In the 1970's we were told that we were facing an ice age. We did indeed have an ice age 2.4 million years ago which lasted until 11,500 years ago. The earth has a natural cycle. What percent of climate change today is down to the earth natural cycle? We hear about polar bears going extinct, yet how many people realise that there are more polar bears nowadays compared to the 1960's? Why has the polar bear population increased? We have had ice ages and warm periods. Thus people who might say we are climate change deniers are actually completely wrong. We are the opposite and say that the climate has been constantly changing. We need a proper scientific discussion and debate.
We are told CO2 wrecks the planet and this has been made the enemy. There is evidence to suggest (although not conclusive) that as temperature goes up, CO2 goes up and as temperatures go down, CO2 goes down. It is not 100% clear but CO2 is a good fertilizer and plant gas which we depend on. We are being told it wrecks the planet. Yet water vapour is 490 times more important as a greenhouse gas than CO2. However, we focus on CO2 because those in charge can ban petrol motorcycles, car diesel, gas stove etc. There is an argument to suggest that we need more CO2 because it greens the planet. Even NASA admitted that the earth is more greener probably due to more CO2. Look at greenhouses, they triple the amount of CO2 because the plants love it. We NEED a proper scientific discussion!
Ssshhhhush. Don’t bring logical thoughts that run contrary to this great opportunity for a power grab! Imagine the whole world United against a single boogeyman! Do you know how powerful an opportunity this is? As Saul once said, never let an emergency go to waste. Did I get that name and quote correct?
