Gentlemen, the culmination of our great plan approaches fast. What the Master called “the ordering of men’s affairs by a transcendent world state, ordained by God and answerable to no man”, which we now know as Communist World Government, advances towards its climax at Copenhagen. For 185 years since the Master, known to the laity as Joseph Fourier, launched his scheme for world domination, the entire physical science community has been working towards this moment.

The early phases of the plan worked magnificently. First the Master’s initial thesis – that the release of infrared radiation is delayed by the atmosphere – had to be accepted by the scientific establishment. I will not bother you with details of the gold paid, the threats made and the blood spilt to achieve this end. But the result was the elimination of the naysayers and the disgrace or incarceration of the Master’s rivals. Within 35 years the 3rd Warden of the Grand Temple of the Knights Carbonic (our revered prophet John Tyndall) was able to “demonstrate” the Master’s thesis. Our control of physical science was by then so tight that no major objections were sustained.

More resistence was encountered (and swiftly despatched) when we sought to install the 6th Warden (Svante Arrhenius) first as professor of physics at Stockholm University, then as rector. From this position he was able to project the Master’s second grand law – that the infrared radiation trapped in a planet’s atmosphere increases in line with the quantity of carbon dioxide the atmosphere contains. He and his followers (led by the Junior Warden Max Planck) were then able to adapt the entire canon of physical and chemical science to sustain the second law.

Then began the most hazardous task of all: our attempt to control the instrumental record. Securing the consent of the scientific establishment was a simple matter. But thermometers had by then become widely available, and amateur meteorologists were making their own readings. We needed to show a steady rise as industrialisation proceeded, but some of these unfortunates had other ideas. The global co-option of police and coroners required unprecedented resources, but so far we have been able to cover our tracks.

The over-enthusiasm of certain of the Knights Carbonic in 1998 was most regrettable. The high reading in that year has proved impossibly costly to sustain. Those of our enemies who have yet to be silenced maintain that the lower temperatures after that date provide evidence of global cooling, even though we have ensured that eight of the ten warmest years since 1850 have occurred since 2001(10). From now on we will engineer a smoother progression.

Our co-option of the physical world has been just as successful. The thinning of the Arctic ice cap was a masterstroke. The ring of secret nuclear power stations around the Arctic Circle, attached to giant immersion heaters, remains undetected, as do the space-based lasers dissolving the world’s glaciers.

Altering the migratory and reproductive patterns of the world’s wildlife has proved more challenging. Though we have now asserted control over the world’s biologists, there is no accounting for the unauthorised observations of farmers, gardeners, bird-watchers and other troublemakers. We have therefore been forced to drive migrating birds, fish and insects into higher latitudes, and to release several million tonnes of plant pheromones every year to accelerate flowering and fruiting. None of this is cheap, and ever more public money, secretly diverted from national accounts by compliant governments, is required to sustain it.

The co-operation of these governments requires unflagging effort. The capture of George W. Bush, a late convert to the cause of Communist World Government, was made possible only by the threatened release of footage filmed by a knight at Yale, showing the future president engaged in coitus with a Ford Mustang. Most ostensibly-capitalist governments remain apprised of where their real interests lie, though I note with disappointment that we have so far failed to eliminate Vaclav Klaus. Through the offices of compliant states, the Master’s third grand law has been accepted: world government will be established under the guise of controlling manmade emissions of greenhouse gases.

Keeping the scientific community in line remains a challenge. The national academies are becoming ever more querulous and greedy, and require higher pay-offs each year. The inexplicable events of the past month, in which the windows of all the leading scientific institutions were broken and a horse’s head turned up in James Hansen’s bed, appear to have staved off the immediate crisis, but for how much longer can we maintain the consensus?

Knights Carbonic, now that the hour of our triumph is at hand, I urge you all to redouble your efforts. In the name of the Master, go forth and terrify.

Professor Ernst Kattweizel, University of Redcar. 21st Grand Warden of the Temple of the Knights Carbonic.

He-he.

Sir

Robert Gentle, that busy little cog in the Climate Change Denial machinery, has repeated a downright lie, fabricated within the last months (Beware global cooling, Letters, November 9). He has resorted to quote-mining a talk by Prof Mojib Latif, warning of the very distortions Gentle is now peddling.

In his talk in September 2009, Prof Latif warns that natural variations in the long term warming might be misinterpreted by the media out of ignorance – or malice. What Latif actually said was: “..we all believe this long-term warming trend is anthropogenic in nature, is man made. … [I]t may well happen that you enter a decade, or maybe even two, when the temperature cools, relative to the present”. He then goes on to warn about this natural variation being misinterpreted by the climate-change sceptics. To emphasise his position he says, “I am definitely not one of the sceptics. And if my name was not Mojib Latif, my name would be Global Warming”.

No sooner were his words cold than one Lorne Gunter, a US columnist, did exactly that and completely misrepresented Latif’s message, saying that instead of global warming Latif was predicting global cooling. Within minutes this was picked up by Fox News and the lie was spread to the rest of the climate-deniers including, it would seem, Robert Gentle. The interesting thing is that the creation of this lie is well documented by environmentalist, Peter Sinclair. Have a look at his short video Birth of a Climate Crock (Google it). It lays bare the dishonesty of the climate deniers.

Sinclair has this to say: “It is a truism of human nature that honesty, integrity and openness are seen by evil and greedy men as weakness, something to be exploited and used. The only remedy is to keep shining the light and keep telling the truth.”

Here is the video:

As usual, of course, climate-change deniers cherry-pick the data, presenting out-lying points (1998 being the warmest year on record) as references and ignoring explanatory data. And of course ignoring the fact that the last 10 years has been the warmest decade on record!

Peter Sinclair has produced another excellent video, this time challenging the global-warming-has-stopped canard. What’s disturbing is that with the return of an El Niño cycle, we can look forward to some hefty increases in global tempratures in the coming few years.

This data corresponds closely with that used by Sir David Attenborough, in this video:

Now environmentalist Peter Sinclair has put together a presentation which shows how the data was distorted in the movie. And when you see how inconvenient data was simply left out, it smacks of deliberate fraud.
