I’m climate change denier Tony Heller. You might know me better by my pen name, “Steven Goddard,” or Twitter handle, @SteveSGoddard. This is my story.
First, you should know that I’m pretty much a nobody in the climate debate. I’m laughed at by all climatologists. I’m not even taken seriously by true climate skeptics. I don’t have a degree in climatology. I haven’t written a single academic paper about climate change and I don’t have a job related to climatology or the weather. What I do have is a blog and a Twitter account. And as it turns out, that’s pretty much all you need to be a somebody in the climate debate.

Like a shit stain, my blog is ugly, embarrassing and, as much as you hate to, it’s something you have to deal with. One fellow climate denier described my blog as “the crack house of skepticism.” But enough uneducated morons and right-wing ideologues link to my blog to grant me substantial ranking on Google search results. As a result, any layperson on the Internet who has researched global warming with Google to a fair degree has likely read the bullshit posted on my website where I claim to be able to drive 250,000 visitors to my site every week and have received over 20 million page views as of November 2014. I have also attracted over 4000 11,000 14,000 19,000 Twitter followers with more than 18,000 50,000 84,000 111,000 tweets. And so although a complete nobody in the climate debate, I have a fair amount of influence over thousands, perhaps millions, of impressionable individuals who don’t have a basic grasp of the facts on global warming.
My first notable attempt at refuting climate scientists was in an article appearing on “The Register” website which was reprinted as my first guest blog post on Anthony Watts’ infamous “Watt’s Up with That?” climate denial website using my pseudonym “Steven Goddard.” Though I’m not qualified in any way to perform climate analysis, like many successful climate deniers, I have enough of a background in science and math to appear knowledgeable to the average Joe, but anybody with a serious background in climatology quickly realizes how clueless I am. But I’ve learned you don’t need to be right or truthful to attract an audience. Today’s political climate is rife with rabidly anti-government, free market types that are easy to manipulate and connect with.

Anyway, in my first guest blog post for Watts, I essentially accused officials at the NSIDC, a government funded organization that monitors snow and ice formation on the planet, of fudging data about the melting arctic ice cap to make it appear as if it was melting more than it was. After going around and around incessantly in the comment section of the blog post and wasting a lot of people’s time with my bad analysis, I ultimately ended up having to issue an apology and acknowledge that the NSIDC was correct after an official from the organization took the time to point out how full of shit I was. Of course, that didn’t stop me from saying other dumb shit on Anthony’s blog because I simply don’t know what the fuck I’m talking about when it comes to the climate. For example, in this post, I make the ridiculous claim that it’s so cold in Antarctica that CO2 freezes out of the air like snow similar to what happens on Mars. Even after it’s pointed out in the comments just how fucking stupid that is and after Watts posted a retraction, I continue to insist I’m right.

In 2010, after a two-year stint guest blogging at WUWT, Anthony Watts figured out what an embarrassment I was to his site and fired me from my volunteer position as a guest blogger. So, I did what any denier hungry for a piece of the oil money action would do and launched my own climate denial blog, “Real Climate,” which I supplemented with my Twitter feed a year later. Continuing to post anonymously under my pseudonym “Steven Goddard,” I hammered out piles of pure bullshit making all kinds of baseless accusations against scientists and government officials. It wasn’t until June 23, 2014 that I finally started getting some traction with a post accusing NOAA and NASA of purposefully fudging US temperature data. Of course, it was all bullshit and easily refuted but that didn’t matter. It was choice red meat propaganda and so it got picked up by the corporate shills at Fox News and spread far and wide throughout the right wing echo chamber. I had finally hit the big time and now the world had heard about Steven FUCKING Goddard.

But now that I was getting some attention, it became clear that I couldn’t properly capitalize on my new found notoriety by remaining anonymous. So on June 27, 2014, I revealed my true identity, Tony Heller.
My next big break was my speaking gig at Heartland Institute’s climate denier conference held in Las Vegas just a couple of weeks later in July. You can watch my rambling, bumbling presentation at the conference here. Despite my rather underwhelming talk, the event was still a fantastic opportunity to network with other climate deniers and start connecting with others who could help me get paid for spewing my bullshit to my denier lemmings and clouding the climate change debate for my unsuspecting readers.
Since that time, the hundreds of embarrassingly bad blogs posts that would torpedo any real scientist’s career hasn’t put a dent in my career as a professional denier. For example, there was the time I confused sea ice with a glacier on my blog and had to erase all evidence of my post when I got called out on it. Despite my buffoonery, things have actually been going swimmingly. Because fake news has become indistinguishable from real news in the minds of many and because scientific knowledge has been overwhelmed with nonsense, it makes it possible for someone like me to have real influence. My bogus charts have been cited by the likes of United States Senator Ted Cruz and I even appeared and spoke alongside Australian Senator Malcolm Roberts at his press conference in 2016. I’m also now frequently quoted as a climate authority by right wing propaganda outlets like Climate Depot and Breitbart.

I’m looking forward to continuing my work and building upon my reputation as an unapologetic sociopath and fighting the climate jihadists with juvenile insults. I am a rabid partisan and my work is an extension of my extreme right-wing ideology. Do I feel shame deceiving readers with unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, half truths, and ceaseless cherry picking? Nope! In fact, I view all progressives as the enemy and I will gladly say next to anything if I think it will undermine them. And I certainly have no issue with doing all this work for money so please donate today!

IPCC is NOT a scientific body. It is a political body. Science has a methodology designed to minimize erroneous conclusions. It encourages skepticism so as to render proposed theories less vulnerable to serious criticism. Unfortunately, political interference often seeks to muzzle skepticism to further a particular political agenda.

Also on my mind a question which, however inappropriate here, I’m gonna ask anyway… Not long ago I came across a climate denialist who had also published online his proof that the moon landings were a hoax because the Saturn V was demonstrably incapable of the fuel-energy load required – or something like that.

1) “You’re” not Tony Heller or Stephen Goddard. You’re a sock puppet.
2) The last time I checked, Venus and Earth were two different planets with two completely different sets of characteristics. I have no idea what makes the temperature of Venus so high. Lack of a moon to thin away the atmosphere? Closer proximity to the sun? Denser atmosphere that traps more heat? Some other factors?
Regardless, arguments regarding Venus’ climate and arguments regarding Earth’s climate are two completely different subjects. I imagine that people who disagree on one planet could conceivably agree on the other. Or maybe not. Who knows? I haven’t researched the possibility.
3) The real life Tony Heller seems to have some anger management issues, and he doesn’t seem to be able to play nicely with others. However, I can think of plenty of thin-skinned, prickly AGW believers, so what’s the point? There are ego-driven, flawed personalities with track records of producing fact-deficient, fraudulent or dishonest statements on both sides.
I get that Tony rubs you the wrong way. For some reason climate science is a subject that makes people very emotional, very quickly, after the start of any discussion.
Here’s a theory: is it possible that, subconsciously, we all know (both believers and skeptics) that the argument regarding which factors force climate changes (and the contributing percentages of each) won’t be definitively quantified, beyond further debate, until decades upon decades in the future, when we’ll all be resting in our graves and unable to gloat or mourn that our side was right/wrong?
In other words, is all this emotion merely the bubbling over of unconscious frustration at the knowledge that we can’t settle the argument for good, for a long, long time?

Given the enormous number of people in the United States that believe the Earth is 6,000 years old, I suspect that a good proportion of them also think the Earth is in Gods hand and therefore global warming is either (1) irrelevant, (2) nonexistent or (3) one of the plagues and cannot be stopped anyway.
The age of the earth is mostly irrelevant in this context — so long as it is older than recorded history, who cares? But the relevant factor is whether any person is willing to do something about it.

Looks like I’m going to have to break it all down in baby steps for you. Apparently, eighth-grade-level blog posts are beyond your reading comprehension (sorry if this insults you, nasty habit of mine).
Step 1: Read this tweet from me: https://twitter.com/SteveSGoddard/status/459688620262031361
OK, got that? I believe the temperature on Venus is hot because it has a high pressure. This is not true, but this is what I believe.
Step 2: Now read this tweet that clearly demonstrates that the phenomena that I think explains why it’s hot on Venus happens here on Earth, too: https://twitter.com/SteveSGoddard/status/448841986393403393
OK, you with me so far? We can agree the Grand Canyon is here on Earth, right? So this should make it abundantly clear to you that I think that the ideal gas law applies to atmospheres on planets and I think using the ideal gas law is the proper approach to determining the temperature on a planet. If you disagree with my assessment of what I believe, go read this http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/please-stop-the-stupid/ where a I clearly talk about the ideal gas law: PV=nRT and how I think it applies to planets with atmospheres.
Step 3: Now go look at this blog post where *I come right out and fucking say* that Earth would be just like Venus if it had a thicker atmosphere: https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2014/11/20/what-keeps-earth-from-being-like-venus/
I’ll spoon feed you the sentence from that last post I linked you to:
“Without these limestone beds, earth would have a very thick, high pressure atmosphere and would be hot like Venus.”
So beyond a shadow of a doubt, I think the physical properties on Venus apply to us here on Earth. And I think that if the Earth had a thick atmosphere it would cause more pressure which would increase the temperature. I just fucking said it. You cannot possibly deny what I just said. I just quoted it to you. And you cannot possibly claim that I don’t draw a correlation between what happens on Venus with what happens here on Earth. I just unequivocally showed you that I do make a correlation between what happens on Venus and what happens on Earth.
Now my ideas about thicker atmosphere alone (and not greenhouse gases) causing higher temperatures on Venus and Earth are batshit crazy wrong, but that’s what I believe. And that blog post from Dr. Roy Spencer that I linked you to (http://www.drroyspencer.com/2011/12/why-atmospheric-pressure-cannot-explain-the-elevated-surface-temperature-of-the-earth/) explains why what I believe is completely fucking wrong.

By the way, congrats on having a chemical engineering degree. But that by itself means almost nothing. Oliver Manuel has a nuclear physics degree and is a teaching professor and had a paper published claiming that the sun is made of iron not hydrogen: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2002/07/020717080229.htm
So yes, you can still be an absolute crackpot (as you are proving yourself to be by trying to defend me) and hold a degree at the same time. Degrees mean nothing. Hard data, good data analysis and a peer review process of that data and analysis are what science is all about.

G’day Tony,
Thanks for a superb effort, on behalf of one and all.
My background is also geology, plus socila anthropology, but my politics leveller, i. e. hard left.
Lets see if we can move this debate on. My guess after two decades of considering is the main driver of the change that is real is geomag z shifts in the non-dipole field, at the core-mantle boundary. The mag, gravity, geodetics and sealevel maps, plus the seismic tomography sections, all fit the temp shifts, on all timescales, but the CO2 maps at the lower troposhere do not match anything, not even where the cities are. At ground level, (see earthnullschool daily), the CO2 and the dirty cities match.
From this, it turns out that earth-moon barycentre shifts cause El Ninos and La Ninas, result being the solar eclipses tracking across the equatorial Pacific at year end give us all El Nios, to perfection. Run a solar total or annular across north India at SW monsoon time, and it fails. Go check the dates. But the Indian govt lied about the last one, by their own rainfall records. Also, sea surface temp anomalies, when not fake quakes fro mnuclear bomb dumping, mostly from the USA, give us excellent advance warning, days to months, of major pending quakes. Location but not timing. Stressed rocks get hot before they squeal. but try telling seismologists.
This AGW is the new global religion, with all the formal trappings. Bullshit dogmsa, a snooty but ignorant shamanic hierarchy, sacred sites, sacred rituals, saints, devils and victims. Ask Eratosthenes.

Like you, I distrusted Hansen, but very careful checking convinced me he did not crook the data. Just got some of the method badly wrong. So, I sent him an unreserved apology..
If you or anyone wants details, have a 3,000 page report, always free but slow to get done, that I can send.
Best,

This blog is funny, but I’m not laughing at the crazy notion that desecrating mountains & oceans with fossil-fuel-built industrial wind turbines will A) cause no environmental harm and B) solve climate change in any meaningful way.
Point A is easily debunked with normal eyes and ears. These huge machines are ugly, noisy, lethal and futile. There are over 340,000 of them, globally, and several schemes seek 10-times that number. It’s already a tragedy for the physical grandeur of nature. Not only do wind turbines blight daytime views, they corrupt night skies with synchronous red lights.
Point B is a matter of ERoI math and common sense. Wind power takes up far too much space for what it gives back (intermittently). The necessary scale is staggering, and remember, none of it could exist without the finite fuels it claims to replace..
The greendustrial wind frenzy is just ruining the planet with a new spin on business as usual. Anyone claiming the title of Environmentalist should not support Big Wind any more than they support Big Oil.

IPCC is NOT a scientific body. It is a political body. Science has a methodology designed to minimize erroneous conclusions. It encourages skepticism so as to render proposed theories less vulnerable to serious criticism. Unfortunately, political interference often seeks to muzzle skepticism to further a particular political agenda. This seems to be very much the case with the relationship between the IPCC (and other political interests) and climate science.

Why don’t you try to refute his claims rather than attack him personally. Usually someone does that when they are unable to defend their position…. if you can show me he is wrong, then I have reason to believe he is wrong. If you cannot, and this is all you have to say, you just made him more credible in my eye.
Made a website dedicated to him? He must have struck a never. Lol
If you care about the science. Please, go one by one with his claims and refute them.
Funny how you bash him for admitting when he was wrong and correcting it. That is a wonderful trait that is becoming rarer and rarer these days. No one wants to show they can be or are wrong, they would rather ignore it than address it. We learn and grow from recognizing the mistakes we make. If we are unable to do that, we are just know-it-all’s that don’t ever have a reason for questioning our conclusions. We are infallible and there is no more room to grow.
I never doubted global warming… until I finally looked into it. It is horrifying what is omitted. You have to ask, if they need to and are actually willing to do that, can you trust anything they have to say?

Tony Heller is the only person in the whole climate debate who has been able to site factual statistics, relevant to the effect, not the cause, of CO2 emissions. He does not attack anyone unless siting evidence based statistics is considered an attack. You, however, have put no effort to site any real statistics in this article, or in this entire website. Instead you make personal attacks on him and use vulgar language to try to keep whatever alarmist followers you have at bay.
