Why did Prof. Noam Chomsky call the US Republican Party 'The most dangerous organization in the history of the world'?
Well, he would, wouldn't he, being a leftist & all & trying desperately to avert attention from the Lefties !
Portray a lie as truth & the truth as a lie !

ITS THE SUN, STUPID !

Bazz,
NO IT ISN'T, STUPID!

Diver,
Nobody's trying to cause a panic. What people are trying to do is get everyone to take action.

Aidan there is nothing more stupid than "taking action" against the wrong reason for anything.

Poor little CO2 is responsible fore nothing, except for fertalising all the food we need to survive.

As a farmer concerned about the dire implications of ‘climate change’ (as in man-induced climate change) I decided to check the science for myself.

What I found astounded me.

The science underlying the way greenhouse gasses actually operate in the real world, make it clear that carbon dioxide cannot possibly be the ‘principle driver of the current warming period’ as assumed by the IPCC and its naive, media brainwashed, or agenda-driven adherents.

Water vapour is overwhelmingly the major greenhouse gas both in its much wider activity spectrum of operation within the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) range of Infrared radiation emitted from Earth and in its very much higher atmospheric concentration.

Carbon dioxide on the other hand only effectively operates at a spike centred at 14.9um, an area also partially covered by water vapour.
Methane's active zone is also almost completely covered and swamped by water vapour.
This spectrum saturation by water vapour severely limits any additional warming effect from these additional sources.

On top of that, deep in the IPCC’s own current scientific report, mankind’s total contribution to increasing atmospheric CO2 is calculated at only 4.3%. 95.7% of the increase is from well explained natural causes.

Runaway climate change from anthropogenic carbon dioxide is therefore an impossibility, however the benefits from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide for farmers and all biota are absolutely enormous, but these are inexplicably completely ignored.

Climate Change believers would be better off if they first took the time to do their own independent due-diligence on this issue before making such patently obvious fools of themselves .

From the article..."According to the 2018 IPCC Report, the world has only a very short time left in which to stop the extraction and use of fossil fuels. If we collectively fail to do this within a decade or so," blah blah blah...

Well, yes its true that the IPCC said that. But then they ALWAYS say that. We've spent the last 30 years being told we only have x-years left before its too late. 'x' is sometimes 10 years, sometimes 7 years, sometimes 12 years. Remember we've only got 6 years before we have an ice-free Arctic. Except that, 15 years later, there's still ice there.

But as with most things, the committed always fear the latest prediction and forget all the previous failed predictions. T'was always thus.

So now we're told that the Republicans are the fossil fuel villains and the Democrats, by implication, the heroes. And its true that Biden, Harris et al have promised to get rid of fossil fuels.

Except....

Now that the polls are moving in the wrong direction, Biden is now telling the voters in places like Pennsylvania that he loves fracking etc. Its a damned lie (a lie I tells ya) that he wants to get rid of fracking and fossil fuels. Don't believe those videos where he actually said he'd get rid of fossil fuels - the're just Trump lies, or something.

So it seems the Democrats are gung-ho for burning carbon and that, therefore, they are also fossil fuel villains. Just don't expect the author to write about that.
