Advocates for control over human emissions of CO2 often warn of the fearsome weather to descend upon us if we do not follow their prescription for reducing CO2 emissions. They warn of superstorms, floods, droughts and even blizzards as the world warms if we don’t succumb to their schemes to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
Each bad weather event is presented as a glimpse into the future.
But can the wailing warmists cannot point to a time in the past when the weather was not visiting terrible extremes upon us? Such a time of fluffy white clouds and gentle summer rain has never existed without the interruption of more severe weather. History is a witness to that.
And rising concentrations of CO2 in the air do not correlate with an increase in the frequency or severity of bad weather. Those who say it does display their ignorance of weather history.
Asking warmists to what year they would like to return may help to open their eyes to the fact that nothing out of the ordinary is happening now that didn’t also occur in the past. They will also discover that current trends are in the opposite direction to that forecast for the future and this even as CO2 continues to increase in the atmosphere. CO2 is not the demon it has been made out to be. They can let the guilt and fear in them subside.
