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.

Crazy Calamitous Climate Change Champions

The C5s are blaming everything on us CO2 induced climate change cretins. We emit CO2 and that spoils everything. Here’s what I mean:

Uh, huh. Anything else?


That can’t be good but somehow alarmist hyperbole has lost its lustre with me. Maybe it is because the ‘end times’ have this abysmal habit of not showing up at the party.

Here is another doomsayer.


How is $90 billion thrown at clean energy programs a ‘lack of action’? A waste of money maybe but hardly a lack of action.


Oh, OK. We should stop using it right away. CO2 (coal plant emissions) drives people to kill themselves. We must save these people. One wonders if losing one’s job in coal mining will have any effect on suicide rates. Maybe it is OK for those people to take care of themselves.


Wow. Like there was a time when armed conflict wasn’t a part of human existence. If only we had known sooner how to stop fighting amongst ourselves. But, wait. We emit CO2. Oh, now all becomes clear. If we all hold our breath together there will be no more armed conflict between humans because we will all asphyxiate ourselves. Brilliant! Give this man an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize. Or, perhaps we need to implement the Nobel Prize for excellence in stupidity   


Damn, somebody else thought of it first. The alarmists have gone totally batty. And these are our intellectual elite? Maybe they would like to volunteer for that Mars expedition where they don’t come back.     

Can I nominate this fellow?


In other words Joe, it would be nice to be a Neanderthal? They didn’t have fossil fuels and they became fossils. We are on a roll here. And he is among our leaders. Pathetic!


You eat insects. Some like it hot.


Like that is going to happen!


And if CO2 doesn’t kill them then they may get wiped out from all the unmanaged wilderness that the enviros are creating when it goes up in flames. Pristine carries dangers. Fire destroys habitat, plants and animals. My suspicion is there is a greater danger to biodiversity from forest fires than from CO2. Would there be fewer fires if humans were allowed once again to earn their living from forestry? Ironically, saving the spotted owl may result in its guaranteed destruction. The law of unintended consequences strikes again.


CO2 can do nothing right. Extreme weather can be unkind to humans. Except that it has been getting less extreme. An there has always been extreme weather regardless of the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. We will learn to adapt as we always have.


More advocates for the Neanderthal lifestyle of the ditch and heinous. Will they lead by example or only pontificate from the luxury of their ivory towers? That was a rhetorical question.


Looks like our ancestors had their scare mongers too! Well, we got over that one. Fast forward to our age and now we worry about overhead transmission lines and cell phones. Some of us are not happy without an ‘end times’ scenario to worry about. Some people have the strangest hobbies.

All this is especially nutty when you consider the evidence for the beneficence of CO2.

We owe CO2 an apology.

CO2, a trace gas essential to life on Earth, is plant food. We exhale CO2 and help to feed the flora. In return they slip us oxygen of which we are rather fond in a mutually beneficial and amicable symbiotic relationship.

Apart from that CO2 has no redeeming features

We need to stop all activities aimed at decreasing human emissions of CO2.

CO2 is green. We need more of it not less. CO2 has been exhaled during the creation of this post. No living thing was harmed. Some even liked it. Let the plants dance.
This is Obama’s evidence that climate change is out of control.


The POTUS believes nonsense and that is disturbing.
