You are correct.
The entire “anthropocentric global warming (AGW)” narrative was developed because some totalitarian wannabes saw it as a way to impose socialist dictatorships, which people have consistently rejected since the 1800s. We wouldn’t accept socialism on its merits; therefore, socialism has to be disguised and passed off as something else. Various attempts to cloak socialism have failed—so AGW was concocted so as to use fear to get us to voluntarily give up our freedom.
We’re fighting back. All we have to do is keep pointing out that the science that supports AGW just is not there. Sure, there are thousands of scientific papers that “support” AGW—but if you actually read those papers, the “support” for AGW pretty much consists of “We observed x, which is happening because of AGW.” That kind of statement is meaningless. One could just as easily say, “We observed x, because a meteor streaked by last night.” None of these “because of AGW” validate the hypothesis of AGW, which remains a hypothesis despite decades of hysteria. What I have yet to see is any experimental or observational evidence that human activities have more than a local effect on climate, and whether local effects have global consequences or just fade into the background “noise.”
I think that once the prerequisite hysteria dies down, the other countries will quietly pull from the (non-binding) Paris accords. The international AGW agreements were never anything more than a vehicle to economically reign in the US. Let the agreements die.
Excellent. Sounds like you could write some good articles. Consider American Thinker. Editor@AmericanThinker.com or BarbWire. Or as here, Fairfax Free Citizen (which has the virtue of being in the outskirts of Washington DC)
Increased CO2 causes temperatures to rise. Increased temperatures cause water to evaporate faster. As water evaporates it rises to the upper atmosphere, where it is extremely cold. Hot water vapor meets cold air resulting in rain and snow. Rain and snow depress temperatures. Meanwhile, trees are consuming CO2 through photosynthesis.
And nature keeps the cycle going. Man, in his egotistical ignorance, thinks that his feeble attempts will overcome nature. What a crock.
From the 1841 book "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds":
Every age has its peculiar folly: Some scheme, project, or fantasy into which it plunges, spurred on by the love of gain, the necessity of excitement, or the force of imitation.
And:
Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.
When I went to college, there were many Vietnamese students that I befriended. One day we were discussing communism. They, all of them, peppered me with their stories.
The gist is that the communists would come into their village or towns and extol the virtues of communism. One villager would say, I need a job. The commies would say that everyone gets a job with communism. Another villager would say there are criminals down the street. The commies would say that crime will be wiped out. Another villager would say I want to go to school and be a doctor. Answer: everyone gets educated with communism.
Whatever the societal or personal ill, communism will fix it. Substitute the word communism with socialism here.
What the commies did not tell them is the jobless one will be drafted into the army for there endless war machine; the communists will take this army and arrest anyone in the village with a criminal history and anyone suspected of criminal activity, never to be seen again; and the uneducated one gets to go to school and be a teacher where the commies tell him to teach, because the revolution needs teachers, not doctors. And so on.
