Take a look at this: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/07/not-laughing-now-wood-burning-stoves-firewood-short-supply-germany-citizens-fear-freezing-death-due-gas-shortages/
“Global Warming” has been a vanity project until now. It’s been a talking point, free of cost and effort, and a good reason to denounce–that is the word–the deniers, the skeptics, the SCIENTISTS who disagreed.
But 30% of Dutch farmers are going to be bankrupted by rules around global warming. There is a run in Germany on wood burning stoves and wood. Why? To prevent the efforts to prevent–or slow down, or strike a pose against–Global Warming from causing them to FREEZE TO DEATH.
Ponder that. Take your time. You might want to swirl in the predictions that have been made every five years or so since about 1995 that the polar ice caps would be melted within 5 years.
This whole fucking thing is like a fucking joke that people forgot was a joke. EVEN IF HUMANS WERE CAUSING MAJOR CHANGE, which we clearly aren’t, the whole race would need to cooperate. People warming themselves with wood fires–as perhaps half of humanity still does at times–would need to stop. India and China would need to cut emissions too, and they are going in the opposite direction, with China particularly in my understanding investing heavily in coal.
WE WOULD ALL NEED TO BE INVESTING HEAVILY IN NUCLEAR ENERGY.
Here is the thing: the nutjobs are finally truly getting their way. All of them are RICH, and none of these measures affect them AT ALL. And they don’t give a shit who suffers. It’s “for the planet”.
But would it not make sense to revisit the science one last time? Would it not make sense to ask “what would falsify this whole project?” How would we know if they were wrong, or mostly wrong, or possibly wrong?
I have simplified my own treatment of this.
- The Earth has been covered in ice and devoid of ice, all long before humanity. This means anything in between is natural variation.
- The Vostok Ice cores, from which nearly all historical CO2 data comes, have a resolution of no less than about 1,000 years. That makes anyone making statements about a 50 year period ignorant or corrupt, likely both.
- 3) The relevant climate data needs to be, and in the event can be, gathered by satellites. The hypothesis, were it to be formulated as such–which it has not been, making all this dependent entirely on a pure conjecture–is that CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels will cause a rapid warming in the Upper Troposphere, which will gradually cause more warming below, which will create a cascade of problems, such as disrupting the flows of warmer water to the north and south.
This hypothesis REQUIRES, in my understanding, differential warming at that altitude. It should be warming 2-3x faster than the areas above and below it, not warming–and cooling–at the same rate as the rest of the atmosphere, which is what it has been doing. If that warming is not present, then the hypothesis–remember it is not technically an hypothesis yet, since it cannot be falsified by any means–is wrong.
Now, knowing this, you may ask why NASA and the NOAA insist on using surface based measurements. There are all sorts of technical problems with such measurements, and all sorts of confounding factors. Well, yes. Precisely. They can fudge the data this way much more easily, and use their own models to create the data which they are supposedly measuring, but really creating with statistical algorithms. It’s a con game.
So this whole thing is complete bullshit. It is low fat diets, and COVID, but sandwiched somewhere in the middle. And PEOPLE WILL DIE because of all of this. They will be impoverished. Standards of living will drop precipitously FOR NO REASON, all while we hand power over to people who used DECEPTION to get it. That’s not a good start, is it? We are starting with crooks, and crooks who should never have been able to get away with such a patent and destructive farce.
