global warming

How accurate were the predictions made around the time of the first Earth Day in 1970? The answer: “The prophets of doom were not simply wrong, but spectacularly wrong,”

Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years [by 1985 or 2000] unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”

Climate Change is Normal not Man Made! ---Yes, CO2 by man does nothing to change the weather. ---Yes, the IPCC is made up of Greenpeace top level people and has its own agenda with 23 lobbyists in DC.

“The most profound questions with the most surprising answers are often the simplest to ask. One is: Why is the climate always changing? Historical and archaeological evidence of global warming and cooling that occurred long before the Industrial revolution, require natural explanations”

The IPCC (United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) has no geologists among the hundreds of authors of its last major report (2013/14) and at most 1 geologist in the next report. Thus IPCC focuses on only the last 170 years (since multiple reliable thermometer measurements began, ~1850), yet Earth is 26 million (sic) times older, 4.5 billion years. Geologists know that throughout this time Earth has constantly warmed or cooled (never static). Thus 'climate change' (warming or cooling) is perfectly usual. During the last 11,650 years, our current ‘Holocene’ interglacial epoch, climate change has repeatedly been fast enough to cause collapse of civilizations.

The IPCC’s very existence relies on public belief in ‘Anthropogenic (man-made) Global Warming' (AGW) by CO2 emissions. Most IPCC authors, mainly government and university researchers, are biased by strong vested interests in AGW - Anthropogenic Global Warming (publications; reputations; continuance of salaries; research grants).

The "greenhouse effect... a slight misnomer" (Wiki; in fact a complete misnomer;)... "is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface". This bold claim that Earth's land- and ocean surfaces are warmed by the air is 'backwards'. In truth the (solar-warmed) ocean warms the atmosphere, as shown by three observations: (1) ocean-surface water (covering ~70% of Earth) is almost everywhere warmer (fractionally) than the air above it; (2) changes in global average surface air temperature lag 1 to 1.5 months behind corresponding changes in global sea-surface temperature; and (3) Antarctica has failed to warm in the last several decades (attributed to the ice sheet's high elevation delaying the landward penetration of ocean-warmed air). These facts indicate that heat (only capable of flowing one way, from warmer to cooler) flows outward, from the ocean to the air, not vice versa. A truthful summary of the greenhouse effect is that solar energy absorbed at Earth’s surface is radiated back into the atmosphere as heat, some of which is absorbed on its way out to space by greenhouse gases. Thus greenhouse gases cause no warming; instead they reduce the air's heat loss to space, exactly in the manner demonstrated by the great John Tyndall (Bullet 2B), who experimentally confirmed (1860) what is now called the greenhouse effect.

“We’ve got to ride this global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, we will be doing the right thing in terms of economic and environmental policy.“ – Timothy Wirth Former President of the UN Foundation

Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today. None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

What follows is a collection of notably wild predictions from notable people in government and science. More than merely spotlighting the failed predictions, this collection shows that the makers of failed apocalyptic predictions often are individuals holding respected positions in government and science.

Dr. Moore says we were literally running out of carbon before we started to pump it back into the atmosphere, “CO2 has been declining to where it is getting close to the end of plant life, and in another 1.8 million years, life would begin to die on planet Earth for lack of CO2.” According to Moore it is life itself that has been consuming carbon and storing it in carbonaceous rocks.

A Hitchhiker’s Journey Through Climate Change is an eye-opener for the general public, particularly the victims of climate change social wars. This book takes its reader on a climate change journey while pointing out all the myths and opinions of the “end-of-the-world prophets” related to it.

The Greenhouse Effect is a pressure-induced thermal enhancement (PTE) and not a radiative phenomenon driven by heat-absorbing gases as currently believed. Hence, carbon emissions cannot affect the global climate. The sensitivity of Earth’s climate to CO2 is virtually zero! Some 500 years ago, Copernicus simplified the complicated model describing planetary retrogressions by conceptually observing Earth from afar. The study by Nikolov and Zeller (2017) simplifies the understanding of the physics of climate by taking a similar broad extra-terrestrial perspective. Their findings also provide new insight as to why the IPCC-supported Global Climate Models (GCMs) based on the radiative Greenhouse concept fail to predict observed global temperature trends, hence should not be used for policy decision making.

The 20th Century brought horrendous suffering and death. The covid pandemic of 2019 - 2021 caused several million deaths but much less than other pandemics and acts of man. Politicians triggered a global economic downturn that led to a reduction in man-made carbon dioxide emissions. But this did not change the increasing atmospheric CO2 trajectory. The increase in atmospheric CO2 must be from another source, like release of CO2 from the oceans from a naturally warming world. Leaders of the free world are forcing very questionable energy policies (abandon fossil fuels and nuclear power - go with wind and solar). That is unjustified and scientifically baseless. The decisions of alarmist politicians and their backers will cause tremendous suffering and death. Our worst enemies are among us.

Der Mensch nutzt seit Beginn der Industrialisierung unzählige Maschinen und Vorgänge, die einen besseren Lebensstandard und eine immer umfangreichere Produktion und eine schnelle grenzenlose Beweglichkeit zu verleihen. Der Antrieb aller Technik ist das Umformen von chemischer Energie (Öl, Kohle, Gas) in andere Energieformen nach den Gesetzen der Thermodynamik.

Solch ein Ablauf erfordert einen Bereich höherer und einen niedrigerer Temperatur. Je grösser deren Unterschied umso grösser der Wirkungsgrad des Prozesses.

Eine detaillierte Quantifizierung, die nicht einfach gefunden werden kann, könnte das relative Ausmass dieser Erwärmung erkennbarer machen, aber die hier dargestellte qualitative Betrachtung (qualitativ wie der vermutete, Einfluss des CO2) ist ein physikalisches naturgegebenes Faktum.

Open your heart and your brain. Look at this photo, in Section 7.3.1. of article below. Look at it again, and again. Don’t be lazy, don’t be squeamish; look at each face; each has his or her unique gift from nature and God.

First and foremost, I am a lover of humanity, and right alongside that, I’m a lover of nature.

Why have we been conditioned, like Pavlov’s dogs, to confuse CO2 with pollution? That’s the question we will answer in this section.

Let me say at once that I have no desire to discourage anyone from believing in either extraterrestrials or global warming. That would be quite impossible to do. Rather, I want to discuss the history of several widely-publicized beliefs and to point to what I consider an emerging crisis in the whole enterprise of science—namely the increasingly uneasy relationship between hard science and public policy.

NOTE by Gary Young: I have for 30 years been working on a book called True Belief. That started in 1968 when the Navy assigned me and four more at other universities the task of creating a college text - Management for Midshipmen. That was because so many leftists in the 52 colleges and university that had Navy ROTC units who thought the Naval Leadership course then taught was not academically worthy. Turns out the other four all bailed and I was left working with two professors from UCLA then trying it out on my students at Oregon State. It worked well with my students but when I sent it up the chain of command to become an official Navy publication to be used in the next academic year at all 52 schools, it came back looking little like I sent up. Still, I caught the bug on trying to identify what makes people tick. I don’t think I or anyone else will ever really nail it, but it has been an interesting journey. Eric Hoffer made a good start. Crichton reminded me of another aspect, most people have a strong need to believe in something and perhaps anything just to validate their existence. Surprisingly, the greater the gaps in logic, science, reality, etc., the stronger the beliefs necessary to bridge the gaps!
