Here’s How We Know The Climate Crisis Is Not About The Climate
Issues & Insights ^ | 3 May, 2024 | I&I Editorial Board

Posted on 05/06/2024 4:06:09 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Carbon dioxide is a pollutant, the Environmental Protection Agency says. It’s been drilled into us for more than 30 years that we have to cut our CO2 emissions if we don’t want the world to end too soon. But we know that the climate scare is in no way related to protecting the sky. The data tell us so.

Over the last three calendar years, 2021, 2022, and 2023, “​​​​no country has reduced its carbon emissions more than any other major nation on a per capita basis,” the Committee to Unleash Prosperity tells us.

“Even though our GDP is about 50% higher than China’s, our per capita emissions are roughly the same,” says the group.

The data also tell us that though China’s emissions grow every year, “ours have come down every year over the last decade.”

et the U.S. is continually singled out as the worst greenhouse gas offender, while China – and India – escape the wrath of the klimate kooks, from Greta Thunberg to Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, who actually “praised China’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”

The CTUP chart above shows a sharp decrease in U.S. emissions and a modest drop in European Union emissions. But look at the increases in India, Southeast Asia, and China, particularly the latter. Can anyone remember when climate alarmists traveled to Beijing, Mumbai, or Jakarta to publicly chastise the nations these capitals represent for their emissions? When was the last time a U.S. lawmaker demanded that these countries cut their fossil fuel use?

If our “leaders” were being honest, then we wouldn’t have an entirely mad administration demanding that we cut “greenhouse gas emissions 50-52% below 2005 levels in 2030,” reach “100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035” and achieve “a net-zero emissions economy by 2050.”

Nor would our elites have feted Thunberg and treated her as an authority who must be revered while she ranted and scolded and screeched. Pope Francis would not have admonished America for its “irresponsible” Western lifestyle and Bill Nye, no science guy but an engineer and an actor, would have never said that voting (he means for U.S. Democrats) is the best option “if you want to do one thing about climate change.”

Then there are the cranks at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, who insist that “observed and anticipated increases in greenhouse gas emissions from China and other countries don’t let Americans off the hook for reducing emissions.” And never forget that Al Gore has made a post-vice presidential career out of blaming the U.S. for what believes is a disaster in the making.

If the climatistas were truly concerned with the planet, they would nag the countries that are increasing emissions. But those aren’t developed Western nations, so they get a pass. This gives the game away. Climate hysteria is not about stopping some imagined warming, it’s about choking capitalism, punishing wealthy societies, and establishing a socialist-collectivist governance model.

Should the U.S. cease to exist tomorrow, or if we simply stopped burning fossil fuels tomorrow, (which means we’d cease to exist not tomorrow but in a short time), the global temperature, whatever that is, would not move. Surely the climate zealots know this. But emissions are not the issue. The issue, as we’re reminded, is always about the revolution with these people. The goal is to punish the West for daring to ride capitalism to a prosperous existence.

The goal is to punish the free market system for creating prosperity and to turn over control of the means of production to the communists.

Volcanoes pump a great deal of CO2 into the atmosphere (Science)

Both above ground and deep sea volcanoes

Reducing global CO2 by 20 PPM isn’t going to do a darn thing.

The climate hoax is brainwashing 101 to elicit near total control over a populace!
PERIOD!

If flooding is a problem, add more retaining walls to keep water out. If flooding is on property, get better grains and sewers. I think there are places that are flooding but instead of small improvements, they go bonkers and choose the wrong methods to fix it.

Illegal immigration is also a big CO2 emitter as well as welfarism in general, so FUBO associating BLM with Climate Change mobilisation.

End the so called war on poverty, government taxpayer funding of useless colleges and non profit organizations wasting our planet and nation for real.

This is a blame deflection method to make the every day free American feel bad for being so, just like when the abusive cop-justice system deflected their word and law-lie abuses on racism.

And to demoralize it too.

It has been researched, the fall of the Roman empire was due to suprstitious anxiety and demoralization

I saw a news story that stated that the sea level rise was the greatest in the southern states. What??? How can one part of the ocean rise and the rest stays the same? These people may be propaganda experts, but they must have flunked science class.

China’s efforts are shoddy across the board, but they are trying to solve world overpopulation with communist style environmental destruction, world-wide overfishing, forced abortions, Wuhan viruses, exploding electric cars with fake airbags capable of spontaneously catching fires that are impervious to water and can melt down steel support columns, poisoned baby formula, fentanyl precursors and equipment, building two new brown coal power plants per week. America’s commies wish they had that kind of control. Possibly, China will secretly release genetically engineered saltwater super algae into all the oceans that will suck ever last molecule of CO2 out of the air, ending all life.

CO2 is not the problem. The models that use it to predict crises are. The only serious issue is the sea level rise that can be linked the global warming, through the melting of yhe Greenland and south pole ice caps. The Dutch have been dealing with that for centuries so set them to work.
If we really reduce CO2 by a significant amount, all plant life will suffer and then people will really die.

Its all a farce. Plant life uses CO2 to manufacture O2. Rid the world of CO2 and everything and everybody dies. The world would look like the moon in a short period of time.

You know its fake due to the fact that many of its biggest cheerleaders lead the highest carbon footprint lifestyles imaginable.

Private Jets, Limos, Yachts, Giant energy sucking mansion, seaside mansions, you name it. They do it.

The Hollywood crew (DiCaprio, Harrison Ford, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joaquin Phoenix, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and any others you care to name.

The Royal family.

Billionaires like Bloomberg, Zuckerberg, etc

Politicians like John Kerry, Barack Obama, Al Gore, etc etc.

They ALL do this. They refuse to live by the standards they urge others to live by. They refuse to even make the slightest pretense that they are living up to those standards.

You mean all that stuff? Great! Show us the way. We’ll follow after you live it yourselves. Until then......STFU.

Again, if world ‘leaders’ thought that we were on the edge of catastrophe if we didn’t slash CO2 production, they would be pushing for nuclear power plants as a stop gap approach. That they aren’t tells you everything you need to know about what is really true.

Further, if the US government truly believed that the US carbon footprint is putting the world at risk, they wouldn’t be opening our borders and increasing our population.

Trump’s Futuristic “Quantum Leap” Plan Captivates … and Raises Questions
New American ^ | March 4, 2023 | Luis Miguel
https://thenewamerican.com/trumps-futuristic-quantum-leap-plan-captivates-and-raises-questions/
…In his announcement of the plan, Trump said it would include building futuristic cities, known as “Freedom Cities,” on federal land; equipping these cities with air mobility via vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles; revitalizing American industry by cutting off Chinese imports; encouraging families by offering “baby bonuses”; and leading a nationwide beautification campaign.

The climate alarmist will fail. We will be able to live much further from the cities on larger pieces of land and grow our own fruit and vegetables.

The service oriented sanctuary cities will see an outward migration.
Nobody wants to live in an apartment building with feral kids and single parent families.
We don’t want to ride on a bus with piss soaked seats and people that have never been vaccinated.
I’m talking about normal diseases, not Covid.
There will be nobody to support a city that redistributes our wealth to illegal aliens.

3D printing has reached a speed that makes it viable.
Ease of use is making it much better, but its not quite there yet.
Facebook has many 3D printing groups.
This will make our dependence on foreign manufacturing and shipping much less.
I’ve 3D printed many things for the house, yard and tools.
I can send a 3D print file anywhere in the world online.
It takes me about 30 minutes to design a 3D print file and there are many places online where you can buy files.

Plenty of proof to show that CO2 is not a problem & never has been. It seems odd that some people would keep harping about it & yet it’s been known for a long time that we don’t have excessive CO2. High school science.

I’ve notice the scam narrative is changing as scientific facts about CO2 become more public. The narrative now is starting to shift to Methane (CH4)as the new bug-a-boo. Real facts are anathema to the climate scam which means the narrative must be adjusted to provide for pubic awareness of the old lies with new lies.
