Up until around 2008 I believed the Anthropogenic Global Warming storyline: "Mankind is increasing the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, (was around 300ppm @ 1800, is around 410ppm in 2018) and the CO2 acts to retain heat, so the Earth is warming dangerously."
Then I happened to come across this graph.
WTF? That... contradicts
everything in the AGW story. Obviously they cannot both be true. Curious, I started looking into this more carefully.
Turns out the entire AGW story is a manufactured lie, made up by Globalists in the 1980s, as a wedge to use to achieve their ideological agenda. They just like the idea of a global population under 800 million, and want to de-industrialise human society and kill a lot of people (9/10ths) to achieve that. The core lie is that CO2 in the air is the major factor influencing Earth surface temp. Actually, it has a small effect, that saturates at less than the current (very low) CO2 level, but the major factors are: atmospheric water vapor, and Solar output. (The Sun is a variable star.)
The key questions to ask yourself:
1. What was the average level of atmospheric CO2 over the geological history of life on Earth?
A: around 1000 to 3000ppm. Not a typo. Yes, far, far higher than now. And life on Earth was fine.
This was what immediately stood out to me from that graph. Obviously someone is lying.
2. When was the lowest-ever level of CO2?
A: in the Carboniferous-Permian transition, and now.
3. What is the lowest level of atmospheric CO2 that plants can survive?
A: around 150 to 100 ppm. Below that they just die. CO2 is plant food. Earth was nearly down to plant-starvation in the recent epoch. Greenhouse growers pump in CO2, 1000+ ppm, to make the plants grow very vigorously.
4. Anything else about plants and CO2?
Yes. Plants use openings in their leaves, called stomata, to regulate gas transfer for photosynthesis. The less CO2 available, the more they open the stomata to increase diffusion. Problem: the more they open stomata, the more H2O diffuses OUT from the leaf. So, the less CO2 around, the faster plants lose water. The more CO2, the less water they need. With higher CO2 levels, plants can survive far lower average rainfall climate. Apart from the low availability of carbon to build plant structure, Earth's current near starvation level of CO2 ALSO results in arid areas remaining barren, because CO2-starved plants can't survive without lots of water. In short, Earth's land surface is mostly desert atm, because of low CO2 levels in the air. Compared to historical levels that were far higher.
For a while I wondered if it was an honest mistake, a misunderstanding, just some bad science.
Nope. It's flat out barefaced lying and fraud. There are many, many instances of this becoming clear.
One good example - Michael Mann's 'hockey stick graph'. He's a climate scientist at CRU (Climate Research Unit, Univ of East Anglia - coincidentally an actual ivory-colored tower, which was the original locus of AGW theory dissemination) wrote a paper purporting to show a historically flat average Earth temp suddenly shooting up in recent decades , supposedly due to increasing CO2. This paper has been shown to be fraudulent, and there's an ongoing court battle to force Mann to show his raw data and statistical manipulations. He refuses. Because he falsified all of it.
There was a famous leak of emails from the CRU, in which Mann and colleges (also Warmist fakers) discuss how to 'hide the decline, and eliminate the middle ages warm period. ie fake the data record to hide that Earth was warmer in the Middle Ages than now, and had a considerable decline in temp during the middle 1900s. The fakery involved applying unfounded statistical manipulations to the historical data record, to 'flatten' it (into the 'stick' of the hockey stick.)
The Warmists NEVER show graphs of Earth's long term temperature variations, including the major ice ages and warm periods, because even with the faked temp data for the recent century, past variations dwarf current swings.
Also CO2 levels LAG temperature swings, not the other way round.
Here's a couple of longer term temperature records. See what I mean about putting current 'catastrophic warming' in perspective? That tiny bump at the right, that's what Warmists are wailing about. And what's more it isn't even doing that. Going on raw, unmanipulated surface temp data, there hasn't been any warming for the last 18 years. And in fact in the last year and half there's a sharp cooling becoming noticeable - more on that later.
Why do you think they changed their slogan from AGW to 'Climate change'? It's because they have become aware in the last decade of having to struggle harder and harder to skew data to make it look like Earth is still warming, that this sham is going to collapse pretty soon.
The hardest thing to grasp, is that so called scientists would actually outright lie. But they do. Even the Australian BOM (bureau of meterology) has been caught time and again faking - both current raw data (always drifted upwards by various means) and pushing historical records lower, again by multiple means. The entire BOM management should be sacked, and a judicial inquiry launched into their fraudulent behavior.
The worst side effect, is that the Global Warming scandal has corrupted the process of science itself. It's insidious. Everything from peer review journals that reject papers contrary to the status quo, independence of scientists (as opposed to being forced to produce the politically commanded results or have their funding cut and careers ruined), fraudulent pretense of 'consensus conclusions' that never existed (witness opposing groups of thousands of scientists signing counter petitions, that never get mentioned in any mainstream media), and international bodies (eg the IPCC) that are nothing but Elitist tools pushing a Globalist agenda.
Result: the public's faith in Science is seriously damaged. Conservationism and Environmentalism have been smeared by association with the Warmist liars. Science itself has lost the ability to fairly investigate real risks to Humankind and the Earth. The Scientific Method has become corrupted to a dysfunctional travesty. Like this:
The final irony lies in how badly the Global Warming scam is blowing up in the faces of its proponents. Because, surprise surprise, the Sun is right now entering into another Minimum, that both new theories of Solar physics, and the actual measured characteristics of the Sun both agree, will be around the same scale as the Maunder Minimum. The mini ice age that occurred in the Middle ages, lasted a few hundred years, and caused incredible suffering, starvation and death globally.
Little Ice Age, Big Chill (Climate Documentary)
It's impossible and not even desirable to deeply discuss here the history of the disastrous scam known as Global Warming. There's something of a chronological history in the links list below. Articles about the coming ice age are in the last few years of the chronology, since awareness of it has been around for a while, but mostly ignored till recent severe winters have started to bite.
