Let The Fear In You Subside

My goodness you would think the world was going to end by the way some people talk about the weather.

Boxer: Global warming threatens 'the very lives of our grandchildren'

Boxer: '50% of God's species will be gone if we do nothing' on global warming

Including us perchance?

Hansen (et al) must read: Get back to 350 ppm or risk an ice-free planet

John Kerry: We Can’t Ignore the Security Threat from Climate Change

Admiral Says That CO2 Is Worse Than Pearl Harbor And Nuclear War

That last one seems a bit much.

They seem really frightened about the future of the planet and the world we are going to leave to our descendants. They are afraid of CO2 and want us to do something to combat climate change for which, apparently, we are solely responsible. Oh, the guilt! Can you bear it?

There is no need to fret. CAGW is but a delusion in the minds of people who want control over more aspects of your life. Frighten you and make you feel guilty is the stock and trade of the political elite.

"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.” ~ H.L Mencken

H.L. knew what he was talking about. None of the climate calamities that are being forecast have any basis in reality. The IPCC GCMs upon which they are predicated bear no resemblance to reality. GCMs are based on the assumption that CO2 is the main driving force of the climate change we have experienced during the late 20th century(1976-1998). But as CO2 concentration  has continued to rise temperatures have not. Therefore there is no additional energy available in the atmosphere to drive more extreme weather. But there was more sunlight in the 80s and 90s.

So sleep easy tonight secure in the knowledge that your activities on this earth are not responsible for any negative effects on the climate. You will have to put up with the politicians pursuing a phantom of the atmosphere for they are always the last to catch on that the people don’t care about climate change because it is a non-issue. They will implement some costly policies and claim to have solved the non-problem when it doesn’t show up which is always the case. They seek more control over your life and the policies they enact will give it to them.
