Enron’s other secret
(May 30, 2009) In the climate-change debate, the companies on the ‘environmental’ side have the most to gain. First in a series called “Climate Profiteers”.

"The climate-change industry — the scientists, lawyers, consultants, lobbyists and, most importantly, the multinationals that work behind the scenes to cash in on the riches at stake — has emerged as the world’s largest industry."
"The groundwork had been laid well, not least by entering into relationships with scientists who, Enron expected, would further its cause (James Hansen, the scientist who more than any other is responsible for bringing the possibility of climate-change catastrophe to the public, was among the scientists Enron commissioned). Just as shrewdly, Enron saw the importance in silencing the scientists who didn’t accept the alarmism that had driven the Kyoto Protocol. In a 1998 letter, Enron CEO Ken Lay, among others, asked president Clinton to appoint a bi-partisan “Blue-Ribbon Commission” designed to pronounce on the science and, in effect, marginalize the skeptics.
The precise commission that Lay demanded didn’t happen but the general marginalization of scientists did, and continues to occur to this day, with great success. Scientists who question the Kyoto Protocol invariably find themselves subject to public ridicule; all too often they find they are unable to obtain funding for their research, or even that their employment has been terminated."
The man in this video (Dr David Deming) was contacted by someone from NPR because they wanted to interview him about an article that Dr Deming published on warming he found over the course of the past 100 to 150 years, but ONLY if Dr. Deming was willing to say it was all caused by man. When he refused to do so, the reporter hung up on him. Later a top researcher in the area of Climate Change emailed him saying that they "needed to get rid of the Medieval Warm period."
"There is an overwhelming bias today in the media regarding the issue of global warming. In the past 2 years this bias has bloomed into an irrational hysteria. Every natural disaster that occurs is now linked with global warming no matter how tenuous or impossible the connection."
"Earths climate system is complex and poorly understood. But we do know that throughout human history warmer temperatures have been associated with more stable climates and increased human health and prosperity. Colder temperatures have been correlated with climatic instability, famine and increased human mortality."
