ON THE MATTER OF FOSSIL FUELS,
CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE LIVES OF OTHERS

THE BIG LIE

Three years after the 2015 Paris Accord, the UN claimed in its IPCC Report that CO2 emissions must fall to net zero by mid-century to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius, otherwise a climatic catastrophe will befall us all. The Report, however, is both false and misleading. It is false because CO2 is not the control knob for the earth’s climate. And it is misleading because the presumption that higher CO2 levels could trigger the tipping point of a runaway temperature Armageddon is scientifically unfounded.

This Accord, adopted by the vested interests of 196 nations, is nothing more than a political document meant to further the goals of the global wealth redistribution class. Consider the first point: that CO2 in the atmosphere (which accounts for less than 0.041% of it composition - the manmade portion is even less at 0.004%) is the control knob for the earth’s climate. This is simply not true (climate sensitivity models notwithstanding), because there’s so little of it. Yet, the Report was still adopted as to further the intended grievance against Western culture.

Faced with this inconvenient truth, and to bolster the argument regarding the paucity of CO2 in the atmosphere, the second point was then made: that CO2 exhibits the characteristics of a positive feedback loop mechanism for which a tipping point of runaway temperature increases are guaranteed. This is also false, because once CO2 has absorbed its limit of 250 ppm of surface radiation (heat) any more of it will have very little effect upon its ability to absorb additional radiation. Meaning that todays level of 417ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere is essentially insignificant even if it were to increase exponentially. Furthermore, if any doubling of CO2 into the atmosphere were to occur the reduction of radiation back into space is about 1%, which is about a 1 degree C temperature rise in the earths atmosphere. This certainly is nothing to be worried about, yet the Report was amplified to stoke the fears of a dystopian future if its warnings were not heeded.

If the above mentioned points aren’t strong enough to dispel the doom and gloom alarmism of the CO2 fanatics, then consider these other factors:

*   SOLAR ACTIVITY, COSMIC WEATHER AND CLOUD FORMATION
99.98% of the worlds climate energy (radiation) comes from solar activity. Any disruption of this energy effects the temperature of the earth. Sunspots are a proxy of solar activity so any change in the amount, intensity or frequency of sunspots is an indication of how much radiation the earth receives from the sun. Sunspots have always been cyclical in nature, thereby suggesting a strong correlation between its changing activity and the earth’s changing climate. There is little that can be done to change the pattern of solar (sunspot) activity.

Cosmic rays generally come from outside the solar system. High energy protons from Super Nova’s account for much of these. There is a strong link between comic ray bombardment and cloud formation. Cloud formation accounts for about 2/3 green house gases, therefore, changes in the severity of cosmic rays the earth receives from outer space effects the temperature of the earth via its effects upon cloud formation. There is little that can be done to change the amount of cosmic rays the earth receives from outer space.

*   THE MILANKOVICH CYCLE
Milutin Milankovich, a Serbian mathematician in the 19th century, discovered three 3 major variations in the earth’s orbit around the sun, each of which determines the amount of energy reaching the earth.

1) the earth’s orbit is elliptical not circular.
2) the earth’s axis of tilt wobbles between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees.
3) the earth’s orbit drifts up and down relative to its present orbit.

Each of these influences effects the amount of solar radiation the earth receives from the sun. There is little that can be can be done to change the earths orbit around the sun.

*   THE EARTH'S CHANGING MAGNETIC FIELD
The sun’s magnetic field fluctuates in sync with the 11-year solar cycles, and this has a profound impact on approx. 10–20 per cent on cosmic rays reaching the earth. A change in the earth’s magnetic field also influences how strong the impact of cosmic ray are upon cloud formation.

*   CLIMATE VARIABILITY
Climate variability is a natural phenomenon. Time scale is extremely important when discussing climate change. Most often today weather is confused for climate.

*   VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
Needless to say there are forces within the earth beyond our control. Of the 7 major super volcanos, (Yellowstone among them), if only one were to erupt no amount of the restrictive CO2 mandates will save the earth from the ensuing catastrophic calamity. Scientists believe that 2 long-dormant super volcanoes are stirring to life. There is little that can be can be done to prevent another super volcanic eruption.

*   CLIMATE MODELS
The complexity of climate is also so profound that it is impossible to gauge any meaningful prediction of the future. Even the climate sensitivity debate of CO2, which is the holy grail of the alarmists, is suspect in many regards. What is not in dispute, however, is that increases of CO2 in the atmosphere offers diminishing returns in its effort to increase temperature. Therefore, climate models using suspect suspicions are inherently untrustworthy.

The above influences (I invite everyone to do their own research) are not speculative, or deniable, and taken together they play a significant role in the climate of the earth. Yet they are underreported because they challenge the alarmist narrative of their intent. And that is to control every aspect of ones’ life. From gas stoves to cars, from light bulbs to dish washers, these self-appointed narcissistic overloads want to control everything everyone does. And, although there are many virtue signaling lost souls within this new cult, it is the radical left and their Marxist counterparts who have captured it for their own agenda.

The deception of climate alarmism, exposed through Climategate and the Twitter files, shows that their objective is not honest or trustworthy, rather it is for a global authority to govern the lives of others. As outlined by Klaus Schwab at one of his WEF conferences, their plan will be to eliminate individual autonomy, choice and free will. All aspects of life will be controlled, as Schwab himself stated when he uttered these words, “You will own nothing and be happy”.

Unfortunately, and paradoxically, their red-herring claims to save the earth will result in the widespread destruction of vast swaths of land to wind farms and solar panels. Millions of birds will be cut from the sky. Endangered whales will be sacrificed. And the unnecessary and foolhardy destruction of nature’s natural and aesthetic habitats will become unfathomable. All of this to usher in the new utopian world these idealistic no-nothings believe possible.

Of course, none of this would happen if not for the complicit actions between the mainstream media and the federal government. The Twitter files, for instance, uncovered a concerted effort by the FBI to pressure social media companies to censure or shadow ban counter prevailing views. And YouTube continues to provide woke disclaimers whenever climate change is mentioned. Maliciously, these corrupt and dishonest practices still infect the impressionable mind.

Today, the damage they have wrought is widespread, because never before do so many people believe the world is coming to an end. Sheer panic now grips the misinformed, the gullible, and the feeble minded alike. The deliberate indoctrination of the young, from kindergarten to woke Disney movies, have produced generations of illiterate and frightened adults. Everywhere you now look, Chicken Little is there.

THE BENEFITS OF WIND AND SOLAR

Aside from patio lights, small electronic devices such as cell phones, and other low energy use applications, there are few benefits that wind and solar offer. As a reliable source of energy for the modern world they are essentially useless. And, if used beyond their power and convenience capabilities, massive federal subsidies must be awarded, otherwise the marketplace would not support their mandated use.

As an example of this folly consider this, a 1000 lb. car battery requires digging up approx. 500,00 lbs. of the earth just to replace a car’s 80 lbs. of gasoline. And it takes 100 barrels of oil to fabricate enough batteries to hold to the energy equivalent of 1 barrel of oil. If the United States were to transition to a Net Zero future as planned, upwards of 42 million acres of land would need to be cleared. Hardly a rational solution to a problem that does not exist.

THE MORAL CASE FOR FOSSIL FUELS

The moral case for fossil fuels is very simple: It has helped free the individual from the hardships of life. No longer must he live a short, nasty and brutish life. Fossil fuels have helped reduce hunger and have increased life expectancy. Nothing has emancipated the individual more from the scourge of disease and abject poverty than have fossil fuels. And no other group of individuals has gained a better life more than the disadvantaged. To unnecessarily deny the impoverished and poor people of the world the means to uplift their lives would be unjust, immoral and cruel.

Furthermore, using child slave labor to mine rare earth minerals needed for EV batteries is beyond virtue signaling, it’s also disgusting. Children who mine cobalt in the Congo (and minerals elsewhere) deserve better.

AND FINALLY

On May 3, 2023, Deputy Secretary of Energy, David Turk, when asked by Senator John Kennedy before the Senate appropriations Committee how much lower the earth’s temperature will be after the US spends 50 trillion dollars to lower it, admitted he did not know. In effect saying, it may not be lowered at all.

In summary, the Net Zero plan is the greatest fraud ever perpetrated upon the people of the world. Without knowing if their plan would actually work, the elites are willing to sacrifice everyone to an impoverished life. Not for saving the planet, but to control the lives of others.

Simply put: We’re being had.
