This is the text of an opinion piece I submitted to my local Gannett newsrag. Surprisingly, they published it, unedited!
“I am tiring of the constant misinformation about the naturally changing climate.
If every country on Earth confiscated every penny beyond bare subsistence from every person and spent it all on “climate”, they couldn’t affect the global temperature by one degree or the sea levels by an inch. If you believe otherwise, you have been scammed. The objects of the scam- MONEY and POWER.
They lie to you in seeking that money and power, and many of you believe them. Though life on Earth is carbon-based, they have convinced you that carbon is a pollutant rather than the basic building block of life as we know it. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is four hundredths of one percent. If it was five time greater the only difference we’d notice is the plant life around us thriving. And the dominant greenhouse gas is water vapor.
The “elite” want you frightened. They want to ban fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Since the alternate technologies are not nearly capable of replacing them, you’ll freeze in the dark. But THEY won’t!
The climate control promoters never mention the environmental impact of the massive volcanoes that have erupted recently. The Tonga Volcano pumped an estimated 58 billion tons of ash and vapor into the atmosphere in January 2022 which is affecting global weather. World wide droughts are now in play but no climate scientists ever mention this enormous event and its repercussions.
You cannot control the climate; you must adapt to it.”
That is awesome
