We see, hear and read a lot about a ‘human-caused climate crisis leading to imminent extinction of life on the planet.’ We hear about the ‘goal of net zero CO2’ or ‘net zero carbon.’
The climate change issue has taken on a religious fervor and crusade in many circles and by millions of people who believe we are on the path to the end of life on earth due to climate change. On the other side of the spectrum are those who dismiss the idea there is a climate crisis at all - much less one caused by humans.
The debate over climate change is hot and heavy. So what’s the truth? What does the true science say?
Scientific Principle #1: The Climate Changes!The first and most fundamental scientific principle and fact is that earth’s climate has been changing for billions of years. Climate has undergone dozens of volatile ups and downs throughout history, going through several heating and cooling cycles - each lasting thousands, hundreds of thousands or millions of years. And CO2 levels have changed over that time as well.
Here are some graphs illustrating this. Look at the ups and downs just over the past 2,000 years.
Let’s take a little longer look, going back 15,000 years. See how the temperature has fluctuated?
Let’s go back even further, the past 450 Million years. Look at all these cycles of natural heating and cooling:
Here are the heating and cooling cycles over the past 4 Billion years. Also note the dramatic changes in CO2 levels - that are independent of humans:
These are
natural (of or related to nature) cycles caused by
- changes in the earth itself,
- the sun and
- earth’s orbit around the sun.
Scientific Principle #2: Pollution vs Climate ChangePollution is a serious threat to life in the world - but is not a driver of climate change. Toxins and carcinogens dumped into the soil, water and air cause all sorts of harmful effects:
- Medical conditions and diseases such as cancers, respiratory illnesses, blood disorders and fatigue
- Depletion of nutrients in soil, which results in nutrient deficiencies in food, which in turn lead to increases in various illnesses and a general decline in health
- Lower-quality or toxic air and water, the two most important things all life needs to live.
- A deteriorating environment that is less pleasant to live in, which can become foul and depress quality of life.
So pollutants are a serious, life-threatening condition which must be handled and resolved. Rational, common-sense environmental policies are needed, and carcinogenic and toxic products should be banned - for obvious and multiple reasons.
...
We can keep our economies humming with coal, oil and gas-driven systems while employing technologies to absorb and clean the resulting pollutants, preventing them from entering soil, air and water.
Rational environmentalism means applying basic, common-sense policies to prevent pollutants and toxins from poisoning our air, soil, food and water. Tree-hugging, over-the-top, hysterical, radical, extremist environmentalism is unnecessary and counter-productive.
However,
as detrimental to health and life as pollution is, the climate isn’t changing because of it.
So the second scientific principle is that there is an enormous difference between pollution and climate change.
The Climate ScienceLet’s have actual, legitimate climate experts answer the question: Is there a climate crisis caused by humans?
“There is no climate emergency.” -
Declaration signed by 1,860 scientistshttps://clintel.org/wp-content/uploads/ ... tid=Zxz2cZ“There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.” -

There Is No Climate Emergency, Say 500 Experts in Letter to the United Nations1. Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming.
2. Climate policy relies on inadequate models.
3. CO2 is not a pollutant. It is a plant food that is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
4. Global warming has not increased natural disasters.
5. Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities.6. There is no climate emergency.

Human produced carbon dioxide is not causing the climate to change.The global temperatures and CO2 levels have been changing between extremes for millions of years!Only 0.3% scientists (not 97%) believe humans are causing climate change!
The amount of human-produced CO2 in the atmosphere is negligible!
Increased CO2 is not causing weather extremes!
CO2 is safe, good and not a pollutant!
“Human produced CO2 is causing climate change" is political!

Although ostensibly the IPCC [UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is a scientific body, the findings of its scientists are frequently distorted and hyped by the government and NGO [non governmental organizations] bureaucrats who dominate the organization. The bureaucrats have played a major role in exaggerating the scientific conclusions of successive IPCC reports and escalating the rhetoric of its official pronouncements.” - Dr. Ralph Alexander, physicist

“CO2 follows temperature, which, itself, is due to solar activity. During the ice ages, we had great temperature variations, and this has to do with, not straight-up solar activity, but the amount of solar activity that is hitting the Earth at certain important latitudes, all caused by celestial events.” - Prof. Ian Clark, Dept. of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Univ. of Ottawa

https://anglicanmainstream.org/meteorol ... emergency/“It is beyond me why my colleagues would utilize the media to push an unsupported agenda that recent hurricane activity has been due to global warming. I found it a bit perplexing that the participants in the Harvard press conference had come to the conclusion that global warming was impacting hurricane activity today. To my knowledge, none of the participants in that press conference had performed any research on hurricane variability, nor were they reporting on any new work in the field. All previous and current research in the area of hurricane variability has shown no reliable, long-term trend up in the frequency or intensity of tropical cyclones, either in the Atlantic or any other basin. The IPCC assessments in 1995 and 2001 also concluded that there was no global warming signal found in the hurricane record.” - Dr. Christopher Landsea, meteorologist

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFHX526NPbE“The U.N. is planning for countries to cut emissions to as close to zero as possible by 2050. The plan is collective suicide. It started with the hysteria of the New Ice Age and a little-known CIA report in 1974 that claimed that a major climatic change was underway. Later, the ‘global cooling’ alarmism morphed into its opposite, by employing the false notion of global warming due to excess CO2 - which is chemically a falsehood.” - Malgosia Askanas, senior research and development associate at Aurora Biophysics Research Institute

“While the scientific community has become addicted to blindly using these computer programs to fix the data biases, until recently nobody has bothered to look under the hood to see if the programs work when applied to real temperature data. When we looked under the hood, we found that there was a hamster running in a wheel instead of an engine.” - Dr. Ronan Connolly, climate scientist
