Climate scientist Michael Mann warns: the assault on science isn’t just about climate denial.

One of the things that makes the ending of Heat so powerful is its music—Moby's "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." At the time, Moby was relatively unknown, yet Michael Mann somehow discovered the obscure track and decided it was perfect for the final scene. Moby explains: “Let’s get in our little time machine and go back to 1994. I was part of the rave scene, and I was making my first album, Everything Is Wrong. One of the songs—in fact, the last song on the album—that I was desperate to include was "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." It could arguably be the strangest song ever included on what was supposed to be a dance album. There are no drums and nothing overtly electronic about it. When I was working on it and mixing it, I fell in love with it almost more than anything I’d ever done. So I put it on the album, and it sat there at the end, largely ignored. But somehow, and I still don’t know how, Michael Mann heard it and wanted to use it in this movie he was working on called Heat, with Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Val Kilmer, on and on and on. This real movie. I was baffled. How does Michael Mann know who I am? How does Michael Mann know about this piece of music? But I said yes, of course. It was such an amazing opportunity. This major Hollywood director knew who I was and wanted to use my music. They flew me to Los Angeles and put me in a professional studio to tailor “God Moving” to the closing scene of the film. Until then, I had only ever worked in my homemade studio in an abandoned loft building in New York… One of the most terrifying professional moments of my life came when someone told me, “Michael Mann wants to talk to you.” And I was like, “Can’t he just leave me alone? I’m terrified. I don’t want to talk to humans.” I thought, “Okay, Michael Mann is going to call me, and it’s going to be scary, but I can deal with it because I’m a big boy.” The phone rang, I picked it up, and Michael Mann talked for about 45 minutes. He talked about archetypes within the film, classical narrative elements and tropes. It was like he gave me this masterclass in what Heat was about, and then just hung up the phone. And then it came out, and to hear the music that I’d made against this phenomenal, beautiful scene—it really was special. I’m thrilled that, 30 years later, people are still discovering the film and “God Moving Over the Face of the Waters.” Spoiler warning: The clip below contains the ending of Heat. If you haven't seen the film, don't watch past the first 30 seconds. The music doesn't begin until about a minute into the scene.

Dr. Michael Yeadon Exposes the Foundational Lie of Climate Alarmism What if everything you’ve been told about climate change is not just exaggerated, but a deliberate, orchestrated lie? Former Pfizer VP & Chief Scientist Dr. Michael Yeadon delivers a stunning, evidence-based takedown of the climate change narrative that will make you question everything. He begins by tracing the origins. “If you do nothing else, have a look at the Club of Rome, the Trilateral Commission,” Dr. Yeadon states. “Honestly, things like climate change and pandemic diseases were decided to be used by people concerned about population... They decided at the same time to frighten you with diseases and changes to climate. It's the same group of people at the same time. And after that, there was a diaspora of propaganda.” But what about the science? Dr. Yeadon, an expert in parsing complex data, did his own research. “I found at least three or four people who've spent longer in atmospheric science than I've spent in pharma R&D. And there is no question that there is no significant change to the climate since pre-industrial times.” He dismantles the core data itself. “Where do you think they got the temperature data from when there were virtually no thermometers? They weren't calibrated. No one checked the records. This idea that they know it's 1.5 degrees warmer? It's a lie.” Then, he goes for the jugular: the alleged link between CO2 and temperature. “There is no connection between CO2 in the air and the temperature of the surface... We don't live in a greenhouse. A greenhouse is a closed system. Our atmosphere is open; energy radiates back into space.” The proof? Ice core data. “What several independent groups all show is that changes in temperature ALWAYS preceded change in atmospheric CO2. CO2 moves in response to temperature. Warm water holds less CO2. Everyone knows a warm fizzy drink goes flat. It’s basic science.” His conclusion is unequivocal: “When the Earth warms due to changes in solar output or orbital cycles, the CO2 movement takes place afterwards. All of this fear-mongering about burning fossil fuels adding CO2 and changing the climate? It is a lie. They're lying to you to frighten you and to get you to accept restrictions on your life.” This isn’t a conspiracy theory. It’s a call for intellectual honesty from a renowned scientist. It’s time to stop being frightened by a crisis that doesn’t exist. Share if you’re ready to question the narrative. Follow for more unflinching analysis from world-class experts.
