Geologist: ‘The CO2 scare is proving false – it’s time for some climate sense’ – UN seeks ‘fake answer to invented problem’ of ‘climate emergency
Geologist Viv Forbes: "The carbon dioxide scare is proving false - it’s time for some climate sense. Human activity can never control atmospheric CO2 or global temperature.

Moreover, the ice core records from Antarctica and Greenland show clearly that atmospheric temperature always rises before CO2 levels rise.

Time for Climate Sense
Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a Swedish
scientist who first claimed that the burning of hydro-carbons like coal,
oil, gas, peat and wood may cause global warming.
In 1895 he calculated (incorrectly) that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would lead to a 4-5o C rise in global temperature.
However, Arrhenius suggested that this
increase could be beneficial, making the various climates on Earth “more
equable” and stimulating plant growth and food production.
Then a showman/politician, Al Gore, gave
life to the theory that extra carbon dioxide due to human activities
will cause dangerous global warming.
But temperatures refused to obey the
alarmist computer model forecasts. So they switched to the universal
bogey-man – climate-change, where every bit of bad weather was blamed on
western industry. But this did not scare enough people so it morphed
into climate emergency, which allows coal,
oil, gas, cars and cattle to be blamed for everything bad – floods and
droughts, snowstorms and heatwaves, bushfires, coral bleaching, species
extinction and pollution anywhere.
But the carbon dioxide scare is proving false – it’s time for some climate sense.
Human activity can never control
atmospheric CO2 or global temperature. Much bigger forces are at work –
solar system cycles, earth orbital changes, volcanic activity
(especially on the sea floor), El Niño episodes, declining magnetic
field and magnetic pole reversals, variable cosmic rays and cloud cover,
and absorption/expulsion of CO2 by the mighty oceans.
Geological records show that today’s CO2 levels are very low – so low that plants grow slower and need more water.
Moreover, the ice core records from
Antarctica and Greenland show clearly that atmospheric temperature
always rises before CO2 levels rise. So rising CO2 is the effect of rising temperature not the cause.
Warming oceans are like warming beer – they both expel bubbles of CO2
into the atmosphere. When oceans cool, they take it back.
The dense plant and animal populations in
equatorial regions shows that humans need not fear global warming – in
fact the Russian President has welcomed the possibility of warming for
his cold land.
We live in a natural warm interlude but we
are past the warming peak. There will still be fluctuations and extreme
weather events but the next big move will be global cooling – the 11th freeze-up
in about a million years. All it needs are oceans heated by submarine
volcanoes, and skies made cold by volcanic ash that blocks incoming
solar energy. This will trigger evaporation of water from the oceans and
heavy snowfalls on land. Once the summer sun fails to melt all the
winter snow, glaciers and ice sheets will advance again. The increased
albedo from the snow and ice will cause further cooling.
Ice ages have been a periodic threat to
much of life on Earth. As the ice sheets spread from the North Pole
there will be massive depopulation and survivors will need to relearn
hunter-gatherer skills or have access to reliable energy. Wind turbines
and solar panels will not work in snowy conditions and many hydro-energy
supplies will also freeze up. Even the Great Niagara Falls froze in
1848 during the Little Ice Age.
But the UN climate bureaucracy will probably still collect climate
taxes and organize well-fed conferences in places with a warm climate
and reliable power.
Alarmism over climate is the great gravy
train for academics, bureaucrats, speculators, globalists and
politicians seeking excuses for more power and more taxes.
“Climate emergency”
is an exercise in global politics, not science. The plan is to scare us
into transferring money and power from western nations to the UN – a
fake answer to an invented problem.
