CO2 is not causing climate change

The first thing people should know about our planet and its climate is that it is chaotic and that it is changing all the time. There has never been a period when it was stable. It is always warming or cooling. The number and intensity of extreme weather events increases or decreases over extended periods and we can't explain why.

Some scientists made educated guesses about the causes of very-long-term changes, such as ice ages, but we do not have a satisfying explanation based on a complete understanding of what drives the climate. There is no such thing as a "climate theory".

If we had such an theory, we could make long-term predictions, but we can't. There's a good chance that there will be another ice age, but we can't predict it with any certainty. We can only speculate.

We don't know what caused the Medieval Warm Period - which was both, global and warmer than the current temperatures.

We don't know what caused the little ice age. We only know that after several centuries of extreme cold, the world started warming again about 300 years ago - and, needless to say, humanity had nothing to do with it. We currently live in this long-term warming trend, which progressed cyclically through a series of warming and cooling episodes.

Neither the long-term trend nor the shorter warming and cooling episodes are driven by CO2. There is absolutely no evidence for any correlation.

Here is extensive scientific documentation to prove the claim wrong:

  • from the 10th to the 13th century, there was the Medieval Warm Period, which was much warmer than the current temperatures. Here are more than 1000 studies from all over the globa that confirm that it was indeed a GLOBAL warm period, not just a regional one:

  • It was so warm that the Mongolian steppes grew green and the herds grew immense, along with the Mongolian population, which then caused them to spread out and launch attacks on China and Europe. Ghengis Khan was a result of the Medieval Warm Period. And guess what? No dangerous methane was released from Siberia, although it was clearly much warmer than now. - then came the Little Ice Age, which was an absolute disaster for all life forms, unlike all the warm periods on earth.
  • temperatures have fortunately been rising since we started emerging from the Little Ice Age, starting about 1750. Varioius glaciers, e.g. in Switzerland, started retreating during the 19th century. Their retreat was totally unrelated to human activity. They were much smaller 2000 years ago than now, as explained by Prof.Schlüchter from University of Bern:

  • 1895-1940, rapidly rising temperatures, strong Arctic melting, periods of extreme heat and droughts, massive forest fires far exceeding anything the world has seen over the last 80 years.
  • 1945 - 1978: massive global cooling, endless panicky articles about the coming ice age during the 1970s. Science, Nature, National Geographic, Washington Post, NYT, The Guardian etc. all published endless articles about the dangers of Global Cooling! Most of the alleged risks were exactly the same they now claim for "Global Warming" or "Climate Change", because they implicitely admit that temperatures are hardly rising anymore, since 1998.

    UNESCO Magazine dedicated to "Climate Change" 1973:

    NOAA Volume 4 Number 4 October 1974 "Man-made climate disasters due to global cooling":

  • 1980 - 1998: strong warming
  • 1999 - present: very little warming, but lots of data manipulation by NASA as they "adjust" historic and modern data (cf. below)

In 2013, the IPCC admitted that the "slowdown" was CENTRAL to their new report:
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-24173504

The IPCC modeler Dr.von Storch admitted that if temperatures did not start rising much faster within 5 years, they would have to abandon the CO2 climate warming hypothesis:

In October 2014, NASA was so desperate that they looked for the "missing heat" in the abyss ... and found nothing!

http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2014/06oct_abyss/

No heating of the oceans. In fact, neither satellite measurements nor the Argo buoy project that measured sea temperatures worldwide found any warming. The Argo buoys even found that the oceans were COOLING. Which NASA "fixed" by ... eliminating the data records that showed cooling and then writing a lengthy article about why it was ok to commit such scientific fraud.

Tempertures did NOT rise, but in 2015, the NOAA "discovered" the "missing heat" by lowering the temperatures of the past and raising the temperatures of the present! Just in time for Obama's paticipation in the Paris conference where he would talk about the dire consequences of this "Global Warming".

Take what they did with Reykjavik: they changed a record heat spike in 1940 into a very low temperature ... then had to change it back, because the change was fraudulent. But they did this to THOUSANDS of records!

The fragile environment myth

So all this climate change will be "dangerous" to the "fragile environment" of our planet and those who would suffer the most live in hot climates?

EXCEPT that our climate is:

  • NOT fragile
  • Climate change is the norm and happens all the time, including rapid warming and cooling
  • we are currently in the COLDEST period of the last 10'000 years
  • all the periods of great civilizations (Minoan, Roman, Medieval Warm Period etc.) were much warmer than now
  • the only measurable effect of the increased atmospheric CO2 has been a greening of the planet, especially in arid regions, i.e. exactly the opposite of the IPCC predictions:
    https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130708103521.htm
       and
    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/grl.50563/full
  • Forest fires DECLINED substantially from what they used to be in the first half of the 19th century. The statistics they usually present start in the 1960s to show an increase. They never show the data for the years before 1960: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rstb.2015.0345
  • Far from causing warm regions any harm, they benefitted immensely from the added CO2. Australia got greener, more humid and slightly cooler.
    http://theconversation.com/record-rains-made-australia-a-giant-green-global-carbon-sink-26646
  • In fact, we now grow much more food than in the past on SMALLER surfaces than in the past. Lots of fertile land is not currently in use.
  • All species are doing better, with warmer weather. Including polar bears - their population increased massively, since the 1960s when there was record Arctic ice. They went from about 8'000 to about 38'000 by now.
  • THERE IS NO MASS EXTINCTION!
    If life was "fragile", we would not be here. Life is incredibly adaptable and resiliant and adaptation happens at an extremely high speed - for the simple reason that the environment changes all the time!
  • The Krakatoa eruption of 1883 darkened the sun with a massive layer of particles in the stratosphere, which caused about 5 years of cooling - yet there were no mass extinctions: life adapts!
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krakatoa

All the alleged "risks" are in computer models that have the same validity as economic predictions by governments. Based on the modelers' own admission:

https://www.pnas.org/content/116/49/24390

The model temperature predictions diverge by more than the ENTIRE estimated warming since 1960.

They ignore that 1940 was only 0.2C cooler than 1998, which was hotter than any year since then.

Doomsayers always existed - it is a constant throughout human civilization. Doomsayers gain money and power over other people who fall for their lies.

What do ALL doomsayers have in common? 100% of their predictions FAILED!

There have been more than 50 predictions of doom since the 1960s (Club of Rome, Dr.Ehrlich, Earth Day, global cooling, global warming, sea level rise, Arctic melting, Antarctic melting, end of snow, deadly pollution etc.) - 100% WERE COMPLETELY WRONG!

Not even in the ballpark they predicted.

Professor Richard Muller, co-founder of Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature: "Looking at the data, I can see no evidence of human influence"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Moum_SZ5NNY

Prof. Muller was already very upset in 2004 when he found that Michael Mann's hockey stick model was completely wrong. He gave him the benefit of doubt and assumed it was an honest mistake, but it was intentional fraud:

https://www.technologyreview.com/s/403256/global-warming-bombshell/

As for the ice core studies, they mostly confirmed that "We live in the coldest period of the last 10.000 years", as explained in this video by glaciologist Jørgen Peder Steffensen as he takes us back in time to the Greenland icecores and reveals the secrets from the past:

https://vimeo.com/14366077

It's really interesting how many people keep claiming that ice core data supposedly shows much lower CO2 levels for the past 800'000 years, but keep forgetting that the ice core data still shows MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES, which totally destroys the alleged temperature - CO2 correlation. Obvious conclusion: either CO2 has no influence at all on temperature or the influence is so small as to be negligible.

Here is an article summing up all the data fraud that has been used to convince people that there is severe global warming and that it is the fault of humanity:

AT WHAT POINT DO PEOPLE STOP BELIEVING THOSE LIARS?
