I used to be very concerned about climate change. So I decided I needed to really understand the actual science behind it. The more I learned the less it made any sense to me that a CO2 level of 430 PPM could possibly pose a problem. First I looked at the climate variations during the Holocene and was surprised to discover that the most reliable proxies indicate the planet was warmer than it is today for most of the last 10,000 years, and since the beginning of recorded history humanity has always thrived in the warmer times and suffered with the cold. The Minoan warm period, the Roman warm period and the Medieval warm period were all at least as warm as today if not warmer, and those are the times when the climate was most stable, crops yields were the highest and the human population grew. During the cold times in between people starved, diseases were rampant and populations fell. Then I looked into the physics and learned that extreme weather such as hurricanes, tornados, droughts and extreme hot and cold periods are all driven by cold polar air interacting with the warmer water and air from the equatorial areas. The more extreme the difference in temperature between these air masses, the more extreme weather events will occur. As the Earth warms the poles warm more than the equatorial areas, so that gradient between warm and cold is diminished and the climate becomes more mild. This is exactly what the historical weather records show, but the climate crisis crowd claims the exact opposite to be true. I also learned the greenhouse effect of CO2 diminishes logarithmically, and at the current level of 430 PPM it's already approaching the flat part of the curve. I knew that plants use CO2 for photosynthesis but I was surprised to learn that the optimal CO2 level for most plant life is 1000 to 1500 PPM, and that plants require less water as the CO2 level increases. If you look at the earliest images in Google Earth and compare them to today it's apparent that the Earth has actually become more green in recent years. I learned much more than this. These are just a few points that really stand out. The more I learned the more convinced I became that the so called "climate crisis" is a completely fabricated scam, relentlessly perpetrated by special interests with ulterior motives, Intergovernmental agencies seeking ever greater political influence, billionaire investors eager to develop new profit centers, and governments all around the world leveraging the issue to gain greater power to control the masses and forever driven to capitalize on a new potential source of taxation. Scientists are forced to toe the line by the social and political climate that's become so entrenched. This is the only kind of climate we should really be concerned about changing.
What probably won't be in the comments here: people arguing against specific points made here with credible studies or reasoning. Good summary of the issue, Keith!
Read these studies and explain to me why Michael Mann felt he needed to erase the well established mediaeval warm period when he created his bogus hockey stick graph? est.ufba.br/sites/est.ufba.br/files/kim/medievalwarmperiod.pdf
Yeah, I am old enough I have lived through 10 different prophets on how long the earth has left for humans, Since the 70s mind you :) None of them have come true !!!! Live in fear if you want to :) OH YEAH DRILL BABY DRILL !!!!!
