"NASA’s James Hansen started the global warming scare during the very hot summer of 1988.
The New York Times reported the following on June 24, 1988: "Until
now, scientists have been cautious about attributing rising global
temperatures of recent years to the predicted global warming caused by
pollutants in the atmosphere, known as the ”greenhouse effect.”
But today Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration told a Congressional committee
that
it was 99 percent certain that the warming trend was not a natural
variation but was caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide and other
artificial gases in the atmosphere.
... For decades prior, the publication was scaremongering about the opposite climatic catastrophe: Global Cooling.
...
an article from 1961, where the NYT is bracing citizens of the U.S. for
a colder world: The global scientific consensus is that the world “is
getting colder,” reads one paragraph.
By the following decade, the rhetoric had been ramped-up.
At the start of the 1970s ... scientists at the time were worried about expanding polar ice.
So
much so in fact, that the article proposes drastic measures to combat
the cooling polar regions — one being to spread coal dust over the
Arctic in order to melt the ice.
By
the end of the 70s, rather than acknowledging they had perhaps gone a
tad overboard, the publication actually doubled-down on its catastrophic
cooling narrative ...
The
cooling trend between the 1960s and late 1970s was indeed very
real–despite what today’s mainstream media are currently trying to sell
you (their own publications were reporting on it ... )
The
thermometer data of the time reveals that between 1900-1940 the
Northern Hemisphere (in the chart below) experienced stark warming, and
then from 1941-1970 (in fact to 1980) suffered substantial cooling.
...
There can be absolutely no attribution to atmospheric carbon dioxide
levels, which –supposedly– have been steadily rising since the late
1800s.
...
the chart (below) shows a strong anti-correlation from 1941-1970 when
CO2 levels were rising exponentially yet average temperatures were
falling off a cliff.
The likes of NOAA and NASA have since erased these natural waxings and wanings from the temperature records.
Natural
climate variations have been used to control populations and sell
newspapers for a century+ — and let us hope this repeated ‘crying wolf’
doesn’t come back to bite us when a genuine threat arises.
Regarded as ‘the father’ of the modern warming scare (from 1980 to today) is NASA’s James Hansen.
This scare, however, unlike the ones preceding it, has a far more sinister twist.
Today, rising carbon dioxide levels – so therefore every human on the planet – is being blamed.
This
is brilliant in its maleficence, but will also be judged by history as
the greatest fraud ever perpetuated on the human race.
When devising his now infamous temperature forecast from 1988, Hansen came-up with three CO2 emissions scenarios.
Scenario A was based on increasing CO2 emission growth rates, or “Business As Usual.”
Scenario B was based on a reduction (moderate) of CO2 emission growth rates.
And Scenario C was based on CO2 emissions being reduced (capped) to year 2000 levels.
... Temps have almost perfectly tracked Scenario C: “GHG/CO2 reduced to year 2000 levels.”
Think
of all those costly carbon initiatives that have been rolled-out around
the world since 1988, when we could have done nothing and achieved the
same results.
... Hansen’s original graph overlaid with the satellite lower troposphere reading in red (chart below)
Hansen testified to congress indicating that we would be 1.5C above baseline by early 2020.
But real-world satellite observations had us at around 0.5C above baseline in early 2020.
And since then, the average global temperature has plummeted to -0.05C BELOW baseline (chart below):
Hansen was flat out wrong.
What an expensive and wholly-exhausting waste of time “global warming” turned out to be." ...
