpredictable problems of people yet to be born than the serious issues faced by those suffering today is immoral.
