The Global Consciousness Project is a parapsychology experiment begun in 1998, described as an attempt to detect potential interactions of "global consciousness" with physical systems. The project uses a geographically distributed network of hardware random number generators to uncover potential anomalies in their output that might correlate with world events that elicit widespread emotional response or focused attention by large numbers of people.

sciousness, and our souls. The dogma of the church (whichever church) should prevail and be accepted on blind faith without scru- tiny.


While parapsychology is an example of a field shunned and disparaged by the main- stream, an example of a paradigm and dogma currently favored by the establishment scien- tific community is global climate change. The consensus view is that Earth is warming, with potentially disastrous consequences, and the primary culprit is human activity. In many scientific circles, to even suggest that this may not be the entire story is to face harsh consequences—loss of grant funding, diminished prestige, being passed over for promotion, inability to publish one’s data and views.


The American Physical Society, like many other scientific societies, has gone on record as supporting the reality of global warming, stating (language adopted by APS Council on 18 November 2007):


“Emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth’s climate. . . .


The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring.


If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological

systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.


Because the complexity of the cli- mate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an en- hanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earth’s climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms. . . .”


Of course such statements issued by a mainstream scientific organization become dogma virtually equivalent to papal encycli- cals. They form the basis and rationale for in- vesting major financial resources in the topic—in this case global warming. Recently charges of academic misconduct on the part of climate change proponents made the news with the scandal dubbed “Cli- mateGate.” In November 2009 over a thou- sand emails and several thousand documents were released by a hacker, acquired from a server used by the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia. Allegations in- cluded the withholding of data, manipula- tion of data to support global warming sce- narios, exaggeration of the certainty of the data supporting global warming, suppression of dissenting opinions, and plotting to re-


move people from influential positions (such as journal editors) who disagree with climate change dogma. Subsequent investigations into these charges have neither fully sup- ported the allegations nor totally exonerated the individuals involved, but they have en- gendered strong feelings and exposed just how vested the interests are and how much money can be at stake.


On 6 October 2010, Harold Lewis (Emer- itus Professor of Physics, University of Cali- fornia, Santa Barbara) sent a letter to the president of APS, resigning in disgust from the society he had first joined 67 years ear- lier. Professor Lewis asserts that the APS (and by extension, much of mainstream sci- ence) has been corrupted by money. To quote him,


“. . . the money flood has become the raison d’être of much physics research, the vital sustenance of much more, and it provides the support for untold numbers of professional jobs. . . . It is of course, the global warming scam, with the (literally) trillions of dol- lars driving it, that has corrupted so many scientists, and has carried APS before it like a rogue wave. It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have seen in my long life as a physicist. Anyone who has the faintest doubt that this is so should force himself
