Climate Change fear: the new Religion


Try to just read the abstract or the conclusion. Cliffs - Man Made atmospheric CO2 is distinguishble from natural produced CO2 and it's contribution to the CO2 increase is minimal. From a non-partisan, non-politicol scientific journal.

Abstract - After 1750 and the onset of the industrial revolution, the anthropogenic fossil component and the non-fossil component in the total atmospheric CO2 concentration, C(t), began to increase. Despite the lack of knowledge of these two components, claims that all or most of the increase in C(t) since 1800 has been due to the anthropogenic fossil component have continued since they began in 1960 with “Keeling Curve: Increase in CO2 from burning fossil fuel.” Data and plots of annual anthropogenic fossil CO2 emissions and concentrations, C(t), published by the Energy Information Administration, are expanded in this paper. Additions include annual mean values in 1750 through 2018 of the 14C specific activity, concentrations of the two components, and their changes from values in 1750. The specific activity of 14C in the atmosphere gets reduced by a dilution effect when fossil CO2, which is devoid of 14C, enters the atmosphere. We have used the results of this effect to quantify the two components. All results covering the period from 1750 through 2018 are listed in a table and plotted in figures. These results negate claims that the increase in C(t) since 1800 has been dominated by the increase of the anthropogenic fossil component. We determined that in 2018, atmospheric anthropogenic fossil CO2 represented 23% of the total emissions since 1750 with the remaining 77% in the exchange reservoirs. Our results show that the percentage of the total CO2 due to the use of fossil fuels from 1750 to 2018 increased from 0% in 1750 to 12% in 2018, much too low to be the cause of global warming.
 
Splib I dug into the background of this journal a bit... It actually seems like an actual scientific journal and not a BS woke one. I'm sure they will be called out as a shill for the oil companies if this gets mainstream traction.
:beer:thanks
 
The Sahara was green, then it wasn't, then it was green again, then it wasn't. Last time it stopped being green is 5000 years ago or so.
Maybe climate change as we are watching it unfold will make the Sahara green again.

Bright Red Weather Maps and Fake Temperature ‘Records’ Drive Climate Panic​


It’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere so the heat hucksters are out in force. Alas, there are currently thin pickings in the U.K. – last year’s star of the show – where the summer has turned distinctly chilly. Further north is also very disappointing and largely absent from the public prints. Arctic sea ice continues its steady decade-long recovery, and current levels on the Greenland ice sheet are above the 1981-2010 average. But no matter – African countries surrounding the Sahara and nearby southern European locations can always be guaranteed to raise a scorchio cheer, along with Death Valley in the Arizona desert. Guaranteed climate change fearmongering in action here, every day of the week.

Come rain or shine, flood or drought, the weather is being ruthlessly weaponised to persuade us to embrace a collectivist Net Zero plan. Last week, heavy rain caused some flash flooding in Vermont. USA Today claimed that “dramatic flooding” was rare in Vermont, adding: “Expect more amid climate change.” The BBC reported the event, adding the routine house scare that “climate change makes extreme rainfall more likely”. What is missing in all this propaganda is any proof of the claims and any attempt to put bad weather into an historical perspective.

Snip
In the past, Heller notes temperatures over 38°C were recorded in Alaska over 70 years ago. In 1957, the Soviet weather service reported a week of 38°C temperatures north of the Arctic circle. In Phoenix, Arizona, there were 18 consecutive days of 43°C in 1974, at a time, Heller notes, when there was a fear of global cooling. This record may be broken in the near future he continues, but it will not have anything to do with global warming, just as the temperatures in 1974 had nothing to do with global cooling. The U.S. is likely to see highs of 38°C in Texas and the desert southwest, observes Heller, but in 1936, 13 states were over 43°C and 30 passed 38°C. Illinois was over 45°C, and people were reported to be dying from the heat in Detroit at the rate of one every 10 minutes.

The fact is that the percentage of the United States that reaches 38°C sometime during the year has plummeted since the 1930s.

The graph above shows that since the mid 1930s, the number of U.S. weather stations recording at least 38°C (100°F) has fallen by half. In addition, it shows the trend sharply decreasing since the turn of the century. People in authority, argues Heller, are pushing for the demise of fossil fuels using fake statistics and blood-red maps. The red fires of hell, he suggests, have always been used to scare the public into conforming.
 
For the really dumb people on the left. :laughing:

Wow, really diminishes the very hot 30s.

That's really the point of the convo since they are saying "global warming". There is no global warming, it might have been hot as fuck in the USA but when you average it out it just wasn't hot everywhere. To be fair, there is global warming. 1 degree. :lmao:
 
Progressives general approach is change is always a good thing. Unless it is climate, which they are super conservative on, well at least the attempt to maintain an arbitrary world temperature. There are benefits to increased average temperature. But that doesnt fit their power usurpation narrative.
 

 
IF "Man Made Climate change/heating/cooling" is so bad and killing people, then WHY isn't the human population of the whole world dropping?

The world's population grew from an estimated 2.5 billion in 1950 to 7.9 billion in 2021.
 
I posted this in the John Clauser thread a while back:

We are closer to extinction due to lack of CO2 than we are from too high of CO2.

Currently the average world CO2 is around 450ppm (parts per million).

Plants growth stalls around 200ppm and die around 150ppm.

Plants grow best when CO2 is in the 1200 to 1500ppm range (which is why commercial greenhouses add CO2).

TLDR: 450ppm (current avg CO2) is closer to die off range of 150ppm than to optimal CO2 for plant life (1200-1500ppm).

Animals and Humans can handle a lot more than 1500ppm. OSHA workspace regs are above 5,000ppm.

All these numbers are easily verified with a little Google-Fu.
 
Good watch. About an hour long.
