Science Update: Climate Scientists Overtly Lying?
Inside Climate News: Many Scientists Now Say Global Warming Could Stop Relatively Quickly After Emissions Go to Zero
MIT Technology Review: The pandemic taught us how not to deal with climate change
Environmental Research Letters, a peer-reviewed journal: Maximum warming occurs about one decade after a carbon dioxide emission
Excerpt below is from page 30 of Clinical Psychology Forum, a peer-reviewed journal, published September 2019 and titled, “Going halfway: Climate reports ignore the full evidence, and therapists ignore grief recovery:”
Convincing the masses that something can be done to slow or reverse abrupt, irreversible climate change encourages the masses to forgo consumption of fossil fuels. ‘Keep it in the ground’ is a rallying cry for activists, but admitting to the majority of the population that the situation is irreversible, doubtless would discourage people from leaving the fossil fuels untouched and ‘in the ground’. This is one means by which the calories unconsumed by the ignorant masses are left to the informed, presumably wealthy individuals.
Scientists, like other people, sometimes lie. Foremost among the reasons is retention of privilege. Like other people, scientists want to be publicly acclaimed, a desire that sometimes leads to lies. Patterns regarding scientists and their lies were described by Stanford researchers in 2015.

Climate Tipping Points: Fact-Check: is “global dimming” shielding us from catastrophe? This paper ignores dozens of self-reinforcing feedback loops (some of which are described here) and also peer-reviewed papers on the topic of the aerosol masking effect by Levy et al. (18 January 2013), Rosenfeld et al. (8 February 2019), and Chakraborty and Lee (18 July 2019). These papers, combined with interviews associated with the paper by Rosenfeld et al. were pointed out in the following analysis: The McPherson Paradox, Very Briefly (for complete evidence, follow hyperlinks to articles, peer-reviewed and otherwise). James Hansen indicated via video that “the aerosols only stay up there five days … they’re going to fall out and then we get the full warming.”
There is quite a difference between five days and a ten years. Some climate “scientists” obviously are more interested in obfuscation than evidence.

Indeed, they have returned far less money than it cost to create and distribute them. I list them at the bottom of posts in this space in support of my artistically inclined partner, who created them.
