6/7/23, “Global warming and the confrontation between the West and the rest of the world,” Voltaire, by Thierry Meyssan
“The theory of the anthropogenic cause of global warming will soon be at the center of the confrontation between the West and Russia. While no one denies that some parts of the world are warming, there is currently no alternative explanation for this phenomenon. But renowned scientists will be presenting another at COP-28 in Dubai. They happen to be members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.”
“The theory that global warming is observable all over the planet and that it is caused by human activity has been popularized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC); a United Nations commission.
I have no expertise in climate issues and I don’t presume to judge whether this theory is true or false, but I am an expert in international politics and I can assess the work of this UN commission.
Ten years ago, I wrote that, as its name suggests, the IPCC is not a learned academy at all, but an intergovernmental group [1]. Its conclusions are therefore
not the fruit of a scientific approach,
but of a political debate.
The IPCC was created on the initiative of the British Prime Minister, Margareth Thatcher,
to support her fight against the miners’ unions.
Unsurprisingly, it concluded
that coal is bad for the environment, while nuclear power is desirable.
This is not a scientific theorem, but a political statement.
Furthermore, I pointed out that the creation of greenhouse gas emission rights is not an intergovernmental initiative,
but an idea of the Joyce Foundation,
implemented by Climate Exchange Ltd. [2].
Each state drafts its own legislation on the subject. It receives a certain quantity of emission rights, which it allocates as it sees fit to companies. Companies that only partially use their rights
can resell them on a specialized stock exchange in Chicago.
The articles of association for this exchange were drafted by a then unknown Joyce Foundation lawyer, a certain Barack Obama (future President of the United States).
The call for investors to launch the exchange was organized by Al Gore (future vice-president of the United States), and David Blood (former director of Goldman Sachs bank). Whether you consider these people to be bona fide environmental activists or high-flying swindlers is a matter of perspective.
Over time, this political device has been
cloaked in a veneer of science and good intentions, making it difficult to question.
Yet there is an alternative scientific theory to explain global warming. It was put forward by Croatian geophysicist Milutin Milanković between the wars.
The Earth’s orbit varies according to three natural cycles: eccentricity, obliquity and the precession of the equinoxes. Each of these variations follows a cycle, between 20,000 and 100,000 years, which is perfectly calculable. Combined, these three variations influence the Earth’s insolation and hence its climate. This theory was confirmed in 1976 by the study of ice cores from the Vostok drilling project in Antarctica. But it doesn’t explain everything.
The Russian Academy of Sciences has just put forward a third theory, also based on observation of nature. According to it, “The main cause of local climatic catastrophes is the increasing emission of natural hydrogen due to the alternating gravitational forces of the moon and sun, which cause holes in the ozone layer. The resulting rise in temperature and the mixing of ozone and hydrogen are the main causes of forest and steppe fires“ [3]].
The Académie des Sciences not only questions the dogma of the IPCC, it also challenges the mechanism for reducing holes in the ozone layer. Namely, the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol “whose implementation has wiped out entire sub-industries of the chemical industry
without affecting the size of ozone holes,
The Russian Academy of Sciences’ theory is also based on the idea that global warming
is not a comparable phenomenon in different parts of the world.
Contrary to popular belief, the temperature of the Pacific Ocean is actually cooling [4].
The findings of the Russian Academy of Sciences will be presented at COP-28 in Dubai in late November/early December [2023].
A political battle is already underway to silence the scientists.
It concerns the appointment of the session chairman, who will be able to give the floor to the troublemakers or, on the contrary, silence them. Mohammed ben Zayed, the ruler of the United Arab Emirates, is in charge of choosing the chairman. He has appointed Sultan al-Jaber, his Minister of Industry.
US and EU parliamentarians immediately wrote to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, asking him to oppose the move.
Their argument, as ever, is irrelevant to their objective. They argue that Sultan al-Jaber is also Chairman of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc). He would therefore be judge and jury. Instead, they recommend appointing a non-fossil fuel lobbyist.
He would also be judge and jury, but for the opposing camp.
If Russian scientists speak out at COP-28, the assembly is likely to split in two, not along scientific but political lines.
Anglo-Saxon supporters versus Russian supporters (the rest of the world).
There’s no doubt that the IPCC dogma will soon become the idée fixe of the West and
the laughing stock of the rest of the world.”

August 4, 2014, “Climate change not so global,” University of Queensland
“Scientists are calling for a better understanding of regional climates, after research into New Zealand’s glaciers has revealed climate change in the Northern Hemisphere does not directly affect the climate in the Southern Hemisphere.
The University of Queensland study showed that future climate changes may
impact differently in the two hemispheres,
meaning a generalised global approach isn’t the solution to climate issues.
UQ School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management Head Professor Jamie Shulmeister said the study provided evidence for the late survival of
significant glaciers in the mountains of New Zealand at the end of the last ice age –
a time when other ice areas were retreating.
“This study reverses previous findings which suggested that New Zealand’s glaciers disappeared at the same time as ice in the Northern Hemisphere,” he said.
“We showed that when the Northern Hemisphere started to warm at the end of the last ice age, New Zealand glaciers were unaffected.
“These glaciers began to retreat several thousand years later, when changes in the Southern Ocean led to increased carbon dioxide emissions and warming.
”This indicates that future climate change may impact differently in the two hemispheres and that
are likely to be critical for Australia and New Zealand.”
The study used exposure dating of moraines – mounds of rocks formed by glaciers – to reconstruct the rate of ice retreat in New Zealand’s Ashburton Valley after the last glacial maximum – the time when the ice sheets were at their largest.
The researchers found that the period from the last glacial maximum to the end of the ice age was longer in New Zealand than in the Northern Hemisphere.
They also found that the maximum glacier extent in New Zealand occurred several thousand years before the maximum in the Northern Hemisphere, demonstrating that
growth of the northern ice sheets did not cause expansion of New Zealand glaciers.
“New Zealand glaciers responded largely to local changes in the Southern Ocean, rather than changes in the Northern Hemisphere as was previously believed,” Professor Shulmeister said.
“This study highlights the need to understand regional climate rather than a global one-size-fits-all.”
The research was conducted in collaboration with the University of Griefswald, Germany, the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, and the University of Canterbury, New Zealand, and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science in July [2014].”
