Gullible people
accept the premise
that our world faces
a climate apocalypse
if CO2 emissions
are not brought to zero.
The truth is much different:
The current climate
is wonderful,
and has been getting better
for hundreds of years, and
There will be no apocalypse,
because adding CO2
to the air is beneficial
to the air is beneficial
-- it 'greens' the Earth.
And if CO2 does cause
some global warming,
which is an assumption,
without scientific proof,
that global warming
would be beneficial too:
-- Mainly at night,
-- Mainly in the
six coldest months
six coldest months
of the year, and
-- Mainly in the colder,
higher latitudes !
higher latitudes !
CO2 in the atmosphere
is believed to disrupt
Earth's infrared cooling
mainly at night,
especially in areas
with low humidity
( which are typically
the higher latitudes,
in the winter ).
Water vapor
is the primary
is the primary
greenhouse gas --
so CO2 will have
very little effect
in warm, humid
areas.
areas.
Last week, the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
released a special report
that was about 800 pages long.
It is an 800-page pile of
steaming, farm animal,
digestive waste products,
to use a scientific term !
It starts by telling us that
the global average temperature
is now roughly +1.0 degrees C.
above the pre-industrial temperature,
which is a VERY rough estimate,
with few Southern Hemisphere
measurements before WWII ...
... but it never mentions that
surface temperature data
are so haphazard, that the
average temperature change
since 1880, could easily be
anywhere from zero degrees
to +2 degrees C.
anywhere from zero degrees
to +2 degrees C.
The rest of the report
is wild speculation
ignoring climate history --
such failing to describe
the benefits of
at least +2 degrees C.
of global warming,
that has already happened,
since the unusually cold
"Maunder Minimum"
period in the late 1600s.
The UN report claims
we’re seeing an increase
in extreme weather
... but that's not true.
The UN report claims
receding sea ice in the Arctic,
and rising global sea levels,
are very bad news
... but that's not true.
Both have been
happening for
20,000 years,
so man made CO2
could not have been
the cause of the
first 19,900 years,
first 19,900 years,
of that 20,000 year
warming period ...
... not to mention
that Arctic ice
is floating ice,
so when it melts,
it has no effect
on sea level !
The report says
a +1.5 degrees C.
average temperature
increase
would be worse than
a +1.0 degree C.
increase,
and +2 degrees C.
would be worse
than that.
In fact, none of them
would be bad news !
In fact, none of them
would be bad news !
The report claims that
we’re currently on track
to exceed +3 degrees C.
... but that's not true.
In fact,
the average global
temperature warming
rate since 1950,
temperature warming
rate since 1950,
if assumed to be 100%
caused by CO2
( this would be
a worst case estimate,
because there is
no proof that
a worst case estimate,
because there is
no proof that
any of the warming
was caused by CO2 ),
has been
a warming rate
a warming rate
of only +1 degree C.
in 200 years
( assuming CO2
continues to rise
at 2ppm per year ) !
Only drastic changes
in the world economy
can prevent a calamity,
we are told.
“If you would like
to stabilize
global warming
to +1.5 degrees C.,
the key message is that
net CO2 emissions
at the global scale
must reach zero by 2050,”
said panelist
Valerie Masson-Delmotte,
a French climate scientist
and research director at the
French Alternative Energies
French Alternative Energies
and Atomic Energy Commission.
“That’s the most important finding
of the report.”
Without these
substantial CO2 reductions,
we’re told, millions will die.
That's complete nonsense !
Adding CO2 to the air
benefits humans by
accelerating plant growth,
just like greenhouse owners
already do, spending
their own money
for 'CO2 enrichment' !
The report
made it clear
that fossils fuel
—oil, gas, and coal—
which the world
heavily depends on,
have to be phased out,
especially coal,
because it has
the highest
carbon content
of all the fossil fuels.
The UN’s latest
science fiction effort
is a “scare report".
These wild guess
climate claims
climate claims
are intended
to scare us.
Never mind that scientists
and environmentalists
have a horrible track record
with their dire predictions,
they are batting .000 !
Leftist governments
are very skilled
at using false threats
to expand their power.
The report’s conclusions
strongly imply that
governments of the world
must drastically
ramp up regulation
of the free market
to save us.
State action
is claimed to be
the primary solution
for the coming
catastrophe.
But the
coming catastrophe,
predicted every year,
for 30 years so far,
is a fairy tale:
because CO2 is a
false boogeyman.
false boogeyman.
No catastrophe
is coming.
I'd like to remind you,
that many horrors
of the 20th century,
came from the ideas
of intellectuals, "experts",
and utopian-ists.
Millions of
innocent lives
innocent lives
were sacrificed
in leftist schemes
to improve humanity,
mainly Communism,
Nazism (national socialism),
and socialism.
