“The climate is changing, faster than we thought – and humans have caused it. Last night, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the most comprehensive report on climate change ever – with hundreds of scientists taking part.” –from the Radio NZ webpage today
There was a time when like most people I believed this, but after the spectacular failure of the doomsday predictions made by Al Gore in his infamous An Inconvienient Truth science fiction (but presented as fact) movie from 2006 to eventuate, I began to have doubts. And the more counter-information and data I read from reliable scientists who had been silenced by the powerful Globalists, the more doubts I had, to the point where I am now sure it’s a gigantic hoax.
To be clear, climate change is real, but it’s part of a natural process that has occured for milennia and people have had almost nothing to do with what we’re experiencing — except, in fact, to mitigate any global warming: the more particulate matter there is in the atmosphere, the lower temperatures should get. That has been well demonstrated by big volcanic eruptions over the centuries.
That doesn’t mean there aren’t toxic compounds in what gets emitted from petrol and diesel engined vehicle exhausts and from fossil fuel-fed electric power stations, as there are — and the more that these emissions can be reduced the better.
But there’s clearly a political Agenda involved in all the UN-organised alarmist disinformation, and not a good one.
A little earlier this year we ran a series of well-researched articles by Ian Bradford analysing and refuting the various allegations. We’ll turn this series into a free e-book shortly for readers to share widely.
The statement that humans have never experienced temperatures such as those currently observed is rubbish, utter blithering rubbish. Quite obviously, as all but a blind cretin, or a NZ Labour/Green politician, should know, the Vikings farmed in Greenland a thousand years ago. They cannot do that in the current climate. A thousand years earlier the Romans drove elephants across the Alps. Today that proposition is laughable. The climatic post glacial maximum was about seven thousand years ago. Modern humans were certainly around then. Around a thousand years ago polynesians paddled their canoes to South America and collected kumara there. They stopped paddling their canoes around the Pacific when the climate cooled into the Little Ice Age. They have not re-commenced. Perhaps it is not warm enough! Climatic warming implies that the high latitudes warm more than the low latitudes. That means that the temperature gradients, equator to pole, are reduced. It is the temperature differences that drive the weather, storms etc. Warming means climate moderation, calm seas and no storms to overturn the polynesian canoe. That is why we can eat the kumara today. The plant family which includes the kumara is South American in origin. I just wonder why the early polynesians did not bring the tomato and chilli westwards. Had they done so polynesian food might be a bit more interesting.
