False Science: The Parallels

I want to point out the common factors in certain disease research and global warming research.
First of all, global warming is based on the notion of a single cause: CO2. Although pro-AGW (anthropogenic global warming) scientists readily admit there are other factors, they all say it is manmade CO2 which has pushed us over the brink.
In the so-called Swine Flu epidemic, the culprit has been announced: H1N1. It is the cause of the illness.
CO2 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors, in a highly complex weather system, as the single entity that has “taken the planet to the edge of disaster.”
H1N1 has been absurdly isolated from a whole host of other relevant factors (immune function, horrendous conditions at the La Gloria, Mexico, Smithfield pig farm, where Swine Flu supposedly originated, etc.) as the single entity causing Swine Flu.
When researchers attempt to explain how CO2 creates excessive warming, they run into contrary evidence and unsolved questions. Ditto for H1N1. For example, no standard diagnostic tests measure the concentration of the virus in the body—and it is the level of concentration (titer) which differentiates actual illness from mere passenger-viral status.
Swine Flu cases numbers and deaths don’t even begin to approach the figures on seasonal, conventional, run-of-the-mill flu. In other words, the effect of H1N1 is relatively slight. In the same way, when models and massaged temperature data are exposed as fraudulent, the picture of planetary warming becomes modest or even trivial. The effect of CO2 is slight.
In the case of Swine Flu and global warming, alarmist propaganda has propelled these phenomena into money juggernauts. Furthermore, in both cases, UN agencies have emerged as power players: WHO and IPCC. Both agencies have globalist goals—central control of populations through over-hyped threats.
This last fact is more apparent in the matter of AGW. But a wave of phony epidemics has placed WHO in a cardinal position to call shots on national economies and exert pressure to make governments fall into line and surrender aspects of their sovereignty.
The SARS “epidemic,” in which fewer than 1000 deaths have been reported, globally, since 2003, cost Asian economies $40 billion. Toronto, shut down by WHO travel advisories, lost several billion dollars—and a budding effort to mount a suit against WHO faded away, as residents of the city bit the bullet.
WHO aims to become a vast and permanent international medical infra-structure that will govern all future epidemics, and in the process allocate resources from various governments to poorer nations. Wealth re-distribution.
Of course, ceiling caps on carbon emissions and a “kinder, gentler” USSR-type allocation of natural resources, globally, is the goal of IPCC.
At the bottom of all this? False science. That is the engine.

In the case of thimerosal (mercury) and autism the argument is this: Since thimerosal alone does not cause autism in every case it cannot be the cause of autism. There may be an association but association does not mean it is the cause. This is a false argument since cause and contributing factor as two separate concepts are often confused and interchanged. Yet, it is interesting how this is a mirror to what you are saying here. In one case “they” focus on one factor and say it is THE cause. In another case, they say ignore the “one” factor, and focus on all the others.
