John Arnold, a former Enron exec who made billions selling natural gas and oil, has become one of the principal financiers of the Gang Green, and his labyrinth of money laundering to radical environmental groups aka the Gang Green, has the global warming kooks flush with cash.

This article was originally from The Blaze and behind a paywall, but the good folks at Conservative Angle kindly reproduced it for us.

I suspected there was some new billionaire money; the climate alarmists have been very active on the Facebook groups to which I belong. Lots of scientists. I've been in a long one with an astrophysicist from NASA, or formerly from NASA, who worked on the Hubble telescope project and who is now devoting himself to arguing with random strangers on Facebook over Global Warming. I accused him of being a troll (he has nothing on his home page but the climate groups) and I believe he is one; I suspect someone is paying this guy to make an "authoritative" case, yet he uses many of the same shibboleths that the Gang Green always uses (like "the science is settled") There are others too and I am pretty sure there is a lot of money floating around right now for people with a science background to defend the climate kookery.

They always accuse us of being backed by big oil and deny they are much better funded by government, by NGO's, and by wealthy billionaires like this guy. But the fact remains they have vast sums of wealth at their disposal and our side does not. We just have a few honest scientists, mostly older ones who no longer worry about their careers.

Climate alarmism has always been a medicine show, a con, a Harold Hill type exercise "we got trouble - right here, with a capital T and it rhymes with C and that stands for climate". It's always "act now before it's too late" the classic sign of an advertising campaign and not a scientific inquiry.

I knew when they announced the creation of the IPCC that would be nothing but a con job, a long con. The U.N. wants to be a world government, and it wants to rid the world of free markets. OF COURSE they were going to find that our emissions are going to kill us! They are Harold Hill here.

And when they fleece us of all our money like Hill does to the townsfolk in Music Man they will "skip town" metaphorically; the issue will be discussed less and less and eventually trickle off. But only after they get what they want which is quite ambitious. They want the world (I picture in my mind Dr. Evil from Austin Powers bouncing the giant rubber globe on his son's head as in the second movie.)

This has been the planned route to power all along. They first tried Global Cooling but that petered out as the planet began a warming trend, so they switched to Warming without missing a beat (and it was the same people promoting both.) Now they have way too much invested in Global Warming and they are praying (to themselves I imagine, or to Gaia) that the planet warms for another thirty years so they can trick the public. If it cools they are going to have a hard time explaining that. Warming stopped during the last few decades as the sun has been quiet, but it's becoming more active and now it might warm a bit more and they will say "see!" and begin pushing this again.

There is every reason to believe most if not all of the warming we see (a very modest warming) is natural variability. Yes, humans do impact climate, with land use changes, for instance. And the decline in cloud cover explains much of the current warming as well. But it's a warming that really does not require explaining. One friggin degree! And we do not even know if we have that right as they keep eliminating temperature stations (and those suck anyway, see www.surfacestations.org) and just averaging them. Satellites are better but still only see the same places at the same time every day. We have no "planetary temperature" except estimated (even the satellites are dependent on models) and that is subject to the fudge factor and if not is still subjective.

At any rate powerful forces want this, very powerful, very wealthy, very internationalist forces. We are up against the full might of governments and silicon valley and NGO's and even oil companies (yes, they donate to environmentalists over climate change). This is truly a David and Goliath battle.

I'm glad somebody is outing this creep.
