Some environmentalists
began predicting a coming
"Global Cooling"
climate catastrophe
in the 1970s.
Caused by smog from
industrial pollutants
blocking out sunlight,
so our planet would
enter a new ice age,
unless we acted quickly.
The predictions were wrong,
as usual.
By the 1980's we cleaned up
our air.
A new catastrophe
was then needed
to get attention
and study grants.
The new catastrophe:
was “Global Warming”.
Then in the 1990's,
environmentalists
began switching
their emphasis to
“Climate Change”.
The reason:
only warming
could be blamed on
"Global Warming"
but warming, cooling,
and every unusual
weather condition,
could be blamed on
"Climate Change" !
That means
“Climate Change”
could never
be disproved.
And that's why
"Climate Change"
is not real science.
For any theory
to be real science,
it must be falsifiable
( it can be proven wrong ).
"Climate Change"
is a constant feature
of our planet,
and has been for
4.5 billion years.
For the past
ten thousand years,
we’ve been living in
an interglacial period.
The pleasant climate
of interglacial periods
has tended to last
about ten to fifteen
thousand years.
“Climate Change”
is wrong predictions
of a climate catastrophe
from man made CO2,
and wild guess predictions
have nothing to do
with real science.
“Climate Change”
is really just
nothing more than
three decades
of fictional, scary
predictions of a
climate change
catastrophe,
that never
shows up !
Not one of the
many past
predictions
of doom,
has ever proven
to be correct.
Here are some examples:
1988, Dr. James Hansen.
-- Asked by author Rob Reiss
how the greenhouse effect
was likely to affect
the neighborhood
below Hansen’s office
in NYC, in the next 20 years.
Hansen replied:
-- “The West Side Highway
( which runs along the Hudson River )
will be under water."
Didn't happen !
Sept 19, 1989, St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
-- “New York will probably
be like Florida 15 years from now.”
Didn't happen !
1990, Michael Oppenheimer,
The Environmental Defense Fund:
-- “By 1996, the Platte River
of Nebraska would be dry,
while a continent-wide
black blizzard of prairie topsoil
will stop traffic on interstates,
strip paint from houses
and shut down computers.
… The Mexican police
will round up illegal
American migrants
surging into Mexico
seeking work
as field hands.”
Didn't happen !
October 15, 1990, Carl Sagan:
-- “The planet could face
an ecological and
agricultural catastrophe
by the next decade
if global warming
trends continue.”
Didn't happen !
1990, Actress Meryl Streep:
-- “By the year 2000
– that’s less than
ten years away
-- Earth’s climate
will be warmer
than it’s been
in over 100,000 years.
If we don’t do something,
there’ll be enormous calamities
in a very short time.”
Didn't happen !
July 26, 1999, The Birmingham Post:
-- “Scientists are warning
that some of the
Himalayan glaciers
could vanish
within ten years
because of
global warming.
A build-up
of greenhouse gases
is blamed
for the meltdown,
which could lead to
drought and flooding
in the region affecting
millions of people.”
Didn't happen !
April 1, 2000, Der Spiegel:
“Good bye winter.
Never again snow?”
Didn't happen !
March 29, 2001, CNN:
-- “In ten years’ time,
most of the low-lying
atolls surrounding
Tuvalu’s nine islands
in the South
Pacific Ocean
will be submerged
under water
as global warming
rises sea levels.”
Didn't happen !
Oct 20, 2009, Gordon Brown,
UK Prime Minister
( referring to the Copenhagen
climate conference ):
-- “World leaders
have 50 days
to save the Earth
from irreversible
global warming.”
Didn't happen !
There is a nonscientific
explanation for the leftist
“Climate Change” cult
and their scary fairy tales.
That explanation
involves the many
billions of dollars
that proponents
have demanded
for solving this
fake “problem.”
