It's very useful to remember there's a big difference between climate fantasies and climate reality.
CLIMATE FANTASY: (publicized since the 1980s)
(1)
Bureaucrats predict global warming crisis
(2)
Computer models predict a crisis too
(3)
Large reductions of the use of fossil fuels
(4)
Net Zero 2050 visions of a green utopia
(5)
The social cost of carbon, and the coat of decarbonization, are numbers carefully calculated by economics experts
CLIMATE REALITY:
(1a) a = accurate
After 40+ years of predictions of a coming global warming crisis, we actually have the best climate for humans, animals, and especially plants, since the Holocene Climate Optimum ended 5,000 years ago.
(2a)
Computer games predicted only what they were programmed to predict, which did not match reality
(3a)
From 2009 to 2019, the large percentage of global primary energy derived from fossil fuels only declined by 0.1 percentage point, which could be a rounding error
(4a)
China, India, Russia and every undeveloped nation in the world, could not care less about Nut Zero. Those nations will be responsible for a large majority of the increase in CO2 emissions in the future. The probability of the atmospheric CO2 percentage declining is very small.
(5a)
The social cost of carbon, and the cost of decarbonization, are numbers pulled out of a hat, or from two feet lower.
CONCLUSION:
Green Dreamers prefer to live in their climate fantasyland. This blog is about climate reality.
