THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - March 5, 2010
Hoax of the Century
by Pat Buchanan
With publication of "On the Origin of Species" in 1859,
the hunt was on for the "missing link." Fame and fortune
awaited the scientist who found the link proving Darwin
right: that man evolved from a monkey.
In 1912, success! In a gravel pit near Piltdown in East
Sussex, there was found the cranium of a man with the jaw
of an ape.
"Darwin Theory Proved True," ran the banner headline.
Evolution skeptics were pilloried, and three English
scientists were knighted for validating Piltdown Man.
It wasn't until 1953, after generations of biology students
had been taught about Piltdown Man, that closer inspection
discovered that the cranium belonged to a medieval English-
man, the bones had been dyed to look older and the jaw
belonged to an orangutan whose teeth had been filed down
to look human.
The scientific discovery of the century became the hoax of
the century. But Piltdown Man was not alone. There was
Nebraska Man.

In 1922, Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American
Museum of Natural History, identified a tooth fossil found
in Nebraska to be that of an "anthropoid ape." He used his
discovery to mock William Jennings Bryan, newly elected to
Congress, as "the most distinguished primate which the
State of Nebraska has yet produced."
Invited to testify at the Scopes trial, however, Osborn
begged off. For, by 1925, Nebraska Man's tooth had been
traced to a wild pig, and Creationist Duane Gish, a bio-
chemist, had remarked of Osborn's Nebraska Man, "I believe
this is a case in which a scientist made a man out of a
pig, and the pig made a monkey out of the scientist."
These stories are wonderfully told in Eugene Windchy's
2009 "The End of Darwinism." But if Piltdown Man and his
American cousin Nebraska Man were the hoaxes of the 20th
century, global warming is the great hoax of the 21st.
In a matter of months, what have we learned:
-- In its 2007 report claiming that the Himalayan glaciers
are melting, the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change relied on a 1999 news story in a popular science
journal, based on one interview with a little-known Indian
scientist who said this was pure "speculation," not support-
ed by any research. The IPCC also misreported the supposed
date of the glaciers' meltdown as 2035. The Indian had
suggested 2350.
-- The IPCC report that global warming is going to kill
40 percent of the Amazon rainforest and cut African crop
yields 50 percent has been found to be alarmist propaganda.
-- The IPCC 2007 report declared 55 percent of Holland to
be below sea level, an exaggeration of over 100 percent.
-- While endless keening is heard over the Arctic ice cap,
we hear almost nothing of the 2009 report of the British
Antarctica Survey that the sea ice cap of Antarctica has
been expanding by 100,000 square kilometers a decade for
30 years. That translates into 3,800 square miles of new
Antarctic ice every year.

-- Though America endured one of the worst winters ever,
while the 2009 hurricane season was among the mildest, the
warmers say this proves nothing. But when our winters were
mild and the 2005 hurricane season brought four major
storms to the U.S. coast, Katrina among them, the warmers
said this validated their theory.
You can't have it both ways.
-- The Climatic Research Unit at East Anglia University,
which provides the scientific backup for the IPCC,
apparently threw out the basic data on which it based
claims of a rise in global temperatures for the century.
And a hacker into its e-mail files found CRU "scientists"
had squelched the publication of dissenting views.
What we learned in a year's time: Polar bears are not
vanishing. Sea levels are not rising at anything like the
20-foot surge this century was to bring. Cities are not
sinking. Beaches are not disappearing. Temperatures have
not been rising since the late 1990s. And, in historic
terms, our global warming is not at all unprecedented.
Dennis Avery of Hudson Institute wrote a decade ago that
from A.D. 900 to 1300, the Earth warmed by 4 to 7 degrees
Fahrenheit, a period known as the Little Climate Optimum.
How horrible was it?
"The Vikings discovered and settled Greenland around A.D.
950. Greenland was then so warm that thousands of colonists
supported themselves by pasturing cattle on what is now
frozen tundra. During this great global warming, Europe
built the looming castles and soaring cathedrals that even
today stun tourists with their size, beauty and engineer-
ing excellence. These colossal buildings required the
investment of millions of man-hours -- which could be
spared from farming because of higher crop yields."
Today's global warming hysteria is the hoax of the 21st
century. H.L. Mencken had it right: "The whole aim of
practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed -- and
hence clamorous to be led to safety -- by menacing it with
an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
