We have about 78 years
of experience with rising
CO2 levels and mild,
intermittent global warming
(from roughly 1940 through 2018).
The UN's IPCC guesses
that a small percentage
of that global warming
was caused by burning
fossil fuels.
All we really know
is the correct percentage
is between 0% and 100%.
Here's what we do know
about past global warming:
(1) No one was hurt.
(2) Our planet is ‘greening’.
(3) The northern half of
the Northern Hemisphere,
is still a cold region,
but had more warming
than anywhere else.
(1), (2) and (3) add up to
100% good news.
There's no logical reason
to expect the next 78 years
of climate change
to be 100% bad news,
much different than
the past 78 years !
But that is exactly
what we have been told
by climate alarmists
since the 1970's.
How many more decades
should we continue
to believe the climate
scaremongering ?
The most likely worst case
concerning climate change
is not what people think !
The worst case
for climate change
would be a new law
to implement the
Green New Deal,
or a similar leftist
fantasy that reads
like a brand new
Communist Manifesto !
The Green New Deal is
an infeasible, extremely
expensive, overreaction
to a non-existent
climate problem,
that is always "coming",
but never shows up !
The "coming"
climate catastrophe
exists ONLY in
overactive leftist
imaginations.
They have programmed
their unproven theories into
computer games (models)
to make them appear
"scientific".
But the computer games
are not real science:
They have been making
grossly inaccurate climate
predictions for the past 30+ years.
In real science, wrong predictions
falsify a theory -- in climate junk
science wrong theories live
forever, like climate zombies !
Two of my
favorite
“philosophers”
understood
the politics of
climate change
many decades ago:
(1)
“Politics is the art
of looking for trouble,
finding it everywhere,
diagnosing it incorrectly,
and applying
the wrong remedies.”
Groucho Marx
(2)
” … the whole aim of practical politics
is to keep the populace alarmed
(and hence clamorous to be led to safety)
by menacing it with an endless series
of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
H. L. Mencken,
from "In Defense of Women" (1918)
