Part I: The “Global Warming” Scandal

“In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.”- Galileo Galilei

Climate scientists and environmental activists have distorted the evidence of climate change in the service of a leftist political agenda. The continuous fluctuation in average global temperatures across vast geological timescales are completely ignored in favor of a manipulated data set, one supporting the UN’s drivel about man’s industrial activity being the most significant driver of modern-day climate change. The so-called “consensus” on anthropogenic or Human-Caused Global Warming (AGW) maintains that global atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) remained stable for millions of years, but increased from 280 ppm in 1750 to a maximum of 414.7 ppm in 2019. In support of this mainstream “consensus,” researchers write: “[T]he current CO2 concentration is unprecedented over the past 3 million years …  global temperature never exceeded the preindustrial value by more than 2°C during the Quaternary” (Willeit et al., 2019). Mann et al.’s “hockey stick” (1998) graphically depicts a sharp increase in mean global temperatures from 1850 until present, after centuries of climate stability.

In pre-industrial times, incoming solar radiation would have been reflected off earth’s surface and back into outer space as thermal energy. This changed with the rapid growth in annual fossil fuel consumption since 1900, which has increased atmospheric CO2, considered a greenhouse or “heat-trapping” gas (GHG). Anthropogenic CO2, by absorbing thermal energy instead of letting it escape into outer space, has caused mean global temperatures to rise, a process known as the “greenhouse effect.” NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) estimated that “average global temperature on Earth has increased by about 0.8° Celsius (1.4° Fahrenheit) since 1880. Two-thirds of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15-0.20°C per decade.”[1]

Belief in the dangers of AGW has led to the emergence of the new generalist or interdisciplinary field of “climate science,” cobbled together with the express purpose of manufacturing evidence in favor of AGW. Significant differences exist between this climate science and the natural sciences. Regular scientists rely on objective, empirical methods to test hypotheses, not confirmation bias to uphold a neoliberal globalist status quo. Climate researchers, on the other hand, are heavily invested in filtering data through the lens of a single interpretation; they are trained to ignore all hypotheses, with the exception of AGW, no matter how plausible. In the natural sciences, governments will fund competing theories; in climate science, only AGW receives funding because it is the only politically correct explanation. Climate scientists are expected to uncover positive correlations between atmospheric CO2 and global temperature; if they cannot find one, they will manufacture one out of thin air. Not only is there no money in seeking alternative explanations of climate change, but any attempt at falsifying the AGW hypothesis is considered heresy. A similar state of affairs exists in the field of differential psychology; here, any exploration of race and sex differences in g-factor intelligence is considered taboo, and there is no funding available for such research.

Climate change activists are lionized by the establishment. Former American VP Al Gore conducted a flashy campaign to raise awareness of AGW; in 2007, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, along with the UN’s IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). In contrast, those who question the IPCC’s findings are dismissed as cranks challenging a well-established scientific “consensus,” despite significant disagreement among scientists over whether AGW is a real phenomenon or not. Evidence of credible opposition is easily found, even though AGW proponents see these dissidents as shills for “big tobacco” or “big oil.” The Heidelberg Appeal, signed in opposition to the UN-backed Earth Summit’s AGW agenda (1992), was endorsed by over 4000 scientists and 70 Nobel Laureates. Opponents were worried about “the emergence of an irrational ideology which is opposed to scientific and industrial progress and impedes economic and social development.”[2]

In 1998, over 31,000 scientists and experts signed the Oregon Petition, which urged “the United States government to reject the global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December, 1997, and any other similar proposals.” The petition continues:

The proposed limits on greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.

There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”[3]

Climate scientists forget that science is not done by consensus, but by hypothesis and experimentation. In his Third Letter on Sunspots (1612), Italian physicist Galileo Galilei wrote: “In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual.” The IPCC’s environmental activists believe that deliberate suppression of scientific research challenging the supposed AGW “consensus” is in the best interests of citizens.

Unlike researchers in other disciplines like geology, climate scientists have been known to bully and threaten academics who were skeptical of AGW. They are not above using ad hominem rhetoric or childish name-calling to silence legitimate debate, revealing the intellectual bankruptcy of climate science’s defenders. Geologists and other researchers are repeatedly dismissed as “climate deniers,” a favorite term of abuse among environmental activists. It is an odd accusation to hurl at dissenters from mainstream “consensus,” since no scientifically literate person denies that climate always changes.

In 2008, NASA’s James Hansen, whose testimony before US Congress in 1988 began the global warming hysteria, demanded that fossil fuel company CEOs be tried for “crimes against humanity.” Apparently, prosecution for thought-crime is warranted because they refuse to accept mainstream “consensus” on AGW. In 2014, the pro-global warming documentary Merchants of Doubt smeared noted American physicist Fred Singer as a “liar.” Singer threatened to sue the film director for libel unless an amicable settlement could be reached out of court.[4] By the early 21st century, climate science had revealed itself to be just another totalitarian arm of the modern liberal-leftist police state, no different from the Soviet pseudoscience of Lysenkoism, whose manufactured “consensus” was also upheld through repression of dissenting scientists.

In 2009, a server at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (CRU) was hacked and thousands of emails were leaked. These emails revealed a world seldom seen by the public, where outright fabrication, manipulated data and willful suppression of evidence had replaced scientific objectivity. Free from the glare of public scrutiny, the CRU disregarded scientific method in pursuit of a political agenda.

The emails tell a tale of corruption at the highest levels of academia. A climate scientist who had uncovered a decreasing trend in Northern Hemispheric temperatures was told to “hide the decline” using “Mike’s Nature trick.” Through padding with “instrumental” or thermometer data, the proxy temperature record was adjusted to reflect mainstream “consensus.” Freedom of Information (FOI) requests were routinely evaded and incriminating emails hurriedly deleted. Scientists who disagreed with the CRU were ridiculed and bullied. The scandal, known as “Climategate,” revealed a conspiracy among scientists to feed biased information to the IPCC.[5] In the aftermath, the CRU’s top scientists narrowly evaded criminal prosecution because of a legal technicality.[6]

Part II: The “Global Warming” House of Cards

When making their case to the public, environmental activists typically “prove” AGW using two pieces of evidence: an imaginary scientific “consensus” and Mann’s “hockey stick.” The specific claim of an overwhelming “consensus” on AGW within the scientific community comes from Cook et al. (2013), a team of volunteers affiliated with SkepticalScience.com, a pro-AGW website. The study, which found that 97% of the scientific community endorsed AGW, was one of the most downloaded and frequently cited papers in environmental science. Re-analysis of the data revealed significant bias and unrepresentative sample sizes. Cook et al. had excluded 75% of all papers discussing climate change. Geologists have long known about climatic fluctuations across vast geological timescales, but studies from the earth sciences were woefully undersampled. Cook and his team of volunteers were also taken to task for mistaking “a trend in composition for a trend in endorsement” (Tol, 2014). To this day, they have not responded to any of these major criticisms.

In 2017, geographer José Carlos González-Hidalgo, at the University of Zaragoza in Spain, estimated that, to the extent there was any agreement on AGW, there was a 50% “consensus,” as opposed to the 97% that was previously claimed by environmental activists. The supposed AGW “consensus” was only a myth disseminated by UN propaganda.

Mann’s iconic “hockey stick” graph (1998), the centerpiece of the IPCC’s environmental policy, ignited a firestorm of controversy and debate in the early 2000s, thanks to the efforts of Canadian researchers. The original graph reconstructed mean fluctuations in Northern Hemispheric temperature over a span of 600 years; although relatively stable for 500 years, the temperature increased dramatically after 1900. The trend, when depicted graphically, forms a hockey stick, hence the name. The Canadians McIntyre and McKitrick (2003), after re-analyzing Mann’s data, concluded that it was “primarily an artefact of poor data handling, obsolete data and incorrect calculation of principal components.” Their re-analysis also uncovered a “Medieval Warming Period”; temperatures were actually higher in the late fifteenth century than in the late twentieth. In 2005, McIntyre and McKitrick criticized the “hockey stick” graph’s underlying statistical methodology:

[P]rior to their principal components (PCs) analysis on tree ring networks, they carried out an unusual data transformation which strongly affects the resulting PCs. Their method, when tested on persistent red noise, nearly always produces a hockey stick shaped first principal component (PC1) and overstates the first eigenvalue.

Original “hockey stick” graph, 1998. The Y axis shows the Northern hemisphere mean temperature, in degrees Celsius; the zero line corresponds to the 1902 – 1980 mean (Mann et al., 1998).

In layman’s terms, Mann’s algorithm “mined for hockey stick shapes and overstated their dominance in the underlying data patterns; … it understated the uncertainties of the resulting climate reconstruction ” (McKitrick, 2014). The proxy temperature data for the “hockey stick” was based on tree ring analysis of bristlecone and foxtail pines, making the research even more problematic. Paleoclimatic reconstructions using these tree species are not accurate because ring width is influenced by soil conditions, amount of sunlight and rainfall, humidity and availability of CO2, all of which must be disentangled before the data can be properly interpreted.

Third IPCC report’s version of Mann’s Hockey Stick

Initially, academics were denied access to Mann’s “hockey stick” data. McKitrick (2014) writes:

Mann put obstacles in place for subsequent researchers wanting to obtain his data and replicate his methodologies, most of which were only resolved by the interventions of US Congressional investigators and the editors of Nature magazine, both of whom demanded full release of his data and methodologies some six years after publication of his original Nature paper.

 McIntyre & McKitrick’s corrected version of Mann’s graph (2003). Note that the 15th century is warmer than the 20th.

Updated reconstruction of McIntyre & McKitrick’s corrected version of Mann’s graph (Florides & Christodoulides, 2008)

The bogus hockey stick graph used by Climategate scientists to hide the decline,before and after

There are other problems with the case for AGW. The “greenhouse theory” of AGW is unproven and misleadingly presented. Recreating the earth’s atmosphere in a laboratory setting is physically impossible; the greenhouse effect only occurs within an enclosed structure, not an open system. Comparing the earth’s atmosphere to a greenhouse is thus highly misleading. In Schroeder’s Introduction to Thermal Physics (2000), solar radiation is presented as passing through a transparent atmosphere, which is emitted as thermal infrared energy by the earth’s surface; since the atmosphere is opaque to thermal infrared energy, it is then radiated back to the surface, raising average surface temperatures in the process. “This mechanism,” writes Schroeder, “is called the greenhouse effect … though most greenhouses depend primarily on a different mechanism (namely, limiting convective cooling)” (pg, 306).

In other words, climate change activists say that the earth’s atmosphere is like a greenhouse, but in an actual physical structure like a greenhouse, solar energy passes through the glass, heating surfaces within. It is then emitted by these surfaces as thermal infrared energy, but this cannot escape because of the glass. The glass traps the energy inside, inhibiting convective heat loss. This raises the temperature of the greenhouse. The heating of the earth is not like a greenhouse for two reasons: a) thermal energy is still able to escape from earth’s atmosphere and, b) heating occurs because the atmosphere is partially opaque to earth’s re-radiated thermal (infrared) energy, not by inhibiting convection (heat transfer by air or liquid).

A planetary greenhouse effect is an unfalsiable hypothesis because an actual greenhouse is a closed system (i.e. traps thermal energy) whereas the earth’s atmosphere is an open system (i.e. allows thermal energy to escape). You cannot recreate an open system like the earth’s atmosphere in a laboratory.

We have seen that AGW is based on fabricated or manipulated data; unbeknownst to the public, the AGW hypothesis is contradicted by a large body of experimental evidence. Contrary to the IPCC, CO2 can only absorb so much thermal energy radiated by earth’s surface until reaching a saturation point (Archibald, 2007). Once it has been reached, CO2’s ability to absorb thermal energy decreases logarithmically. A doubling or even tripling of atmospheric CO2 does not lead to rapid average global temperature increases. This explains why past geological eras, i.e. the Paleozoic, had 2 to 15 times the amount of atmospheric CO2 we have now (which is 414.7 ppm), but did not experience a runaway greenhouse effect. When dinosaurs first appeared during the Triassic, CO2 already exceeded 1000 ppm.[7]

Unlike a real greenhouse that restricts heat escape by preventing convection, the earth is heated by “greenhouse gases”
that absorb outgoing thermal energy, re-emitting some of it back towards Earth

There have been periods that were significantly warmer than the present, such as the Holocene Climatic Optimum and the Medieval Warming Period. Temperatures over 6000 years ago were 3ºC higher than they are now. This is confirmed by paleoclimatic reconstructions of Canadian Arctic and Russian temperatures (Fortin and Gajewski, 2016). Those who push Green dogma face a conundrum: How can AGW be true if the late Middle Ages and the Holocene were much warmer than the present?

Embarrassingly enough for the “Church of Climate Change,” Fyfe et al. (2016) found that there was a “global warming slowdown” from 2000 to 2014, despite increasing anthropogenic GHG emissions.

Some argue that the decreasing C13 / C12 isotope ratio of atmospheric CO2 is an anthropogenic signal, but another study found that these trends actually mirror natural C13 / C12 variability during interannual fluctuations of sea surface temperatures (Spencer, 2012, pg. 130).

That CO2 causes global temperatures to rise is axiomatic among climate change activists. But how well supported is this belief? Pedro et al. (2012) reported that, during deglaciation, rising Antarctic temperatures preceded increases in CO2. Using Antarctic and Greenlandic ice cores, they were able to show that atmospheric COhas lagged temperature since the Late Paleolithic. Rising CO2 is attributed to unspecified biogeochemical processes occurring in the ocean, further implicating temperature as the variable modulating CO2 variation, rather than vice versa.

There is some indication that if CO2 increases, temperature will actually either increase less rapidly or even decrease, indicating a negative correlation. Changes in temperature and CO2 variation occur on ocean and land surfaces first, before affecting the lower troposphere. Further, global changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration  are non-anthropogenic, since they occur near the equator before spreading to the poles, not in the industrialized North as expected if AGW was true (Humlum et al., 2013). Not only that, other data reveal no correlation between fossil fuel emissions and concentration of atmospheric CO2 (Munshi 2017). Investigators have tentatively hypothesized why CO2 lags temperature: the solubility of CO2 in the ocean waters decrease as temperatures rise, leading to “net outgassing” of CO2 into the atmosphere.

 CO2 lags temperature, not vice versa, as would be expected if AGW was correct ( Humlum et al., 2013)

Climate physicist Edwin X. Berry (2019) dismantles the IPCC’s “Bern model,” which supposedly explains atmospheric accumulation of anthropogenic CO2. The IPCC believes that increasing anthropogenic CO2 reduces ocean buffer capacity; if the ocean can’t absorb excess CO2, it remains trapped in the atmosphere with nowhere to go. If this were true, concentration of atmospheric CO2 would be many times higher than it is now, given significant average temperature and CO2 variation across vast geological timescales. The IPCC apparently believes that anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic CO2 have the same molecular formulas but different molecular structures, a preposterous assumption that violates the laws of both chemistry and physics.

If a model is to retain its validity, it must supply us with an explanation that best fits the data. Berry’s simple mathematical model, which “shows how CO2 flows through the atmosphere and produces a balance level where outflow equals inflow,” is empirically supported by C14 data. After nuclear testing during the 1950s and 60s, there was a temporary accumulation of C14 in the atmosphere, which eventually dissipated after 1970. In order for the Bern model to be correct, man-made CO2 would have remained trapped in the atmosphere. The C14 data shows this to be false, forcing us to conclude that Berry’s “physics model” best fits the data.

The IPCC maintains that, because anthropogenic CO2 increased faster than naturally occurring CO2 after 1750, growth in atmospheric CO2 between 1750 to 2013 has been entirely anthropogenic. As the study author points out, this is a non sequitur:

[T]he fact that the sum of human emissions is greater than the increase does not prove human CO2 caused the increase. The IPCC argument omits natural CO2 which totaled about 6000 ppm during the same period, much larger than the sum of human CO2.

The IPCC’s contention that non-anthropogenic CO2 does not increase total atmospheric CO2 because nature is a sink is patently ridiculous:

Of course, nature is a ‘net carbon sink’ because nature absorbs human CO2 emissions. However, absorption of human CO2 has no bearing whatsoever on how much natural CO2 flows into the atmosphere. Nature can set its inflow as it pleases, no matter how much human inflow nature absorbs.

There is no “climate control knob,” as the IPCC and its globalist lackeys like to believe. We have as much control over the climate as King Canute of England had over the tides of the river Thames. AGW is a pious fraud, one based on spurious correlation and post hoc ergo propter hoc. But if temperature decreases CO2 solubility in ocean waters, as evidence suggests, what leads to rising average global temperatures?

There is evidence that climate change is modulated by variability of solar magnetic flux, although the precise mechanism is still debated by physicists. The most common theory is that sunspot activity and cosmic ray intensity are inversely correlated. During low sunspot activity, expansion of the sun’s corona produces faster and stronger solar winds, shielding the heliosphere from interstellar cosmic radiation needed for cosmogenic ionization of aerosols. Without enough of these charged particles, there are less cloud condensation nuclei (CNNs) available as “surface” area for water vapor condensation. In the absence of cloud cover, incoming solar radiation will not be reflected back into outer space, raising average global temperatures (Svensmark, 2019). This is far more convincing than AGW, in addition to being supported by actual experimental evidence.

Changes in sunspot activity caused climatic changes in the past (i.e. the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age)

Illustration of Svensmark’s theory, explaining how solar activity causes climate change (2019)

The question remains to be asked: If AGW is so obviously wrong, why do the IPCC and their globalist lackeys continue to promote this falsehood as if it were actually true?

    Perhaps the answer can be found in this statement from the article: “In the absence of cloud cover, incoming solar radiation will not be reflected back into outer space, raising average global temperatures.”

    Niether this article nor the climategaters, however, address a key aspect of our tumultuous weather conditions — chem trails. The aerosol spraying of aluminum nano-particulates, among other toxic substances, into the atmosphere is supposedly being done to create artificial cloud cover to reflect the solor radiation back into space.

    While aerosol spraying is also a bogus solution to a bogus problem, similar to the distraction game of 3-card monte, if they can keep people focused on AWL, maybe they can keep people from acknowledging their weather modification experiments — and worse.

    Anti-nature technologies like HAARP are engaged in far more than solar shield activities. Morgellons disease just might be the chem-trails canary in the coal mine. As sci-fi as it sounds, some say aerosol particulates is the delivery system for implanting humans and all of nature (birds, trees, you name it) with microscopic AI nano-bots that are programmed to transmit and receive — making all Life one humongous Big Data lab for their transhumanist agendas.

    Don’t laugh. Study aerosol spraying. It’s intimately connected with the whole climate change issue. . . and the deeper you go, the more sinister it gets.

      Cat, for some time I’ve said I’ll consider protesters and environmental group calls for low carbon emissions when they also seek to expose HAARP, and other “unauthorised” programs etc… But curiously very few are even wanting to acknowledge those programs let alone exposing them.

      It seems many are still too blind and naive.

    • PaleoAtlantid
      PaleoAtlantid says:

      Not sure if ‘chem-trails’ are more imagined than real. However, we can be fairly sure HAARP has some sinister purpose linked to climate modification and control. The regional control of broad weather patterns, and of course to the length of the crop growing seasons, is likely linked to small changes in the direction and latitude of the jet stream. HAARP has the potential to energize and heat specific areas of the ionosphere. The ionosphere and the stratosphere are separated by 50-100km, so there is no obvious mechanism whereby energetic changes to the ionosphere could influence the jet stream…but I bet the world planners are busy working on it.

    If all the rage was really about the future and saving the planet, then all these crazy warmist people would leave climate alone in the first place. They’d all be busy fighting against the real threat and that is nuclear war. Never has mankind been closer to extinction than now. But have you seen anybody in the streets?

    Second, this irrationality based on AGW is first and foremost a phenomenon of western societies. The majority of mankind and that is Asia plus Africa doesn’t really care. How can that be!?

    These two points and there’s probably way more are telling me logically that all this can’t have anything to do with AGW. There must be a very different reason for all of this idiocy.

To get one or more people to believe the absurd, the preposterous, necessitates making subsequent claims–just as phantasmagorical or more–easier to pass or to gain credibility. That is what pimps do. Subject women to the unacceptable, which then seems more normative and usual. This is changing the threshold values of acceptability and acceptance.

    Poor, poor Gerry Fox, I can’t begin to imagine what that poor soul must be going through. Of the 7 plus billion people on planet earth one lone individual is moving against the grain of it all by writing a book explaining and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that what we are seeing and experiencing is nothing short of the work of a God of in fact Christ Jesus Himself!!!!

    There is a religious explanation to what is going on but the wholesale ignorance OF THE BIBLCAL IS SIMPLY ASTOUNDING IF NOT SCANDALOUS TO THE EXTREME!!!!!!!!

    You know when scientists say that “they don’t understand certain abrupt meteorological events that pop up now and then,” the answer can be found readily here:

    The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail. (Isaiah 30:30)

    Rain will come in torrents, and I will send hailstones hurtling down, and violent winds will burst forth. Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: In my wrath I will unleash a violent wind, and in my anger hailstones and torrents of rain will fall with destructive fury. {Ezekiel 13:11-13}

    On the evening news there was this lady reporting about a terrifying thunder hailstorm hitting the city of Boston. She was reading from a script on her desk about that cities sports stadium and how spectators were in pandemonium fleeing their seats and running for cover. When finished reading the news for us all she looked up from her desk with a look of utter disbelief and had to glance again at the report in astonishment and silence not knowing what to make of it really.

    Three days later the towers came down?

    Divine Communication yes? And wow what more this fellow Gerry Fox has to reveal will leave one speechless. And what he says about Galileo would make Galileo proud.

    Thank you, Ferdinand Bardamu it is been a while since I laughed, roared actually at the absurdity of everything . Wow, and you have the guts to write the ‘Church of Climate Change lol. Perfect, just perfect!!!!!!! lol

    By the way Ferdinand the solution to climate change is really quite simple but you will have to read Fox’s book for that. In the mean time if you want to know what the real pollution is to climate change go here especially the 17 minute mark and learn about a new kind of contraceptive.

    The warnings against AGW begins with James Hansen’s testimony before Congress in 1988. Hansen was trained in natural science, specialized in astrophysics. During the 1970’s he studied the athmosphere of Venus. And, of course, in order to do that he necessarily had to “cobble together” – as the case would be with the study of any natural phenomena outside of a laboratory context. The climate model was first developed in order to explain the athmospheric conditions of Venus. And the model explained it fairly well. In the later 70’s Hansen was the leader of a similar research program on the athmosphere of planet Tellus – i.e. Earth. And it simply showed that global average temperature most likely had been rising during the previous century because of rising CO2-levels caused by human activity. From this kernel of truth the politicking of it all started.

    Joshua Laskin says:

    No-one can predict the future with absolute certainty. Scientists who evaluate the same sets of data, can arrive at different predictions. Maybe climate-chaos is real, or maybe not—it’s impossible to know for sure. But, our degree of certainty, or uncertainty, isn’t really the issue. The real issue, is risk. The future being unknowable, each of our possible courses of action involves degrees of risk. So here’s the question we need to answer: Who is taking the risk?—i.e., who’s on the hook, for getting stuck with the consequences? If, after examining the evidence, I were to conclude that climate-chaos is bogus, then I may be prepared to take the risk of continuing to flood the atmosphere with carbon. But, what if I’m wrong? What if it results in climate-chaos-on-steroids? Will I then have to pay for the damage? That would seem fair. But, what if others will have to pay for the damage? In that case, my own willingness to take the risk, was irrelevant—because I was foisting the risk onto others. I mean, it would be one thing, if the entire assets of Charles Koch, the Koch industries and foundations, were bet on his prediction of climate-chaos being a hoax; and, if we were to reap the whirlwind, then all those assets would be forfeit, to pay for the damage. But no; Charles Koch, et al, don’t want to risk their own assets, but instead want the rest of us to take on all that risk, to pay the price. Well, I say: Put up, or shut up. Let those willing to risk the destruction of Human civilization, put their own assets on the line; to pay for the damage, if their predictions turn out to be wrong. If they’re not; then, let’s play it safe. Let’s put Human ingenuity to work, to figure out how not to be the carbon pigs we are—just in case the majority of scientists don’t happen to be wrong, in this case (in which case, the youngsters will have all of us old-timers burnt at the stake—a fate which I’d prefer to avoid).

    Ludwig says:

    JL, You’re framing the whole thing in such a way that appears to be rational except that almost everything we know indicates changing climate has got nothing to do with CO2. So, you not wanting to shoulder the “risk” argument is nonsense.

    Every IPCC model and prediction has been wrong, no, grossly wrong! But the hysterical rethoric from politicians has been increased. How many years now until that ridiculous claim of “irreversible” climate change takes effect?

    The real “risk” is putting any credence in dubious, or should I say, false “climate change” rationale. And an even greater risk is to trust what governments and the global elite want us to accept as mitigation.

    Having said that, corporations should be held accountable for pollution and physical environmental destruction but to include CO2 as a pollutant is a deception of monumental proportions.

    When considering the types of mitigation and extent of the consequences for the West by implementing those mitigating measures, which includes arresting legitimate development, I can’t see a sane person accept that as rational.

    The problem is that the masses are naive and mentally lazy, not to mention, can no longer think. So they are easy prey to propaganda and manipulation.
