Johannes Krüger:
THE CLIMATE MYTH – A showdown with the CO2 panic of our time (KLIMAMYTEN – Et opgør med tidens CO2-panik)
People’s Press 2016

Read by Povl H. Riis-Knudsen

This little book by Professor Johannes Krüger is no light reading. It is difficult scientific material that has been explained to the average person, because when it comes to the climate, it concerns us all and not just a narrow circle of scientists. Needless to say, Johannes Krüger has retired. This book would be an absolute career stopper.

We won’t go into detail on the subject here, but simply refer to the article Climate and Globalization elsewhere on this blog. Kruger’s book is of course far more in-depth than any article can be. In just 229 pages, he explains how climate is a product of a wide range of cosmic factors over which humans have no control. These factors include ocean currents, the migration of the continents, solar activity, changes in the Earth’s orbit around the sun, the tilt and rotation of the Earth’s axis, cosmic radiation and, not least, our solar system’s journey through the Milky Way. These are such powerful forces that the mere idea of humans having any significant influence on the climate is laughable. In this context, climate change is also considered historically. It’s not as if the climate has ever been stable. It has fluctuated between freezing and warming periods, between ice ages and interglacial periods. We are in an interglacial period on the way to an ice age, and the small temperature fluctuations we have experienced since 1970 are quite modest and completely within the normal range. Moreover, the average temperature has not risen over the past 15 years, even though the atmospheric content of C0₂ has increased significantly and journalists are constantly shouting about heat records. These correlations are proven with countless graphs, tables, charts and illustrations that leave no sane person in doubt about how things are connected – but there are plenty of weak-minded fools too.

In the long chapter “Fact or Fiction in the Climate Debate (Fup eller fakta i klimadebatten)”, Professor Krüger examines all the various catastrophic claims made by climate alarmists: temperature rise, melting glaciers, sea ice and the Greenland ice sheet, sea level rise, disappearing atolls, drought, storms, floods, etc. There is hardly a calamity that the press does not attribute to man-made global warming. One by one, these myths are punctured by cold facts, supported by measurements, calculations and observations. The various sources of our knowledge about the climate of the past are reviewed, and the different measurement methods are assessed. Not unexpectedly, the information provided by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is subject to reasonable doubt. Uncertain measurements are used, and they are tainted with incorrect interpretations due to unscientific methods. They do not investigate the causes of climate change, having assumed without scientific basis that it is the amount of CO₂ that causes it, so that the postulated relationship between temperature and CO2 content in the atmosphere forms the basis of models for calculating future climate. Other explanations and theories are dismissed out of hand, and scientists who hold a different view are excluded from good company and find it difficult to obtain research funding. This sounds very familiar from other sciences.

The most frightening thing about this publication, however, is that it is not noticed and not discussed. On the occasion of the book, Professor Krüger also gave a longer interview to Jyllands-Posten. Readers cannot be unaware of this contribution to the climate debate. Nor has any attempt been made to rewrite it, which would also be a rather impossible task. It is as if this book did not exist, and the climate freaks continue their campaigns unchanged, supported by the ignorant mob of under-educated journalists. If a single politician asks even the slightest question about the climate myths, a unanimous chorus of idiots descends on him like in the days of the witch trials. In scientific matters, discussion and disagreement are natural, but here an errant theory has been elevated to dogma in advance. It has become a religious question, as Krüger also puts it. Leading the way is literary historian Connie Hedegaard, who has no concept of climate and would hardly be able to read Krüger’s book. But in religious matters, expertise is not necessary, in fact, it is downright undesirable. Under normal circumstances this might be a minor detail, but the climate myth forms the basis for the economic plundering of the population and for decisions of far-reaching significance for our environment and our economy. Therefore, this distortion of science is everyone’s business!

In a few thousand years, when the ice masses have spread and wiped out everything in their path, we can count on the politicians of that time still sitting in Christiansborg passing laws against global warming when the ice already covers all of North Zealand. Unless, of course, the population has gotten their act together to get rid of these pathetic creatures by then.
