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.

CO2 and the Great Reset

Superstition --> Propaganda --> Groupthink 


How do you counteract Groupthink when the media, politicians, educators and those with vested interests perpetuate the myth of man made global warming from the human emission of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels? A global cabal of misleaders has developed into a con which funnels money from taxpayers into the pockets of the cabal. 


Many recent studies, experiments and articles push the stop button on the Great Reset.


Modern Global Warming is thought to be caused by the human emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels(FF). 

“An opportunity for a reset.” – Justin Trudeau

“A ‘great reset’ of capitalism.” – Klaus Schwab, World Economic Forum


‘The Great Reset’ – literally a presentation from the Bank of Canada on their website.


=============================================================================


Over the course of the pandemic the HUMAN emission of CO2 has decreased. 


Lockdowns Should Make Climate Activists Happy: Global carbon dioxide emissions decline 7% in 2020 – ‘The biggest drop ever’ – USA CO2 drops 12%, 

Europe drops 11% & China only drops 1.7% 


However, when you combine these decreases with the continued rise in GLOBAL CO2 emissions from both human and natural causes no dent can be seen in the overall trend which suggests that the human contribution to the growth of CO2 in our atmosphere is negligible.

CLINTEL study finds most of the CO2 increase is natural


A negligible effect on the global CO2 rise eliminates human responsibility for the climate change to which we bear witness. Something else must be the primary factor(s) in climate change. 


SCIENTIFIC PAPER “PROVES” CLOUDS CONTROL THE CLIMATE, NOT MAN


A natural open atmospheric experiment reported below exonerates CO2 from the crime of man made climate change. While politicians plod along with outdated information science continues to advance in ways that contradict the official narrative. Can we expect politicians to announce these results and do a policy about face? The pursuit of reduced CO2 emissions via  ‘green energy’ is now pointless. The subsidies to unreliable wind and solar can be ended. There is no need for the electric highway for e-cars. These policies are a big waste of resources and should cease immediately.  The results below were known in the mid 1990s.


Actual Experiment Proves As CO2 Rises, Surface Temps Drop

 

Real-World Outdoor Experiment: As CO2 Naturally Rises From 1% To 75%, Surface Temperatures Drop 10°C

 

 Laboratory experiments in a closed system further increase the doubt about the temperature raising properties of CO2.

 

Bite Sized NIBLET Number 4: CO2 Dims Tungsten Filament


A New Experiment Finds Just A 1.3°C Temperature Differential For Contained Air With 0.05% Versus 100% CO2


Other data from the past also trash the hypothesis that CO2 as the thermostat controlling the climate.


Modern Iceland’s Climate Is Colder With More Ice Than Any Other Time In The Last 8000 Years Except The 1800s

 

New Evidence That the Ancient Climate Was Warmer than Today’s – ‘Roman Warming was the warmest in the last 2,000 years’

 

If it was warmer(less Iceland ice) in the past when atmospheric CO2 concentration was lower than it is today then CO2 CANNOT be the thermostat controlling temperatures on the Earth. 


Should we be alarmed if CO2 keeps increasing? 


We now know that the answer to that question is NO.


The EPA CO2 endangerment clause can be rescinded. 

 

Watch: Climatologist explains why EPA Endangerment Finding on CO2 should be vacated


Addendum to a Research Report Challenging the EPA's CO2 Endangerment Finding (5 February 2020)


Studies continue to be published which call into question the correlation between temperature and CO2 concentration. 


2 More Studies Affirm A Glaring Lack Of Correlation Between CO2 And Temperature


Study: CO2 Has Negligible Role In Warming, ‘Effectively Unmeasurable’


30+ Years After Claiming That CO2 Was The 'Control Knob' For Planetary Temperatures It's Still M.I.A.


And then there are findings which throw a wrench into the gears of the global warming by CO2 narrative. The rise in CO2 may actually be mitigating the minor warming the Earth has experienced since 1850. 


New Paper Affirms CO2 Has Earth-Cooling Effect

 

Is Global CO2 Fertilisation Cooling The ‘Greenhouse Effect’?

 

New Experimental Evidence: The Atmosphere Cools As More CO2 Is Added…High CO2 ‘May Enhance Net Heat Loss’

 

Carbon Dioxide Is A Cooling Gas According To NASA

 

 2020 Review: Observational And Modeling Studies Show Temperature Falls As CO2 Rises


In fact, there is evidence that CO2 does NOT drive temperature rise but that the exact opposite is the case.


New Study Finds Robust Statistical Probability Temperature Drives CO2 Changes, Upending ‘Scientific Perception’


The LACK of increased extreme weather also calls into doubt the magical climate altering qualities of CO2. If extreme weather is NOT increasing then CO2 must lack the climate catering superpower which it is ASSUMED to possess. 


CO2 Has To Be Suppressing Tropical Storms, If CO2 Is A Formation Factor Like NASA Scientists Suggest

 

Scientific opinion continues to accumulate that our understanding of the connection between CO2 and climate change is wrong.

We owe CO2 an apology. CO2 is beneficial. Life on this planet does not happen without it.

New research highlights how plants are slowing global warming

 

Never has such a life giving gas been so wrongfully maligned. It borders on religious superstition NOT on science based in reality. How could so many be so confused for so long?

 

No GREAT RESET is required. The planet is NOT in danger from Man Made Climate Change. 

 

 

This is good news is it not? All the guilt we have been subjected to can be let go. We can drive our cars, heat or cool our homes, eat meat, fly to far away places guilt free. Why has NONE of THIS been presented relentlessly in the mainstream media? Hobgoblins!

 

 

 

The hobgoblin is gone, a figment of the alarmist imagination of misguided social activists and control freaks. RIP.

Liberty and the Coronavirus


Life is a risky business.

What climate alarmists have been trying to do since the inception of the IPCC in 1988 the coronavirus has accomplished in a few months - shut down western society in order to reduce human CO2 emissions.

Planes are being grounded, there are fewer cars on the road and industry is shutting down as people are told or ordered to remain in their homes to combat the  spread of the Chinese COVid19 virus. There are those who applaud the imposition of a sequestration order. 

Socialism by virus. How easily we gave up our freedoms and without so much as a whimper. 

"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

They should have come up with a virus rather than climate change et al. 


A viral epidemic is an imminent threat; climate change is not.


There is no evidence for this. It is an assumption.


Is it troubling to witness how easily we cede our freedoms to the dictates of the state? 

There are those who issue freedom warnings. 








Will we hear them? Will we listen?
















Have we acted in panic too radically too soon?















Shock: Govt Study Proves Flu Vaccination Link To Coronavirus - could this be why lots of old people are dying from the coronavirus? The elderly are also often full of different medicines for different ailments all or some of which may actually weaken their immune systems. 

When panic sets in people with and without the virus scramble for esteemed essentials in the stores. This concentrates people and obviously does NOT foster social distance. Could the big jump in cases we are now witnessing be the result of this initial panic created by dire warnings and imposed lockdowns on non-essential movement?

in America and the world the 2009 swine flu killed 12,000 and 300,000, respectively; the 1968 Hong Kong flu killed 100,000 and 1,000,000; and the 1918 Spanish Flu, 600,000 and 40,000,000. The dramatic decline in deaths over the past century is a very good reason for optimism.”








Italy’s lockdown doesn’t seem to work- watch them become even more draconian








Treatments and cures seem to exist. Are we panicking for nothing?? 


Researchers in the UK, France, Australia and Japan have been adapting already known drugs to fight the coronavirus with great success as well as working on a vaccine. 









Perhaps we panic too soon but the precedent has been set. The state can take away our rights and freedoms at the drop of an invisible virus and we gave them up without so much as a whimper. Do we deserve them? 






We do not stop the world to prevent death from other causes. 


We accept death as an inevitable fact of life. We  inform people of the risks involved with a threat and allow them to assess those risks and make their own decisions as to how they will deal with threats both known and unknown. In a free country we do not proscribe their behaviour although we do hold them accountable should they knowingly infect others. As someone once morbidly observed: Life is a terminal disease. No one gets out alive. 


Questioning the wisdom of sacrificing liberty on the altar of state protection has been around for a long time. 

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”Benjamin Franklin


Let’s hope we don’t come to regret it. We should always Question Authority

Life is a risky business. No one gets out alive. Prior to the virus we were judged capable of assessing those risks and acting accordingly. There will always be some who are irresponsible such as those who have had too much to drink and still get behind the wheel. But we do not order everyone to stay at home in order to prevent the lethal motor vehicle accidents that are sure to follow. Freedom is rated higher than the deaths from the inevitable road accidents. 

When challenged, those who wield the power of lockdown, call those who protest the removal of their civil rights  ‘yahoos’ and accuse them of wanting to murder their fellow citizens by not staying home. This sense of moral outrage has no place in a free society where free humans are quite capable of assessing the risk that the virus poses to themselves and others. If you think the risk is high - stay home. If you still want to go to a bar, a restaurant or a ballgame the choice should be yours. 

Precautions should be taken for the infirm or the elderly populations who are most vulnerable to covid19. Don’t we do this every flu season? But we don’t shut down half of civilization in order to do it. We let freedom reign. It may seem unjust that people must die but die they must. A human life is not eternal. 

Franklin’s quote bears repeating.

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”Benjamin Franklin
