Note: Average temperature is a short cut
-- an incomplete way to describe the climate,
but I'll assume it is a good metric
for this article because it is the
primary metric for global warmunists!

In fact, no one lives in the average temperature,
so it is not an important metric for individuals.
The leftists claim 4.5 billion years
of natural climate change
suddenly ended in the 20th century,
and then manmade CO2 took over
as the 'climate controller'.
There is no scientific proof
that claim in true,
that claim in true,
and no explanation is ever given
of what could have caused that
-- there are only assumptions,
and unproven beliefs.
There is no proof the climate in 1750
was "normal", as leftists claim,
and much evidence that 1650 to 1750
had an unusually cool average temperature.
Humans have increased
the concentration of CO2
in the atmosphere
by only one part per 10,000,
or +0.01%.
I have great doubt that
a minuscule +0.01%
CO2 concentration increase
was the primary cause
of a small amount
of global warming

since 1940.

Anyone who questions
their climate models,

The average temperature of our planet
was in a flat trend between 2003 and 2015,
even as CO2 levels increased a lot.
Did you know that?

Did your favorite media source
ever tell you that?
The leftist response
to the 2003 to 2015
global warming "pause"
global warming "pause"
was to arbitrarily "adjust"
historical temperature data
in 2015, just enough for the flat trend
to became a slight warming trend
(although it still looks like
a flat trend on a chart).

“The whole aim of practical politics
is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”
H.L. Mencken
One of the "hobgoblins"
is the false claim of a coming
climate change catastrophe.
The global warming narrative,
of a coming climate catastrophe,
is a hoax.
The current climate is good,
and has been getting better
in the past 150 years --
our planet is actually greening,
according to satellite pictures,
and nights are slightly warmer
in the northern half of the
Northern Hemisphere.
and nights are slightly warmer

Northern Hemisphere.
Our planet is always
warming or cooling.
It's slightly warmer today
than 150 years ago.
So what?
To leftists,
"global warming" means
"global warming" means
a gradual rise
in the average temperature,
in the average temperature,
caused by man made carbon dioxide,
released by burning fossil fuels
... warming that they claim
will never stop
will never stop
(aka 'runaway warming').
But ...
climate history scientists
(mainly geologists)
believe CO2 levels
have been up to 10x or 20x higher
than today, at their peak,
and atmospheric CO2 levels
were almost always
higher than they are today,
in the past 4.5 billion years,
with absolutely no evidence
of runaway warming at any time
in the past.
in the past.
Leftists define the "normal"
average temperature, and CO2 level
as equal to very rough estimates
of the level in the pre-industrial era
-- roughly 1750 (we have very few
real time temperature measurements
that are more than 100 years old).
real time temperature measurements
that are more than 100 years old).
In fact, we have no real time
measurements for the
measurements for the
average temperature and CO2 levels
for over 99.999% of Earth's history.
How can "normal" be defined
when there are no data for
99.999% of Earth's
4.5 billion year history ?

The actual leftist
climate change claims

food crop production, and
'greening' of our planet

(2) Humans can not predict
the future climate --
not even one year into the future !
And we have 30 years of wrong
computer game climate predictions
to prove that !
(3) The small +1 degree C. change
in the average temperature since 1880,
based on very rough estimates,
is a perfectly normal natural variation
for our planet.

(4) The average temperatures
from 1300 to 1800 (aka "Little Ice Age")
based on anecdotes,
included some very cold decades
that people hated,
according to the writings
of people who lived
during those cold spells.
Some night time warming since
the Little Ice Age is good news !

(5) Climate change
had been natural
for 4.5 billion years:
There is no logical reason
to assume CO2 replaced
to assume CO2 replaced
all natural causes
of climate change in 1975,
to become the sole
'climate controller'.
There is no scientific proof CO2
has ever been a 'climate controller'
during any part of Earth's
4.5 billion year history.
But there is good evidence
from ice core studies,
that CO2 levels rise
hundreds of years
AFTER oceans warm
from natural causes
(meaning CO2 was
NOT the cause
NOT the cause
of ocean warming),
and
and
(6) The average temperature
had a flat trend from 2003 to 2015

were made in 2015),
even as large quantities of CO2
were added to the atmosphere
