The phrase "Climate Change"
was used by the UN when it
set up the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),
to lead an effort to prove
humans caused climate change.
The UN's Maurice Strong
had a goal for the UN to become
a "one-world-government",
in charge of the world's
climate, with the IPCC
providing scientific proof
of a coming climate
change catastrophe,
from humans adding
CO2 to the atmosphere.
We are still waiting for
actual scientific proof,
beyond the current
"because we say so,
and we've said so
every year since 1988" !
The prior 4.5 billion years
of natural climate change,
was NOT a subject the IPCC
was directed to study.
There had been some scientists,
since the late 1950's, especially
Al Gore's hero, Roger Revelle,
who predicted a global warming
crisis from adding CO2 to the air,
caused by humans burning fossil fuels.
Scientists noticed Revelle got
a lot of attention, government
grants and government jobs,
when stating with confidence,
that rising CO2 was going to
cause a future climate crisis.
Those who predicted the future
climate would be very bad news,
would get the money !
So more and more scientists
began to predict a coming
climate catastrophe !
People who want to be
climate scientists today
HAVE TO believe in a
coming climate catastrophe.
The problem with that belief,
is that it's been over 60 years
since the CO2 "boogeyman"
was created by Mr. Revelle,
yet we are still waiting for
a climate catastrophe ...
or even a minor problem !
Our planet is about
+0.6 degrees C. warmer
than it was in 1940,
due to irregular warming,
mainly at higher latitudes,
mainly at night, and
mainly during the six
coldest months
of the year.
of the year.
That's no catastrophe !
I'd say it's good news.
I'd say it's good news.
And there has been almost
no warming from 2003 to
the end of 2018, so you
can't claim global warming
is accelerating, unless you
are a liar !
What can you say about
climate change, if you are
honest and unbiased:
The warming has been mild,
harmless, and is decelerating.
But people who call themselves
climate scientists can't say that
-- they can only make scary,
wild guess predictions of a
coming climate catastrophe
... that never shows up.
And that's why
"Climate Change"
is junk science !
Real climate science
doesn't include wild guess,
always wrong, predictions
of a coming climate
catastrophe.
One reason is that real
climate science despises
wrong predictions -- they
would never be repeated
year-after-year, for over
60 years, as done in the
"Climate Change"
junk science business !
Real climate science has
a focus on the actual past
climate -- determining what
it was, using proxies for
temperature and CO2 data,
such as Antarctica ice cores,
and trying to explain
what caused past changes
in the climate.
Real science has no explanation
for what factors cause the
mild warming and cooling,
of one or two degrees C.,
over a century or two.
20,000 years ago, Chicago, Detroit,
and 95% of Canada, were covered
by thick ice glaciers.
That fact is certain.
Those glaciers melted,
helping raise sea level
by +400 feet.
That melting was not
caused by CO2 in the air !
Natural climate change
melted the glaciers --
a huge climate change.
It was beneficial
global warming
-- 100% good news !
Only future, imaginary
global warming
is ALWAYS claimed
to be 100% bad news !
It's most likely that
the glaciers melted
in roughly 10,000 years.
Climate proxy studies
consistently suggest that
after the glaciers melted,
the average temperature
of our planet was warm
for the first time, in a
long time.
That "Holocene Optimum"
warm period started
about 9.000 to 10,000
years ago.
It was most likely
warmer than today !
And there is a
likely explanation:
The Milankovitch
Cycle Theory,
concerning
planetary
geometry.
If local proxy data,
as a group of data points,
added together,
gives us a good picture
gives us a good picture
of the entire planet,
then Earth has
been cooling for
roughly 8,000 years.
And that could be
explained by the
Milankovitch Cycle
Theory too:
Earth’s orbit has
been pulling us away
from the sun,
and Earth’s axial tilt
has increasingly
been away from
the sun.
If Earth has cooled
in the past 8,000 years,
and the evidence for
that is strong,
it would be misleading
for me to claim we've had
"20,000 years of global warming".
"20,000 years of global warming".
We are currently living
in the very pleasant
Holocene interglacial,
which is about 10,000
years old.
Per ice core studies:
One or two degrees C.
of mild global warming,
followed by mild cooling,
over one or more centuries,
were common during interglacials,
( the warm periods )
of a Milankovitch Cycle,
and interglacials last about
10,000 to 15,000 years.
Those harmless,
one or two degree
minor changes of the
average temperature,
seem to make most
leftists hysterical,
assuming they were
not hysterical to begin
with !
Minor, harmless climate changes
get all of the media attention,
for no logical reason !
In the mainstream media,
you'll never be exposed to
a serious climate science
article about the Holocene
interglacial, or the Holocene
Optimum,
They only present scary,
wild guess predictions,
of a coming climate
change catastrophe,
that will never happen.
Those fairy tales started
in the late 1950's, and they
accelerated after the
UN's IPCC was launched
in the late 1980s.
The mass media won't present
calm, real climate science studies,
calm, real climate science studies,
that try to explain the
past climate on our planet !
But you can read
my next article, on the
Holocene Optimum,
for a summary of real
climate science studies
... about the climate
that actually happened
on our planet.
I apologize in advance,
because there won't be any
exciting, scary predictions
of a future climate catastrophe
in the next article,
Reason:
Wild guess predictions
are junk science
(aka "Climate Change"),
not real science !
