On 07-03-14, WARD DOSSCHE said to TIM RICHARDSON:


TR> The author of `The Deliberate Corruption of Climate Science',
TR> Dr. Tim Ball (a climatologist for more than forty years) has
TR> been one of the earliest skeptics of the global warming scam.


WD>The University of Winnipeg, with which Timothy Ball was associated, does
WD>not have, nor has it ever had, a climatology department.


The department of `geology' at the University of Winnipeg was doing
research in `Urban Climatology'

Ball recieved his BA from the University of Manitoba, an MA from that
same university, and his Phd from Queen Mary of London University.


WD>The Calgary Herald  writes that Timothy Ball "...never had a reputation in
WD>the scientific community as a noted climatologist and authority on global
WD>warming," and that he "...is viewed as a paid promotor of the agenda of
WD>the oil and gas industry rather than as a practicing scientist." In the


As with the vast majority of newspapers of the `commonwealth', The Calgary
Herald writes in a `National Enquirer style, and no doubt is also firmly
in the corner of the `warmist' group. Most all ofthe main stream media
are. So what else is new.


WD>ensuing court case which Ball started, he acknowledged that he had only
WD>been a professor for eight years, and that his doctorate was not in
WD>climatology but rather in geography, and subsequently withdrew his lawsuit
WD>on June 8, 2007.


Your main complaint seems to be he did a lawsuit and then withdrew it.


His doctorate was in geography with an emphasis on historical climatology.
And as for your whine about his being `a paid promoter of the agenda of the
oil and gas industry'...why would you be surprised at the `oil and gas
industry having a few scientists on THEIR side? Did you think this argument
was only supposed to be on-sided? That all you `warmists' get to have
all the `paid promoters' on YOUR side of the aisle? And that NON-believers
in `warming' aren't allowed to have any?


WD>There is no show in scientific magazines of any evidence of research
WD>regarding climate and atmosphere by Ball. He didn't publish a single paper
WD>about it.


Ball has written a number of peer-reviewed papers according to his bio.


Among them:


"Comparative Air Quality in Urban and Suburban Environments of
Winnipeg", Manitoba Environmental Research Council Annual Publication;
1975


"An Assessment of The Urban Heat Island as a Potential Energy",
Manitoba Environmental Research Council Annual Publication, 1975


"As Cold as I Ever Knew It. Manitoba Climate for the Last 200 Years";
Historical and Scientific Society of Manitoba Transactions, 1976-77


"Analysis of Historical Evidence of Climate Change in Western and
Northern Canada" National Museum of Natural Sciences, Ottawa, 1981


"The Migration of Geese as an Indicator of Climate Change in the
Southern Hudson Bay Region Between 1715 and 1851"; published in
`Climate Change', 1983


"Selected Climatological Data from Hudson's Bay Company Records
of The Period 1718-1939 At Churchill, Manitoba", Environment Canada
Downsview, Ontario 1984


His `credentials' came into question at some point, and there is a copy
of his Phd, which is in geography with a specific focus on historical
climatology out there for the very reason that it was brought into
question by some of the `warmist' fanatics.


By the way...the title of his `doctoral thesis was:


Climate Change in Central Canada: A Preliminary Analysis of
Weather Information From the Hudson's Bay Company Forts at
York Factory and Churchill Factory, 1714-1850!


One of the first things to be hurled at any skeptic of the `warmist'
agenda is challenge to `their credentials'.


His biggest crime seems to be that he (like me) see changes in the
climate as nothing more than normal changes that have been going
on for ages and ages, due mostly to the activity of the Sun!



WD>He has been called "perhaps the most prominent climate change denier in
WD>Canada."


WOW!!!!!! What a crime!


WD>It is public knowledge that Ball received funding from the fossil fuel
WD>industry, especially through the organization Friends of Science, which
WD>Ball co-founded and whose scientific advisory board he sits upon.


And it is also public knowledge that pretty well all `global warming'
outfits connected with universities recieve THEIR funding out of the
taxpayers' pocket!


So...what we have here is private industry funding some of the skeptics,
and the taxpayers being forced to fund the `global warming' alarmists.


WD>Friends of Science received a third of its funding from the oil industry.


And Jones of the CRU in England, and most all ofthe universities in America
who have `climatology' departments that study ands research `global warming'
recieve most-if not all- THEIR funding `picked' from the pockets of the
taxpayers!


WD>It is so easy to debunk all your writings.


Its so easy to debunk all your writings.
