Geologist – “The sun, not CO2, drives Earth’s climate”
Ica Age Now ^ | July 22, 2019 | Robert Felix

Devastating news for human-caused global warming proponents. “The sun, not CO2, drives Earth’s climate,” says Dr Roger Higgs, long-time consultant geologist and sedimentologist. Higgs bases his statement on four vital points: Global warming and cooling are driven by the sun, specifically by the solar-sourced Interplanetary Magnetic Field, which regulates incoming cosmic rays, which in turn govern cloudiness and thus global temperature (the breathtakingly elegant Svensmark Theory). Global temperature oscillations lag 25 years behind the causative solar magnetic fluctuations. This 25-year lag is due to ocean thermal inertia in remarkable agreement with the 15-20-year time lag estimated by Abdussamatov et al. 2012). The idea that CO2 is the main climate driver, despite its scarcity in Earth’s atmosphere, ie 400 parts per million, near plant-starvation level, contrasts starkly with CO2’s 1,000 to 4,000 ppm levels for most of the last 600 million years. Earth is now cooling. Global warming ended in 2016: proof that the sun, not CO2, drives Earth’s climate. Moreover, from AD500 to 1200, CO2 levels were anti-correlated with Earth’s temperature. “The reality is that man’s industrialization just happened to occur in a period of solar-driven warming, a mere coincidence, causing governments to needlessly spend trillions of taxpayer dollars on CO2-reduction efforts,” says Dr Higgs.

Whenever I hear someone talk about “CO2 high in our atmosphere” I ask them if they know what a tree line is and why it is. When they give me a dumb look I ask them if a balloon filled with CO2 would float or drop.

I’m fairly certain “tree lines” are due to average temperature, not CO2.

Nice. I liked, “Dumb as a Bag of Geologists.”

Leonard: Well, what if we go around the university and just get the patent ourselves?

Howard: We can’t. It says on their web site, as long as we work there, they have a controlling ownership of anything we come up with.

Sheldon: Great, so they own my idea for a T-shirt that says “Dumb as a Bag of Geologists.”

Oregon had a state climatologist that was fired by the governor for saying that.

I expect the heresy trial to begin within the week. Also he will be blacklisted from the smithsonian and weather channels.

Curious about those facilities that grow medical marijuana. marijuana grows best at 1500-2000ppm of co2 so are they having to purchase carbon credits?

You don’t have to be a genius to see that increased CO2 is an effect of more sun/warming and increased “life” activity , both plant and animal life.

Notice the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere — 400 parts per million.

Notice the full quote:

400 parts per million, near plant-starvation level

They either buy tanked co2 at AirGas or burn propane... but it’s true , co2 is scarce and most plants , especially vigorous plants like mj that really enjoy higher co2 levels.

Since CO2 has been determined to be a pollutant and even poisonous, there should be a push to completely eradicate it from our atmosphere!

Well, I did my bit. I just planted 304 trees and am planning to plant another 30 in about 2 months. That should help reduce the CO2, if only by a smidge.

Before long the public may wake up and realize that there are some strange things going on-you think? Hint ....A repeat of the 3600 signature cycle...The last time it came around, along with it came the Biblical 10 PLAGUES which were not just limited to ancient Egypt but were world wide, as gleaned from Ancient Chinese History whose society was about at the same level as the ancient Egyptians at the time.

Needless to say since we are dealing with a repetitive event which spans several millenniums giving exact time estimates can only be approximately at best, as many other unknown factors enter into it as well. But from information collected we are just at the beginning of this cycle which may be rather lengthy in duration and as it unfolds it could become progressively more destructive.

What we are witnessing now and has been going on for some time, pretty much on a worldwide scale in a matter of speaking are just some of the appetizers. Ranging from floods, draughts, strange weather patterns, unseasonably cold in one area while others experience unusual heat, increase in earthquakes and their severity along with volcanic eruptions. Some scientists claim that these events may be contributed to a new GMS or Grand Solar Minimum, which we have not had for some time, with the last one being the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) ushering in a host of unpleasant things. This could very well be true, however it appears that this new GMS cycle runs concurrent with the 3600 year cycle what poses the following question. Is it just a coincident that these two cycles run concurrent ? Or whatever initiates this 3600 year cycle did it also interact with our sun to bring about the latest GMS cycle?

Since one question usually begets another some may ask what triggers this 3600 year cycle ? There are a host of diverging answers, but one which only too frequently comes up is that once again a celestial object is approaching or re-entering our solar system and in the process causing all types of disturbances.

Two things seem to be for certain, one is that we are heading into another Grand Solar Minimum or GMS and the other following right on its heels is the 3600 year anniversary (close to it) of the TEN PLAGUES. Either one can and will cause problems, it remains to be seen what happens if both combine and run concurrent.

At the moment the best answer which comes to mind is that we can look forward to some “Interesting times”

Bear in mind that it’s not global warming anymore. It’s the amorphous “climate change.”

It is true that the thinner atmosphere is also colder at elevations, it here’s an example of what you can easily find if you search:

At high altitude trees don’t grow (tree line), but grass and heather does. That is not because of the lower level of Oxygen (H2O), or lower temperature level, as we probably all learn in school, it’s because of the low level of Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

If that were true, the tree lines would be moving up as the overall level of CO2 in the atmosphere increased, and the minimum-required level of CO2 became available at higher altitudes.
