About The Author

Andrew Johnson grew up in Yorkshire, England and graduated from Lancaster University in 1986 with a degree in Computer Science and Physics. He spent most of the next 20 years working in Software Engineering and Software Development and travelled to several different countries. He has also worked full and part time in lecturing and tutoring (in Adult Education). Now he works for the Open University (part time) tutoring students, whilst occasionally working freelance on various small software development projects. In 2006, he set up the website www.checktheevidence.com as a repository of information he had been studying. Andrew is married and has two children.

Introduction

"You are never dedicated to do something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They know it’s going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kind of dogmas or goals, it’s always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt."

Robert T. Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Pt. II, Ch. 13

Why this Book Exists

In about 2003, I realized I was being lied to – about enormously important topics. You can read about this on my website if you so wish, though it may change your view of the validity of what I present here. This book exists to expose people to new information and challenge them to be honest about it. By the end, I hope that I have shattered your world view and you will, like me, see things in a completely different light and begin to understand how multiple parties seem to have conspired to trick us and make us go along with draconian plans. My main aim is to expose some of the lies and tactics on which these plans for humanity are based. Of course, now that I have used language like this, you may have little or no desire to read any further. You may now consider that anything I write, from hereon in, must be biased and unreasonable – the ramblings of a paranoid delusional crank/conspiracy theorist… That’s fine by me – it’s your loss, not mine. I know things that you don’t. Goodbye …

Still reading? Good – I thank you for your kind attention! The evidence shown in this book affects our immediate and long-term future in extremely powerful ways – yet most people are unaware of it. Or, if they are aware of the evidence, they want to ignore it. I would argue that the ignorance of this evidence has been carefully engineered – using all manner of psychological tactics and perception management techniques (which we will also discuss).

Have You Heard …?

I think it is probably fair to say that most of the people that need to read this book probably won’t ever hear about it. If they did hear about it, I don’t think it is very likely they would read it. I hope that I am wrong about my opening statements, but only if I am right about the conclusions I draw at the end of this book.

The weather is something which affects all of us, every day of our lives. It dictates our long and short-term plans. In the UK, the weather is the default topic of conversation for strangers and friends alike. Though it has obvious and far reaching importance, most people don’t know very much about the weather. These days, they don’t take time to observe it and probably spend more time looking at a screen than they do looking at the sky. They don’t really know why the weather seems to be changing. They are told by mainstream sources that anthropogenic (human) activity is having a negative effect on the weather. Well, when I say told, I really mean that the idea is rammed down their throats at almost every opportunity and if they disagree with what they are being force-fed they must be mad – or stupid.

I can be fairly confident in saying that this book collects together, for the first time anywhere, a range of diverse data which proves that the whole issue of climate change is more complicated and challenging than almost all researchers are willing to consider, examine, or entertain. For example, this book contains astronomical data which most climatologists will not discuss in full. Similarly, the book contains climate and weather data that astronomers will not discuss. The book contains some data that neither astronomers nor climatologists will discuss. It contains some data that no scientists will appropriately discuss.

Certain parts of the evidence in this book are never accurately or appropriately discussed by mainstream academic or media outlets. However, there are also important parts of this book that are never discussed by those challenging the mainstream views either. That is, significant parts of the evidence in this book is rarely discussed or even mentioned on popular alternative knowledge or conspiracy type websites.

If you are a regular web-surfer you can use the evidence I bring forth in this book to further your own research. Others will likely find many reasons why you should just ignore what I have written. There are hundreds or thousands of websites devoted to pointing out errors in thinking of the so-called errant ways of global warming sceptics and climate change deniers (whatever that means).

So, if you are a sincere and honest person, you might want to actually check that what I present to you is true. I must state that I am neither a climatologist nor a meteorologist. I do have a degree in Computer Science and Physics and I do work (part time) for a university, though this book has absolutely no connection to the work I do for that university.

My formal education included a study of physics and chemistry and some aspects of weather and climate, when I studied O Level Geography. (For example, I know what an Occlusion is). Additionally, I have studied Astronomy for quite a number of years on a casual basis. In any case, some of the aerial features here documented are so blatantly anomalous (primarily due to their geometry) that I would strongly argue that only basic observation skills are needed to see that something real and disturbing (but not officially acknowledged) is occurring.

I have never had any scientific peer-reviewed papers published in any scientific journals – but some of my work has been read and reviewed by one or more scientists. So, if you want to rely on author credentials alone in relation to what is, after all, a hugely important issue, you can conclude now that I can’t possibly have anything relevant to say, can I? So, there’s no point in you reading much further …

Wait a minute – may I ask you …. Do you need a meteorologist to tell you when it is raining? That is, do you still have basic powers of observation and reasoning that allow you to evaluate what is happening in the world, without needing an expert to confirm or refute your own conclusions …? Do you need permission from an academic, an expert or someone in authority to know whether something is true or not? Of course, only you can answer these questions yourself. I answered these questions for myself long ago.

Corrections and Augmentations? Yes, Please!

I take the stance of a witness being cross-examined in a court case, and so I say to you dear reader, I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me web! Hence, when you have read through the whole book and checked all the references, if you find any errors or inappropriate references, please contact me and tell me what they are, so that I may correct and improve this work – so that we all benefit. I have attempted to reference this material to a good standard, but of course, it is not being peer reviewed for publication in a recognized scientific journal or even a magazine. I doubt any journal would publish the evidence I include and describe here – it would be too damaging to established interests. Indeed, if there is a knowledgeable reader, who has had papers published in climatology or meteorology – or any related – types of journals, I challenge them to take some of what I have presented here, work it up into a paper suitable for submission, and attempt to get it published. Please write to me and tell me of your experience.

When I was writing the book, one suggestion I had was to include a blank page at the end of each chapter for readers to make notes on. I have included a space for some notes at the start of each chapter.

Beliefs and Knowledge

This book is primarily about knowledge, not belief. It is not about believing whether climate change has one particular cause or another, it is about showing you evidence that you probably have never heard about, and it should lead you to a conclusion. If you believe and have faith in government think-tanks and academic institutions and you believe they can act without any self-interest and you believe they always tell the whole truth – and you believe they always admit when they are wrong and then correct their errors, again, there is little point in you reading any further. Going through this book, you will probably find the earlier sections less challenging than the later ones, though in the next chapter, you may find yourself a bit out of your depth and feeling uncomfortable with what I am saying. You have been warned.

Global Warming – Cause and Effect

I am certainly not convinced that the average global temperatures are indeed rising and I am also not convinced, even if average temperatures are rising, that this will lead us to catastrophe. I am convinced that those that claim the cause of any warming is solely the result of human activity are not being honest. Hence, they are trying to solve an imaginary problem. They claim to know the cause of disputed data/observations about global temperatures and therefore they claim to be able to develop solutions. The truth is, they don’t know what’s happening and they don’t really know whether they are dealing with a cause or an effect. An example here is the observation that due to the timing or time period associated with most of the data, a cogent argument can be made that CO2 increase in the atmosphere is an effect of global warming, not a cause. Many sites which promote the Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) theory, such as Real Climate Science ¹ claim they have explained this, whilst others say the CO2 increase follows warming.²

What you will see towards the end of this book is evidence of other climate or weather effects that all the main researchers and scientists are ignoring. Decades-long arguments over the temporal relationship between changes in global temperature and CO2 levels cause the ignorance of much more easily observable effects. Hence, scientists who are pro or con AGW theory will not solve the problem they are setting out to solve – because both pro and con groups are wrong! Any action taken, based on a false conclusion, could make the problem worse – and one has to wonder, is that what someone else wants.

Climate Change? Or is it Global Warming?

All great truths begin as blasphemies.

George Bernard Shaw

Global Warming became Climate Change …

As some people have observed, we were originally presented with the idea of Global Warming but many legitimate questions were raised about this description, and so at some point the language morphed into Climate Change. This is actually much harder to be critical of – because it is such a vague description. Everyone should know that the climate is always changing. The underlying problem is identifying the reason for this. Similarly, if weather forecasters are reluctant to try and forecast weather more than about three  days into the future, how is it possible to determine what changes will happen years from now? Is it true then that longer term models can be more accurate than short term ones? Or is it true that, as with financial investments, Past performance is no guarantee of future performance?

Distinguishing between Environmental Damage and Climate Change

Before anyone accuses me of not being worried about my own environmental footprint I will state that I myself, like so many others, attempt to use all resources responsibly and not waste anything – even down to making sure that paper is printed/written on both sides. I use sites like freecycle and ebay to ensure that manufactured goods stay out of landfill sites for as long as possible.

There is no doubt that human activity is damaging the environment. For example, industrial pollution and industrialized fishing and agricultural practices have, it is clear, destroyed habitats and caused the extinction of a large number of species of flora and fauna – in various ways, and for various reasons. With the real damage caused on a daily (and large-scale) basis, it is easy to manipulate people’s emotions, fears and environmental conscience when presenting these matters (without proper distinction between Environmental Damage and Climate Change).

Most people have at least some awareness of the effects of their lifestyle on the environment, though these effects are often hidden – except when large numbers of people are affected by such things as dumping of industrial waste, depletion of fish stocks or intensive farming practices etc. Is it any wonder that some websites promote the AGW myth out of love³?

A distinction must also be made between local and global climate changes. For example, the Urban Heat Island Effect⁴ is well understood and the data is clear. The same conclusions (by definition), cannot apply on a global scale, however because an island is not the same as a globe!

Nowadays, when some people suggest that changes in the weather are not caused by industrial pollution, it is assumed they are somehow suggesting we should not worry about wholesale pollution of the environment. Or it is tacitly assumed that those suggesting other causes for changes in climate are saying that humanity should not worry about the effects of their activities on the environment. Therefore, because of the increase in visibility of environmental organizations and issues in the last 30-40 years, it becomes easier to marginalize the legitimate scientific questions raised by people who remain unconvinced that carbon dioxide emissions (specifically) from human industrial activity have had any provable effect on global climate in the last 150 years.

There is little doubt that CO2 output has increased due to industrialization but how that increase is measured, relative to all other sources of this simple gas, is a far more difficult question (which too many people have claimed to know the answer to). Later in this book, you will read about much more data which needs to be properly studied. This data proves the climate change issue is much more complicated than is generally spoken of – and extra CO2 from industrialisation is probably the least significant issue.

I won’t go through all the enormous problems with the AGW CO2 theory – others, such as Dr Tim Ball and Dr Don Easterbrook, have done a more than adequate job of this – and that is not the primary focus of this book. However, I do cover some of the more salient points which show that the sooner this theory is filed in the Not-enough-supporting-evidence category, the better it
