A RE S TUDENTS L EARNING
ABOUT THE C ORRUPTION
OF C LIMATE S CIENCE ?
May 20 t h , 2010
Tim Ball
The mainstream media actively promoted global warming, then effectively ig-
nored evidence of C O RRU P T C L I M A TE S C I EN C E , and essentially ignored the
whitewash investigations of the activities of members of the Climatic Research
Unit ( CRU ) and members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
( IPCC ).
It appears little has changed in the schools. Some teachers are giving both
sides of the story, but they appear to be the exception. But why would a
teacher change or be willing to present both sides ?
Governments continue to push the arguments based on the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) research. They were C O M P L I C I T in the W HI TE-
W A S H investigations, and need the tax and control Cap and Trade provides.
Most of the change in the schools comes from students who do some investiga-
tion, often triggered by YouTube videos.
In the United Kingdom court case, the student C OM P L A I N ED to his father about
having to watch Gore ’s movie M O R E THA N O N C E .
Each week, I receive three or four requests from students doing projects on
global warming. Some come from other countries, but most are from the United
States . Usually they seek answers to written questions. I give answers, but
also attach a list of other sources so they can dig deeper.
Most of the time they are researching the S K EP TI C S ’ V I EW , and I am the chosen
spokesperson. Interestingly, very few requests are from university or science
students. Most are in social studies but a surprising number are doing Eng-
lish essays. One or two tell me their research supports the S K EP TI C S ’ V I EW ,
but most clearly accept the government global warming position, and appear to
be trying to understand why I could have it so wrong. Most have seen Al Gore ’s
movie, but none appear aware of the errors.
A N E XAMPLE
The following is just one example of the type of questions asked with my an-
swers.
The questions are generally typical; however number three is particularly inter-
esting.
It isn’t clear if the student is aware of the complexity of the associated ideas.
My answers are in italics, and cursory but provide my view. I expect the stu-
dent to pursue these ideas with the web sites provided.
DO YOU BEL IEVE THAT GLOBAL WAR MING IS CAU SED BY MANK IND ?
No.
For example, the amount we produc e is less th an the e rror of the es-
ti mate f or thr ee natur al source s, in c luding the oc eans, soils, and ro t-
tin g vegetation.
Every rec ord shows that exac tly th e opposi te h appe ns.
The world has been war mer man y ti mes in the p as t and s urvive d.
Whenever change occur s, the re are win ners and los ers.
For ex ample, mo re plants ani mals and people die of cold th an war m.
C AN GLOBAL WARM ING CRE AT E AN ICE AGE ?
Ice ages are mar ked by gro wth of ice shee ts.
The idea that warming can produc e the m recogn izes th at s o meho w
you must have more snow sur vive th e su mmer mel t.
All the war ming over time, and n o w, is c aused by n atur al f orces,
pri marily the sun.
W EB S ITES
Here are a few web sites that provide many of my views to expand on the above.
The first is for a group I helped organize and contribute articles to occasionally.

P ROV ID ING I N S IGHT INTO G LOBAL W ARM ING
Our goal is to educate the public abo ut climate scie nce , and
through them, bring pre ssure to be ar on gover nment s to en-
gage in public debate s on the scie ntific merits of the hy-
pothesis of human induced glob al warming, and the variou s
policie s th at inte nd to address the issue.
Variat ions in solar act ivity and cosm ic rays correlate to tem-
perature much bet ter than CO 2 . T his may be bec ause an
electro-magnet ically ac tive sun d iver ts co smic r ays from hit -
ting the atmosphere. Cosm ic rays h ave been shown exp eri-
mentally to assist in cloud format ion. Fewer cosmic rays re-
sult in reduced low cloud co ver , which allows more sunl ight
to warm the E arth ’s surface .
The second is a more political/science mix, and here is a list of all the articles I
have done over the last few years.

A R ANGE OF Q UE ST IONS
A few questions follow that give an idea of how some students approach the
topic.
Generally, they accept global warming is due to humans and their concern is
with the impact.
Grade 10
Grade 7
2. What are some steps that can be taken to prevent global warming in
our own homes and communities ?
Grade 11

Huje is a term used to describe Enviro Maniac Activists that routinely concoct FEAR MONGERING, FRAUDU-
LENT LIES, MISCONCEPTIONS, COERCION, THREATS, DECEPTIONS, TERROR, and PARANOID CONSPIRA-
CIES that are DESIGNED to SCAM and DECEIVE the public into believing that families are in some NON–
EXISTENT danger with conventional pest control products. Huje also SCAM and DECEIVE Government Offi-
cials into the NEEDLESS, SENSELESS, and MALICIOUS prohibition of FEDERALLY LEGAL, SCIENTIFICALLY
SAFE, TOTALLY IRREPLACEABLE, and ABSOLUTELY INDISPENSABLE conventional pest control products.

Force Of Nature is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of any trade association or business operating within the Green
Space Industry. Don’t thank us. It’s a public service. And we are glad to do it.
Force Of Nature, and its various incarnations, is the brainchild of William H. Gathercole and his entourage.
Mr. Gathercole is a principal FOUNDER of the Modern Professional Lawn Care Industry in BOTH Ontario and
Quebec. He holds a degree in Horticulture from the UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH, and another pure and applied
science degree from McGILL UNIVERSITY. He has worked in virtually all aspects of the Green Space Indus-
try, including GOLF, PROFESSIONAL LAWN CARE, and CHEMICAL INDUSTRY, and has served in public af-
fairs, workplace safety, and environmental compliance. Mr. Gathercole has supervised, consulted, pro-
grammed, and/or overseen the successful and safe execution of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of pest control
applications in the urban landscape. He has trained, instructed, and consulted with THOUSANDS of turf
managers and technicians. Mr. Gathercole has also been an agricultural agronomist. For many years, Mr.
Gathercole was a contributing columnist for TURF & Recreation Magazine, Canada’s Turf and Grounds Main-
tenance Authority. Mr. Gathercole is now retired from Force Of Nature, although his name continues to ap-
pear as the FOUNDER. Mr. Gathercole is personally credited for crafting the Golf Industry Exception Status,
that endures to this day. He is also the creator of the signs that are now used for posting after application.
His vast knowledge of our long journey with Environmental Issues is UNDENIABLE ― hopefully ! For FIF-
TEEN YEARS, the strategies designed and implemented by Mr. Gathercole and his colleagues guaranteed the
control of Environmental Terror for the entire Modern Green Space Industry across Canada. Mr. Gather-
cole’s involvement in Environmental Issues reached a fevered pitch in the 1990s, when he orchestrated,
with his colleagues, legal action against the Forces of Environmental Evil in the Town of Hudson, Quebec.
Mr. Gathercole is the ONLY TRUE RELIABLE WITNESS of the Hudson Affair.
Mr. Gathercole and his entourage have followed the evolution of ENVIRONMENTAL TERRORISM for over a
quarter century. Through Force Of Nature, Enviro Maniac Activist Huje are identified on the basis of their
statements, activities, affiliations, and whereabouts. Even though each Enviro Maniac Culprit is a misguided
adversary, each still deserves our respect. The use of the terms Maniac, Culprit, Terrorist, or Basterd are
not accusations of any legal wrong doing. Force Of Nature is simply holding Enviro Maniac Activists ac-
countable for conspiring to change public policies that TERRORIZE, HARM, and THREATEN the Green Space
Industry. Their pretentious prohibitionist rants have created LOSS OF REVENUES, BUSINESS FAILURES,
BANKRUPTCY, and UNEMPLOYMENT, inflicting DESPAIR and DESTITUTION for THOUSANDS of hapless vic-
tims throughout the Green Space Industry. The DEPRAVED INDIFFERENCE of Maniac Culprit Terrorist Bas-
terd Huje is viewed as a form of TERROR, HARM, and THREAT against the Green Space Industry.
