INTRODUCTION:
People say doing
the same thing over
and over,
while expecting
DIFFERENT results,
is a definition
of insanity.
In the leftist climate
change cult, they start off
being brainwashed
about CO2, which
already resembles
insanity, in my opinion.
They believe a climate
crisis is coming, and
have believed that
for up to 50 years.
No crisis ever shows up.
But it is always "coming".
SUMMARY:
This article
recommends
"fighting" climate
scaremongering
in a new way.
A new way not
recommended
anywhere else.
Based on psychology.
Not debating climate
science, which does
not work.
And has not worked
for many decades.
Climate alarmists
claim CO2 causes
global warming.
It's hard to argue
with that.
Based on
lab infrared
spectroscopy
CO2 is likely
to cause
some warming
(CO2 actually slows
Earth's cooling process,
by some unknown
amount, to be specific).
You could argue
about how much
warming CO2
actually causes
outtside of the
laboratory
But there's
no evidence so far
to support more
than mild, harmless
warming, even when
using worst case
assumptions.
Climate alarmists
don't care about actual
experience with adding
CO2 to the atmosphere,
for the past 80 years --
they claim future warming
will be much faster
than in the past.
And their explanation is:
"Because our big shot
government bureaucrats,
say so, and you're just
a science denier with
no peer-reviewed
science articles
published, so
who cares
what YOU think."
It's hard to debate
what will happen
in the future, because
no one knows.
If you start to debate,
you'll get smacked
upside the head
with the nonsense
that we have to act now,
even if the predictions
are wrong, otherwise
it will be too late.
How can you argue
with backwards logic
like that -- do what we say
if we are right, and do what
we say if we are wrong ?
Climate history is ignored
-- all 4.5 billion years,
except for the 45 years
after 1975.
The current climate
is ignored, or
considered to be
bad, even though
it is wonderful.
Decades of huge
forecasting errors,
by every climate
computer model,
except one Russian
model, are ignored.
Even the Russian model
is ignored, because leftists
think the Russians are
colluding with President
Trump, to claim
global warming
is harmless !
All contrary climate
data are ignored:
Unusual weather:
Very warm weather,
hurricanes,
tornadoes,
high winds, etc.,
are all falsely
blamed on
global warming.
Unusual weather:
Very cold weather,
well, that's just
weather, not climate.
Skeptics are ridiculed,
called "deniers:", and
character attacked.
We skeptics are insane
IF we think climate alarmist
minds can be changed
with facts, data, logic
and reason.
Leftists don't change
their minds, except to
move further left.
And they never
apologize for
being wrong.
Have you heard
any apologies
after three years
of the completely false
Trump Russian
Collusion Delusion?
Of course not !
Most Democrats
still believe
those fake
charges !
MY NEW STRATEGY:
A year ago,
climate alarmists
started moving
faster, in the direction
I wanted them to move.
Let’s push climate
alarmists to become
even more radical,
and more vocal,
with demands ordinary
people will not support.
Alarmists
are already moving
in that direction,
so pushing them
further left
will not be hard.
We already know
their minds
won’t change
about a coming climate
change crisis, when we
present contrary facts,
data, and logic.
Even hitting them
upside the head
with a rolled up
Sunday New
York Times
does not help.
I’ve tried it.
Knowing some facts
about the current climate,
and climate changes
in the past, makes one
ready to debate
climate science.
But don't hold your breath
waiting for any leftists
to debate climate science
with you.
They "debate" with ridicule
and character attacks.
They prefer the appeal
to authority logical fallacy
-- if a leftist professor
or scientist with a PhD
claims something, then
it immediately becomes
a 'proven fact'.
And they repeat
those PhD claims
like trained parrots.
No offense intended
toward parrots.
Scary climate
claims are always
fantasies about
the FUTURE climate.
Frequently repeated,
but always wrong
(for 50 years),
wild guesses
about the future
climate.
And the future climate
is always imagined
to be bad news,
... but that bad news
never shows up,
and we have been
waiting for 50 years !
I’ve been following
real climate science,
and climate change
junk science,
for 22 years.
False environmental
scares started
in the early 1960s,
with DDT.
Climate related
scares started
about 50 years
ago.
There was a brief
global cooling scare
in the mid-1970s,
after 35 years
of global cooling,
that happened
despite 35 years
of rising CO2 levels.
The global
cooling scare
did not last long,
and involved only
a small minority
of scientists.
But they got a lot
of public attention,
which other
scientists noticed.
And soon after,
scary long term
global warming
predictions started
becoming more
common.
In the 1980s,
most scientists
were making
scary global
warming
predictions,
and the UN
heard them.
The UN got heavily involved
in 1988, when they launched
the IPCC group, with the goal
of becoming the world energy
and climate czar.
The IPCC recruited
like minded scientists,
and rejected natural causes
of climate change as
being unimportant
(even though natural
causes of climate
change had been the ONLY
cause of climate change
for 4.5 billion years).
Humans added
a lot of CO2
to the air by burning
fossil fuels, since
the trough of the
Great Depression.
1940 is a good start
date for man made
CO2 emissions,
although the
emissions ramped
up faster after 1950.
What happened after 1940?
The global average
temperature
from 1940 to 1975
went DOWN --
originally reported
as -0.3 degrees C.
But that was an
inconvenient fact,
with CO2 levels
RISING.
So smarmy government
bureaucrats have been
"adjusting away" that
global cooling.
With various global
temperature compilations,
It now ranges from
-0.2 degrees C. cooling,
to no global cooling at all !
One source of data
is NASA-GISS --
they currently claim
there was no global
warming from 1940
to 1979, although
their data are far
from being global,
requiring a lot
of estimates
to fill in areas
with no temperature
measurement data.
And from 1979
through 2018,
we can use near
global coverage UAH
\weather satellite data
-- only small areas
around both poles
require estimates.
UAH data claim
+0.5 degrees C.
of global warming
from 1979 through
2018.
So the total global warming
from 1940 through 2018
is about zero through 1979,
and then +0.5 degrees C.
warming after 1979,
which is about
+0.9 degrees F.
Just as important,
but hidden within
a single global average
temperature number:
The majority of global
warming since the 1970s ,
has been:
-- Mainly In the northern half
of the Northern Hemisphere,
-- Mainly during the six
coldest months of the year
-- Mainly at night.
Warmer winter nights in Alaska
is one of the biggest changes!
Considering the total warming,
and the details about where
and when it has
most affected
people:
How has Earth
being slightly warmer
affected people ?
Have you noticed
any change in your
own climate over
at least 20 years ?
Is your life worse
because your area
feels slightly warmer ?
Here in Michigan,
the period since
mid-December 2018
has been unusually cold,
so +0.9 degrees F.
warmer would be great.
+1.8 degrees F. warmer
would be even better.
Except for summers,
when people from Michigan
go on vacation, they usually
fly or drive south
to a warmer climate.
Most people like
a warm climate.
With the exception
of some skiers,
people living
in Michigan
prefer the summer,
over the winter.
Consider the current
global climate: It has not
been better for humans,
and animals living outdoors,
in at least 5,000 years.
We should be celebrating
the current climate.
Instead, the smarmy CO2
scaremongers have done
an effective job of scaring
people about the future
climate, with propaganda.
People today are living
in the best climate
for human life since
the even better,
and warmer,
Holocene Optimum.
But it seems that
most people are not
smart enough to observe
the climate they live in.
They are too distracted
by self-serving leftists
... who have frightened them
about the future climate
-- and some people have
become very stressed.
This scare has been ongoing
for 50 years — pushed
especially hard in the
past 31 years, since the
UN formed the IPCC
in 1988.
I find it hard to believe
that after 31 years
of hearing about a
“coming climate crisis”,
with no crisis ever
showing up, that many
people still listen to
climate predictions.
Can anything stop
this self-serving
climate science fraud ?
I’ve had two ideas
for two decades
— you may have more;
(1)
Noticeably colder weather.
And it happened
in the US. in 2019 !
But few people noticed.
In the US, we had
the coldest ever
January through August
(in 2019), since records
were kept in 1895
(based on average daily
maximum temperatures
from NOAA’s USCHN
weather station network).
But no one in
the mass media
reported that fact,
and I doubt if anyone
I know even realized it.
So that idea did not work.
(2)
If the weather
does not get
cold enough
to make most
people question
global warming
scaremongering,
there's another way
to "fight" climate
scaremongering.
We need the people
leading the climate
science fraud to get
even more radical.
That sounds ridiculous
at first, until you think
about it for a while.
We need them
to be frantic,
and outrageous,
just like the new
"Extinction Rebellion".
Gluing themselves
to buildings and roads,
inconveniencing ordinary
working people.
We need them to become
so radical that they seem
like over emotional zealots,
incapable of rational thought.
(i.e.; crazy people).
I am very pleased
to say that’s actually
happening in 2019,
and we skeptics should
encourage the climate
alarmists to become
even more radical.
That can work,
even though leftists
almost "never"
change their minds
-- but they will change
their minds to move
further left.
So let’s encourage that !
Th US Democrat party
became a socialist party,
as of 2018, changing so fast
that some older liberals
still don't understand
what happened.
We can encourage
Democrats to move
even further left.
We already have some
radical climate demands,
and dumb climate leaders:
– How about the
Green New Deal
for the US?
Extremely expensive
-- but with most of the
spending proposed
for social programs,
completely unrelated
to CO2 emissions
and climate change.
And after
all that spending
-- up to $100 trillion
over ten years --
a U.S. Green Ordeal
would NOT
stop the rise
of global
CO2 emissions,
even if "Ordeal"
implementation
had been feasible,
in a ten year period.
– How about AOC?
She's a Marxist
DING DING DING bat,
getting paid $174,000
a year as a public servant
promoting the Green Ordeal,
open borders, and other
crazy ideas.
Ms. Alexandria Occasionally
Coherent is a climate
spokesman so radical
that it seems like
climate skeptics
picked her out from
"central casting",
and gave her
dumb lines to read !
– How about that
Greta "Thunderberg" ?
A very angry Swedish
high school dropout,
with a mental disease,
whose speeches tediously
"lecture at" adults !
The appeal to authority
logical fallacy works
on leftists, when PhD
scientists are involved.
They LOVE the phrase
"Scientists say",
as if scientists had
a great track record
predicting the future
climate (they are
"batting" 0.000).
But little
Miss Thunderberg
is a high school
dropout, not a PhD --
a really angry
"trained parrot"
of climate alarmism,
invoking the
"12 years left"
nonsense in EVERY
public appearance.
A brainwashed teenager
with a mental illness
and negative charisma.
She's a dream come true
for rational climate skeptics.
We need more Gretas.
CONCLUSION:
Climate alarmists
have already been
moving further left
(more radical)
for the past
few years.
Instead of arguing
with them about
climate science,
which doesn't work,
let's push the
climate alarmists
further left.
We want the climate
alarmists to make
such radical demands
that ordinary people
question their sanity,
and eventually
reject them.
For some examples:
Climate alarmists
should spend
much more time
publicizing
their desire for
population reduction,
and women not having
children.
Let's encourage them
to speak up LOUDLY
about both subjects.
How about demanding
a ban on meat sales
on Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays,
in supermarkets
and restaurants,
except for fake meats ?
How about outlawing
fracking everywhere
in America ?
How about demanding plans
to close all coal power plants
within two years ?
Most important
is to hit people
in their wallets:
-- Let’s push
alarmists
to propose a
$1 per gallon
gasoline tax
to fund windmills.
-- Then another
$1 per gallon tax
to fund solar panels.
When alarmists claim
'the world is going
“to end in 12 years',
let’s encourage them
to claim eight years,
or six years,
perhaps because
India and China
seem to be ignoring
the Paris Climate
Agreement.
