There is very little debate
about climate change.
One side has been predicting
a coming climate crisis
since the late 1950's,
and using compputer models
to make similar predictions
in the past 30 years.
They falsely insist

They falsely insist
the “science is settled.”
To "prove" that claim,
they designed

Very far from reality.
The average computer model
predicted triple the warming
that actually happened.

With over 60 years
of wrong climate
change predictions,
and over 30 years
of wrong climate
model predictions,
and over 30 years
of wrong climate
model predictions,
how can the science
be settled ?
There's no scientific proof
increased CO2 will result
in disaster.
CO2 has been higher
during most of the
history of life on Earth,
than it is today (410 ppm).
There's no scientific proof
increased CO2 will cause
any problem.
If you want to worry,
then worry about
CO2 levels sinking lower.

There was a

loss of CO2 from

starting 550 million

CO2 at about 7,000ppm,
to the lowest level
of CO2, at about 200ppm
during the peak cold
during the peak cold
of the last glaciation,
about 20,000 years ago.
The present Holocene
interglacial warm period
has already endured longer
than some previous
interglacial periods.
The beginning of the
next glaciation may be
a relatively short time
from now.
In fact, there's a
strong argument
that the Earth
is already in
a cooling trend,
that started
10,000 years ago,
after the glaciers
that covered
most of Canada
had melted.
The peak temperature
in this Holocene
interglacial period
was during the
Holocene Optimum
between 8,000 and
10,000 years ago.
The Little Ice Age,
which was coldest
about 300 years ago,
was probably
the coldest period
of climate since the
Holocene Optimum.
A somewhat warmer world,
with a higher level of CO2
in the atmosphere,
would result in
a greener world,
with more plant biomass,
higher yields of food crops
and trees, and a milder climate
in northern latitudes.
That would be good news,
not an "existential threat".
CO2 is essential for life.
Many people don't
know that and believe
know that and believe
a global warming crisis
is already in progress.
But the “pause”
in global warming,
since 2003,
contradicts
their belief that
higher CO2 levels
must lead to higher
temperatures.
The optimum CO2 level
for plant growth
is above 1,000 ppm.
CO2 has been
above 1,000 ppm
for most of the
history of life,
so what sense
does it make
to call for
a reduction in
the CO2 level,
from the
current 410ppm,

current 410ppm,
with absolutely
no evidence
