THE GREATEST GLOBAL CON OF ALL TIME

Yes i'm back on one of my favourite topics, man-made global warming. The universities and colleges all over the world TEACH us that CO2 does NOT increase global temperatures. So why does the media tell the rest of joe public that OOHH we are ruining the world!!! ohhh we're creating our own armageddon!!!!

Well there was a programme on last night on channel 4 (U.K.(the great global warming swindle)) that was giving my view, and more importantly the FACTS about global warming. Theres no doubt the earth is getting warmer, but its been warming up and getting colder for millions of years and theres solid proof of that, in the form of ice cores, and the sea. The earth was much warmer than it is now about 10, 000 years ago, and the polar bears survived that, they are very adaptable. So then, why are the one track minded environmentalists jumping up and down trying to save them?!?!

Now, evidence has shown (and you can access this data from the nasa website) that CO2 is not increasing global temperatures, infact the opposite is true. The rise in global temperatures is leading to CO2 increase. As the temperature increases the oceans heat up and realease the CO2 into the atmosphere, and when the temperature cools down CO2 decrease, as the oceans take in CO2. These are net movements, obviously CO2 is going in and out of the oceans all the time. (and the oceans contain more CO2 than we can fathom). Believe it or not the worst greenhouse gas is WATER VAPOUR because it reflects heat back down to the earth. Less than 5% of greenhouse gases are CH4(methane) CO2 and less so these days-sulphur oxides(SO2, SO3 etc).

The CO2 that HUMANS produce every year is about 6 gigatonnes, the volcaonoes alone produce 8 gigtonnes, and the other animals on earth account for about 10 gigtonnes and then when the oceans come into it- well the figures are off the chart. The crooks of it are that humans produce less than 0.9% of the total CO2 going into the atmosphere. You and I are made of CO2 its an organic gas used by countless organisms, why are so many people afraid of it! Well i give something to the environmentalists(but im going to take it straight back again!) CO2 is denser than O2 and would therefore sink below the O2 and suffocate us. Well done envirnmentalists!!! Only PROBLEM that there isn't nearly enough CO2 in the atmosphere for that to happen!!

Well i've talked about why CO2 has increased well what about WHY THE EARTH IS WARMING in the first place. Well like i said the earth has been getting hot and cold for ageslike the ices ages! But seriously now, the good old astronamers have been looking and counting sun-spots for as long telescopes, and spyglasses have been around-there are various techniques to do this without burning your eyes, but i wont go into them, you can google it if you want. But the crunch is that when they counted more sunspots, the temperature was higher, and these days we can accurately see sunspots and the size of them, and the correlation is still there. So it makes sense that the celestial body that gives us any heat at all is responsible for global warming! isnt it environmentalists?! Well...
The yellow spots you can see are sun spots.

In 1940 the global temperature was going down and meterologists predicted an ice age, it then started going up in 1975. WHY??? well in 1940 industrialization reached a peak so CO2(by humans) was at a peak, well going on the media's hype then the temperature should have been going up at this time, but it wasn't. In 1975 the cleanup of emissions was in full swing and CO2 levels (by humans) were going down, so why was the temperature increasing. Well durin 1940-1975 the sunspot count was low, during 1975 to the present sunspot counts are high, so temperatures are increasing. Increased sunspots also decrease cloud formation, i wont go into that because frankly you will get BORED(if your not already), but for any one who wud like to know you can always google it or even better ask me!

There is a time lag associated with the CO2 increase-like i said CO2 increases because the oceans temperature increases. Well to heat up the oceans takes a while, so 800 years of time lag is associated with a temperature increase, and beacuase of this, we can delve into the past world temperatures. If anyone wants to look at the graph of CO2 against Temperature increase then its on the NASA website, and you can decide for yourselves, but there is a clear time lag that shows temperature is leading CO2. And now yes im talking to YOU, FRIENDS OF THE EARTH! The POLAR ICE CAPS are not getting smaller. You see peices falling off on the TV, but the ice caps get smaller and bigger all the time, there is a sped up shot of the ice caps taken by satelites showing the ice gettins bigger and smaller, also on the NASA website. And the MAIN POINT is that this climate change lark has been going on for millions of year-ice cores prove it!!




ANd FINALLY!! phew!! why do people wnt to say global warming is manmade?!?! Well maggie thatcher took the harmfull sulphur emmissions too far (sulphur oxides are TOXIC to us, unlike CO2) and she said that nuclear power stations produce no emissions and they were the way forward, so she paid a team of scientists to study the effects of CO2 on the climate. They were paid by the government, and 2 scientists (with help of THREATING a LAW SUIT) withdrew their names from the report-and therefore-didnt get paid. They withdrew beacause the report contained missinformation, and not the exact words that the scientists used. Theres a lot of money to be made here, like the carbon trust, they get donations, they are a company making money aren't they? Climate change is a load of crap, the climate has been changing for a long time and nothing we do is gonna change that!!

Please, if you have any QUESTIONS or have a repost against my argument, please COMMENT it and i will do my best to FIGHT my case, BE WARNED i study Chemistry, biology, and Geography. And i read around the subjects and i have to say im rather GOOD at them if i do say so myself!

This isn't really a response to your post, but in An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore deals with the historical variations in tempeture and demonstrates, beyond any possibility of debate, that the warming we have experienced since the beginning of the 20th century is entirely without precedent. I hope you have the chance to see it.

iPandah said...

Wow! Your blog is awesome!!! I'm going to read it all! I'm guessing the above poster didn't see the programme, and how they disproved ALL of Al Gore's point by demonstrating his manipulated version of events! Never mind, at least we know the truth! iP

Jingo said...

I saw the programme, and it provided some fair arguments, but I wouldn't be drawn into it.

Technically, we're still in an ice age and the Earth does go through cycles but the argument of whether or not the global warming is caused by us is irrelevant.

At the end of the day, it's happening. And it doesn't matter if we are responsible or not, it will have a negative effect on the Earth so it's up to solve it. Saying it wasn't us may make us feel better but won't change anything.

Oh, and some of the "facts" were debateable. Despite all this information, there is a lot about global climates we don't understand.

I'll take your challenge to a riposte Ash. If only to counter Ipandah seeming to simply repost your sentiments!

My girlfriend's dad was talking about that program. I didn't watch it but it seemed quite convincing — he is Irish though! (That wasn't racist, right?! Just a bit of amiable faux jingoism, to quote the [original] name of your last commenter!)

I read in the Guardian that one of the scientists on the program was, allegedly, dramatically misquoted though. I would like to draw everyone's attention to this graph from Wikipedia though:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1c/Carbon_Dioxide_400kyr.png

Just because humans only account for a small percentage of CO2 emissions doesn't mean that that small percentage doesn't have relatively huge consequences though.

I hate to quote my granddad, but he, being very technically-minded, made a suprisingly good point. I'm sure there is an explanation for it though. Ice has a greater mass than water, which can be evidenced by freezing a bottle of water. And, as we all know, most of an iceberg is underwater. So if the icebergs melt one would think that sea levels would consequently lower. But, like I said, I'm sure there's a good reason why the scientists are right!

I seriously hope you don't suffer from a Thatcher fetish though Ash!

I would agree that climate change has been occurring as long as there has been a climate though. Maybe it will wipe out the human race — and maybe that isn't such a bad thing! I believe that the human race is going to become extinct soon; probability tells us it's going to happen. Even if we do destroy ourselves we can't blame ourselves; we can't help being ignorant. I just thought I'd lighten the tone of the post with my own brand of nihilism!

The Usual Stuff said...

I must say that I disagreee with the point of it not being at least partially our fault, while I agree with jingoistic on the fact that it is about to be a huge catastrophe and something should be done at once, not only for the animals but for entire humanity, who is already suffering the effects with all the floods and droughts.

hi all- thought id give you my two cents worth.....

i think a big part of the problem is media and the availability of all this information, or indeed misinformation. is it even possible to come to an informed decision as a member of the public, without conducting your own experiments and getting your own results!?

regardless of the effects or the causes- it seems that the western governments are now fastening their belts and stowing their lugauge on the band wagon......they shall now commence spending our money on the issue, righlt or wrongly, required or needless
