Re. ' Geological Society of London Scientific Statement: what the geological record tells us about our present and future climate' , published in December 2020 issue of the Journal of the Geological Society ... https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/jgs/article/178/1/jgs2020-239/593602/GeologicalSociety-of-London-Scientific-Statement Review by an impartial consultant geologist (Roger Higgs). Five points that most readers of the article lack the background to detect, and that the MSM will certainly not publicize, are its bias, disingenuity, dishonesty (in one instance), selectivity, and alarmism. 1) Bias and self-interest The sixteen co-authors are, without exception, academics. Most of these people, unconsciously or not, are biased by strong vested interests (career, salary, research grants, credibility, publication history) in perpetuating the supposition that Anthropogenic (Man-Made) Global Warming (AGW) by industrial CO2 emissions is correct. They are all aboard the United Nations-funded AGW gravy train. Moreover, despite the crucial importance of the AGW debate (or lack of) to human society, the journal appointed just two reviewers to assess this article. Both reviewers are likewise academics; both have published their belief that CO2 controls climate; and one of them is at the same university, in the same department, as the article's lead author (who, incidentally, has three of her own papers cited in the article). Most irregularly, the review process was completed extremely quickly: the manuscript was rushed through from receipt to acceptance in just 10 days (7th-17th December). 2) Disingenuity Already, in the second sentence, disingenuity is evident ... "Observations from the geological record show that atmospheric CO2 concentrations are now at their highest levels in at least the past 3 million years."
