The Extinction Rebellion
are demanding
that national governments
declare a climate emergency,
and reduce carbon dioxide
emissions to net zero
within six years.
They are not
interested in debate,
rational arguments,
facts, or the rule of law.
They believe they are
on a mission from god,
or "gaia".
In Brisbane, England,
they blocked traffic.
One group of people,
making a political point,
should not be allowed
to routinely prevent
other people from
getting to work,
or visiting their doctor.
They also blocked
a coal train
at the Port of Brisbane.
They are obsessed with their
own feelings of moral superiority.
They have a total disregard
for their fellow humans.
The Extinction Rebellion group
is barely a year old, and originated
in London.
It wants “citizens’ assemblies”
to supersede parliaments.
The protesters demand “action” now.
They are lawbreaking lunatics.
Are we supposed to pretend
the climate never changed
before we started burning coal ?
Should we pretend scientists
can predict the future climate
with great accuracy,
after 30 years of wrong
climate predictions ?
The United Nation's
IPCC Synthesis report
of 2014 said:
“It is extremely likely
that more than half
of the observed increase
in global average surface
temperature from 1951 to 2010
was caused by the
anthropogenic (man made)
increase in greenhouse gas
concentrations, and other
anthropogenic forcings together.”
This is an IPCC wild guess.
The correct number is
between 0% and 100%.
"More than half"
is just a guess.
Even if the IPCC
made a lucky guess,
and was right,
their statement
actually means
up to half
of the warming
from 1951
through 2010
was caused by
NATURAL climate
variations, and NOT
by man made
greenhouse gases.
