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.

Adapting to CC

We may wish for stability in good weather but variability is a feature of our atmosphere not a bug. Our atmosphere is not a static environment. It is an anarchic mix of molecules in various states of kinetic frenzy, a whirling, swirling, twirling, fluid, chaotic, ever changing soup of unpredictable turmoil  From this tumult stability does not emerge for long. Once upon a time back in 2001 the IPCC was aware of that truth.

” … In climate research and modelling, we should recognise that we are dealing
with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the
long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.”
From the 3rd IPCC report, Section 14.2 “The Climate System”, page 774.
Earth rotates, it tilts, it wobbles, it orbits, it is pushed and pulled by sun. moon and planets. From this, stability is but a pipe dream, an unexpected respite in a world of constant change. We live in atmospheric bedlam buffeted by our ingenuity and will to survive. Weather and climate change can be unpleasant but are not sufficient to wipe us all out.

The climate has always changed so it is no surprise that our generation faces what has always happened. Climate changes continuously. This is not news. When hasn’t it been prudent to prepare for and adapt to the worst weather that an area has ever experienced? Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

    We will weather the weather whatever the weather whether we like it or not.

Economic development allows us the luxury to weather the weather. Rapid fossil fuel exploitation and deployment underwrites the robust development that is our best protection against the vagaries of Mother Nature. Some protective actions that can be taken (list not meant to be exhaustive):

Dredge rivers in areas prone to floods.
Don’t build on flood plains. They got that name for a reason.
Develop water catchment facilities in areas prone to occasional drought. See NAtional Geographic on Ethiopia.
Maintain forest firebreaks and clean out the underbrush in boreal forests near population centers at risk

Reliable cheap electricity provided by fossil fuels will assist low income households to keep the heat on in winter and the air conditioning humming in summer. Fossil fuels are ideally suited to provide electricity  because they create power that is dispatchable, reliable, cheap, portable and doesn’t require backup. They are the backup.

New pipelines are essential for the development of an effective strategy to combat the vicissitudes of a chaotic, unpredictable climate. In Canada, we do not want to be left defenseless against the polar vortex or fires in our boreal forest.

Robust economic development around the world is our best defense against extreme weather. It allows us to rush necessities to areas that experience ruinous weather over which we have no control. Widespread economic development allows the human population to adapt to climate change with stronger buildings and better breakwalls. Global economic development is humanity's best defense against extreme climate change. Fossil fuels underwrote the development of the West. Why deny this to the 1.3 billion of humanity still without electricity? Would that not be immoral?


Do we want  this to happen in Canada? Should we not learn from the mistakes of others?

If CO2 is the cause of extreme weather than how do you explain a cyclone Killa in Manila while in Hawaii it is just another day in paradise. Same amount of CO2 in the air but different results on the same day. What turns CO2 from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde? And when we start asking that question we are no longer looking at CO2 as the primary driver of the climate. Something(s) else must have the prime responsibility for the occurrence of extreme weather conditions and changing local climate. Doesn’t that suggest to you that CO2 has nothing to do with it? The laws of physics are not different in Manila and Hawaii. What conditions were different? Shouldn’t we look for an answer to that question to uncover the secret behind extreme weather occurrences?


They mean climate change at the hands of CO2..

Enjoy your CO2 today. It is keeping you alive!
Perhaps this makes the social BENEFITS of CO2 PRICELESS. What do you think?

Sometimes ZERO is the right answer

We want a price of zero. Here’s why.




How much pain have they caused us, the evils that never happened. ~Thomas Jefferson

CO2 is NOT a pollutant. It is not a poison. It is our friend. Try breathing without it.

My rumour mill is atwitter with whispers that my fruits and veggies love CO2. And so do yours.

"In the last 80 years, as CO2 emissions have most rapidly escalated, the annual rate of climate-related deaths worldwide fell by an incredible 98%. This means the incidence of death from climate is 50 times lower than it was 80 years ago," writes Epstein.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood. The truth has come out as we knew it would.

We owe CO2 an apology.

CO2, an invisible gas essential to life on Earth, is plant food and if feeding the flora is a dangerous transformation of life on this planet my fruits and veggies are in its debt. 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. From this evil comes?

Future generations will look back at this time and wonder how so many people could be taken in by the ‘hate fossil fuel’ hysteria. It will be the focus of Phd studies on how people could fall for the delusion that CO2 is a toxic pollutant. We exhale it people. It is in your lungs in concentrations approaching 40,000 ppm. How are you feeling? It is in the ambient air at 400 ppm and has been as high as 8000 ppm within the last 570 million years. We are here. There was no tipping point no runaway global warming beyond which the planet became uninhabitable.

Plants grow better, stronger, faster because of the increasing concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.

In concluding, the U.S. research team declares that "from this remarkable 30-year archive of satellite imagery, we thus see evidence of a greening trend," which clearly indicates that the net result of the climatic and physiological effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment on Earth's terrestrial plant life has in the mean been decidedly beneficial.

Apart from that CO2 has no redeeming features

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

CO2 is clean and green. CO2 is a friend with BENEFITS. Must you eat? Then the social BENEFITS of CO2 are PRICELESS. We need more of it not less. The globe is greening. This is a sign that CO2 is benign. CO2 has been exhaled during the creation of this post. No living thing was harmed. Some even liked it. Let the plants dance.

The EPA’s ruling that CO2 ‘endangers health and welfare’ itself endangers health and welfare. CO2 is a trace gas essential to life on Earth. Demonizing CO2 and curtailing human emissions of CO2 will maintain poverty in underdeveloped nations as well as lower the living standards of people in developed countries. It is a ruling that will set us on a path that can do nothing but harm to the health, wealth and comfort of humans. The elite will rationalize their continued use of fossil fuels as essential to the survival of the nation. They will relieve their guilt about fossil fuel use by curtailing your use of it. Since you use less, less is used so the usage of the 1% will be miniscule in comparison to the savings from your impoverishment. You are sacrificed on the altar of elitist guilt. They must oversee your sacrifice for the good of the nation.


Icecap comment. This season beat out 2004 and 2009 for US crop yields with a global glut of produce. Ideal weather conditon(sic) combined with higher CO2 has improved productivity. CO2 is plant food. Even in drought ridden California, CO2 helped to limit losses by enhancing growth and reducing water needs. The losses would have been much greater with lower CO2 levels.







Tell the truth!    Tell the truth!

Ask a commercial greenhouse operator if they would like 800 to 1200 ppm CO2 in the ambient air. It would save them money.

They mean climate change at the hands of CO2..

Enjoy your CO2 today. It is keeping you alive!

Perhaps this makes the social BENEFITS of CO2 PRICELESS. What do you think?


For free minds and free markets,

More people now truly resent,
How warmists will always present,
Their misguided view,
That to fight CO2,
Protects the environment.

UN Green Climate Fund

                       
UN Green Climate Fund has more money than projects                  No possibility of corruption here.

The line forms on the left. Let’s get hysterical, hysterical  We’re gonna get hysterical Let’s get into hysterical Let me hear your money talk, your money talk..
                       
Poor countries want $3 TRILLION to deliver on Paris climate commitments            Western taxpayers are expected to just cough it up.

Well, that didn’t take long.
                       
Why do green groups and states support EPA?                            Because EPA pays them.

Government buys support with taxpayer money. It is quite a racket. You can buy as much support as you are willing to pay for. Too many parasites will eventually kill the host.

                       
Resolute Files Racketeering Suit Against Greenpeace in U.S. Federal Court             Greens are the racketeers.

May Resolute remain resolute.
                       
Supreme Court Delivers Huge Blow To EPA’s Ability To Control Private Property                 “Today’s ruling marks a long-awaited victory for individual liberty, property rights, and the rule of law.”

Stickin’ it to the man. Chalk one up for freedom. It is not dead yet!
