It is beyond doubt that the concept of anthropogenic CO2 emissions controlling climate
change has become a first-order political issue shortly after the Swedish meteorologist Ben
Santher had formulated it in 1995. IPCC was founded in 1998 on its base and ever since has
devoted its efforts to prove that indeed anthropogenic CO2 emissions are responsible for
Global Warming, rather than impartially assessing whether this is actually the case. Now the
AGW concept forms the basic creed of IPCC and of such organizations as the World Wildlife
Fund and Greenpeace, has been elevated by IPCC consensus to the status of an axiom, and
is now defended with an almost religious fervor. IPCC is a tightly knit network, which selective
quotes peer-reviewed literature and each other, advances tendentious modeling and in some
instances is even accused of data manipulations. IPCC activities were accompanied an
immense Public Relations effort and related press coverage, proclaiming imminent rapid
Global Warming accompanied by all kinds of disastrous consequences. Critical comments
were discouraged with catch phrases like “The Science is settled”, blindly repeated by
politicians.
