Six important
climate science
points made at this:
"The Honest Global
Warming Chart blog"
(1)
Earth's climate has been
in a mild, intermittent
global warming trend
since the late 1600s.
78 of those years,
1940 through 1978,
included a large rise
of atmospheric CO2.
That means humans
have lots of experience
with global warming,
both with, and without,
significant CO2 increases.
The warming has always been
mild, intermittent and harmless.
There is no logical reason
to predict FUTURE warming
will be strong, continuous,
and harmful, completely
unlike PAST warming.
(2)
If we continue to add
CO2 to the atmosphere,
the climate will eventually
be optimum for green plant
growth
( they prefer 800 to
1,200 parts per million
of CO2 in the air,
vs. 410 ppm today).
(3)
The claim that CO2 levels
"control the climate"
ignores reality:
From 1940 through 2018,
there was positive correlation
of CO2 levels and the global
average temperature
only from 1975 to 2005.
( using the best available
temperature measurements ).
If CO2 levels
really "controlled
the climate",
every decade
would have had
global warming !
(4)
No one can predict
the climate 100 years
in the future, or 1 year,
because the causes
of climate change
are not known
with any precision.
(5)
The global average temperature
of Earth's surface has remained
in a narrow one degree C.
range since records were kept
139 years ago ( 1880 ).
Closer to a 0.5 degree C. range,
based only on the raw data,
ignoring the many questionable
“adjustments” of historical
temperature data,
made in recent decades.
( Note: the global temperature range
I used excludes brief, local heat peaks
from El Nino temperature spikes,
in 1998 and late 2015 / early 2016
-- El Nino's are natural, cyclical
heat releases from the Pacific Ocean,
not caused by CO2. )
(6)
The claim that
adding more CO2
to the atmosphere
will cause runaway
warming is unproven
science fraud.
Earth's history
includes CO2 levels
higher than today
most of the time,
and there was no
runaway warming
when the CO2 levels
were much higher
than today,
or we would not be here
to debate climate science !
