The United Nations is an organization
that claims the most evil nation
in the world is (your guess?):
(1) North Korea,
(2) Syria,
(3) Iran,
(4) Cuba, or
(5) Venezuela ?
Of course it makes no sense
that the UN's answer is: "Israel",
and it also makes no sense
that the UN has used junk science
to demonize carbon dioxide (CO2)
in their failed effort to become
a 'World Environment Czar'.
Note:
The definition of climate:
Average weather over 30 years or more.
The United Nations began promoting
environmental concerns in 1971
with the Conference on the
Human Environment in Founex,
Switzerland, organized by
Maurice Strong.
Maurice Strong was also
the Secretary-General
of the 1972 Stockholm Conference
on the Human Environment.
The 1972 Stockholm Conference
led to the creation of the
United Nations Environment
Programme
(UNEP)
with Maurice Strong
as its first Executive Director
(1971-1975).
In 1989 Maurice Strong
began preparations for the
began preparations for the
United Nations Conference
on Environment and Development
(UNCED),
held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992
(“The Earth Summit”).
Mr. Strong, a Canadian,
has made many statements
against the middle class
in the industrialized world.
Mr. Strong declared that:
"the United States
is clearly the greatest risk"
to the world’s ecological health"
... "in effect, the United States
is committing environmental
aggression against
the rest of the world."
The UN's IPCC
(Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change)
was formed in 1988
to assess “the scientific,
technical and socioeconomic
information relevant for the
understanding of the risk
of human-induced
climate change.”
At first, the IPCC defined
climate change as
“any change in climate over time,
whether due to natural variability
or as a result of human activity."
But the IPCC was mandated
by the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change
(UNFCCC)
to redefine climate change
as human-caused climate change,
and disregard naturally caused
climate change.
So "natural variability" has been ignored.
“Human-induced climate change”
was assumed, but never proven:
The IPCC has not provided
any scientific proof
that man made CO2
caused the global warming
from 1975 to 2000.
The IPCC relies on
computer climate models
based on their assumption
that anthropogenic (man made)
CO2 has controlled
the average temperature
the average temperature
of our planet since 1975.
Politicians decide which scientists
are allowed to participate in
the IPCC writing and review process.
As a result, the IPCC heavily relies
on environmental advocacy groups
when compiling its official reports.
The IPCC even uses
advocacy group personnel
as lead authors,
and sometimes uses
their publications
their publications
as source documents!
The well known IPCC's "Summary
for Policymakers" is the product
negotiations among governments,
and was not written by scientists
... whose back-up documents
are released months later,
hoping no one will read them
and compare them
with the Summary!
Before 1940, warming and cooling
were explained by natural factors,
even though people
have been adding CO2 to the air
since the late 1800s.
The IPCC blamed man made aerosols
(air pollution) for blocking sunlight,
and causing COOLING,
from 1940 to 1975.
from 1940 to 1975.
I guess all the aerosols
fell out of the sky in 1975,
because there was
WARMING from 1975 to 2000,
which was blamed
on man made CO2.
The IPCC has never
tried to explain
tried to explain
how 4.5 billion years
of natural climate change
of natural climate change
suddenly stopped in 1940.
There is no IPCC explanation
for one good reason:
Their claim is ridiculous,
so no logical explanation is possible.
The IPCC relies on computer models
based on the false claim that CO2
became the 'climate controller'
in 1975 -- and that's why the models
have made wrong climate predictions
for the past 30 years!
I have read newspaper articles
going back to the early 1900s
that feature climate scaremongering
- each time a scientist
receives media attention
by predicting a global cooling
or warming crisis
many years in the future.
In the mid-1970s, for example,
there were many media reports
about the coming ice age.
Scientists were involved
in that false scare,
but at the time
very few scientists
very few scientists
made long-term
climate predictions.
climate predictions.
Starting about ten years later,
anyone who wanted to be
called a "climate scientist",
and avoid character attacks
from intolerant leftists,
was pressured to claim
CO2 controls the climate,
and is dangerous
"carbon pollution".
"carbon pollution".
Both claims about CO2
are unproven,
are unproven,
and very likely to be false.
CO2 would not be dangerous
even if you assumed the worst case:
The worst case
would be to assume
would be to assume
100% of the warming
from 1975 to 2000
was caused ONLY by CO2.
Based on that worst case assumption,
a doubling of CO2 levels in the air
would only increase
the average temperature
of our planet by only +1 degree C.
(aka "Transient Climate Response"
to a doubling of CO2 levels.)
to a doubling of CO2 levels.)
And that small
+1 degree C. increase
+1 degree C. increase
would take 200 years
if CO2 levels grew 2% a year
(133 years, if CO2 levels grew 3% a year).
The demonization of fossil fuels
and CO2 emissions,
led by the United Nations,
is what I call:
is what I call:
"modern climate science".
Modern climate science
is junk science,
is junk science,
consisting of:
(1) Unproven assumptions,
(2) Speculations, and
(3) Computer game wild guess "predictions"
of the future climate that have been
wrong for 30 years, so far.
wrong for 30 years, so far.
Meanwhile, the actual climate
is wonderful,
is wonderful,
and getting better:
(A) The Earth is greening
from more CO2 in the air,
because CO2 is airborne plant food, and
(B) Nights are slightly warmer,
mainly in the northern half
of the Northern Hemisphere.
No one with sense believes (A) or (B)
are symptoms of a coming climate
catastrophe !
