Thank you for visiting.
My goal here is to use
the minimal available
real climate science
(most climate science is
"we don't know yet science")
to reach
a logical
conclusion:
Adding carbon dioxide
to the atmosphere
is good news,
if done with
clean burning
fossil fuels,
very common in the US,
but not as common in China
Adding more CO2
to the air was, inadvertently,
the best thing
humans have ever done
to improve our planet,
accelerating
the growth rates
of the "C3" plants,
used for food
by humans
and animals.
Greenhouse owners use
CO2 enrichment to
accelerate their plant growth.
CO2 enrichment
is good news
for greenhouses,
and good news
for our planet too.
I don't know anything about who visits
this free, public service blog, except for
the three most popular URLs
that people visited
just before they came here.
Google was never in
the top three
except for a short time
in the past few months --
leading to many thousands
of page views
coming from www.Google.com
Then someone at Google
may have looked
at the content here,
decided this is
an evil blog, and now
you couldn't find
this blog on Google
if you wanted to !
Here you will be told
that carbon dioxide
is a beneficial plant food,
and not an evil gas.
Here you will be told that
the amount of greenhouse warming
caused by CO2, is unknown,
but if we merely assume
that ALL the warming
since 1950
was caused
ONLY by CO2,
and extrapolate
that warming rate forward,
then adding CO2
to the air
would only increase
the average
global temperature
by +1 degree C.,
in the next 200 years,
with CO2 up
+2ppm per year,
which means CO2
is totally harmless.
In addition,
any greenhouse warming,
would be mainly at night,
in the six coldest months
of the year, and in the colder,
higher latitudes -- where
night time, winter warming
would be celebrated by the
few people who live there !
Why do leftists have
a completely different story
( their climate change fairy tale )
that they have been bloviating about
since the late 1970's?
Because if people can be convinced
that CO2 is evil, then governments
can seize strong control over
fossil fuel use in the private sector.
And that means we get
much more powerful
central governments,
that socialists and Marxists
have always wanted.
Not because they love power,
and want to micro-manage your life,
because those motives
would be "wrong" (heh heh)
-- the leftists "only" want
more government power
to 'save the Earth
for our children'.
That leftist claim
is a complete fabrication,
but it works
on a lot of people.
The average temperature
of our planet
has barely changed
in the past 138 years,
since 1880
-- government bureaucrats
with science degrees
claim there was
+1 degree C.
of global warming,
but never mention
there were few
Southern Hemisphere
measurements
before World War II.
And they claim
a false +/- 0.1 degree
margin of error,
when an honest
margin of error
can not be calculated,
but must be
at least +/- 1.0 degree C. !
Even today,
a majority
of the surface
of our planet,
divided into grids,
has no temperature data,
or is missing
temperature data.
But you can't calculate a global
average temperature without a
number for each
5 degree latitude
by 5 degree longitude grid,
so the smarmy
government bureaucrats
wild guess
the missing numbers,
and you can like it,
or lump it !
Modern climate
"science",
is junk science,
and I do not like
being lied to
( one reason I rarely listen
to political speeches,
from any party ).
I did some writing
as a hobby,
before this blog:
A subscribers-only
economics newsletter,
since 1977, and a blog
to supplement that letter,
since 2008.
I only wrote two
climate change articles
in my economics newsletter,
in 2007 and 2014
-- I started this blog just to
update the 2014 article
for my subscribers,
and later decided
to make it a free
blog for anyone interested
in real climate science
-- not the usual
leftist scaremongering
about "climate change"
and wrong predictions
about the future climate !
