Don’t mess with mother nature. And, we ain’t in control either.
This is almost as scary as the 2008 prediction that the Arctic would be permanently free of ice by 2014. Quick! Let’s destroy our economy to save the planet!
What is the current amount of CO2 in our atmosphere according to environmental groups?
Can we agree it's at about 380-400 ppm, (parts per million)? Now let's examine the total make-up of the atmosphere:
Earth's atmosphere is made-up of:
78% Nitrogen
21% Oxygen
1% trace gasses including methane and greenhouse gasses, most of which is water vapor, (which includes CO2)
So, 400 ppm of CO2 is part of that 1%, or 0.04% (4/100) of ONE percent of the atmosphere.
This minute amount is in no way a pollutant and propagating it as such isn't science, it's science fiction!
This “heat-trapping carbon dioxide” has saved us from THE COMING ICE AGE of the 1970s!
From POPULAR SCIENCE, Feb 1980..

Changing the weather intentionally or otherwise weather modification..(Earth cooling vs Greenhouse effect)
“Do you suppose we can learn enough, soon enough, to pull off a balancing act with the CO2 blanket saving us from another ice age?”
AND WE DID IT!
Oh by the way, this has been one of the coolest springs I can ever remember. It is June 5 and I have not had to put the AC on yet.
Back in 1972, we had 102 degrees on April 12.
Can this be both absurd and stupid or absurdly stupid?
There has been no measurable warming of the Earth for the last 8 years according to professionals who do the measurements as opposed the political and Media hacks who just lie with impunity to push a false narrative
ALL part of the Earth's SELF_SUSTAING SYSTEM which has been in place and active for THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of YEARS!
"If it ain't broke DON"T FIX IT!"
IOW, the world is coming out of the CO2 drought.
Dunno. It has unusually cool this spring and now into almost summer.
The warming alarmists exempt them from the warming regulation.
A warmer earth is a more productive earth.
but there has been NO warming in over 8 years, see NASA
They told me global cooling would kill me.
Then they said global warming would do the job.
Then it was climate change.
Then it was climate.
Now it is global warming again?
These clowns can’t keep their lies straight.
ALL part of the Earth's SELF_SUSTAINING SYSTEM which has been in place and active for THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of YEARS!

1) Is the amount of CO2 going up to record highs? Yep, the very tiny portion of the atmosphere that is CO2 is increasing.
2) Does more CO2 mean more warming? There is a direct effect of CO2 in trapping heat radiation from escaping back to space. It is in a very narrow band that is already pretty much all trapped by water vapor though so the effect is very tiny. So in theory there is some warming effect but with all the other stuff going on its not significant.
3) Has the Earth been warming in an alarming way during time CO2 has been increasing? No. Temp records have been adjusted to make it look like there is a correlation, but they are BS adjustments. In the raw data there is no warming.
