This week PM interviews “climategate” whistleblower Brian Sussman, a courageous commentator who is bringing important information to the attention of the voting public.
Brian Sussman is a San Francisco Bay Area media icon. For over twenty years he served as the region’s most celebrated television science reporter and meteorologist, having received honors from the Associated Press, the Radio and TV News Director’s Association, the National Education Association, and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2001, Brian shocked the television community by daring to leave for a career in conservative talk radio. Joining the line-up on San Francisco’s KSFO-AM, Sussman has become a huge ratings success and a constant source of irritation to the Bay Area’s liberal establishment.
In his book, Climategate [www.theclimategatebook.com], Sussman combines his keen ability to readily explain complex scientific subjects with his astute political observations, driving home his conviction: the theory of manmade global warming is a fraud and many of the high profile personalities fronting such claims are charlatans purposed to change society and make loads of cash.
(Joseph Farah, Editor and Chief Executive Officer of WorldNetDaily.com Inc., has said of the book, "Climategate is a strong title that has helped shatter the myths of “global warming” and catastrophic, man-made climate change. I believe this book, written, as it is, by a great communicator with a strong background in meteorology, has become the definitive book on the subject. The marketplace has responded very, very strongly." Released only last spring, Climategate has already gone through a remarkable five printings.)
PM: Brian, your new book is a sensational look at the change agents who are “cooking the books” in order to present their own reality. What has been the reaction so far?
BS: There’ve been two different reactions. First, “Thank you for the book; it confirmed my suspicions. You are illuminating facts.” Then there’s the other camp, “This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s a meteorologist, not a climatologist.” Then the critics add, “Oh, he’s published by WND [WorldNetDaily]…so there you go.”
None of the critics have attacked the book on substance. There are 300 footnotes; in many cases I’m using their research against them.
PM: Give us some specifics regarding the criticisms.
BS: I was on a really liberal talk show—Thom Hartmann (Sirius/XM radio)—and when he started arguing with me about global warming, and then CO2 being a pollutant, his next mode of attack was WND. He went crazy over Jerome Corsi!
The other one I get a lot is if I’m on a radio show (or comments on Amazon.com) and people do research on me and realize I’m a Christian. Then they research and see that I’m a creationist. The book has nothing to do with creation, but they go right past that and attack me on matters of religion.
PM: What do you believe drove your research into this subject?
BS: At the heart of this, my faith in God…I don’t believe in made-up stuff. My faith in God comes from evidence. My thoughts on creation are based on evidence. I know there is no such thing as global warming because there is no evidence.
Our faith is based on evidence.
PM: It seems recent developments indicate the global warming crowd is a bit back on its heels, right?
BS: A gentleman I spoke to recently at The Oregon Scientific Research Institute collected 30,000 signatures from physical scientists around the world who do not advocate the global warming theory. He said they look at facts and the facts don’t line up.
PM: So you’re not surprised by the liberal bias?
BS: There are a couple stories I didn’t share in the book. One has to do with Dan Rather. I used to work for the CBS Morning Show, the fill-in show for weather in New York and I got to know Rather and found him to be a nice guy.
He was in San Francisco and had a meeting with me. He said El Nino was affecting weather patterns in the US. That’s true. He said, this is such a big event we’d like to have you as our West Coast correspondent on CBS News. A once-a-week update.
I’m listening to this and I’m thrilled! What would this would do for my career! And then he said, “And the tie-in between El Nino and global warming…someone needs to talk about this and you’re the guy.”
I couldn’t do that. I said, “Mr. Rather, I don’t think you’ll find too many credible scientists who would agree with that.” Daggers came out of his eyes.
That was it; it was over.
PM: What about those who have been challenged in their thinking by your book?
BS: I have received a lot of correspondence all over the world regarding the book and I have hear from members of the media who were on the fence. A couple chapters are so convincing (3 and 4)…those are the chapters that people find so compelling. And that’s turned a few people around.
The other chapter, on Consensus, where I talk about the whole myth of consensus, has really resonated. All these high-level scientists including former astronauts, are convincing. People say, “The mainstream media are selling me a bill of goods.”
PM: Some say that conservative Christians “check their brains at the door” when confronted with issues like this. What has been the response to your book from that community?
BS: I’ve had quite a few interviews on Christian radio around the country. Christians are interested in the truth and facts and evidence, and they can see right through all this. It’s a topic that’s of great concern.
The other thing they realize is that those who believe in global warning are committed Darwinists, globalists, atheists.
A friend was trying to get it in a Christian bookstore…with little success. The opening line they had a problem with. I was making the point that Marx’s plans were antithetical to God’s plans. He was acting as an illegitimate child.
Marx’s views are sweeping the West Wing. They’ve permeated academia, and even worked their way into the church. It comes from Marx, a clever guy and persuasive writer and, I think, motivated by evil. Marx believed that various people are born a better brain than others. They must rule over those with the lesser brains, because lesser brains might destroy the planet.They honestly believe they are better than everyone else. This was quintessential Karl Marx and this mindset has been distributed to so many on the planet. They probably don’t know that’s the source, but…
If you study the book of Revelation and see how things are going to wind up, you can see how these things conveniently fit into end-times prophecy.
PM: What are some of the implications of the ideology behind global warming?
BS: We have a ballot initiative in California to amend the constitution, to get rid of a law (the California Global Initiative Law)…it’s essentially cap-and-trade for the state. It’s already been passed—we’re just waiting for it to be implemented. The law, AB 32, basically says, “we’re just going to suspend it until unemployment reaches 5.2 percent.
The law demands the reduction of greenhouse gases. These are clever ways to get cars off the roads, herding us into communities…next to urban transportation hubs. That’s the plan they have in place for California, to treat us like little gerbils.
That’s just a glimpse of what they plan for the rest of the United States.
