During this summer of 2023 (NH), we witnessed catastrophic wildfires in Hawaii, western and northern Canada, and the northwestern United States, burning not only hundreds of square miles of oxygen-producing forests, but also communities in major cities, small towns, and villages were hit, while right next door, in a neighboring state, we saw hurricane-force downpours, and devastating flooding of several towns and villages.
We are expected to believe that this is all caused by an increase in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere from 0.03% to 0.04%, according to the madness promoted by governments and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media – and all this in the absence of any evidence. They just put their bold label on it: climate change. That’s reason enough for them, and it’s suggested that it should be reason enough for the rest of us.
Before this astronomical (😏 ) CO2 increase of 0.01%, average temperatures on Earth were ~0.9 degrees Celsius lower than today. It is fair to say that no one knows exactly how much (if anything measurable) of that 0.9 degree increase is due to the 0.01% increase in CO2 concentration. But we all know that half of the 0.9 degree rise in temperature occurred before fossil fuel planes flew. Cars, trucks, trains, ships and buses have only been in use since about the middle of the 20th century. That should be a clue to rational thinking people, whether they understand the underlying science or not.
The honest consensus on the causes of climate change among real and legitimate scientists who actually study potential causes of changes in global temperatures and climates in scientific detail, is probably much closer to zero. Even the total temperature increase of 0.9 degrees over the past 125 years would not be a reason for catastrophic weather events such as droughts, hurricanes, storms, El Niños, heat domes, atmospheric rivers, etc.
There are many other reasons for such events that are scientifically more probable than a 0.01% rise in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, or any part of a 0.9 degree rise in global average temperature. In short, catastrophic weather events result mainly from physical interactions between adjacent climates, and to a lesser extent from sudden and significant tectonic changes (e.g. volcanoes).
There are many science-based causes for changes in the Earth’s average temperature, both at the Earth’s surface and at different altitudes in the atmosphere, and even more reasons for constant changes in the many climates around the world that exist simultaneously. But the proponents of the man-made climate change narrative (also called anthropogenic global warming, or AGW), have a major influence on politics and the media through their financial resources and ownership of newspapers, radio and TV-stations.
With that control, they can prevent public discussion about scientific reasons and causes of global temperature and climate changes. Or at least they make it extremely difficult for really well-informed scientists to have fruitful communication links with the general public. The megaphones of the mainstream media are the gateways to the minds of the voting population. It appears that the alternative voices about anything to do with climate change are off limits to main stream media (MSM).
So that’s the problem. Getting the media to side with the truth is the first step in the overall solution of the problem. The problem will be solved when the public is informed enough to vote the bad guys out of office, and replace them with people who are not out to destroy our personal freedoms, our free enterprise production, our democracy, our national sovereignty, our way of life – all of which apparently need to be ‘reset’
