I've been reading science and energy articles and studies since 1997. A few years ago I noticed people were getting more hysterical about climate change, for no logical reason. All they read in the mainstream media are scary predictions, and "it's worse than we thought" hysteria.
So I decided to publish edited versions of my favorite articles, formatted for easy reading. Once in a while I'll add my own climate change ranting and raving ... er ... I mean scholarly articles, like this one.
I doubt if any leftists will ever read this blog, or get this far through the first article.
Those of us who have been following the 'coming climate crisis' predictions for many decades need to know some basic facts to defend our realistic point of view.
Of course the climate alarmists do not care about the present and past climate -- they focus entirely on an imaginary future climate crisis, always coming in about ten years. It's been coming 'in ten years' since 1957 !
It's impossible to refute something that has not happened, and will not happen. So don't try to change the mind of a climate alarmist. It would be easier to teach your dog geometry. Just tell them you've been enjoying the global warming in the past 45 years, and then see what they say.
Here are basic climate science facts:
(1) The climate is always changing.
(2) There has been global warming for 20,000 years, most recently a warming trend since the late 1600s.
(3) Lab studies suggest more CO2 in the atmosphere should cause mild, harmless global warming.
(4) We've had mild, harmless global warming since the mid-1970s.
(5) You've lived with some, or all, of the global warming in the past 45 years -- you KNOW from experience that global warming is mild and harmless.
(6) Since the 1970's, climate change zealots have predicted triple the rate of global warming that was suggested by the CO2 lab experiments.
(7) That fast rate of global warming has not happened, yet the scary predictions keep coming ... getting more hysterical every year.
(8) Meanwhile, we live in the best climate for humans, animals and plants in over 300 years.
(9) Global warming since the 1970s has most affected cold areas in the Northern Hemisphere, mainly during the six coldest months of the year, and mainly at night.
(10) Leftists will lie to boost their political power, from the fake Donald Trump Russian collusion charges, to the fake coming climate crisis predictions, since the 1950s.
But never forget that Republicans also lie -- remember the fake 'Iraq has weapons of mass destruction' charge, used to justify a war with Iraq, a nation that had no connection with the 9/11 attack?
