presented radical leftist
desires to change life
as we know it.
Most proposed
spending had
nothing to do with
CO2 emissions.
It is more likely
that leftist change
will continue to be
incremental.
The demonization
of carbon dioxide
is not supported
by real data and
honest science.
CO2 is a beneficial trace gas
( 0.04% of our atmosphere )
that promotes a 'greening'
of the planet -- increasing
crop yields.
In 1970, Stanford’s
Paul Ehrlich warned,
that because of
population growth,
climate stress (cold)
and dwindling energy,
within 20 years
four billion people,
including 65 million
Americans, would die
in a too late to stop
“Great Die-Off”.
Each following
dire forecast
also failed
-- 100% wrong --
but the scary
predictions have
continued, with
each pushing
the date forward
-to 2000, 2010, 2020,
and now 2030.
Last summer, the
Glacier National Park
signs saying
“Warning: glaciers
will be gone by 2020”
were quietly removed, as
ice and snow increased.
The greenhouse gas
climate models that are
used to predict the future
climate, have all failed.
Dr. Mototaka wrote:
"The supposed measuring
of global average temperatures
from 1890 has been based
on thermometer readouts
barely covering 5 per cent
of the globe, until
the satellite era
began 40-50 years ago.
We do not know how
global climate
has changed
in the past century,
all we know
is some limited
regional
climate changes,
such as in Europe,
North America and
parts of Asia.”
Heat records
have declined
since the 1930s,
which holds
22 of the 50
U.S. state
hottest
temperature
records.
The 2010’s were
the second quietest
decade for U.S.
landfalling hurricanes,
and major hurricanes,
since 1850.
And also the
quietest decade
for U.S. tornadoes,
since tracking began
in the 1950s.
Arctic ice is similar
to where it was
in the 1920s to 1950s.
NOAA said last spring
that we had the
smallest percentage
of the U.S. in drought
on record.
Snow set new records
( last fall and winter )
for the hemisphere,
and North America.
Boston and
New York City
had more snowfall
in the 10 years
ending 2018,
than in any other
10 year period
since the
late 1800s.
The U.S.
air and water
is the cleanest
in our lifetimes.
The climate scare
is politically driven,
and mainly about
government control
over every aspect
of our lives.
AOC’s former
chief of staff,
Saikat Chakrabarti,
in May 2019,
admitted that
the Green New Deal
was not conceived
as an effort to deal
with climate change,
but instead a
“how-do-you
-change-the-entire
economy thing”.
In Spain,
every green job
created cost Spain
$774,000 in subsidies.
Only 1 in 10
green jobs were
permanent.
Several states
have established
zero carbon
emissions goals
This will lead to
higher energy
prices.
Massachusetts lawmakers,
for one example, passed the
Global Warming Solutions Act
and joined the Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative,
intending to reduce the state’s
greenhouse gas emissions.
As a result,
Massachusetts
tops all the other
lower 48 states
in the cost
of electricity,
according to
the EIA
( 173.1% of the average
of the lower 48 states ).
