Green propaganda is masking real statistics
How ideology is poisoning science
The Royal College of Physicians has abandoned science, and become a green ideological campaigning organisation.
The RCP’s “green physician toolkit” is precisely the same patronising nonsense as the WHO’s toolkit of the same name, discussed in my Daily Sceptic article a few months ago.
The two main ideas behind the toolkit are
a) that doctors routinely make “unnecessary” decisions that have environmental impact, and that
b) they should use their authority to advance an ideological agenda.
For example “reduce blood testing where clinically appropriate”. This assumes that doctors test people’s blood frivolously, something equivalent to an “unnecessary journey”. Very, very odd.
But the most egregious claim, of course, is that “Climate change is one of the biggest threats to human health”.
That is so far from truthful, and so utterly embedded in green ideology, that the word “lie” is not sufficient.
There is less than zero evidence that climate is a “threat to human health”, let alone the “biggest threat”. The evidence debunking the link between climate change and health is so strong that doctors have to go out of their way to conceal the stats.
You can see the raw data here for yourself. Climate-related mortality has fallen in recent decades. Diseases of poverty, which are claimed to be climate-linked, including malaria, are also in steep decline.
I give an overview of how climate-activist doctors at the Lancet are influenced by ideology here, and go into more detail to explain how they lie in this presentation below. At around 36 mins, I show that the Lancet’s green propaganda pages hide the mortality statistics behind “frequency of event” statistics, to give the opposite impression.
The Lancet claims that “life-threatening extreme weather events are becoming increasingly frequent”. When you interrogate the data, however, it reveals that far fewer people are being killed by extreme weather.
So it’s not just a lie, it’s a fraud. And it’s a fraud told for political effect, to transform society and the economy, which ultimately will have a devastating effect on human health. And it already is, if we calculate the opportunity cost for people in emerging economies.
Doctors and medical researchers involved in this propaganda have invented their own metric of “risk” to create “evidence” of a growing “threat”. And doctors and institutions of medicine that reproduce this propaganda do so *uncritically* without checking the numbers.
The numbers are not complicated. The science is not complicated. The data is not hard to find. This is not like 5-sigma high energy physics experimentation.
Consider this chart from the latest Lancet propaganda report, for example. It claims that the better part of a $trillion is lost from agricultural production because of exposure to heat. But look at how small that effect is in the West, compared to developing/low income economies.
Whereas farmers in the US can tend to vast farms, sitting in GPS-guided, air conditioned, diesel-powered tractors, subsistence agriculture is dawn-to-dusk manual labour.
The difference is access to fossil fuels. It’s not a weather or climate effect.
To frame that disparity between agricultural producers in the richest and poorest economies as one of “climate change”, requiring the abolition of fossil fuels is a grotesque injustice. It is vile.

I only recently realised we'd got to the stage of making the poor even poorer. I had assumed that, as the Climate Crisis is a middle-class gullible/uber-rich nutter imaginary fiasco, it was only affecting us here in the West. It hadn't dawned on me that the politicians in poor countries would fall for it. However, I see the BBC have decided Africa has its own Climate Deniers in the form of poor farmers who want access to fertilisers so as to grow food. How very dare they!!!!
So now they will be stopping third world doctors from treating people because of the Climate Crisis. Because you can bet that Western doctors won't stop treating people (assuming you can get to see one!). I suppose a lot of third world medical facilities rely on the UN/WHO/Bill Gates to fund their facilities so they sort of have their hands tied.
The whole Climate Crisis nonsense is so unbelievable that I have to pinch myself sometimes to check I'm not dreaming. I don't know how it gets stopped. The people who think they are gods (old Billy Boy again) have the money, power and influence to control the stupid politicians around the world and you've only got to look at madman Ed Milliband in the UK to see how effect the brainwashing has been on them.
The CO2 thing drives me crazy - I keep having to point out that trees love the stuff, that commercial glasshouse growers have to pump the stuff into the houses because there's not enough floating around outside, that more CO2 makes the world greener and gives everyone more food. People are always suprised and then, giving it a bit of thought, end up agreeing that CO2 is important. But they usually end up saying that "The Scientists" wouldn't say their was a Climate Crisis caused by too much CO2 made by humans if it wasn't true. No shortage of stupidity and gullibility in the world is there?
Poverty is caused on a large scale by powerful people wanting more power. There's more than enough potential on this planet to fill everyone's needs.
