Is there any kind of weather that would convince a CAGW believer that CO2 is NOT the global warming control knob?
One wonders how they would recognize an impending ice age?
If global warming can disguise itself as cold weather would an ice age be proof of an overheated world?:
If global warming can masquerade as increasing snowfall what would convince them that the world is getting cooler?
Let’s commit fraud because winters are supposed to be getting warmer so if they don’t we will make them! So there!
And if CO2 is the cause of global warming but can manifest as coldness how does CO2 decide which to bring?
If whatever weather is happening outside your window is proof of global warming then there is nothing that can refute it. Science must be falsifiable.
"It seems like nowadays just about every meteorological phenomenon is a result of global warming. Whether it be increased temperatures, decreased temperatures, tornadoes, earthquakes or even volcanic eruptions, climate change is always the answer, and the majority of these conclusions are drawn with sparing evidence, if any. Meanwhile, any skepticism or dissenting opinion regarding these countless studies is dismissed as unscientific, when in reality, it is quite the opposite." ....
In its simplest sense, science is the formulation of hypotheses and the evaluation of said hypotheses through observation, experimentation or a mixture of both. What distinguishes science from pseudoscience, though, is whether or not these hypotheses can be disproven as well as proven, a trait known as falsifiability. According to Karl Popper, one of the most influential philosophers of science in the past millennium, “In so far as a scientific statement speaks about reality, it must be falsifiable; and in so far as it is not falsifiable, it does not speak about reality.” In context, the field of astrology — the study of the divine effect of the positions of celestial bodies on our lives — is pseudoscience because it violates this rule.
Can there be any doubt that the CO2 centric theory of global warming is a front for a political agenda and not a scientific inquiry?
H.L. Mencken, famous columnist: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
Man Made Global Warming by the human emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels is just such a hobgoblin.
Mencken also said: "The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it."
And here is the proof of that assertion.
Club of Rome: "In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill....All these dangers are caused by human intervention....and thus the “real enemy, then, is humanity itself....believe humanity requires a common motivation, namely a common adversary in order to realize world government. It does not matter if this common enemy is “a real one or….one invented for the purpose."
And yet within the scientific literature dissent from the ‘consensus settled science’ thesis can be found:
The belief in the CO2 centric theory of AGW foments acts of terrorism among the true believers.
False beliefs have bad consequences and the solutions offered don’t work.
Despite ....
Carbon taxes
Cap and trade schemes
Wind farms
Solar farms
EVs and
Biofuels
that have been developed, installed or implemented over the last 30 years...
And the global level of CO2 continues to increase unabated despite the ‘best efforts’ of humans to control it via the above policies
First the world warms then CO2 rises as it is outgassed from the ocean. The ice core records clearly show this. Solar activity drove us out of the LIA and then CO2 increased in the atmosphere.
“The frequency of cold waves have decreased during the past fifty years, not increased. That alone shows that such claims are baseless.”
A 2014 study led by Colorado State University climate scientist Elizabeth Barnes found no evidence to back up the theory that a lazy or wobbling jet stream was becoming more frequent.
There is nothing happening to our weather that is outside the bounds of natural variability. We are seeing nothing new under the sun.
