CO2 driven global warming is not supported by the data
American Thinker ^ | 10/18/2009 | Girma Orssengo

CO2 -- many seek to regulate it, legislate it, tax it, capture it, sequester it, cap it, trade it or otherwise control it. And they who do would have us risk nothing less than worldwide economic destruction based on the theory that not doing so will inevitably lead to catastrophic global warming. But one need only study the past two centuries of climate history to conclude that CO2 simply does not drive global warming.

Let us start from the data. The plot of the mean global temperature anomaly in deg C for the data from the Hadley Centre from year 1850 to 2008 is shown below.

This is like the worst correlation ever. In my first trimester of statistics, I could prove CO2 does not drive temperatures. I can’t believe this theory has been around so long without scientists laughing them out of the room. Global Warming is a black eye to all science.

No doubt true, but it’s a useful theory for promoting worldwide communism, hence Obama’s “belief” in it.

It’s returning to the mean, as if we were never here.

At last, I can stop blaming myself for owning a CO2 powered BB gun as a kid.

How many records (snowfall, low temp, and lowest max temp records) were set this last week?

4500 you say? How can that be?

A cold start to fall: over 4500 new snowfall, low temp, and lowest max temp records set in the USA this last week

CO2 driven global warming is a scam. The people at the heart of the scam could care less about climate change. They are interested in power and wealth, getting our power and our wealth. When they thought we were in a cooling cycle, the scam was all about an ice age. When they were sure we were in a warming cycle, they started up with the global warming scam. There are always foolish people to fool. Now that we are in another cooling cycle, one of the worst ones we’ve seen for some time, the flim-flam, robber barons of climate change are telling us the cooling is caused by warming, whatever it takes to steal the world’s wealth.

It is so frustrating reading about truth and facts. They have no value in our society any longer.

That’s right. Cooling is caused by warming.
As any farmer knows, plants thrive on CO2. The more CO2 the more plants.
But here’s the zinger that global warmers understand. Plants produce Oxygen and high oxygen levels promote animal fecundity. An increase in animal production creates more CO2 and CO2 creates more plant production.
The real CO2 culprit is plants. They are creating all of the globe’s problems. The global warmers understand that the plant’s sinister conspiracy must be stopped.
Save the planet. Join the global warming craze. Down with plants!

Too many and too complex to use in a family and friends discussion around the patio table.
