The “Green New Deal” is built on several hoaxes. First - that carbon dioxide is a pollutant that threatens the quality of life on Planet Earth. Fact: Life on earth is indivisible from the presence of carbon dioxide. Period. End of story.
The second hoax is that mankind can do anything even slightly perceptible in regards to the concentration of carbon dioxide in earth’s atmosphere. The natural processes of nature preclude any variation in the concentration of carbon dioxide beyond a relatively narrow window, as these natural processes produce VASTLY far more CO2 than all the “fossil fuel” furnaces ever built by man, even if stoked up and running flat out at the max and all simultaneously. One good vent from a volcano achieves this all by itself, let alone rotting vegetation and other organic material, or lightning-strike fires raging through old-growth forests or grasslands.
Carbon dioxide is being reabsorbed and “fixed” as some form of carbohydrate through the life process of sunlight shining on green growing plants in the presence of sufficient moisture and warmth, in what is a relatively narrow band of optimal activity between just above the freezing point of water and about 90 degrees on the Fahrenheit temperature scale.
The third part of the hoaxes being imposed is that carbon dioxide affects in any way imaginable the average daily temperature of the biosphere of the planet. The great regulator here is a much different component of the atmosphere, and one that is HIGHLY variable, water vapor, a most wondrous compound which can simultaneously exist ins three different states of matter, as a solid, as a liquid, and as a gas, depending on the amount of latent heat energy the compound contains at the moment. Water vapor has approximately the same index of heat absorption as carbon dioxide, with one very important difference, or perhaps two important differences. There is anywhere from 30 to 100 times the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere at any given time, as there is of carbon dioxide. thus far more heat energy shall be absorbed by water vapor than ever could be by carbon dioxide.
A second great difference is that water vapor, on a molecular basis is much lighter than carbon dioxide, and thus, far more likely to RISE to heights in the atmosphere than CO2 ever could. When you look high in the skies and see a jet-propelled aircraft at 35,000 feet leaving a condensation trail across the sky, that trail is composed ENTIRELY of water vapor. As the CO2 from the exhaust cools, is sinks rapidly from the stratosphere to a level within about a couple of miles above the sea level in the atmosphere, and does not rise above what is known as the “tree line” on mountain ranges, and at very high altitudes, virtually no vegetation at all exists.
Other clouds form from water vapor, and those at very high altitudes are composed of very fine ice crystals, the solid form of water. To change from vapor form to ice, the molecules of water have to give up an ENORMOUS quantity of heat, you can look this up in textbooks, but trust me, it is BIG. This heat has to go somewhere, and as the earth turns away from the sun, it is radiated off into space, from the night sky. By dawn, the heat balance on that side of the world is depleted, and the now much cooler atmosphere causes changes in the average density of the entire atmosphere, which is equalized by air currents moving from one point to another, creating weather as we know it. This very majestic daily energy shift is what makes all the other earthly processes repeat endlessly, and is far more powerful, in the total sum, than any small disturbances mankind shall ever be able to institute.
