30-Years Ago James Hansen Started Government-Made Global Warming

“One must say clearly that we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy.” – UN Climate Expert Ottmar Edenhofer

Thirty years ago (the day before yesterday) James Hansen and Sen. Tim Wirth sabotaged the air conditioner in the room where Hansen would be providing testimony on ‘Global Warming.’ The day of (thirty years ago yesterday) was of the hottest days in one of the hottest summers on record, and the stage was set to politicize the weather.

It was a deliberate act of political theatre on the highest order.

“…we called the Weather Bureau and found out what historically was the hottest day of the summer. Well, it was June 6 or June 9 or whatever it was, so we scheduled the hearing that day, and bingo: It was the hottest day on record in Washington, or close to it. It was stiflingly hot that summer. [At] the same time you had this drought all across the country, so the linkage between the Hansen hearing and the drought became very intense.

… What we did it was went in the night before and opened all the windows, I will admit, right? So that the air conditioning wasn’t working inside the room and so when the, when the hearing occurred there was not only bliss, which is television cameras in double figures, but it was really hot. …  So Hansen’s giving this testimony, you’ve got these television cameras back there heating up the room, and the air conditioning in the room didn’t appear to work. So it was sort of a perfect collection of events that happened that day, with the wonderful Jim Hansen, who was wiping his brow at the witness table and giving this remarkable testimony. (link)

It was a deception. An act of fraud that has since redirected billions if not trillions (globally) away from useful purposes to fund unproductive activity whose sole purpose was to redistribute wealth. A program whose prognosticators were wrong then and wrong now because being right has nothing to do with it.

Keep people questioning. Keep them on the edge of an apocalyptic fear. Use the government to take their money.
