In 1969 and 1970 I was an advanced undergrad working towards my BA.  I was serious about the papers I wrote, and felt other students like me would feel the same way. Thus I became a vocal advocate for the publication of student papers.

Another student from an American university came to visit me in the Anthropology Lab in Regina.  His name was Al Gore, and he told me he was a Christian who believed mankind had abused his Christian stewardship over the Earth.  He told me about his summer job releasing weather balloons over the Pacific Ocean and how his professor Dr. Roger Revell had measured a constant increase in our global temperature of 0.03OC per century.

I showed him the work I had done in collaboration with Hays, Imbrie, and Shakleton.  He took a look at the plot and made a broad stroke with his finger at our current position, straight up off the page, saying that is where the curve would end.

I asked him why he thought the spike would not come down like all the previous spikes did.  He replied it was mankind's polluting ways that would keep the spike rising without end. Then he told me I was a good writer which was why he came to see me.

He told me he had ties with the United Nations and that he was forming a group of student writers interested in climate matters, and that if I became one of his "Lead Authors" he could guarantee my work would always recieve a positive peer review.

I agreed to submit my work to his group for publication,- as long as I did not have to bias my work to suit any point of view.

Looking back on this encounter, I see the roots of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and more.  I see how this group flooded the subject of climate change with peer reviewed papers, effectively highjacking the peer review system:  The only papers disagreeing with this group they would not challenge,- would be poorly researched papers that could easily be discredited by anyone reading them.

As a group, they vote on what is to be regarded as scientifically accurate.  Any paper supporting a voted for notion gets a positive peer review, while any paper questioning a voted for notion fails to get the needed peer review and does not get published.

Scientists from many nations have been sent by their unsuspecting governments to join this august panel; and returned disgusted with the fact the group does not follow the scientific method in determining what is scientifically accurate.  These are my true peers.

I also see a smaller group of very patient individuals within the United Nations who wish to rule the world through fear.  They knew what they were doing when they took advantage of the political ambitions of a young and naive Al Gore to further their own ends.

Blaming mankind for the heat produced by the undersea volcanoes they want to keep hidden is their current mode of operation.  Spread the fear and blame so they can impliment a carbon tax as a first step in gaining the power to rule us all without representation.
