SUMMARY:
Climate alarmists claim
fossil fuel use makes
a safe climate dangerous.
In reality, fossil fuels
used for heating and
electricity, make a
dangerous climate safe.
DETAILS:
Seven billion people
in the world need
cheap, reliable energy
to prosper.
Three industries
achieved this
on a large scale:
-- The hydrocarbon (fossil fuel) industry,
-- The nuclear industry, and
-- The hydroelectric power industry.
The energy industry powers
every other industry.
Nuclear and hydroelectric
industries can substitute
for fossil fuels, but both are
opposed by environmentalists.
Hydro is limited by the
lack of suitable locations.
Nuclear has much more
opposition, for no logical
reason.
It is an proven fact
that the greenhouse effect
of CO2 is a diminishing,
logarithmic effect;
Each molecule of CO2
"warms" less than the last.
The belief that
CO2 increases
will cause runaway
global warming is a
wild guess fantasy.
Global average
temperatures
and CO2 levels
are near
all-time lows
from a very long
term geological
perspective,
Warming has
been almost
universally
desired among
civilizations, with
cold-related deaths
far greater than
heat-related deaths.
Life thrives under
warmer conditions.
The fertilizing effect
of CO2 is significant,
yet usually by climate
alarmists.
They also ignore the
fact that greenhouses
use CO2 enrichment
systems to double or
triple the CO2 level
inside the greenhouses.
Satellite data show
large increases
in plant growth in
uninhabited locations
as CO2 levels cause
a 'greening' of our planet.
The international disaster
database, which tracks
climate-related deaths --
including deaths
from flood, droughts,
extreme heat,
extreme cold, storms,
and wildfires--shows a
98% decrease in the
rate of climate-related
deaths since significant
CO2 emissions began
about 80 years ago.
