Rappin' About Climate Change -- Part 3

INTRODUCTION:

Rappin' about 

climate change

is fun to write:

No notes.

No data tables.

No charts.

No second draft !

if you'd prefer a more

professional rap, 

the best rap song 

I have ever heard,

which has nothing 

to do with the climate,

of course, is so emotional,

it made me cry 

the first time I heard it, 

which I suppose 

is pretty lame:
Tupac Shakur
"Dear Mama"

THE  POLITICS:

The "trained parrots" of leftism,

don't care about real climate science.

You know that because 

instead of welcoming debate,

they attack other points of view.

That means climate cult leftists

have become the fascists of our time.

I've been criticized, more than once,

for calling leftists'  "parrots".

I did NOT call them "parrots"

-- I called them "trained parrots",

which is a big difference.

I was a Democrat 

in the 1960s,

and early 1970s 

-- I didn't leave the party, 

the party left me.

The once anti-government 

Democrat party, at least 

during the awful Vietnam War,

morphed into a pro-government

party.

The only "climate debate" 

leftists engage in now,

is with each other, on

how much money to spend, 

and how fast to spend it !

MORE  CO2  

IN  THE  AIR

is good news !

I've summarized 

many sentific studies 

in the past month, 

maybe too many,

showing how extra CO2, 

and warmer weather,

improves life on this planet.

There are over 3,000 studies

to make that point -- I've only

summarized some recent ones.

Of course greenhouse owners

around the world have known 

about CO2 enrichment

for many decades -- 

that's why they buy 

equipment and fuel

to increase the CO2 level 

inside their greenhouses, 

to at least 1,000 ppm,

compared with about 

400 ppm outdoors.

Clueless leftists would have 

you think that's a mistake:

' What could greenhouse owners 

possibly know about growing plants ? '

"C3 plants", often used for food, 

evolved in a climate averaging

roughly 1,000 ppm CO2.

The "C4 plants", some of which 

are used for food, were thought

to NOT benefit from more CO2, 

and would be HURT

by higher temperatures.

Two 2019 studies 

summarized on this blog

recently, experimented with 

the very important C4 plant, 

corn  ( called maize elsewhere ), 

and found those beliefs were wrong !

SUMMARY:

The "coming" climate change crisis,

is NOT coming -- it's 99% politics, 

and only 1% real science.

Gross overreactions 

to this fake crisis,

such as the ultra-extreme

Green New (or)Deal,

that reads like the 

Communist Manifesto,

are the real existential threat.

Groucho Marx, 

my second favorite 

"philosopher",

understood politics:

“Politics is the art 

of looking for trouble, 

finding it everywhere, 

diagnosing it incorrectly, 

and applying 

the wrong remedies.” 

Groucho Marx

There is no debate 

about climate change

among leftists,

and no doubt, 

just like religious

people have no doubt 

that a "god" exists, 

along with a "heaven" 

and "hell".

Proof does not matter

-- they just believe !

As a long time atheist, 

beliefs based on faith

are all nonsense to me. 

I see the climate change 

cult as just another religion,

based on faith.

I know what I've just said

could offend over 90%

of the people living on 

this planet -- but I'm in the 

small minority who does not 

believe in things without proof.

Especially predictions 

of the future.

Meanwhile, as a libertarian

since 1973, I have read

many examples of a more

powerful government,

causing more problems

than a smaller less powerful

central government.

Powerful governments killed

over 100 million people

in the twentieth century --

I suppose that's not taught

in schools anymore.

Tthey would never criticize

the powerful socialist

and Communist governments,

of the past century, that were 

killing machines.

There's pressure on ordinary 

people, throughout the world,

to do everything the leftists 

tell us to do, without question.

That offends me 

a lot more than 

President Trump 

grossly exaggerating

his success(s) 

in a speech,

and I find that 

pretty offensive !

I suppose I have 

now offended

95% of the people 

living on this planet !

But I'm not here to say

the "right things" 

to make friends,

or the "right things"

to get page views 

I'm writing this blog 

as a public service,

summarizing climate 

science reading that

I would be doing anyway,

as one of my hobbies.

I prefer common sense 

about climate science, 

using simple language.

I never ignore the 

obvious leftist politics, 

encouraging the

junk science of scary,

wild guess, always wrong,

"the science is settled,

so we won't debate you,

you right wing climate denier",

climate predictions.

The climate in our world

is better than it has been

in many hundreds of years, 

for human health 

and prosperity.

Also the best climate 

in hundreds of years

for our planet's animals.

The animals include 

my black cat, 

Mr. Sneaky, 

who I have never 

mentioned here,

except for the time

he ate my papers,

and now he's had 

his one minute of fame.

Instead of allowing us

to enjoy a slightly warmer 

more pleasant climate, 

the smarmy leftists

are deliberately, 

for ulterior motives,

telling everyone 

willing to listen,

that the climate 

is not good at all --

it is bad, getting worse, 

and a climate crisis 

is coming in the future

... unless we do everything

leftists say, without question.

I'm not very good at 

following orders

( ask the wifey ),

especially those

from leftist climate

science deniers, 

who confuse their

computer game 

climate astrology, 

with real science !

The original fake news

is the coming global 

warming crisis.

The 'weapons of mass 

destruction in Iraq' 

was fake news that 

killed a lot of people.

The 'Russian Collusion 

Delusion' is fake news 

unsuccessfully used 

to "fix" the 2016 election, 

and will be used  

for the next few years 

to impeach, or at least

threaten impeachment, 

of President Trump.

But the coming global 

warming crisis is unique:

 It's long term fake news, 

lasting over 30 years, 

so far.

That's a long time 

for baloney to last !

The global warming crisis,

has since been renamed

as the "climate change" crisis,

so every unusual weather 

event can be falsely blamed 

on "climate change".

DETAILS:

"Climate change" is a huge

multi-trillion dollar industry,

that will defend their 

fake "science" 

( aka junk science )

with massive spending 

on politicians, called

"campaign donations".

Meanwhile, let's consider 

what has actually happened,

as humans added a lot

of carbon dioxide to the air,

after the Great Depression 

ended.

Even with very haphazard 

measurements before 1950,

and temperature data 

frequently "adjusted"

to create a greater

warming rate, 

the global average 

temperature increased 

only about +0.6 degrees C.

in the 78 years, 

from 1940 through 2018.

That warming 

was intermittent:

  There was no warming 

from 1940 to 1975, and 

the year 2018 

was no warmer

than the year 2002.

Not what you should expect

from greenhouse gas warming.

The warming did NOT affect

both cold, dry poles the most,

as you should expect from

greenhouse gas warming:

  The Arctic had lots of warming, 

but Antarctica had none, 

since roughly 1980.

The main warming trend

since 1975, has been 

warmer nights in the 

coldest six months 

of the year, mainly 

in the northern half of 

the Northern Hemisphere.

That's not a climate crisis

-- it's a better climate,

something  to celebrate,

and want more of !

Why have so many people

in the world been convinced

a climate change crisis is 

coming, when,

for over 30 years,

their own climate 

has been getting better ?

Probably for the same reason 

that so many people were 

convinced, primarily in the

United States and Germany,

that some races of people

were superior to others,

the inferior races

were multiplying too fast,

and mental hospital

patients should be 

forcibly sterilized.

( the fake science of eugenics ).

And that reason,

is that most people 

are not very bright

-- half have 

below average

intelligence.

And many other people 

are easily swayed 

by politicians, who spend 

most of their lives lying

and misleading people

( both major parties ).

The politicians love to have 

a "crisis", so their government

can jump in, expand their power,

and "fight" the crisis.

The crisis does NOT have to be real,

like the attacks by radical Muslims were.

The claimed coming crisis

only has to be BELIEVED.

For leftist politicians, 

an ideal "crisis" hurts no one, 

and "will happen" far in the future,

so experiencing the alleged

effects will require a long wait.

Yet leftists never want to wait

to see if they are right

-- they always claim

there's no time for debate,

because "we must act now ! "

A fake crisis exists only 

in overactive imaginations, 

but can be"fought" 

by central governments

as if it was really coming.

The fake climate change crisis

has empowered governments,

just as much as the real crisis

of radical Muslim attacks has.

In the US, we have a 

government that declares

CO2 is a "pollutant", even 

though CO2 is the staff of life,

mandatory to support 

photosynthesis, and life,

on our planet.

And in spite of the fact that 

the atmospheric CO2 level 

is near the lowest it has ever

been on our planet, we have

people declaring the unusually

a low CO2 level, in roughly 1750, 

is the "right" level.

And the scientific proof of that is:

BECAUSE  THEY  SAY  SO !

The climate alarmists 

falsely claim 

fossil fuels are evil,

and we must stop 

adding CO2 

to the atmosphere,

even though 

modern economies

are based on 

the low priced,

consistent energy

from fossil fuels.

No one ever summed up 

this fake climate science 

better than the now retired

MIT climate science professor, 

Richard Lindzen, PhD, in 2009 

( his unusually long

"PhD sentence",

is displayed here

in a unique format, 

for easier reading ):

“Future generations 

will wonder, in bemused 

amazement, that the early 

twenty-first century’s 

developed world, 

went into a hysterical panic, 

over a globally averaged 

temperature increase, 

of a few tenths of a degree, 

and, on the basis of

gross exaggerations, 

of highly uncertain 

computer projections, 

combined into implausible 

chains of inference, 

proceeded to contemplate 

a roll-back of the industrial age.”

member of the National Academy of Sciences, 

and former lead author, U.N. Intergovernmental 

Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
