It’s Not About the Climate—It Never Was
Townhall ^ | 1Mar19 | David Legates

Posted on 03/01/2019 5:23:34 AM PST by major_gaff

Generally, I conclude most of my climate change presentations with the phrase
...
I will discuss why carbon dioxide isn’t the dangerous gas
it is made out to be, why climate change is not an ‘existential’
threat to the planet, and why the Green New Deal is not a
solution to climate change.

I would swear global cooling is here and getting worse. We usually have peas planted by now and growing. Kinda hard to plant in frozen ground.

Watch - Death of a Nation—and see the real story.

They may have relabeled it “Climate Change”, but it’s still the same old mantra of anthropogenic global warming, with sea rise as the impending threat to humanity. They carefully try to hide the obvious fact that sea rise has been happening since before the advent of the industrial age.

An article from a recent expedition to the “Blue Hole”:

https://weather.com/news/news/2019-02-28-great-blue-hole-discoveries-include-stalactites-conch-graveyard

“In a more recent blog post about the expedition, Bergman described more of the unusual features they found in the sinkhole that is 407 feet deep and more than 1,000 feet across.

She said one area they studied in detail was stalactite caverns that are 130 to 160 feet deep. These mineral icicles formed when the Great Blue Hole was a dry cave and dripping water left calcium salt deposits.

“These enormous stalactites have now been entirely encrusted in marine growth,” Bergman wrote.

The limestone and calcium carbonate walls of the sinkhole are terraced in spots, evidence of erosion that happened after sea level rose. Between the terraces, Bergman said, the walls are smooth and erosion-free because sea level rose rapidly then.”

It’s all about the destruction of western civilization, that is to say, civilization.

The core of the earth provides half of the earths heat due to nuclear reactions.


Simply not true. It is true that nuclear reactions in the Earth provide more heat than tidal forces from the Sun/moon combo, but 99.5%+ of the heat is from the Sun. Uranium and thorium in the crust (not the core) provide most of the internal heat, keeping the core warm, and the pressure differential also adds to the heat (although not for the Moon or Mars, which both have cold cores).

The key is that aspiration of all animal life is producing carbon dioxide. All animal life can be brought under law, taxation, restrictions, eugenics, reproductive limitations and controls, geographic locations permitted of said life, and much much worse.

Fish and insects are mega producers of carbon dioxide. Termites alone produce 10 times more carbon dioxide than all fossil fuel sources combined.

David Lagates has always been in the camp of skeptics. He was pushed out of the role as official Delaware Climatologist for his views.

Consider that CO2 is only 0.04% of our atmosphere and that the sun is without question the major driver of our global climate. While CO2 is a green house gas, parts per million increases in CO2 would have negligible impact on the planets climate compared to long known fluctuations of solar output. Some 20,000 years ago most of the northern hemisphere was covered with sheets of ice in some places more than a mile thick. Within about a 1,000 years that ice melted and the ice sheets retreated to the northern polar regions. No CO2 global warming theory can explain this proven massive shift in global climate. Obviously our planets complex climate cannot reasonably be attributed to minute changes in a single variable or we would routinely see major global warming each time there is a large scale volcanic eruption that dumps tons of CO2 and other potent greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. On the contrary major volcanic eruptions like Krakatoa in the early 19th century and Mt. Pinatubo in the late 20th century did produce measurable global cooling. However in neither case was there a tipping point producing irreversible climate change and the earth’s climate returned to equilibrium.

The end-game is about complete control over human activity by government.

That is it in a nutshell.

When they control all human output of carbon they control everything - absolute power.

Yeah he is skeptical but he still states that humans are having an impact on
the climate which is why I called him a 'warm-ist'. That being said, I
agree with most of his points.

Thanka for posting this. Excellent summary. I’m bookmarking this to send to my pastor.

“control all human output of carbon”

At its essence, controlling the use of fire, the foundation of civilization. These people are sick.

The Bray (Hallstatt) solar Cycle (2500 year cycle) in about 150 years that has triggered every glaciation in the Quaternary Ice age.

I've been wondering if some are aware of the Hallstatt Cycle coming. Could they be intentionally attempting to cool the earth one or two degrees guaranteeing a full glaciation?

If so this would make Stalin and Hitler jealous on how many people they're able to mass murder.

They can’t control Earth’s temperature no matter what they think.

I agree they can't control the Earth's temperatures using CO2. That is just stupid. But there are ways which I would rather not explain how. The mass murderers have about one hundred years they might figure it out.

They're using nano aluminum oxide in California to fight "global warming." Which any metal oxide and a fuel is used to make thermite fire bombs and they've been spreading it all over rural areas around California. These people should be in jail.
