Rappin' About Climate Change

There has never been 
any real science 
behind the 60+ year old 
claim that a climate crisis
is coming from adding
CO2 to the atmosphere.

The only real science
took place in a lab,
where artificially dried
air was used, in a 
closed system, 
to prove CO2 is one of 
the greenhouse gases.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas
that somewhat overlaps
the effects of the primary
greenhouse gas: 
water vapor. 

That's why CO2 should
have its greatest effect
in places with dry air,
such as the northern
half of the Northern 
Hemisphere, during 
the coldest months
of the year.

And, in fact, the greatest
global warming has been
in the northern half of the
Northern Hemisphere, 
during the coldest 
six months of the year, 
and at night --
locations and timing 
that  made the actual warming 
GOOD NEWS, not bad news !

The southern half of the
Southern Hemisphere 
has NOT had much warming,
which is also good news,
because melting Antarctica
ice would accelerate sea 
level rise, and that could become
a problem in several centuries.

While sea level has been rising 
for 20,000 years, there was no 
acceleration of sea level rise
in the 20th century that 
could be blamed on adding
CO2 to the atmosphere.









CO2 lab experiments
suggested mild,
harmless global 
warming from CO2,
but do not prove
what actually happens 
in the atmosphere.

There was a rise of 
CO2 levels from burning
fossil fuels after 1940,
( with no other logical 
explanation for the 
CO2 level increasing. )

But no actual global
warming from 
1940 to 1975 -- 
actually -0.3 degrees C.
global cooling. reported
during those 35 years 
... a trend that annoyed 
climate alarmists.

Since they "own" 
the global temperature
data, they decided to 
gradually "adjust"
those historical data,
until the cooling trend
"disappeared".

The last time I looked
at the various compilations
of surface temperature
"data", the 1940 to 1975 
period had the cooling trend
reduced to between -0.15
degrees C. global cooling, 
to no global cooling at all !

It's comical, and sad
at the same time, that
historical temperatures
have been changing for 
over 30 years, due to 
arbitrary "adjustments", 
while the future climate
never changes !  

Every year we are told
the future climate will be 
a global warming crisis, 
based on a "formula" 
from the late 1970s, 
that never changes,
even though it causes
climate models to 
over-predict global 
warming by 2x to 3x.



I got interested in 
climate science in
1997, while working
in product development
of an auto manufacturer.

I'd read that our products
were "polluting" the 
atmosphere with CO2.

I'd started using the internet
at work on 1996, so finding
the climate science website
www.SEPP.org  was easy.

It just happened to be 
a skeptic website, but
any climate science
website would have
told me the same thing
in my first hour of reading:
 The coming global warming 
crisis was based on climate 
model predictions for the 
next 100 years. (and still is ! )

After one hour or reading,
I was very skeptical that
a climate crisis was coming, 
based on computer models.

Or if a global warming crisis
WAS coming, it would be
a surprise crisis, and NOT
predicted by any computer
models ... which had been
developed from models 
that struggled to predict 
local weather just one 
week in the future. 



Today I view climate 
change over the past 
20,000 years rather 
than just the period
when humans began 
adding lots of CO2 
to the air:









(1)
20,000 years ago
to roughly 8,000
years ago -- there 
was enough global 
warming to melt
huge ice glaciers 
on land, with the melt 
water increasing sea 
levels by about 400 feet.
        ( 120 meters )

No man made CO2 
caused that warming.


(2)
Almost all proxy studies 
claim that the global 
average temperature was 
slightly warmer than today 
4,000 to 8.000 years ago. 
or at least just as warm 
as today.

After that warm period,
called the Holocene Optimum,
there were mild cooling
and warming periods, until 
the late 1600s.








(3)
From the late 1600s to today,
we have had intermittent, mild
global warming -- up at least 
+2 degrees C. 

With at least half of that warming 
BEFORE the 20th century,
so man made CO2 could 
NOT have been the cause.


(4)
The global warming after 
1975 could be blamed on 
man made CO2, and has 
been, in spite of the fact 
that Earth's climate
had previously changed
-- cooling and warming --
without man made CO2
emissions being the cause.

In fact there were 
4.5 billion years 
of climate change
from natural causes.

With the last 45 years
of warming blamed on CO2,
that implies all natural causes
of climate change died off
in 1975, and the CO2 level
magically became the ONLY 
"climate control knob".

When asked how that could
have happened, and for proof
that the past 45 years 
of global warming
had NO natural causes, 
government bureaucrat 
climate alarmist "scientists"
will respond with ridicule
and character attacks,
and then proclaim "the
science is settled" and 
"science deniers" are not 
worthy of any debate.

So there is no debate.

Those harsh responses
to questions make it 
very obvious that 
climate alarmism 
is based only on 
junk science 
-- wild guess,
always wrong, 
predictions of a 
coming climate crisis
that started in the late 
1950s ... and continued
since then.

Meanwhile, we have been 
waiting for over 60 years 
for that crisis to arrive !

The climate alarmists
are still predicting a crisis, 
and getting more and more
hysterical, in their effort 
to scare the general public
... and then control them !

They had me scared 
before I started reading 
about climate science
in 1997.


Wild guesses about the 
future climate, that are 
always wrong, are not 
real science.

Real science requires
a thorough understanding
of climate change physics
that leads to accurate 
climate predictions -- 
both do not yet exist !
