I figured this out in 2004 when Al Gore brought out his book An Inconvenient Truth. I would like to suggest a subtitle for his book: "Lies I Told People So I Could Buy Ocean Front Property Cheap". How convenient for him.

I'm guessing it wasn't global warming, but the Obamas may say it was.

When the climate stops changing... that's when we need to worry.

John Leake appears in the Oval Office as part of the press corps. In much the same tone that Steve Doocy uses, I can imagine Leake asking, "Sir, isn't it better to have some global warming climate change, rather than have glaciers begin advancing south, all the way to Iowa, pulverizing and burying everything in their path?" DJT "Yes, Mr. Leake, we don't need the glaciers in Iowa. Bad for the farmers. Yes, John, we'll go with the climate change."

John Parmentola has published a detained Milankovitch analysis that implies the present warm period will end in about 500 years.

He's worried that civilization will be obliterated under the glaciers.

It should be called "pollution" not climate change. Climate change is a stupid term that leads us to nowhere but if we call it what it is, "pollution" then we'll be onto something. It only takes us to keep saying this over and over so the dumbskulls get it into their heads. If the UN really cared about this topic, they would be calling for the reintroduction of hemp for everything. We can make many things out of it, buildings in particular that reduce by 50-70% for cooling and heating needs. Hemp can replace petrochemicals entirely as biodegradable plastics can be made out of it. By their silence on hemp, it tells us they just want YOU to be inconvenienced, they have no intention of healing the earth. Hold their feet to the fire on this. Keep mentioning hemp. Hemp is the answer!

Pollution is totally damaging the planet...plastic islands of trash called gyres floating in five oceans; as wide across as the state of Texas. Manufacturers world wide dumping toxic matter into the ground, streams, rivers and the ocean. It seemed that the oceans were infinite...and would never be harmed, but all the oceans are being harmed. Coral reefs the homes of fish are disintegrating from manmade pollutants. Whales and other marine animals are beaching themselves for a number of reasons; toxins in the water, mankind stealing their food, which is krill, and sonar from groups looking for oil, etc. Mankind all over the globe should be aware and working to stop the pollution. Otherwise Planet Earth will be gone.

You should check your sources about the trash islands. According to Patrick Moore (one of the founders of Greenpeace), the existence of these trash islands is a total fabrication--they do not exist. This does not mean that pollution of the oceans is not a problem, but it is best to use real data to describe that problem, instead of myths disseminated on the internet.

Similarly, the decline of coral reefs is greatly exaggerated. They actually go through cyclical changes of death and regeneration, rather like trees shedding their leaves in response to the seasons. I recommend you check out Patrick Moore's book, "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom", wherein he dissects the many lies and myths of the climate change industry.

Not sure about trash islands, but there's plenty of trash out there. Before the Feds diverted all their spending elsewhere, you could visit Midway Atoll in the middle of the Pacific and see the carcasses of many albatross chicks that died of starvation with their bellies full of plastic trash.

I have read about this information in reports years ago...not on the Internet.. I will check out what you have written. There are companies i read about that are trying to tackle this problem. Pollution is a worldwide problem, which if it isn't handled could destroy all life. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link...and when mankind causes the extinction of all other species..mankind will go. too.

So true. I have thought for years that farmers should be focusing on hemp. As you said, it is so versatile, and fairly easily grown. It could solve a lot of problems.

Too true. The medicinal cannabis we import into Australia is toxic due to the amount of chemicals used on the crop. Even neem has side effects when used incorrectly or excessively.

The problem is that we are not allowed to grow our own medicine so all the medicinal products are imported....... Mind you most patients switch the prescribed product with local but don't the licencing authorities. :)

Another great writer. Dr. Michael Crichton, pointed out several decades ago that the global anthropomorphic cooling/warming/change industry was the most fraudulent scam in world history.

The historical record you cite has a much greater significance than you seem to understand. The models that are used to support the notion that CO2 is the driver of our climate assume that a little CO2 will create a cascade of other greenhouse gases, principally water vapor. This is called a "sensitivity coefficient". The modelers use this with wild abandon to fit the model to historical data. This notion that is tiny perturbation can cause wild swings is a form of positive feedback, which is profoundly unstable in dynamic systems. We know that CO2 levels have been much higher in the past, and atmospheric physics haven't changed, thus, if small changes in CO2 were so calamitous the earth would have suffered the consequences long ago. The scam of human caused climate change has been evident for three decades. The success of this scam is a testimonial to the effectiveness of control of the media and the cowardice of the administrative "experts" we mistakenly rely on.

It has to be embarrassing to be a GoreBull Warmist now with all those AlGorical intensified hurricanes they predicted would hitting the US this season. Like the 1900 Galveston Hurricane that killed more than 5,000 because a cub scout mom drove her scouts to deliver Thanksgiving turkeys to the needy in her SUV. While the Obamas and the Bidens enjoyed watching sea levels rising from their beachfront mansions.

At least we finally got to the chemistry and physics of cloud formation. Clouds being more than 90% of mislabeled greenhouse gases. Cloud formation being verified recently at the Cern Cloud Chamber with interaction of atmospheric chemical compounds and cosmic rays. The altitude geometry of clouds determining whether solar heat radiation is reflected back into space, or trapped in the biosphere. None of which is calculated the we’re all gonna die AlGore Rhythms in current climate models. That can’t even back cast properly into known data sets.

97% of climate modelers agree by consensus they are all clueless. They can’t even get the weather right for next week, much less 50 years from now.

Yes, you’re right that human-activity induced “global warming” is one of the biggest scams ever perpetrated.

Three comments on that:

1) The world is only 5,786 years old.

2) The reason that those in positions of power claim the climate lie is to discourage people from having children, as their primary goal is population reduction, and to use the various methods of “fighting climate change” to gain control over the masses.

3) For those who are wondering about the various natural disasters we’ve been seeing, please open the Bible to find the cause. Yes, it didn’t take too many generations after the great flood for evil people to start pretending “natural causes” and claiming they could prevent another flood through human endeavor. Every 1,656 years, they claimed, the skies collapse, so they built a huge tower to hold it up… that didn’t get them very far, and is very similar to the silliness of today's climate activists.

The only thing that WILL help is humanity listening to God and leading moral lives.

Well "global warming" did fit into the idea of electric cars which can be turned off remotely. What a weird thought. If some big muckety muck did not like what you are saying or writing....he could simply TURN OFF YOUR ELECTRIC CAR....Is that really true?

I have heard they are not cost effective and that there is plenty of gas and/or oil for a very long time. I haven't looked into the science of this but I have read articles "debunking" electric cars as "energy efficient"or cost effective. Some experts believe they are neither....I can't afford a car right now....so I go everywhere on my electric bike....it works great. I even have baskets installed so I can shop for groceries. I have had it with cars. I like air travel, though.

Lithium mined by toddler slaves. Replacement batteries costing more than the original cost of the car. Limited range. Charging stations powered by electric - obtained from coal. Don't leave it charging when you're asleep as it could burst into flames and it's the toxic gases that kill. Breakdowns requiring specialists, etc, etc [catch up by watching old clips by 'Geoff buys cars' on You tube] xx

Electric cars are hampered by their limited range. Plus, they are more expensive. Perhaps one day those problems will be eliminated.

If the earth is only 6,000 years old according to The Word, why do we care about this? Diamonds are a good example as they should not contain carbon-14, yet they all do. Dinosaur bones should not contain collagen, yet they do. Perhaps the great flood described by Noah is the reason as well as the fact that we live in a corrupt world since the fall.

I stopped extensively reading the climate change people’s papers years ago when I decided not to be a climate scientist (too political). I have other things to do with my time now.

However to me widespread nuclear power seems to me to be the only ethical solution if (and I am very skeptical that anything but the solar cycle appreciably affects the climate), their claims are true. But their policies are always about instating an unelected body of cronies to micromanage the lives of the non-elites.

I got tired of the accusatory polemics with the 3rd IPCC Assessment Report in 2001. So I decided to find out for myself whether there was anything to worry about.

Since then, and after considerable study and work, I know the following (all peer-reviewed and published):

1) Climate models have no predictive value. They cannot predict future climate or future air temperatures.

https://www.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/feart.2019.00223

2) The historical air temperature record is so riven with measurement error that neither the rate nor the amount of warming since 1850 can be known.

https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/23/13/5976

3) That over the Cenozoic - the past 66 million years - the temperature of the sea surface very likely drove the level of atmospheric CO2. That is T => CO2, not CO2 => T.

CO2 was a neutral climate bystander. For 66 million years. Until today, apparently, when everything inverted.

https://doi.org/10.3390/geosciences14090238

After all the struggle to publish those papers, I further learned, from the quality of the reviews, that consensus climatologists of my experience do not have the training to determine the physical reliability of their own data or models.

They literally do not know to distinguish between an uncertainty statistic and a physical variable. Discussed here: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.34218.70083

The real question is not whether CO2 is driving air temperature. It's whether the IPCC and climate modelers know what they claim to know.

They don't.

Meanwhile all the climate observables remain within natural variation. There's zero sign of any crisis.

Maybe it's a scam. Maybe it's a modern tulip mania. But certain is it that the scare itself is powered by an artful pseudoscience all the way down.
