This climate
science blog
exists for
three reasons:
(1)
The mainstream
media has published
ridiculous predictions
of a climate crisis,
since the 1970s,
that never shows up !
(2)
Truth is not
a leftist value,
and
(3)
"If you would
not be forgotten,
as soon as
you are dead,
either
write something
worth reading,
or do something
worth writing (about) "
Benjamin Franklin
Following is a
brief summary of
the past six years
of articles here:
The coming
'climate change
crisis' is nothing
more than an
overconfident
prediction,
based on an
unproven theory.
A prediction that
started in the late
1950s, but it
did not become
very well known
until the 1970s,
over 40 years ago.
The prediction
was half right
-- we did have
global warming
after 1975 !
But it was not
harmful in any
way !
We also had
global warming
before 1975 !
In fact,
our planet
has had over
325 years of
mild, intermittent
global warming.
Starting before
man made CO2
emissions could
be blamed.
No one was hurt
by all of that
global warming.
Alaska does
have warmer
winter nights,
but no one
living there
complains
about that !
In fact, the 325+
years of warming
was good news --
because it started
in the 1690s,
when the planet
was unusually cold.
There is much
anecdotal
evidence that
people did not
enjoy living in
past centuries
that were colder
than average.
People like
a warmer
climate.
People are
healthier
when
the climate
is warmer.
People who
can afford to,
will "buy"
warmer
weather,
by taking
a vacation
in a warm
place.
There is no logical
reason to believe
a continuation of the
325+ years of global
warming will suddenly
reverse from being
good news, to being
bad news !
But that is exactly
what has been
predicted, with
great confidence,
each year, for over
40 years !
Our planet is always
warming or cooling.
We should be thrilled
that we get to live
in a warming trend,
during an unusually
warm period
( the Holocene
interglacial, for the
past 10,000 years ).
20.000 years ago,
Canada was covered
by a thick ice glacier.
Chicago and Detroit too.
The global
warming since
then has melted
enough ice
on our planet
to raise sea level
by about 400 feet.
It's possible the last
six inches of that
400 foot sea level
rise was caused
by man made CO2
... or maybe not.
Based on stable
tide gauges,
sea level rise has
remained steady
for over 100 years,
demonstrating
no correlation
with atmospheric
CO2 levels.
Once again,
there is
no evidence
of bad news
from climate
change !
But there is
much evidence
that bad news from
future climate change
is entirely imagined,
and will never happen !
