The Warming World: Is Capitalism Destroying Our Planet? (barf: admits anti-capitalism)
Der Spiegel ^ | February 25, 2015 – 06:05 PM | Alexander Jung, Horand Knaup, Samiha Shafy and Bernhard Zand

Since 1880, when global temperatures began to be systematically collected, no year has been warmer than 2014. The 15 warmest years, with one single exception, have come during the first 15 years of the new millennium. Indeed, it has become an open question as to whether global warming can be stopped anymore—or at least limited as policymakers have called for. Is capitalism ultimately responsible for the problem, or could it actually help to solve it? […]

Following the Copenhagen fiasco, the executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Yvo de Boer of the Netherlands, resigned in frustration. He had, he said in a 2013 interview with Bloomberg Business, lost his faith in climate diplomacy. “The only way that a 2015 agreement can achieve a 2-degree goal is to shut down the whole global economy,” he said. […]

When did global warming cease being merely a computer simulation? It must have been at some point between the 1970s, when the world experienced 660 natural catastrophes, and the last decade, with its 3,322 storms, heat waves and flooding. It came quietly, as most of us were looking away. Since then, the ice cap at the North Pole is melting, glaciers in the Alps are disappearing and dikes on the North Sea have had to be heightened. …

Good chart!

It’s also possible, that the experts haven’t found evidence of every radical geo-magnetic field deviation (re. the extra seismic activity and eruptions, see increased outer core and mantle movements with increased flux field movements).

Magnetic North, Geomagnetic and Magnetic Poles

If their data came from the NOAA, some of that was recently revised way back to show no increase in speed in the movement of magnetic north.

We’re supposed to be completely distracted by the propaganda about global warming, you see. That’s how some folks try to corner markets and control populations (futile effort like fortune telling and cat herding).

BTW, we have been in another extended solar minimum for some time (noticeably about 8 years or so). There was a little at max but not much and not for long. We should get a slight blast (G1) during the next 24 hours or so, but it was from isolated and small activity. The sun is generally not very active.

Run a browser find on the following page to find this:
“Cosmic rays are repelled by CMEs”

http://spaceweather.com/

And see “damage” in the following.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_ray

Damage to life is more likely with less solar activity and with weak spots in the earth’s magnetic field.

Some individuals, groups and governments pay large fees for real, private research on such topics. See the real reasons for their hysteria over the past few years?

Meanwhile they say, in essence, “Let them eat global warming” while blaming the rest of us for cluttering their pristine scenery with our unstylish selves.

It’s definitely way past time to spend billions on a Put Out the Sun govt bureaucracy. It’s the only answer.

Capitolism started when the first person traded something for something else with another person.

I have traded dollasr for natural gas from a local company. The gas is keeping my house toasty warm on this night when the outside temperature is 15 degrees.

Yes, capitalism does cause warming.

Bump for that chart. Had to try to explain it to my 8 year old daughter today when she complained that one of her library books (fiction, a popular kids’ series) was all about global warming.

Yep, but gas heating is extremely localized.

The Weather Satellites we had back in 1880 weren’t very reliable. I question the accuracy of the information.

The whole point of the global warming “solution” is the enslavement of the globe to communism. They are paying off corporation with “research and development” money now, but in the future they will be taken over by a global government.

Some of those credited with being the most successful capitalists in practice are sponsoring the propaganda about mankind causing global warming.
