The entire climate change movement is based upon fraud and is nothing more than a

Money sucking operation from the central government. Science is complete incapable of explaining the ice ages beyond it got cold then it warmed up we think. It’s the weak minded politicians that view this whole scam as a way to winning elections the only thing they truly care about.

The late, great Dr. Michael Crichton observed that the global climate hysteria was the greatest scam and fraud in the history of mankind.

To put some Cosmic Irony into the mix. When Atgeists tried to create Life by capping organics with high voltage, they created Heavy Oil instead. Like the Venezuelan Orinoco. Then NASA verified lakes, rivers and oceans of liquid hydrocarbons on Titan. Debunking the myth of “Peak Fossil Fuels”. A large factor being pushed in Middle East Resource wars.

Oil and Gas can have both biotic and abiotic origins. We have enough hydrocarbon known reserves at current rates to last 350 years. Much longer if we stop using them to blow each other up. Plenty of time to bridge to using plasma fusion commercially. And hydrocarbons for manufacturing and fertilizer.

God Bless, 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

The canonical impact of Germany's 900 million metric tons of CO2 added to the atmosphere is easy to calculate. The terrestrial atmosphere weighs ~1.15E18 kg. 9E8 tons = 1.8E12kg. The mean formula wt of air is ~29 gm/mol. CO2 is 44 gm/mol.

So, the 900 MT of CO2 adds 4.1E13 mol of CO2 to 4E19 mol of air, equivalent to 1.03 ppm.

Given CO2 is now about 420 ppm, then the added 900 MT would raise it to 421.03 ppm. About half of that 1.03 ppm would be absorbed by the ocean.

If all 1.03 ppm was retained, the change in forcing would be 5.35*ln(421.03/420)=0.013 W/m^2. The canonical theory is that the atmosphere warms about 1.5 Celsius per doubling of CO2. The doubling ratio is 1.03/420 = 0.00245 of a doubling. The change in temperature from the added forcing of 900 MT of CO2 is then 0.00245*1..5 C = 0.0037 Celsius (change in T is linear with forcing).

If Germany succeeded in eliminating that 900 MT, they'd save the Earth from 37 ten-thousandths of a degree of warming.

That's assuming that added atmospheric CO2 has any impact of sensible heat at all; a case for which there is zero evidence.

A very sensible objective!

Spot on.

Propaganda is running full throttle over here.

Recently we heard in the news (for days on end) of roughly 15.000 deaths caused by "heat" during the summer due to "climate change" from our Robert Koch Institut (Kind of german CDC)... Compareable to the daily "dashboard" numbers of (PCR+) so called "CoViD-Deaths" from 2020 onwards ... Completely insane ! And once again a significant part of this silly brainwashed population (>50 %) keep buying this kind of bullshit. If I only knew where to emigrate ...

Those wacky, wacky Germans again.

Hopefully Eastern Germany will save our asses.

The former GDR-population has more sensitive antennas for propaganda.

AfD (the only real opposition) leading the polls there clearly.

Of course they are framed "right wing extremists"/NAZI and the like ...

Always the same when it comes to just pacticing common sense - e.g. NOT flooding the country with illegal, culturally incompatible aliens that came here mainly for enjoying our social benefits that are granted to literally everyone ... Of course the establishment deems that kind of position being "racist" and some kind of resurrection of Hitler according to the leftist/socialist guide to political discussion (Everyone I don't like is Hitler...) I guess that's similar to the TrumpDerangementSyndrome in th U.S. ?

Anyhow - it's REALLY weird over here ... kind of mood for a civil war ...

Makes you wonder how the billions of people clustered closest to the (tropical) equator -- where of course year round it's hotter than Europe or North America -- can possibly survive! The alarmists shake their spears only in the coldest regions of the earth. They'd get derisive laughter anywhere else.

It is well accepted physics that increasing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere will warm up the planet. Are you denying that? The climate is currently about 1.5 deg Celsius higher than it was roughly 100 years ago, according to James Hansen. If you look at the Arctic sea ice extent records, you can see that the extent has decreased by 2 to 3 MILLION square kilometers in the summertime. I just wonder, John Leake, whether you are really after the truth or is this just another case of cognitive dissonance? Obviously there will be people who try to make money on what used to be called Global Warming, but that does not mean it isn't happening.

describes how important all the 'great scientists' are and how they contributed to the chemical poisoning of the entire planet. Thanks Peter!

Surprising that John Von Neumann would not have recognized that the behavior of the sun and major volcanic events with their related influences on the climate are so significant that all man made factors are nearly irrelevant by comparison.

Hitler would have been in on this. He was a vegan environmentalist and had occultist leanings. It would be interesting to see if anything in his writings and rants would connect the Third Reich's global war on humanity with environmental radicalism.

ArnoldF's avatar

These demented people have the real potential to kill off humanity with this fear mongering based on nothing but a whim! instead of ignoring them, its really time to put them on trial for their lives—all who worship at the altar of Gaia and who secretly want to destroy man.

People do not have the ability to relate to orders of magnitude. Consider the case of ordering supper at the restaurant. The menu looks enticing, the neighbors' food postively delicious, and in ravishing quantity. The plate arrives, the digging ensues, and lo and behold, the stomach lacks the capacity for the entire haul. Eyes were bigger than the stomach. How much of a miss is that? Two organs on the same network, and there is impedance mismatch. And, this system is going to go to orders of magnitude squared out on a limb with calculations and projections about earthly capacities and energies? <scoff!>

A single victim publicly accosted sets the internet and media ablaze for hrs, days, weeks. One million soldiers perished, slaughtered, sacrificed, not even mourned by the backers of their demise, and...crickets.

Case closed.

When a species which breathes by turning oxygen into carbon dioxide, decides that its exhaled breath is a pollutant, it is definitely past its peak.

Germany was the EU's economic powerhouse. However, its growth is nil, if not negative, depending on how you count the data. Volkswagen, for instance, is looking to lay off thousands, an unheard-of practice in the EU. Germany closed its coal and nuclear power plants before creating an alternative; Ukraine blew up the gas pipeline; and the brain-dead politicians listened to the Neocons and sanctioned Russia, which supplied a great deal of energy to Germany—the decision made by the Germans is a poster child of how to destroy an economy.

As you wrote, John, Germany did this because of a thought experiment- well, we can't even call it a warming of the Earth an experiment- it's ideology mixed with emotions.

Now the EU nations are seeing an economic calamity in their futures. This is why they are pushing for war with Russia to create a distraction from their stupidity. As usual, they are going from one retarded decision to the next. It's all linked together. And that's why we can say that politicians start all wars.

In 2014 or 2015, a retrospective article on energy savings in Germany after 15 (closer to 20?) years of diverse solar installations was published in English. Final summary was after a major push to install solar across residential and industrial users, electrical energy use in Germany never declined. Instead it had either maintained the same level or increased in different areas. My-oh-my, how negative info to govt. messaging keeps disappearing at an ever increasing rate.
