FACTS BEING SUPPRESSED

If readers scroll down to January 11th, I referred to a piece in the Canada Free Press dealing with the philosophy and religious aspects of the GW debate. This was the first article of a series and the second article is now available.
Here Dr. Ball and Tom Harris look at how the facts are being suppressed, while false propaganda is used to misinform the general public and the politicians.

A good example of this was on the BBC main news last night when an item was shown concerning sea-level rising on the remote Pacific Atoll of Tuvalu. In an interview a politician from Tuvalu said that the sea-level rise was due to emissions from the West and so we must provide all the money needed to save his island. This view was never challenged. Indeed it was accepted without question as a fact.

Many scientists believe that these changes are not driven by human gas emissions, but are a natural phenomenon beyond human control. Clearly, for third world politicians this second explanation is not what they want. Much better to be able to blame the West and then make out a bill for compensation.
