It is no longer global warming because it isn't.

It is climate change because it does.

Men are never so likely to settle a question rightly as when they discuss it freely.

— Thomas B. Macaulay (1800-1859), Essay on Southey's Colloquies

All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Bad, Bad CO2

Unimaginable silliness from the Lancet - a journal of the medical profession.

The Clean Air Act gives the EPA the responsibility to protect the public health and environment by limiting air pollutants including carbon dioxide. ”All inhaled air pollutants have direct respiratory health impacts for the lung because it is the mechanism by which the pollution is absorbed.””

Really? Enjoy your CO2 today. It is keeping you alive!

Perhaps this makes the social BENEFITS of CO2 PRICELESS. What do you think?

Delusion and Confusion in Bill Nye


What we see in others we ignore in ourselves or are we projecting what we see in ourselves onto others. It can get quite confusing. Take the example of Bill Nye, the alleged ‘Science Guy’.


“On Monday, Bill Nye, sitting alongside fellow climate alarmist Bernie Sanders, chided “extreme skeptics”, lecturing them “to think about what is called cognitive dissonance.” He asserted, “Instead of accepting that the climate is changing, deniers are denying the evidence and dismissing the authorities.”

The climate is supposed to be getting worse with the unabated addition of CO2 to our atmosphere. That is the CO2 centric theory of global warming that is defended by Bill and Bernie. And yet Mother Nature, who has the only opinion that counts, is not behaving in accordance with their expectations. The message of doom and gloom expected to be delivered by Mother Nature has failed to show up in the long term trends.








NASA/NOAA Have Little Or No Long-Term Temperature Data For The UK - makes it hard to know what is going on, no?






New York Times Recycling The Same Story From 1977  - it is always the most extreme year ever



Bill and Bernie would do well to take their own advice and ‘think about what is called ‘cognitive dissonance’. Mother Nature is providing plenty of cognitive dissonance to those who are pushing the global warming agenda. Their agenda is not based in reality but in their own delusions about bad weather. Bill needs to consult with the ultimate authority not just mindlessly repeat alarmist talking points.

REFERENCES:

“To the deniers out there. I want you to think about what is called cognitive dissonance,” Nye said, referring to situations wherein people prefer to bury their head in the sand instead of facing reality. It’s up to environmentalists and everybody else to save skeptics from themselves, he added. “Instead of accepting that the climate is changing, deniers are denying the evidence and dismissing the authorities” simply because they don’t want to face a harsh reality, Nye said.







The Most Important Issue Facing Mankind

Man made climate change is touted as the most important issue facing mankind and if we don’t reduce our CO2 emissions pronto humanity may go extinct. This fear and guilt mongering is all based on Global Climate Models(GCMs) which can’t predict squat and haven’t been correct about anything.

Is the alarmist message getting through? Let’s ask the United Nations who recently conducted a poll that asked people all over the world to rank 16 issues in order of importance to them.

Surprise, surprise climate change came in last. Most in the US do not believe that every bad weather event is man made. This result supports other polls that have been conducted. People in the US are not falling for the nonsense.

People are smarter than the Phds who are trying to scare them. There are other things more important than climate change. But when do politicians ever listen to their employers?

Who benefits?

Closet totalitarians who want to control the resources of the world.

Politicians beholden to the green lobby for their campaign contributions.

Politicians who are trying to stick handle through disparate opinion trying not to offend anyone.

Green NGOs who get increased contributions.

The MSM who get to ride a scare story to increased sales and advertising.

Crony socialists in the wind, solar and biofuel industries who receive subsidies, grants and loan guarantees from the politicians who then receive contributions for their reelection campaigns. All very incestuous.

Who loses?

People in their role as both taxpayer and consumer. Subsidies for renewables have to come from somewhere. Higher energy prices result in higher costs for just about everything that is manufactured  The poorer you are the harder it will be to run your home or vehicle.

The most important issue facing mankind is NOT climate change which can’t be stopped but the incestuous relationship between politicians and their crony socialist friends. They have incentives to dream up crisis after crisis which they then must solve. The result: crony socialists get rich at taxpayer expense and politicians gain more power over those taxpayers. Crony socialists love to socialize YOUR income for their use.

The solution: complete separation of State and Economy. No subsidies, grants, loans or loan guarantees to any profit OR non-profit organization. The government is not in business to pick or make winners in the economy. That job is best left to consumers in the marketplace.






What Have We Heard?



And here are some data, studies and reports that dispute those claims.
















Australia’s winter grain crop hit a new record in every state. - this should not be a surprise as plants love more CO2



In other words all that you believe in that paragraph quoted above is contradicted by the behaviour of Mother Nature and she has the ONLY opinion that counts! Mother Nature has given the finger to the non-existent AGW consensus.



Global Warming is NOT Global



Doesn’t that prove that CO2 is NOT the climate driver we have been led to believe or did it lose its mojo between 1940-1995?










Crazy Weather Proves Crazy Weather


Crazy weather is the normal state of affairs in our atmosphere. It has always been the case.





The Sierra snowpack is so large that it will end the drought that has been plaguing California when it melts.

Even though CO2 is increasing unabated in our atmosphere climates around the world differ. Doesn’t this prove that CO2 has nothing to do with climate change.


Pushers of the Global Warming Narrative like to emphasize weather events that bolster their contention that the world is warming and that the warming is unprecedented. They often leave out important details such as the fact that such balmy temperatures have been seen at Esperanza before. CO2 didn’t do it! It’s just weather.


In 2017, New Zealand is complaining that summer never showed up. One of the worst New Zealand summers on record. Why don’t global warming alarmists sound the alarm about that?

Science must examine all the evidence relevant to an issue in order to come to an accurate conclusion. Politics tends to leave out those ‘inconvenient facts’ that spoil their narrative. When you become aware of this political tactic you can begin looking for it. Alternative media have arisen to balance the bias.


The MSM ignore the cold but emphasize the heat. But both must be present for the story to be complete.

Hot here; cold there. Heat distribution not so rare. Hot places do NOT mean the world has a fever. It may just mean that the MSM has a bias infection. Too often in our modern world the MSM are advocates and NOT reporters. It’s an MSM condition for which the alternative media have become both the antibiotic and the vaccine.

CO2 may be at the same concentration in different areas that have vastly different climates proving that CO2 has nothing to do with climate change, global warming or crazy weather!

Mother Nature does not care how much CO2 is in the air.
