The Washington Post recently broke mainstream media ranks and launched a spiteful attack on last year’s Nobel Physics prize winner, Dr. John Clauser. Recently Dr. Clauser has come out strongly against the notion that there is a climate emergency, but his remarks have been ignored by journalists following a ‘settled’ narrative. Unfortunately, the WaPo stunt turned into a spectacular own goal since it called on the services of the science influencer Michael Mann to attack Clauser’s view as “pure garbage”. This has led the CO2 Coalition, a body that lobbies for better understanding of the role of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and where Dr. Clauser is now a Director, to note: “Bottom line: a fake Nobel Laureate (Mann) criticised a real one (Clauser).”
This of course is a refence to Mann’s notorious attempt to claim a Nobel after the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was jointly awarded the Peace Prize in 2007, along with Al Gore. Mann subsequently took to the U.S. libel courts when uncharitable remarks were made about his 1,000-year ‘hockey stick’ temperature graph, a scandal at the centre of Climategate that showed how the Medieval Warming Period and subsequent Little Ice Age were abolished. In court filings, he complained about an “attempt to discredit consistently validated scientific research through the professional and personal defamation of a Nobel Prize recipient”. Mann had contributed to IPCC work and was one of numerous other writers who initially claimed Laureate status from the Peace Prize. When it all got rather silly, the IPCC sent around a memo, in effect telling them to stop it.
The WaPo story reported that Clauser’s recent remarks have alarmed top climate scientists who say he is using his stature to mislead the public about what it calls a “planetary emergency”. It is true that Clauser’s recent entry into the climate debate has sent shock waves through politicised scientific circles, since a scientist of his stature is hard to ignore. Mainstream media have been largely silent, but his views have spread like wildfire on social media. And he’s been on the road of late telling an audience in Baltimore that he has great news. “There is no climate crisis! … Much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is not in peril.”
Dr. Clauser recently signed the World Climate Declaration (WCD) that states there is no climate emergency. The WCD has now been signed by many hundreds of distinguished scientists, including another Nobel Physics winner. Earlier this year, Clauser said the popular climate narrative “reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people”. For its part, WaPo refers to Clauser’s “remarkable shift” since winning the Nobel, and states that the “vast majority” of climate scientists agree that global warming will have “catastrophic consequences” for current and future generations.
They’ll be informing us soon that 97% of scientists believe we are going to climate hell in a handcart. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Dr. Clauser recently told a group of young South Korean scientists that they must follow the scientific method based on good observations and experiments. Good observations always overrule purely speculative theory. Referring to climate science, he noted the world is “literally awash, saturated, with pseudoscience, with bad science, with scientific misinformation and disinformation”. At a time when the United Nations-head Antonio Guterres talks complete drivel about ‘global boiling’, Clauser sees the IPCC as “one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation”.
There is one item of interest in the WaPo story when Clauser found himself in the Oval Office for a private meeting with President Biden. Having listening to Clauser’s views, Biden dismissed them as “Right-wing science”. A stupid remark, of course, but hardly less dumb than Mann’s recent comments that a Republican takeover of Congress would be a “planetary disaster”. In Mann’s world, the Republican party needs to be destroyed, since its members “never let facts get in the way of a narrative that offers red meat to their racist, antisemitic base”.
Michael Mann, a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, is rarely out of the headlines, usually, of course, by choice. Along with activist journalists and other politicised scientists, he was instrumental in recently securing the retraction of the Alimonti et al. paper in Springer Nature. This was written by four Italian scientists who reviewed past weather events and trends and concluded that there is no climate emergency. At the time, Mann sneered at his fellow academics, dismissing them as “nuclear physics dudes in Italy” from “totally unrelated fields”.
The science writer Roger Pielke Jnr. is not much impressed with some of the ‘science communication’ developments used to promote the so-called climate crisis and the collectivist Net Zero societal reset. “An overtly partisan approach to public engagement may be pathological, compromising public trust and confidence, and making the practice of science itself much more political. … The consequences include an overall loss of trust in institutions of science, which is replaced with determination of trust based on identity,” he concludes.

Just in case they say they didn’t know – I mean it’s only their job after all – get out of papers such as this being sent to them –

Details how and why the genetically modified RNA is likely to cause –
Cancer (because to “work” it is deliberately designed to avoid destruction by the immune system.
CV problems (which even wilfully blind medics are beginning to realise – although not it woud seem the British Heart Fouundation).
And last but not least a whole plethora of other auto immune “diseases” by impairment of DNA reair mechanisms and inclusion of mRNA imto DNA, suppression of interferons – in short a whole range of unpredictable complex immune effects – unpredictable because the immune system is poorly understood, and even worse, misunderstood.
Never forget, Nature Bats Last.
If there be grounds to prosecute the enablers (and the myriad pushers, that includes you the MSM) may I suggest they be charged with Malfeasance in a Public Office. This is a Common Law offence, triable only on Indictment – and, best of all, it can carry a Life Sentence.
I really hope it focuses on the kids they murdered with the vaxx. That’s the way in to this story, to pull at the heart strings of the wives/mothers who are now the guardians of right/wrong thought in the west. They knowingly murdered kids, that’s got to be the sales pitch, once that door is ajar big pharma can be sued out of existence. Next the MSM can be pursued for pushing it down ppls throats.
Nothing is beginning. It’s the MPs that should be on trial first.
I wrote a long letter to the MHRA a year ago posing very specific questions.
got a three page letter back stating how ‘safe and effective’ these vaccines are.
Nice piece of evidence .
I hope there is no attempt to limit the scope to the AZ vaccine.
It’s a valid concern, a scapegoat would be convenient.
I ascribe the death of a friend of mine to the AZ muck.
Don’t be fooled. It’s impossible for this group of MP’s, and all others for that matter, to not be aware that the ‘vaccine’ was likely to be unsafe. Ditto (in bold capitals) for the MHRA. Impossible for all the same reasons that we knew it was likely to be unsafe. Cognitive dissonance may explain silence for some of the severely mentally challenged, but not for most. They continue to play us like a fiddle.
As the article states, yet another Dame knew the stabs were not safe nor effective and that the MHRA an ‘enabler’ not a watchdog…funded as they are by Big Pharma, follow that money to find ‘The $cience’
Dame June Raine, the Chief Executive of the MHRA, who announced she would be stepping down last week said in 2022 the agency was transitioning from being a “watchdog” to an “enabler”, a phrase which MPs said warranted its own investigation
One string presumably.
I hadn’t realised that our latest ‘Dame of Disaster’ J Raine was doing a runner as well. I think she saw the route J Van Tam took (Moderna flunky) and decided she wanted a piece of that. All of the £££ and none of this public scrutiny malarkey (that’s for little people).
However I have a feeling this might not go as smoothly as she hopes. Her comments about “being an enabler not regulator” will not age well as the facts start to come out. Possibly, or probably, a future Vennells as the Government cast around looking for a scapegoat.
Yes another Dame who no doubt benefitted from the Rona fascist scamdemic fraud.
Don’t remember hearing this Dame piping up and ringing alarm bells during the Fascism. She was pretty quiet and probably rather happy with her growing bank account.
On the contrary, I suggest that it’s fairly unlikely this side of the next General Election here, and the Autumn US Presidential one. After that, who knows?
Why didn’t they speak up at the time? Even the “covid sceptical” MPs were cheerleaders for the “vaccines” (though a tiny few did vote against vaxx passports and mandates).
Prof Bhakdi, Dr Yeadon and others predicted the effects the jabs would have. They were silenced, cancelled and prosecuted.
Dr Sam Smith, Dr Aseem Malhotra and many others have been highlighting the devastating impact they’re having for two+ years now ….. and they too have been silenced, cancelled and ignored.
Blaming the MHRA isn’t going to cut it. The Government inflicted this catastrophe on us, using their bought-and-paid-for “Scientists” to justify it.
Yesterday’s open letter from the Guernsey heart consultant was rather encouraging. This whole sh*tshow needs to be blown wide open.
I’d be less angry if it wasn’t mandated and people had been free to choose.
Some may argue that there was no mandate, but the patronising, the name-calling, the open discussion of no-jab-no-job, the imposition of the vaxxports, while denying it was going to happen all amount to the same thing.
An acquaintance of mine even stated that the unjabbed didn’t deserve medical care and they’d brought it in themselves. I immediately lost all respect for that person.
I read that letter with real sadness for the poor souls on Guernsey (where I have family) and also enthusiasm that another dedicated and caring doctor was speaking out. Knowing how the regulator works, based on its past history and recent announcement that it was answerable to parliament, when it should be all about patient safety and regulating the profession, left me wondering how they would react. Suspension and erasure, or is this simply too big now to ignore? Rather like the Diamond Princess was a perfect ‘test’ group, so are the population of this lovely island, unfortunately.
So Raine is stepping down on a higher pension before the enabled enabling and will probably pop up in the Blair institute and other advisory roles with pharma companies within a year or two.
You’re one of those Conspiracy Theorists the BBC warns me about.
Dangerous those far right (so far) types
Who authorised the changed role of this regulator and who thought of it. I have little doubt the Quango itself and a dozy Minister failed to react when it was done.
amazing how many honours there are among the Quangocracy. Amazing how often they seemlessly glide from one position to another, the better to build their address books. Or rather, OUR address books which they steal and exploit.
Just scrolled through the online Telegraph headlines. No sign of this article. Editor Evans is a card, isn’t he.
‘Dame’ is now a term of contempt.
The Telegraph made this report into a modified limited hangout – small headline, down page, soon removed. It’s a blockbuster scandal if ever there was one. The MHRA was, and probably still is, a murder machine, knowingly inflicting quack medicine poisons on the entire population.
The MHRA have made it clear where their priorities lie – enabling Big Pharma to bring dangerous and untested medications to the market place. Regulating them? Nope. Not their job any more. They need to be closed down and 100% taxpayer funded, to stop the unholy influence of evil bastards like Gates
100% taxpayer funded won’t make any difference because the Chunts in charge of the taxpayer funds are all WEFfers. So we end up paying wholly for our own poisons.
It might not be a good idea making such business suggestions
So this will be Hallett Mark in ? In other words it will cost a disgraceful amount of taxpayers money but come to the same conclusions – safe and effective – only using different words.
I see.
Oh really? The MPs are complaining that the regulator didn’t warn them. Well, WE warned them! And they ignored every single warning. They were spineless at best, and corrupt, and now they’re looking for a scapegoat. These people should be in prison for their sheer dereliction of duty that led to a massive loss of life.
Andrew Bridgen MP is due an apology.
He has sufficient integrity to put his neck on the line and he’s been treated abysmally.
The deliberate emptying of the debating chamber before he spoke is a damning indictment of the moral fibre of our so-called leaders.
Promising. But will this investigation focus in on the MRHA being 80% funded by the pharmaceutical industry? Will an investigation also reveal how much Raine, Vallance, Johnson, Sunak, Van Tam, Whitty ad infinitum have trousered from the pharmaceutical industry? Will they all end up in prison for malfeasance and corporate manslaughter? I doubt it.
In 2019 the Australian Journal of Virology published a report saying the safety and effectiveness of mRNA ‘vaccines’ are at least a decade away. 2020 it’s being mandated for all of us
Haven’t the Tories splashed out oodles of tax payers money in a partnership with Moderna to build a large MRNA production unit in Oxford.?
Has anyone got any view of what the further fallout of this all will be?
So far I think there is a growing distrust in vaccines, the medical profession and the political class.
The truth will out and become mainstream.
So what will happen? I know of several people who have taken the mRNA products and feel really cheated by the system. They are angry (in a polite way).
So what is likely going to happen?
More to the point, what are those people who feel cheated by the system going to do?
This is not a welcome development. Why?
MPs are the reason the MHRA is so corrupt and has been for decades. They know how powerful and politically influential the drug industry is as a lobby so they keep quiet and do nothing.
Any inquiry they launch will not address the real problems which they will continue to bury.
Look at what they did to Andrew Bridgen – the Conservative Party kicked him out for telling the truth about the kill shots.
And that disgusting Penny Mordaunt called him a conspiracy theorist. And she is Leader of the House of Commons!!!
But just for balance, Starmer in a recent TV interview which had nothing to do with healthcare deliberately chose to be pictured standing in from of a Novartis building with the Novartis name prominent and worse still right next to one of those free-standing upright banners with the Novartis name also prominent on it.
We are cheated by MPs. As a class they steal our votes with false promises and fail to do anything about the issues that have created broken Britain – a phrase Starmer uses but we can guarantee he will do nothing about.
If you want a test of who to vote for or whether to vote at all – this issue will be one to watch.
Look out for MPs who duck the real issues.
They will all make noises about the MHRA, say nothing about the corruption in the drug industry and produce conclusions and proposals which will make zero difference.
Ask yourself this question – when we know we can treat many diseases with nutrition and natural products – how come doctors when training do not study nutrition and its use in treating disease?
They learn and know nothing about it beyond the five-a-day highly limited NHS sloganising.
And another question – how come most doctors – the vast majority – learn nothing about vaccines when training? But they still promote them as so important and ‘save millions of lives’ when they are not and do not.
At long last Steve Brine was made fully aware of these issues from very early on in the pandemic once the facts started to emerge. I know because as a doctor and one of his constituents I informed him of the problems and his moral obligation to take swift appropriate action!
About bloody time just hope it’s not another whitewash.
Of course it will be – that is inevitable – for why read this comment.
What kept them? About time.
