Here's the first
climate science article
I wrote in 2019
-- carbon dioxide
is our friend,
not our enema !
There is no
scientific proof
that carbon dioxide
is responsible for
any of the
mild, harmless
global warming
during the past
150 years.
In the smarmy
leftist world
of junk science,
merely asserting
something,
when stated
with confidence,
makes it "true" !
If you WANTED
to believe that 100%
of the global warming
since 1950 was caused
by man made CO2,
that's a harmless rate
of global warming,
that would add
a mere +1 degree C.
to the average temperature
in the next 200 years !
Without CO2
in the air,
Earth would be
a dead planet.
Yet many fools
on the left
falsely claim
that CO2,
the staff of life,
is a pollutant,
that will destroy life !
People with
science degrees,
on government payrolls,
claim that carbon dioxide
was about 280 ppm
( ppm = parts per million )
at the beginning
of the Industrial
Revolution,
based on analyses
of air bubbles trapped
in Antarctica ice cores.
Yet additional information,
about past temperatures,
derived from
the same ice cores,
are completely ignored
by those bureaucrats !
Most of the CO2 rise,
from 280 ppm then,
to 410 ppm today,
was very likely
to have been
caused by human
CO2 emissions
from burning
fossil fuels.
Real climate science
does not deny
obvious facts.
Real climate science
does question
the claim that
adding CO2 to the air
is harmful -- in fact,
adding CO2 to the air
is beneficial
for our planet,
when the fossil fuels
are "burned cleanly".
"Burned cleanly"
means a Chinese family
burning soft coal to heat
their home, will be adding
far too much pollution
to the air, along with
the beneficial CO2.
Real science
does not consider
all byproducts
of burning
fossil fuels
to be "pollution."
That's only
the conclusion
of junk science,
also known as
"fake science".
The world’s top
"climate body",
The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change,
has a mandate
from the United Nations,
to blame climate change
on human activity.
They ignore the
4.5 billion years of
Earth's natural
climate change,
that had nothing to do
with man made CO2 !
Of course the IPCC
would NOT be needed
if they ever declared
the truth:
The mild
global warming
since 1975,
has been mainly
at night, mainly in the
colder months,
mainly in the higher,
colder latitudes,
and has been
completely
harmless !
In ice core studies,
CO2 level peaks
FOLLOWED
temperature peaks,
by an average
of 800 years,
during the past
400,000 years,
indicating that
temperature changes
are actually the CAUSE,
of CO2 level changes !
That's why government
bureaucrat "scientists"
never mention temperatures
derived from ice core studies !
Those climate alarmists
ignore real science
to declare that CO2
is CAUSING the change
in temperature,
completely ignoring
those ice core study
conclusions that don't fit
their pre-existing beliefs !
Despite one-third
of all man made
CO2 emissions
being released
into the atmosphere
since 1998,
there has been
virtually no
global warming
from 1998
through 2018,
when measured
by weather satellites !
Don't expect to hear
that fact from your
smarmy government
bureaucrats !
Nor will you hear any other
"inconvenient facts" !
The IPCC states it is
“extremely likely”
human emissions
have been the
dominant cause
of global warming
“since the mid-20th century”
( since 1950 )
The IPCC also claims
that “extremely likely”
means 95% certain,
even though
the number 95
was plucked
from the air,
like magic.
“Likely” is not
a scientific word
-- it's just an opinion.
The IPCC
accidentally
told the truth
about real
climate science
back in 2007:
“We should
recognize
that we are
dealing with a
coupled, nonlinear,
chaotic, system,
( the climate )
and therefore
the long-term
prediction of
future climate states
is not possible.”
The past
150 million years
had a steady
reduction of CO2
in the atmosphere.
Even at the today’s
CO2 concentration
of 410 ppm,
most green plants
are relatively starved
for CO2 ( nutrition ).
The optimum level
of CO2 for plant growth,
of those "C3" plants
used for food, is
is 2 to 5 times higher
than the 410 ppm today !
In recent decades,
we have had a wonderful
“Greening of the Earth”,
as higher levels of CO2,
due to human emissions
from burning fossil fuels,
promoted increased growth
of plants around the world.
If humans
had not unlocked
some of the carbon
previously stored
underground,
as fossil fuels,
life on Earth
would have eventually
been starved of this
essential nutrient
for plant growth ( CO2 ).
Human activity put
some of the carbon
back in the atmosphere,
that was taken out
of the atmosphere
long ago, by being
locked underground
in the Earth’s crust,
as dead plants,
and dead animals
( oil, coal & natural gas ).
We can be certain,
based on thousands
of real science
experiments,
and many decades
of greenhouse owners
implementing
"CO2 enrichment",
that higher levels
of CO2 in the air,
will result in
increased
plant growth
and biomass.
Human emissions
of carbon dioxide
have saved life
on planet Earth
from slower
plant growth,
due to the
low level of CO2,
which especially
affects the
"C3" plants
used for food
by people
and animals.
Society has been misled
by the smarmy leftists
about many subjects.
One example
is the false claim
that the current
CO2 level,
and global average
temperature,
are too high,
when, in fact,
the opposite
is true.
The carbon dioxide
added to the atmosphere,
from burning fossil fuels,
benefits our planet,
and is NOT a pollutant !
There are plenty
of real pollutants
to worry about --
but CO2 is NOT
one of them !
