I doubt if
I've changed
the minds of any
climate alarmists.
Some go berserk
as soon as they see
the honest global
warming chart
on the home page
... and immediately
leave !
My goal is to refute
the climate change
scaremongering,
and science fraud.
Changing climate
alarmist minds
is near impossible.
Skeptics getting a
basic understanding
of climate science
soon find out there are
a lot of unanswered
questions, and real
climate scientists have
no ability to predict
the future climate.
Maybe someday
they will, but not now.
And that was lesson one !
Lesson two is some
simple concepts that
require no numbers.
Rather than learning
anything about the
current and past climate,
climate alarmists are
debating how much
of the taxpayers'
money should be
spent on "fighting"
climate change,
and how fast
all the money
should be spent.
You'd think
"climate change"
was all about money
and political power.
Well, it is !
But based
on science,
of course?
Well ... there's very little
real science, yet the
climate alarmists claim
"the science is settled".
"The science is settled"
may be the dumbest
statement ever made
concerning real science.
I credit Al "The Climate Blimp"
Gore for that phrase!
Here's some real
climate science
with very few numbers,
except some dates:
The temperature
of our planet
is always changing.
The trend depends
entirely on what
start and end dates
one chooses for
the trend line.
We are a lot colder now,
for example, then when
dinosaurs roamed
the planet (global
cooling since then).
But if you start
real time global
average temperature
compilations in the late
1800's, which is when
they did start,
the trend is up (global
warming since then).
That means all
of our global average
temperature calculations
were made DURING
a warming trend
-- a temperature uptrend.
So we SHOULD be hearing
frequent announcements
of "this year is the warmest
year since records were kept".
Those
announcements
are expected --
they are not news.
"News' would be
any year, or decade,
that did NOT set
a new temperature
record.
When we stop hearing
about new temperature
records, that means
the warming trend
(since the 1690s)
is over, and a cooling
trend has begun.
On our planet, if there's
no warming trend,
then we'll be living
in a cooling trend.
There's nothing good
about global cooling.
Global warming
has been in progress
since the 1690s.
Intermittent warming
since then has been
good news .
More warming
in the future
is extremely
unlikely to be an
"existential threat'
-- it would most likely
be more good news.
Adding CO2 to the air
promotes plant growth
-- thousands
of scientific
experiments
prove --
new studies
are summarized
on this blog
almost every
week.
Greenhouse owners
buy, and use, indoor
CO2 enrichment systems
to provide their plants
with triple the natural
CO2 level outdoors.
A warmer planet,
with more CO2
in the atmosphere,
can support more
human life,
animal life and
plant life.
What's wrong with that ?
CO2 is the staff of life
on our planet -- with
no CO2, there is no life.
Only a fool
would call CO2
a pollutant.
The CO2 added to the air
from burning fossil fuels
had been in the atmosphere,
a long time ago.
It was later sequestered
underground, as the carbon
in coal, oil and natural gas
-- until humans discovered,
and started burning, those
hydrocarbon "fossil" fuels.
Burning fossil fuels
gradually recycles
underground carbon,
putting it back
into the atmosphere,
as carbon dioxide.
The current CO2 level,
is near the lowest CO2
level in the 4.5 billion year
history of our planet.
No human being
with common sense
would claim the current
CO2 level is too high,
or even close to too high.
The plants that support
life on our planet evolved
at double to triple the CO2
level in the atmosphere today.
A higher CO2 level promotes
large and faster growing plants,
and they use less water too.
And that statement
is based on real science,
not CO2 scaremongering,
or wild guess theories.
Of course
the good news
of adding CO2
to the atmosphere
is more than offset
by air pollution,
IF modern pollution
controls are NOT used
when burning
the fossil fuels.
Real science
supports more CO2
in the air, but not
more visible air
pollution, caused
by other chemicals,
that are easily seen,
and smelled, in large
Chinese and Indian cities.
Real climate science
is complex, and has
many unanswered
questions.
Climate junk science
is simple, and every
question has a simple
answer-- wrong,
but simple.
We know climate alarmists
rely on junk science when
every intelligent question,
from a person who doiubts
the coming climate crisis
belief, gets dismissed
with ridicule, and
character attacks.
All good
scientists
are skeptics,
by the way.
And no scientist
has any idea
what Earth's
climate will be
in 100 years,
not even whether
the global average
temperature will be
warmer, or cooler.
Good scientists
are willing to say
"We don't know",
or
"I don't know".
Junk climate "science"
never expresses doubt
-- at least not to
the general public.
