So you can believe mentally handicapped wunderkind Greta Thunderpants, who has ZERO training in meteorology, or these folks below.
"Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”
“Inevitably in climate science, when data conflicts with models, a small coterie of scientists can be counted upon to modify the data...That the data should always need correcting to agree with models is totally implausible and indicative of a certain corruption within the climate science community.” Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science, MIT
Claude Allegre, a “founding father of AGW theory,” has now come out against this, stating “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”
“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that carbon dioxide from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. “It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that carbon dioxide, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.”— Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, MIT. Source https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf
Lindzen also wrote “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”
Dr Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the last 50 to 100 years.
Piers Corbin, astrophysicist, founder of Weather Action, 2002 said that current weather patterns have nothing to do with man-made climate change. Instead, Corbin flatly states that those pushing this narrative are just trying to make money. “Climate has always been changing,” and “this has nothing to do with man.” Weather this year is “caused by circulation patterns… and CO2 does not cause circulation patterns. What causes those is a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon” ; the only connection with man is that he is “here at the same time the sun and the moon are doing things. A very similar situation happened about 132 years ago where there was the same sun, magnetic, lunar states (and) there was a heat wave in Russia and floods in Pakistan as now. These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon and nothing to do with mankind. Those who say that are just trying to make money… I assure you, this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide” In his words, see here, 2:27 min.
“The climate scare (is) the biggest deception in history…”Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba
Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.
“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.
“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.
“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review. (Note: there really IS a Flat Earth Society, at http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/, whose president Daniel Shenton, thinks “the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage is contributing to global warming.” (See www.tinyurl.com/ozn2wfe. So much for Obama’s comment that “We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”
“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The recent World Climate Declaration signed by around 250 university professors, and led by a Nobel physics laureate, noted that models had many shortcomings, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools” This declaration notes that natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming, warming is far slower than predicted, climate policy relies on inadequate models, CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth, global warming has not increased natural disasters, and that climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. Here are all the PhD signatories.
“The present era is one of the coolest and least carbon-intensive periods of the last 600 million years. Indeed, the geological and paleontological evidence overwhelmingly says that today’s average global temperature of about 15 degrees C and CO2 concentrations of 420 ppm are nothing to fret about, and even if they rise to about 17-18 degrees C and 500-600 ppms by the end of the century, it may well on balance improve the lot of mankind. After all, bursts of civilization during the last 10,000 years uniformly occurred during the red portion of the graph below–the river civilizations, the Minoan, the Greco-Roman era, the Medieval flowering and the industrial and technological revolutions of the present era. At the same time, the several lapses into dark ages happened when the climate turned colder (blue area). And that’s only logical. When its warmer and wetter, growing seasons are longer and crop yields are better—regardless of the agricultural technology and practices of the moment. And it’s better for human and community health, too—most of the deadly plagues of history have occurred under colder climes, such as the Black Death of 1344-1350 … (the warmers narrative) ignores the entirety of the planet’s pre-Holocene (last 10,000 years) history, even though the science shows that more than 50% of the time in the last 600 million years global temperatures were in the range of 25 degrees C or 67% higher than current levels and far beyond anything projected by the most unhinged climate models today. But, crucially, at those temperature peaks planetary climate systems did not go into a doomsday loop of scorching meltdown—warming was always checked and reversed by powerful counter-veiling forces.” David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan
A good friend of mine also a NASA scientist wrote a book called The Cold Sun. His name is John Casey. Climate is cyclical always was and always will be and the sun controls the climate. The climate hoax was created to push UN Agenda 21. They knew no one would go along with their plan for global communism. So they had to create a global boogie man. It had to be something that affects the entire world. They first settled on global warming and when they proved the science was a fraud they changed it to climate change. It is much harder to disprove climate change because it does and always will change but they had to lie and convince an uninformed public it was caused by man and put the fear in to people convincing them the earth would shrivel up and die if we don't start depopulating and allow the sociopaths in this world control all human and animal activities.
WOW. Thanks a lot. I will surely share this in one of my substacks next week. WHY would anyone want eat or even trust these lab grown fake products? Just like people taking an injection that was experimental using humans as the lab rats??? I would be the farm that Gates nor any of his "elitist" friends would ever think of taking vaccines or eating the fake food they will be forcing on us. They are destroying farms all over the world in order to force people to eat their poison. This is flat out depopulation and they have been working on it for many, many decades. 100 years that I can trace.
...interesting article which i scanned quickly thanks ...must read properly later i mean...heres a link i'm not sure if its the docu i have in mind...however anything with Pilger is close to the bone ...https://youtu.be/vAfeYMONj9E ...and heres a good link ...https://substack.com/@jeffjbrown ...
The first is 3 years old. We live in a much different world today. China has NO fear of the US at all. They have their boy in the White House. The military has been decimated. No it the US that needs to be worried and anyone that is awake knows we are in deep trouble not only from other countries but from our own government.
...the changes are happening so quickly...i agree the US is in deep touble...is there something of a possibility, perhaps obvious...that China has long been a project of the same nefarious forces undermining the US even before the current hateful regime are set in place...i must dig out soon some convincing factual articles relating to this...are the Technocrats hiding beneath the admittedly heavy veneer of the CCP?...how many states are lost u reckon!...and don't forget ur meeting ur family!...
...enjoy ur time with family Karen...life is shorter than we realize!...btw ...how many states besides Ca. u mentioned are lost as u see it...could u identify them?...i must refresh my acquaintance with thought provoking passages that are relevant to the current situation in Emerson's Essay on Compensation...i'm becoming a bit wary of how some of my comments may be perceived by Americans...i have a sense that over there u are heavily oriented towards various religious and perhaps other orthodoxies and if so how does this affect ur general situation...in many ways perhaps America is a huge enigma...do people grate at the prospect of anything outside of a hyper conservative approach...the 'Oirish' have generally rejected the orthodoxy of the CC ...and appear to have as a consequence descended into a moral and intellectual void...in addition to which there seems to be a disconnect from wild(free) animals and nature...there's a lack of empathy has emerged...the concern about illegal immigrants is warranted however i think, and somewhat obscures the possibility we have become 'alien' to our long established natures as a people...situated in the Atlantic we seem to perceive us in a manner of our existing already in a superficial environment expressive of a 'metaverse' of merely of a regressive virtual sort!...again, enjoy those special days of family Karen and thanks for the article/links above...plenty to 'do'...!!!...
Thanks Gerry. I plan to enjoy every minute. My entire family lives in either NJ (most of them) CA and FL. I am in TN so I do not get to see them as much as I would like. There was a time when I lived in NJ (where I was raised) I was surrounded by family and friends. Not so much anymore. So when they come I am in heaven.
...comment edited since ur reply...d'u mean that there are fewer folk around u hardly regard as friends...that seems to be a broad and energing trend ...i sense it myself...i dread its impacts on peoples lives...Crusoe's island Mondays to Thurdays ...including week-ends ...however excluding 'Fridays'!...🤔...
“Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.
“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” - Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.
A paper has been published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), written by meteorologist William Kininmonth, a former consultant to the World Meteorological Organisation’s Commission for Climatology and former head of the Australian Government’s National Climate Centre. Kininmonth argues that the oceans are the “vital inertial and thermal flywheels” of the climate system. If one wants to control climate, it will be necessary to control the oceans, he argues. “Efforts to decarbonise in the hope of affecting global temperatures will be in vain,” he adds. In Kininmonth’s view, the recent warming is “probably simply the result of fluctuations in the ever-changing ocean circulation”. CO2 “must be recognised” as a very minor contributor to the observed warming, and one that is unlikely to prolong the warming trend beyond the peak generated by the natural oceanic oscillations” The main driver of global temperature is, he says in the article, the movement of energy in water, both in the oceans and the atmosphere after evaporation. Daily Skeptic summarizes his research stating “Kininmonth proposes that tropical oceans have warmed recently, not as a result of additional atmospheric CO2, but most likely because of a reduction of heat as ocean currents have slowed. Heat has been exchanged with the tropical atmosphere, and transported by the winds to enhance northern polar warming. It is accepted that warming over the Arctic has been greater in the recent past than elsewhere over the globe. Ocean surface temperature in the tropics has warmed much less than the Arctic. However Arctic warming has occurred predominantly during the cold winter half of the year, when the surface is largely in darkness. For Kininmonth, this implies that it can only be the result of heat transport from warmer latitudes.”
“Once you start doubting, just like you’re supposed to doubt. You ask me if the science is true and we say ‘No, no, we don’t know what’s true, we’re trying to find out, everything is possibly wrong’ … When you doubt and ask it gets a little harder to believe. I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing, than to have answers which might be wrong.” —Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman (1981)
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another….Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so…Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver’s seat and developing nations walking barefoot.” - Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.
“The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.” - Award-winning Paleontologist Dr. Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of La Plata.
“Climate is not responding to greenhouse gases in the way we thought it might. If increasing carbon dioxide is in fact increasing climate change, its impact is smaller than natural variation.”Prof Christopher de Freitas, of the University of Auckland, NZ said there was no evidence to suggest carbon dioxide was the major driver of climate change (see http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/8039) (In 2003, Dr. de Freitas, who edits the journal Climate Research, had published a peer-reviewed article saying the recent warming is not unusual, relative to previous historical climate changes in the past 1,000 years. As you might suspect, Dr. de Freitas had to withstand multiple demands he be fired from his editorial job, as well as his university position.
“We’re not scientifically there yet. Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem. Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for another 150 years.” — UN IPCC’s Tom Tripp, a member of the UN IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] since 2004 and listed as one of the lead authors and serves as the Director of Technical Services & Development for U.S. Magnesium.
“The dysfunctional nature of the climate sciences is nothing short of a scandal. Science is too important for our society to be misused in the way it has been done within the Climate Science Community.” The global warming establishment “has actively suppressed research results presented by researchers that do not comply with the dogma of the [UN] IPCC.” — Swedish Climatologist Dr. Hans Jelbring of the Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics Unit at Stockholm University.
“There is no consensus in science. Science isn’t a vote, science is about facts
There IS no global warming…. The government puts out about $2 ½ billion dollars directly for climate research every year. It ONLY gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that will support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat party position, so they don’t have any choice. If you are going to get the money, you gotta support their position. Therefor, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming. Why? Because those are the ones the government pays for, and that’s where the money is… that doesn’t make it right, that doesn’t make it true, that only makes it bought and paid for. There is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn’t been any in the past, and there’s no reason to expect any in the future…. There is a whole lot of baloney, and yes it has become a big political point of the Democrat party and part of their platform and I regret it has become political rather than scientific. “
The truth is, for upwards of 90% of the time during the last 600 million years of the Earth’s relentless "climate change", the average temperature has been well above the current 15 C, sometimes by as much as 10 C higher. – David Stockman, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget (1981–1985
The European Foundation listed here 100 reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made, including the fact that “Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.” Or as the most widely quoted meteorologist in history – and whom my brother studied under – Reid Bryson said, “If the climate were a 100 story building, man’s contribution would be equal to the linoleum on the first floor,” and “You could spit in the ocean and have more effect on it than man’s contribution to climate.” The Foundation also notes: “After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940; Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high; the 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends; The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited; Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming; Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago;
Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds; Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”;
Also per Patrick Moore: “Carbon is the basis of all life… the whole thing is completely back asswards… CO2 is lower now, even with our additions to it, than it has been during almost the entire the history of the planet… it is certainly not proven that CO2 is too high and we’re all going to fry… the fact is, it is colder now than it has been for almost the entire history of earth… we don’t really know why ice ages happen… the temperature of the earth has been much warmer than it is now… we have been in a 50-year cooling period (the equator remains fairly steady, while the poles get most of the change he notes) it took 10,000 years to come out of the last, most recent glaciation, which peaked about 20,000 years ago… to all knowledge we have, it has been cooling for the last 6,000 years…we’re now beginning the slide into the next major glaciation… (the warmers, ignoring the fact that we are still below the 3,000 year average temperature and below the MWP) don’t care about anything that happened before 1850…the reason they are able to get away with all the scare stories is because CO2 is invisible… carbon dioxide is technically a greenhouse gas, but a fairly weak one and also its effect reduces exponentially logarithmically as you increase it in the atmosphere, so at a certain point, adding more of it makes virtually no effect at all…it’s only at very low levels that it actually has a significant effect but it’s never been down that low (referring to 10 ppm, the lowest it has been in history is 180 ppm, which it got to during the most recent glaciation)… plants can’t survive below 150 ppm (which) would mean the death of life if all the plants died, if CO2 continued to go down… all the CO2 we’re putting back into the air came from the air in the first place…modern life emerged at 5,000 ppm, which more than 10 times what it is now; over the millennia, on average, CO2 has continually declined (down to 180 ppm) which was getting close to threatening the existence of life… (fossil fuels) inadvertently…. started putting CO2 back into the atmosphere where it came from in the first place… all the CO2 we’re putting back in the air came from the air (or water) in the first place… it was in the carbon cycle, life removed it – all fossil fuels are the result of life, from photosynthesis (or what I call ‘ancient stored solar energy), coal is made from trees and oil and gas made from the bodies of sea creatures.. carbohydrates turned into hydrocarbons, but the carbon there came from CO2 either in the sea or in the air and was lost to the carbon cycle, or sequestered… and now we to purposely take the CO2 out of the atmosphere with machines that use a lot of energy.. plants are growing 30% faster in many places due to the increase – it is well documented; warmth is also good for life, cold is the enemy of life… ten to twenty times more people die of cold than heat every year… they are pushing a narrative that is suicidal for civilization, NetZero, the idea that wind and solar can provide all energy, and that there will be batteries – these batteries don’t exist… wind and solar are about 1/3 available, the rest of the time they’re not, the rest of the time you’d have to use batteries, so you’d have to have batteries that would hold twice the amount of electricity the wind and sun can produce… when the wind and solar are working is had to provide the whole grid’s requirement and charge the grid with twice as much energy as the grid requires, so therefore you have to build three times as much capacity as you would with hydro, nuclear or coal and gas… it is not possible technically, never mind financially… these are urban, green fantasy woke people... God help us if the all the people who make electricity from wind and solar win the game for even 10 years – they’ll have us so deep in an economic mess… they (the green wokesters) are lying outright, and don’t seem to care the poorest of the poor seem to suffer the most from their policies – that’s just a straight fact… the entire Arctic Ocean is covered in ice, there is NO open ocean in the Arctic (this was in winter when the discussion occurred, 2022)… (in the summer there is open water in the Arctic), but that’s a good thing because plankton need sunlight and what do seals eat? And polar bears eat seals! And if there’s no plankton there’s no krill, and no krill there’s no fish and if there’s no fish there’s no seals… so it’s good that the ice is not covering the ice in the summer…. polar bears – if it were not for climate change, polar bears would not exist… they are descended from the Eurasian brown bear, and as the earth cooled, the brown bears went out onto the ice and hunt for seals, and from divergent evolution went from one species went into two – polar bears are an evolutionary result of grizzly (Eurasian brown bears) going out onto the ice…the reason CO2 declined over the millennia was because of the marine calcifying species, the clams, the mussels, the barnacles, the shrimp, the coral reefs are about 50% of it. All of those species… learned to protect their soft bodies… to take calcium and carbon dioxide in the sea and make it into calcium carbonate what we call limestone. All the limestone in the earth’s crust came from calcifying marine organisms. It is hundreds of billions of tonnes. All that carbon was in the ocean before those calcifiers made it into shells, so they inadvertently presaged the end of life by continually sucking out of the oceans and turning it into calcium carbonate, which sank the to bottom and was lost to the carbon cycle forever until we came along and started making cement, and in fact about 5% of all the CO2 emissions we emit come from cement manufacturing, because we take calcium carbonate and turn it into calcium oxide and CO2, whereas with fossil fuels we take hydrocarbons and turn the into CO2 and water – the two most important things for life is what we are putting into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels. So carbon pollution has become a term – this is a sign of complete scientific illiteracy, so say ‘carbon pollution’; first, it’s not carbon, it’s carbon dioxide.” Moore concludes the motivation is based on “it’s based on striking fear into the hearts of women and men and getting control of them that way; its obviously about control as much as it is about money, but then control gets you money. The underlying problem is that the invisible part of the cycle of fear is the politicians giving the scientists the money to create the scare stories – 80% of all academic research is funded by government today, and that money is being used by the politicians to get what they want, which is something to scare the people with so they’ll vote for them because they’ll save them from that (fear) ... and the media and the activists are just the bullhorn for the scare story the politicians are putting out, but in the final analysis it is the money flowing from the political class to all these universities who just can’t resist the money… and if they resist the story, they’re not going to get any money. So they are afraid to critique any of this fake science… (and re. coral reefs) coral reefs are healthy… the Indonesian archipelago has the highest biodiversity of corals and is the warmest ocean in the world and represents a sanctuary to where corals have shrunk from when the earth was warmer and corals were more widespread. It’s a complete like that they are threatened with heat, absolute complete lie.” Moore concludes that a lot of this is based on pride, which is the worst of sins because “it can be disguised as a virtue, and greed is the second worst sin… and these people are guilty of both… they are smart-ass, greedy people… president Biden is adopting policies that are meant to damage the United States of America and the rest of the western world – there’s no other explanation for them. You wouldn’t do what he is doing unless you were trying to hurt your people – and that’s what they are doing… science should be the basis for (political) policy, knowledge should be the basis for policy, but they have twisted the so-called knowledge to most of it being fake.”
Also from the founder of Greenpeace Moore: "I am a skeptic on climate change. I know the climate is changing, and it always has been. I've studied this intensively over many years. I started what I call the Carbon Project here in British Columbia back in 1989 in order to bring everybody together to discuss this subject and figure out the facts behind it. Since then, I have watched as hysteria has grown, as if the whole world is going to come to an end and civilization is going to die because of humans causing this climate change. I don't buy that, and I certainly know we don't have any proof of it. I'm not denying that we might be playing some role, but the natural factors that have always caused climate change have not suddenly disappeared. I'm very skeptical of the alarmist nature of climate campaigning.” – Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, http://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/11079 and whose boat I have personally been on in Vancouver Harbour in the 1980s.
Moore later wrote in his book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom (WattsUpWithThat summary here or Technocracy News summary here) that “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both. Thus, the vast majority of people have no way of observing and verifying for themselves the truth of these claims predicting these alleged catastrophes and devastating threats. Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists – all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject – to tell them the truth. This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency.”
Farley Mowat, the noted Canadian leftist and Greenpeace activist, and whose house my wife used to walk by regularly as a kid in Port Hope, ON., wrote in his book West Viking (written while we were still in the global cooling scare) that there were probably at least dwarf forests growing in Greenland when the Vikings arrived in 985 AD and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History reports “… Erik the Red discovered two areas of southwest Greenland which were suitable for farming, with grasslands and small stands of alder and birch.” You will note that it is too cold today for any type of forests to grow in Greenland, and there is zero ability to farm, unless modern technologies are utilized – and even then, crop selection is very minimal. Mowat also reported the Arctic pack ice was much less in that Viking discovery era than today. Dr. Fred Singer writes that when the Vikings first settled Greenland, they grew vegetables, and it was warm enough to allow the population to grow to 3,000 people and by 1100 AD the place was thriving enough that they had their own bishop and twelve churches. Nature reported in a 2010 article that clamshell studies also confirm Norse records. Meanwhile, the Archeological Survey of Canada has also noted around “A.D. 1000, a warmer climate resulted in the tree line advancing 100 kilometres north of its present position.” The results of this? Especially in northern Europe, “the period between 1150 and 1300 was truly a flowering period, for population reached unprecedented levels that were never to be seen again until the late 18thcentury in many countries; the English population experienced a staggering threefold increase in its population during the last century since the Domesday Survey in 1086”. [11]
This climate optimum (also called a climate anomaly) coincided with a period of increased solar activity (see below). Farming of various crops extended hundreds of kilometers farther north than it is possible today.
Yet, in the 1100s, Greenland cooled dramatically, briefly stabilized, and then dropped even further in the 1200s to the early 1400s. Sirocko (2010) places the earlier event at the beginning of the 1310’s, while a more commonly accepted time frame for the first cold phase is the coinciding solar minimum called Wolf minimum from 1280-1350. There were repeated cold snaps and advancing glaciers and sea ice from that time onward, but it was not until the early 1600’s that the most devastating effects of the Little Ice Age began to set in, which is the more commonly used date for its beginning. As Dale Mackenzie Brown writes “An ice core drilled from the island's (Greenland’s) massive icecap between 1992 and 1993 shows a decided cooling off in the Western Settlement during the mid-fourteenth century.” But the recent recovery in temperatures is only putting us back to the average temps from an earlier age!
Indeed, when I was visiting Iceland at Skaftafell Nat'l Park a few years ago, Icelandic historians know from extant deeds – and have put in the displays at the park - that somewhere around FORTY old Viking era farms are currently buried under the Vatnajokull glacier system (the largest in the world outside of Greenland and Antarctica). In other words, it was simply much warmer in the Icelandic settlement era than it is today. We are routinely informed of the melting of Greenland glaciers today at lower altitudes, but demonstrably there are at bare minimum low altitude glaciers in roughly the same geographic area that had seen more melting and more pronounced glacial recession one thousand years ago than we see today. Al Gore may want to visit Skaftafell National Park in Iceland on one of his many jet-setting, carbon burning trips to check the facts himself. More evidence: There are records of grape growing occurring in places in northern Europe back during this optimum where they can't grow today. Gregory McNamee, in the Weather Guide Calendar (Accord Publishing, 2002) noted that wine connoisseurs might have gone to England for fine vintages (can’t grow fine vintage grapes there today!), that heat loving trees like beeches carpeted Europe far into Scandinavia, and Viking ships crossed iceberg free oceans to ice free harbors in Iceland…”. Art Horn writes that “In the winter of 1249 it was so warm in England that people did not need winter clothes. They walked about in summer dress. It was so warm people thought the seasons had changed. There was no frost in England the entire winter. Can you imagine what NOAA would say if that happened next year? “
Even the lead global warmer at “AGW Central” East Anglia Univ., in the UK, fraud Phil Jones, before he was outed during the ClimateGate revelations, was forced to admit to the BBC that the MWP (Medieval Warm Period) was real.
At one Congressional hearing, distinguished climatologist and professor Judith Curry testified that recent data “calls into question the conclusion that humans are the dominant cause of recent climate change.”
Curry is also on record as having said: "…the deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists... I no longer know what to say to students and postdocs regarding how to navigate the CRAZINESS in the field of climate science. Research and other professional activities are professionally rewarded only if they are channeled in certain directions approved by a politicized academic establishment — funding, ease of getting your papers published, getting hired in prestigious positions, appointments to prestigious committees and boards, professional recognition, etc. How young scientists are to navigate all this is beyond me, and it often becomes a battle of scientific integrity versus career suicide." Dr. Curry appears in the documentary film Climate Hustle which touches upon her journey from member of the climate establishment to principled dissenter, after being shocked by what was revealed in the "Climategate" emails
InProfessor and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech climatologist Judith Curry, went from affirming AGW to strongly questioning it after interacting with climate scientists who reject it, like University of Alabama climatologists John Christy and Roy Spencer, who manage NASA’s satellite remote sensing program and together won NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites.
So you can believe mentally handicapped wunderkind Greta Thunderpants, who has ZERO training in meteorology, or these folks below.
"Since I am no longer affiliated with any organization nor receiving any funding, I can speak quite frankly….As a scientist I remain skeptical.” - Atmospheric Scientist Dr. Joanne Simpson, the first woman in the world to receive a PhD in meteorology and formerly of NASA who has authored more than 190 studies and has been called “among the most preeminent scientists of the last 100 years.”
“Inevitably in climate science, when data conflicts with models, a small coterie of scientists can be counted upon to modify the data...That the data should always need correcting to agree with models is totally implausible and indicative of a certain corruption within the climate science community.” Dr. Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric science, MIT
Claude Allegre, a “founding father of AGW theory,” has now come out against this, stating “The cause of this climate change is unknown.”
“What historians will definitely wonder about in future centuries is how deeply flawed logic, obscured by shrewd and unrelenting propaganda, actually enabled a coalition of powerful special interests to convince nearly everyone in the world that carbon dioxide from human industry was a dangerous, planet-destroying toxin. “It will be remembered as the greatest mass delusion in the history of the world - that carbon dioxide, the life of plants, was considered for a time to be a deadly poison.”— Richard Lindzen, professor emeritus of atmospheric science, MIT. Source https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf
Lindzen also wrote “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”
Dr Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the last 50 to 100 years.
Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus of physics at Princeton University, ”There isn’t a climate crisis. There will not be a climate crisis. It is utter nonsense.” https://www.sec.gov/comments/climate-disclosure/cll12-8855233-238421.pdf
Piers Corbin, astrophysicist, founder of Weather Action, 2002 said that current weather patterns have nothing to do with man-made climate change. Instead, Corbin flatly states that those pushing this narrative are just trying to make money. “Climate has always been changing,” and “this has nothing to do with man.” Weather this year is “caused by circulation patterns… and CO2 does not cause circulation patterns. What causes those is a combination of solar activity and the phases of the moon” ; the only connection with man is that he is “here at the same time the sun and the moon are doing things. A very similar situation happened about 132 years ago where there was the same sun, magnetic, lunar states (and) there was a heat wave in Russia and floods in Pakistan as now. These things are dictated by solar activity and the moon and nothing to do with mankind. Those who say that are just trying to make money… I assure you, this has nothing to do with carbon dioxide” In his words, see here, 2:27 min.
“The climate scare (is) the biggest deception in history…”Dr. Tim Ball, environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba
Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come to know what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” - UN IPCC Japanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.
“The IPCC has actually become a closed circuit; it doesn’t listen to others. It doesn’t have open minds… I am really amazed that the Nobel Peace Prize has been given on scientifically incorrect conclusions by people who are not geologists,” - Indian geologist Dr. Arun D. Ahluwalia at Punjab University and a board member of the UN-supported International Year of the Planet.
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“The models and forecasts of the UN IPCC "are incorrect because they only are based on mathematical models and presented results at scenarios that do not include, for example, solar activity.” - Victor Manuel Velasco Herrera, a researcher at the Institute of Geophysics of the National Autonomous University of Mexico
“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” - U.S Government Atmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA.
“Even doubling or tripling the amount of carbon dioxide will virtually have little impact, as water vapour and water condensed on particles as clouds dominate the worldwide scene and always will.” – . Geoffrey G. Duffy, a professor in the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering of the University of Auckland, NZ.
“After reading [UN IPCC chairman] Pachauri's asinine comment [comparing skeptics to] Flat Earthers, it's hard to remain quiet.” - Climate statistician Dr. William M. Briggs, who specializes in the statistics of forecast evaluation, serves on the American Meteorological Society's Probability and Statistics Committee and is an Associate Editor of Monthly Weather Review. (Note: there really IS a Flat Earth Society, at http://www.theflatearthsociety.org/cms/, whose president Daniel Shenton, thinks “the evidence suggests fossil fuel usage is contributing to global warming.” (See www.tinyurl.com/ozn2wfe. So much for Obama’s comment that “We don’t have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society.”
“For how many years must the planet cool before we begin to understand that the planet is not warming? For how many years must cooling go on?" - Geologist Dr. David Gee the chairman of the science committee of the 2008 International Geological Congress who has authored 130 plus peer reviewed papers, and is currently at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The recent World Climate Declaration signed by around 250 university professors, and led by a Nobel physics laureate, noted that models had many shortcomings, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools” This declaration notes that natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming, warming is far slower than predicted, climate policy relies on inadequate models, CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth, global warming has not increased natural disasters, and that climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities. Here are all the PhD signatories.
“The present era is one of the coolest and least carbon-intensive periods of the last 600 million years. Indeed, the geological and paleontological evidence overwhelmingly says that today’s average global temperature of about 15 degrees C and CO2 concentrations of 420 ppm are nothing to fret about, and even if they rise to about 17-18 degrees C and 500-600 ppms by the end of the century, it may well on balance improve the lot of mankind. After all, bursts of civilization during the last 10,000 years uniformly occurred during the red portion of the graph below–the river civilizations, the Minoan, the Greco-Roman era, the Medieval flowering and the industrial and technological revolutions of the present era. At the same time, the several lapses into dark ages happened when the climate turned colder (blue area). And that’s only logical. When its warmer and wetter, growing seasons are longer and crop yields are better—regardless of the agricultural technology and practices of the moment. And it’s better for human and community health, too—most of the deadly plagues of history have occurred under colder climes, such as the Black Death of 1344-1350 … (the warmers narrative) ignores the entirety of the planet’s pre-Holocene (last 10,000 years) history, even though the science shows that more than 50% of the time in the last 600 million years global temperatures were in the range of 25 degrees C or 67% higher than current levels and far beyond anything projected by the most unhinged climate models today. But, crucially, at those temperature peaks planetary climate systems did not go into a doomsday loop of scorching meltdown—warming was always checked and reversed by powerful counter-veiling forces.” David Stockman, former Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Ronald Reagan
A good friend of mine also a NASA scientist wrote a book called The Cold Sun. His name is John Casey. Climate is cyclical always was and always will be and the sun controls the climate. The climate hoax was created to push UN Agenda 21. They knew no one would go along with their plan for global communism. So they had to create a global boogie man. It had to be something that affects the entire world. They first settled on global warming and when they proved the science was a fraud they changed it to climate change. It is much harder to disprove climate change because it does and always will change but they had to lie and convince an uninformed public it was caused by man and put the fear in to people convincing them the earth would shrivel up and die if we don't start depopulating and allow the sociopaths in this world control all human and animal activities.
Good thing we have Greta Thunderpants
😂😂
Hope your family time is lovely and God bless you!!
Dear Karen,
I thought you might want to read this article from Helena Glass:
https://helenaglass.net/2023/06/16/begging-china/
WOW. Thanks a lot. I will surely share this in one of my substacks next week. WHY would anyone want eat or even trust these lab grown fake products? Just like people taking an injection that was experimental using humans as the lab rats??? I would be the farm that Gates nor any of his "elitist" friends would ever think of taking vaccines or eating the fake food they will be forcing on us. They are destroying farms all over the world in order to force people to eat their poison. This is flat out depopulation and they have been working on it for many, many decades. 100 years that I can trace.
...interesting article which i scanned quickly thanks ...must read properly later i mean...heres a link i'm not sure if its the docu i have in mind...however anything with Pilger is close to the bone ...https://youtu.be/vAfeYMONj9E ...and heres a good link ...https://substack.com/@jeffjbrown ...
The first is 3 years old. We live in a much different world today. China has NO fear of the US at all. They have their boy in the White House. The military has been decimated. No it the US that needs to be worried and anyone that is awake knows we are in deep trouble not only from other countries but from our own government.
...the changes are happening so quickly...i agree the US is in deep touble...is there something of a possibility, perhaps obvious...that China has long been a project of the same nefarious forces undermining the US even before the current hateful regime are set in place...i must dig out soon some convincing factual articles relating to this...are the Technocrats hiding beneath the admittedly heavy veneer of the CCP?...how many states are lost u reckon!...and don't forget ur meeting ur family!...
...enjoy ur time with family Karen...life is shorter than we realize!...btw ...how many states besides Ca. u mentioned are lost as u see it...could u identify them?...i must refresh my acquaintance with thought provoking passages that are relevant to the current situation in Emerson's Essay on Compensation...i'm becoming a bit wary of how some of my comments may be perceived by Americans...i have a sense that over there u are heavily oriented towards various religious and perhaps other orthodoxies and if so how does this affect ur general situation...in many ways perhaps America is a huge enigma...do people grate at the prospect of anything outside of a hyper conservative approach...the 'Oirish' have generally rejected the orthodoxy of the CC ...and appear to have as a consequence descended into a moral and intellectual void...in addition to which there seems to be a disconnect from wild(free) animals and nature...there's a lack of empathy has emerged...the concern about illegal immigrants is warranted however i think, and somewhat obscures the possibility we have become 'alien' to our long established natures as a people...situated in the Atlantic we seem to perceive us in a manner of our existing already in a superficial environment expressive of a 'metaverse' of merely of a regressive virtual sort!...again, enjoy those special days of family Karen and thanks for the article/links above...plenty to 'do'...!!!...
Thanks Gerry. I plan to enjoy every minute. My entire family lives in either NJ (most of them) CA and FL. I am in TN so I do not get to see them as much as I would like. There was a time when I lived in NJ (where I was raised) I was surrounded by family and friends. Not so much anymore. So when they come I am in heaven.
...comment edited since ur reply...d'u mean that there are fewer folk around u hardly regard as friends...that seems to be a broad and energing trend ...i sense it myself...i dread its impacts on peoples lives...Crusoe's island Mondays to Thurdays ...including week-ends ...however excluding 'Fridays'!...🤔...
... oh yeah, and these guys:
“Gore prompted me to start delving into the science again and I quickly found myself solidly in the skeptic camp…Climate models can at best be useful for explaining climate changes after the fact.” - Meteorologist Hajo Smit of Holland, who reversed his belief in man-made warming to become a skeptic, is a former member of the Dutch UN IPCC committee.
“Many [scientists] are now searching for a way to back out quietly (from promoting warming fears), without having their professional careers ruined.” - Atmospheric physicist James A. Peden, formerly of the Space Research and Coordination Center in Pittsburgh.
A paper has been published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), written by meteorologist William Kininmonth, a former consultant to the World Meteorological Organisation’s Commission for Climatology and former head of the Australian Government’s National Climate Centre. Kininmonth argues that the oceans are the “vital inertial and thermal flywheels” of the climate system. If one wants to control climate, it will be necessary to control the oceans, he argues. “Efforts to decarbonise in the hope of affecting global temperatures will be in vain,” he adds. In Kininmonth’s view, the recent warming is “probably simply the result of fluctuations in the ever-changing ocean circulation”. CO2 “must be recognised” as a very minor contributor to the observed warming, and one that is unlikely to prolong the warming trend beyond the peak generated by the natural oceanic oscillations” The main driver of global temperature is, he says in the article, the movement of energy in water, both in the oceans and the atmosphere after evaporation. Daily Skeptic summarizes his research stating “Kininmonth proposes that tropical oceans have warmed recently, not as a result of additional atmospheric CO2, but most likely because of a reduction of heat as ocean currents have slowed. Heat has been exchanged with the tropical atmosphere, and transported by the winds to enhance northern polar warming. It is accepted that warming over the Arctic has been greater in the recent past than elsewhere over the globe. Ocean surface temperature in the tropics has warmed much less than the Arctic. However Arctic warming has occurred predominantly during the cold winter half of the year, when the surface is largely in darkness. For Kininmonth, this implies that it can only be the result of heat transport from warmer latitudes.”
“Once you start doubting, just like you’re supposed to doubt. You ask me if the science is true and we say ‘No, no, we don’t know what’s true, we’re trying to find out, everything is possibly wrong’ … When you doubt and ask it gets a little harder to believe. I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it’s much more interesting to live not knowing, than to have answers which might be wrong.” —Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman (1981)
“Creating an ideology pegged to carbon dioxide is a dangerous nonsense…The present alarm on climate change is an instrument of social control, a pretext for major businesses and political battle. It became an ideology, which is concerning.” - Environmental Scientist Professor Delgado Domingos of Portugal, the founder of the Numerical Weather Forecast group, has more than 150 published articles.
“CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another….Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so…Global warming, as a political vehicle, keeps Europeans in the driver’s seat and developing nations walking barefoot.” - Dr. Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.
“The [global warming] scaremongering has its justification in the fact that it is something that generates funds.” - Award-winning Paleontologist Dr. Eduardo Tonni, of the Committee for Scientific Research in Buenos Aires and head of the Paleontology Department at the University of La Plata.
“Climate is not responding to greenhouse gases in the way we thought it might. If increasing carbon dioxide is in fact increasing climate change, its impact is smaller than natural variation.”Prof Christopher de Freitas, of the University of Auckland, NZ said there was no evidence to suggest carbon dioxide was the major driver of climate change (see http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/8039) (In 2003, Dr. de Freitas, who edits the journal Climate Research, had published a peer-reviewed article saying the recent warming is not unusual, relative to previous historical climate changes in the past 1,000 years. As you might suspect, Dr. de Freitas had to withstand multiple demands he be fired from his editorial job, as well as his university position.
“We’re not scientifically there yet. Despite what you may have heard in the media, there is nothing like a consensus of scientific opinion that this is a problem. Because there is natural variability in the weather, you cannot statistically know for another 150 years.” — UN IPCC’s Tom Tripp, a member of the UN IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] since 2004 and listed as one of the lead authors and serves as the Director of Technical Services & Development for U.S. Magnesium.
“The dysfunctional nature of the climate sciences is nothing short of a scandal. Science is too important for our society to be misused in the way it has been done within the Climate Science Community.” The global warming establishment “has actively suppressed research results presented by researchers that do not comply with the dogma of the [UN] IPCC.” — Swedish Climatologist Dr. Hans Jelbring of the Paleogeophysics & Geodynamics Unit at Stockholm University.
John Coleman, the sole founder of the WEATHER CHANNEL on AGW at . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cC2jRQcgnj8
“There is no consensus in science. Science isn’t a vote, science is about facts
There IS no global warming…. The government puts out about $2 ½ billion dollars directly for climate research every year. It ONLY gives that money to scientists who will produce scientific results that will support the global warming hypothesis of the Democrat party position, so they don’t have any choice. If you are going to get the money, you gotta support their position. Therefor, 97% of the scientific reports published support global warming. Why? Because those are the ones the government pays for, and that’s where the money is… that doesn’t make it right, that doesn’t make it true, that only makes it bought and paid for. There is no significant man-made global warming now, there hasn’t been any in the past, and there’s no reason to expect any in the future…. There is a whole lot of baloney, and yes it has become a big political point of the Democrat party and part of their platform and I regret it has become political rather than scientific. “
The truth is, for upwards of 90% of the time during the last 600 million years of the Earth’s relentless "climate change", the average temperature has been well above the current 15 C, sometimes by as much as 10 C higher. – David Stockman, Director of the United States Office of Management and Budget (1981–1985
The European Foundation listed here 100 reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made, including the fact that “Man-made carbon dioxide emissions throughout human history constitute less than 0.00022 percent of the total naturally emitted from the mantle of the earth during geological history.” Or as the most widely quoted meteorologist in history – and whom my brother studied under – Reid Bryson said, “If the climate were a 100 story building, man’s contribution would be equal to the linoleum on the first floor,” and “You could spit in the ocean and have more effect on it than man’s contribution to climate.” The Foundation also notes: “After World War II, there was a huge surge in recorded CO2 emissions but global temperatures fell for four decades after 1940; Throughout the Earth’s history, temperatures have often been warmer than now and CO2 levels have often been higher – more than ten times as high; the 0.7C increase in the average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends; The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited; Leaked e-mails from British climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming; Politicians and activiists claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age 10,000 ago;
Philip Stott, Emeritus Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just one factor, whether CO2 or clouds; Professor Plimer, Professor of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is an “absurdity”;
Also per Patrick Moore: “Carbon is the basis of all life… the whole thing is completely back asswards… CO2 is lower now, even with our additions to it, than it has been during almost the entire the history of the planet… it is certainly not proven that CO2 is too high and we’re all going to fry… the fact is, it is colder now than it has been for almost the entire history of earth… we don’t really know why ice ages happen… the temperature of the earth has been much warmer than it is now… we have been in a 50-year cooling period (the equator remains fairly steady, while the poles get most of the change he notes) it took 10,000 years to come out of the last, most recent glaciation, which peaked about 20,000 years ago… to all knowledge we have, it has been cooling for the last 6,000 years…we’re now beginning the slide into the next major glaciation… (the warmers, ignoring the fact that we are still below the 3,000 year average temperature and below the MWP) don’t care about anything that happened before 1850…the reason they are able to get away with all the scare stories is because CO2 is invisible… carbon dioxide is technically a greenhouse gas, but a fairly weak one and also its effect reduces exponentially logarithmically as you increase it in the atmosphere, so at a certain point, adding more of it makes virtually no effect at all…it’s only at very low levels that it actually has a significant effect but it’s never been down that low (referring to 10 ppm, the lowest it has been in history is 180 ppm, which it got to during the most recent glaciation)… plants can’t survive below 150 ppm (which) would mean the death of life if all the plants died, if CO2 continued to go down… all the CO2 we’re putting back into the air came from the air in the first place…modern life emerged at 5,000 ppm, which more than 10 times what it is now; over the millennia, on average, CO2 has continually declined (down to 180 ppm) which was getting close to threatening the existence of life… (fossil fuels) inadvertently…. started putting CO2 back into the atmosphere where it came from in the first place… all the CO2 we’re putting back in the air came from the air (or water) in the first place… it was in the carbon cycle, life removed it – all fossil fuels are the result of life, from photosynthesis (or what I call ‘ancient stored solar energy), coal is made from trees and oil and gas made from the bodies of sea creatures.. carbohydrates turned into hydrocarbons, but the carbon there came from CO2 either in the sea or in the air and was lost to the carbon cycle, or sequestered… and now we to purposely take the CO2 out of the atmosphere with machines that use a lot of energy.. plants are growing 30% faster in many places due to the increase – it is well documented; warmth is also good for life, cold is the enemy of life… ten to twenty times more people die of cold than heat every year… they are pushing a narrative that is suicidal for civilization, NetZero, the idea that wind and solar can provide all energy, and that there will be batteries – these batteries don’t exist… wind and solar are about 1/3 available, the rest of the time they’re not, the rest of the time you’d have to use batteries, so you’d have to have batteries that would hold twice the amount of electricity the wind and sun can produce… when the wind and solar are working is had to provide the whole grid’s requirement and charge the grid with twice as much energy as the grid requires, so therefore you have to build three times as much capacity as you would with hydro, nuclear or coal and gas… it is not possible technically, never mind financially… these are urban, green fantasy woke people... God help us if the all the people who make electricity from wind and solar win the game for even 10 years – they’ll have us so deep in an economic mess… they (the green wokesters) are lying outright, and don’t seem to care the poorest of the poor seem to suffer the most from their policies – that’s just a straight fact… the entire Arctic Ocean is covered in ice, there is NO open ocean in the Arctic (this was in winter when the discussion occurred, 2022)… (in the summer there is open water in the Arctic), but that’s a good thing because plankton need sunlight and what do seals eat? And polar bears eat seals! And if there’s no plankton there’s no krill, and no krill there’s no fish and if there’s no fish there’s no seals… so it’s good that the ice is not covering the ice in the summer…. polar bears – if it were not for climate change, polar bears would not exist… they are descended from the Eurasian brown bear, and as the earth cooled, the brown bears went out onto the ice and hunt for seals, and from divergent evolution went from one species went into two – polar bears are an evolutionary result of grizzly (Eurasian brown bears) going out onto the ice…the reason CO2 declined over the millennia was because of the marine calcifying species, the clams, the mussels, the barnacles, the shrimp, the coral reefs are about 50% of it. All of those species… learned to protect their soft bodies… to take calcium and carbon dioxide in the sea and make it into calcium carbonate what we call limestone. All the limestone in the earth’s crust came from calcifying marine organisms. It is hundreds of billions of tonnes. All that carbon was in the ocean before those calcifiers made it into shells, so they inadvertently presaged the end of life by continually sucking out of the oceans and turning it into calcium carbonate, which sank the to bottom and was lost to the carbon cycle forever until we came along and started making cement, and in fact about 5% of all the CO2 emissions we emit come from cement manufacturing, because we take calcium carbonate and turn it into calcium oxide and CO2, whereas with fossil fuels we take hydrocarbons and turn the into CO2 and water – the two most important things for life is what we are putting into the atmosphere when we burn fossil fuels. So carbon pollution has become a term – this is a sign of complete scientific illiteracy, so say ‘carbon pollution’; first, it’s not carbon, it’s carbon dioxide.” Moore concludes the motivation is based on “it’s based on striking fear into the hearts of women and men and getting control of them that way; its obviously about control as much as it is about money, but then control gets you money. The underlying problem is that the invisible part of the cycle of fear is the politicians giving the scientists the money to create the scare stories – 80% of all academic research is funded by government today, and that money is being used by the politicians to get what they want, which is something to scare the people with so they’ll vote for them because they’ll save them from that (fear) ... and the media and the activists are just the bullhorn for the scare story the politicians are putting out, but in the final analysis it is the money flowing from the political class to all these universities who just can’t resist the money… and if they resist the story, they’re not going to get any money. So they are afraid to critique any of this fake science… (and re. coral reefs) coral reefs are healthy… the Indonesian archipelago has the highest biodiversity of corals and is the warmest ocean in the world and represents a sanctuary to where corals have shrunk from when the earth was warmer and corals were more widespread. It’s a complete like that they are threatened with heat, absolute complete lie.” Moore concludes that a lot of this is based on pride, which is the worst of sins because “it can be disguised as a virtue, and greed is the second worst sin… and these people are guilty of both… they are smart-ass, greedy people… president Biden is adopting policies that are meant to damage the United States of America and the rest of the western world – there’s no other explanation for them. You wouldn’t do what he is doing unless you were trying to hurt your people – and that’s what they are doing… science should be the basis for (political) policy, knowledge should be the basis for policy, but they have twisted the so-called knowledge to most of it being fake.”
Also from the founder of Greenpeace Moore: "I am a skeptic on climate change. I know the climate is changing, and it always has been. I've studied this intensively over many years. I started what I call the Carbon Project here in British Columbia back in 1989 in order to bring everybody together to discuss this subject and figure out the facts behind it. Since then, I have watched as hysteria has grown, as if the whole world is going to come to an end and civilization is going to die because of humans causing this climate change. I don't buy that, and I certainly know we don't have any proof of it. I'm not denying that we might be playing some role, but the natural factors that have always caused climate change have not suddenly disappeared. I'm very skeptical of the alarmist nature of climate campaigning.” – Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace, http://www.theenergyreport.com/pub/na/11079 and whose boat I have personally been on in Vancouver Harbour in the 1980s.
Moore later wrote in his book Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom (WattsUpWithThat summary here or Technocracy News summary here) that “A while back it dawned on me that the great majority of scare stories about the present and future state of the planet, and humanity as a whole, are based on subjects that are either invisible, extremely remote, or both. Thus, the vast majority of people have no way of observing and verifying for themselves the truth of these claims predicting these alleged catastrophes and devastating threats. Instead, they must rely on the activists, the media, the politicians, and the scientists – all of whom have a very large financial and/or political stake in the subject – to tell them the truth. This welcomes the opportunity to simply invent narratives such as the claim that “CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are causing a climate emergency.”
Farley Mowat, the noted Canadian leftist and Greenpeace activist, and whose house my wife used to walk by regularly as a kid in Port Hope, ON., wrote in his book West Viking (written while we were still in the global cooling scare) that there were probably at least dwarf forests growing in Greenland when the Vikings arrived in 985 AD and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History reports “… Erik the Red discovered two areas of southwest Greenland which were suitable for farming, with grasslands and small stands of alder and birch.” You will note that it is too cold today for any type of forests to grow in Greenland, and there is zero ability to farm, unless modern technologies are utilized – and even then, crop selection is very minimal. Mowat also reported the Arctic pack ice was much less in that Viking discovery era than today. Dr. Fred Singer writes that when the Vikings first settled Greenland, they grew vegetables, and it was warm enough to allow the population to grow to 3,000 people and by 1100 AD the place was thriving enough that they had their own bishop and twelve churches. Nature reported in a 2010 article that clamshell studies also confirm Norse records. Meanwhile, the Archeological Survey of Canada has also noted around “A.D. 1000, a warmer climate resulted in the tree line advancing 100 kilometres north of its present position.” The results of this? Especially in northern Europe, “the period between 1150 and 1300 was truly a flowering period, for population reached unprecedented levels that were never to be seen again until the late 18thcentury in many countries; the English population experienced a staggering threefold increase in its population during the last century since the Domesday Survey in 1086”. [11]
This climate optimum (also called a climate anomaly) coincided with a period of increased solar activity (see below). Farming of various crops extended hundreds of kilometers farther north than it is possible today.
Yet, in the 1100s, Greenland cooled dramatically, briefly stabilized, and then dropped even further in the 1200s to the early 1400s. Sirocko (2010) places the earlier event at the beginning of the 1310’s, while a more commonly accepted time frame for the first cold phase is the coinciding solar minimum called Wolf minimum from 1280-1350. There were repeated cold snaps and advancing glaciers and sea ice from that time onward, but it was not until the early 1600’s that the most devastating effects of the Little Ice Age began to set in, which is the more commonly used date for its beginning. As Dale Mackenzie Brown writes “An ice core drilled from the island's (Greenland’s) massive icecap between 1992 and 1993 shows a decided cooling off in the Western Settlement during the mid-fourteenth century.” But the recent recovery in temperatures is only putting us back to the average temps from an earlier age!
Indeed, when I was visiting Iceland at Skaftafell Nat'l Park a few years ago, Icelandic historians know from extant deeds – and have put in the displays at the park - that somewhere around FORTY old Viking era farms are currently buried under the Vatnajokull glacier system (the largest in the world outside of Greenland and Antarctica). In other words, it was simply much warmer in the Icelandic settlement era than it is today. We are routinely informed of the melting of Greenland glaciers today at lower altitudes, but demonstrably there are at bare minimum low altitude glaciers in roughly the same geographic area that had seen more melting and more pronounced glacial recession one thousand years ago than we see today. Al Gore may want to visit Skaftafell National Park in Iceland on one of his many jet-setting, carbon burning trips to check the facts himself. More evidence: There are records of grape growing occurring in places in northern Europe back during this optimum where they can't grow today. Gregory McNamee, in the Weather Guide Calendar (Accord Publishing, 2002) noted that wine connoisseurs might have gone to England for fine vintages (can’t grow fine vintage grapes there today!), that heat loving trees like beeches carpeted Europe far into Scandinavia, and Viking ships crossed iceberg free oceans to ice free harbors in Iceland…”. Art Horn writes that “In the winter of 1249 it was so warm in England that people did not need winter clothes. They walked about in summer dress. It was so warm people thought the seasons had changed. There was no frost in England the entire winter. Can you imagine what NOAA would say if that happened next year? “
Even the lead global warmer at “AGW Central” East Anglia Univ., in the UK, fraud Phil Jones, before he was outed during the ClimateGate revelations, was forced to admit to the BBC that the MWP (Medieval Warm Period) was real.
At one Congressional hearing, distinguished climatologist and professor Judith Curry testified that recent data “calls into question the conclusion that humans are the dominant cause of recent climate change.”
Curry is also on record as having said: "…the deeper reasons have to do with my growing disenchantment with universities, the academic field of climate science and scientists... I no longer know what to say to students and postdocs regarding how to navigate the CRAZINESS in the field of climate science. Research and other professional activities are professionally rewarded only if they are channeled in certain directions approved by a politicized academic establishment — funding, ease of getting your papers published, getting hired in prestigious positions, appointments to prestigious committees and boards, professional recognition, etc. How young scientists are to navigate all this is beyond me, and it often becomes a battle of scientific integrity versus career suicide." Dr. Curry appears in the documentary film Climate Hustle which touches upon her journey from member of the climate establishment to principled dissenter, after being shocked by what was revealed in the "Climategate" emails
InProfessor and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Georgia Tech climatologist Judith Curry, went from affirming AGW to strongly questioning it after interacting with climate scientists who reject it, like University of Alabama climatologists John Christy and Roy Spencer, who manage NASA’s satellite remote sensing program and together won NASA’s Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites.
