Is the COVID19 lockdown not only reducing the spread of the virus, but also a good cover for a global "Climate Tulip-O-Mania" economic meltdown? Michelle Stirling, Communications Manager for Friends of Science Society discusses two articles - one by Ron Clutz of Science Matters, and the original article by Terence Corcoran - on how the global financial community was supposedly working diligently to prevent another economic meltdown like the subprime mortgage meltdown of 2008. But they failed us by focusing on the fake climate 'crisis' and completely ignoring what was once the #1 risk on every insurance company's list... 'pandemic'.By 2019, climate activists and green carbonbaggers had pushed 'climate crisis' into first place, and pandemic was not even in the top ten anymore. In Dec 2019, at COP25, the parties failed to come to agreement on carbon pricing for carbon credits. On New Years Eve, Mark Carney was telling investors not to invest in fossil fuels. Then came COVID19 - and fossil fuels and their by products became the life-saving energy and tools for saving lives. Now Mark Carney, as UN climate czar along with his banking colleagues, all of whom failed to protect us, is still pushing the failed climate narrative. Propping up a dead horse? As Mark Schapiro noted in his Feb. 2010 article in Harper's Magazine, carbon markets entail the 'lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no one' - much like back in the days of Tulip-o-mania in Holland, where that mass public delusion led to people buying and selling tulip bulbs for enormous sums of money or trade, tulip bulbs that had not yet even been propagated. You could trade a tulip bulb for a ship! Just as recently the IPCC suggested that carbon prices could be anywhere from $20 to $27,000/tonne. There are several good books on these cyclical mass public delusions that strike society - one of them is "Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" https://www.cmi-gold-silver.com/pdf/mackaych2451824518-8.pdf ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTQ2rePxGVo

At the Porto, Portugal climate science conference 2018, Friends of Science Society spoke with Howard Dewhirst, a Professional Geologist from Australia, and a Fellow of the Geological Society of London and co-author of an important letter disputing the Society's 'consensus' position on climate science. The claim of a 97% 'consensus' amongst geologists is nonsense; Dewhirst notes that most geologists (who study earth's 4.5 billion year history of climate change) disagree with the IPCC view on climate. "We fully support the Society’s involvement in the climate change debate but believe that the apparent failures of AGW theory noted herein, calls for a re-think. Climate is and always will change, but the evidence that this is due primarily to CO2, is not forthcoming. If the strong natural forcings that are so well described in the GSL papers have more impact than CO2, then we should be spending more of our limited resources on finding ways to adapt to negative climate change."
