Climate Change - World is Warming

This was a headline from the Brisbane Courier Mail in 1950. CO2 was at a ‘safe’ level of CO2 concentration below the arbitrarily chosen 350ppm.

It seems climate change and a warming world have been a concern before the current hysteria about global warming.

No Snow, Spirits Low Along Eastern Coast

This was a headline from The Milwaukee Journal in 1950 where the winter recreation business was hit hard. We have heard these concerns expressly recently about our ski industry.

The World’s Weather is Just Crazy

Where have we heard this before? It seems people in 1950 also were concerned about how wild their weather was. Is it a perennial concern? People are always talking and complaining about the weather. It is a pastime of past times as well as our own time. However, we seem to have made it into a world crisis this time around with massive political undertones calling for a restructuring of western society. Bad weather is now our fault and we can do something about it? Isn’t that just crazy?

Wild Bushfires Scorch 60 Square Miles of Colorado

Sound familiar? Colorado fires are very worrying for some of us today. But they have happened before. This also occurred in 1950.

What would you conclude about these stories from 1950? Are things more worrisome now?

Here is a headline from 1951. These results are also in the science news today although you might not realize it as the connection is rarely mentioned.

MIT scientist Correctly Predicts Global Cooling - Based on Sunspots, Not CO2

There are scientists today who are pointing out that the sun is in a quiet cycle and the next cycle is expected to be even quieter. Four out of the last 5 winters have been cold and snowy. Perhaps the scientists who give the sun the major role as the driver of the climate are correct. In which case, all of our efforts to reduce CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is a very misguided and expensive solution to a non-problem.

Were they smarter in 1951?

And yet, also in 1951 we have this story.

100 Degree Heat Wave Lasts for 7 Weeks in Texas

It occurs to me that our weather today is not that much different from the weather in 1950-51. How about you? Shall we let the fear in us subside?

Do you still believe there is a CAGW crisis? This is a man made crisis concocted by politically motivated people who dislike the way the world is structured and will use dishonesty, fear and guilt to manipulate the world into adopting their preferred vision.

"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." ~ Club of Rome

One invented for the purpose. Dishonesty is OK if it will accomplish the goal. Love these people.

Game is up!
