There are about 11 or 12 years left before the planet is destroyed by CO2 according to the climate change doomsters.
In fact, there are several very real threats to the existence of human life on Earth.
None of which have anything to do with CO2 or human activity related to climate.
Here are just three actual threats:
One is an asteroid striking the Earth. There have been several near misses in the last 100 years and we happen to be located near an asteroid belt.
That means the possibility of a direct hit is very strong. And we’re long overdue for an extinction-level event.
Another existential threat is disease. Already, pandemics have wiped out major percentages of the human population.
In 1347, the Bubonic plague (a bacterial infection) struck Europe and Asia, killing about one-third of the population.
In 1918, a virulent flu virus killed up to 100 million people and sickened many more. This existential threat is not eliminated by “modern” medicine, and the Wuhan coronavirus epidemic is an example.
Far from being protected from pandemics by modern society and technology, the infrastructure for a pandemic has become worse. A virus can quickly travel around our connected world.
In addition, compact human populations in urban centers, transportation systems, workplaces, and so on mean greater opportunity for a virus that is transmissible from person to person.
As of press time, some 500,000 people in China were infected with the coronavirus. The infected group doubles every 6.4 days. Do that math.
This is disturbing because these are in fact not numbers, they are people. Living in fear, suffering terribly from the disease, with many dying. It’s a true catastrophe and tragedy.
Contrast this to the CO2 deception, and it’s clear the fraud has to be stopped.
A third example of actual threats is nuclear war. Nuclear-weapon technology is spreading everywhere and will soon be in the hands of apocalyptic regimes such as Iran. The possibility of nuclear conflict increases.
Destruction from nuclear conflict would go beyond the actual damage from the blast, heat, radiation, and shockwaves.
Soot and other burned particles blown into the stratosphere would create something called a nuclear winter. Dark clouds of solid pollutants could cover the Earth, blocking out the sun.
Temperatures could plummet and plants (food crops) would wither from a lack of sunlight and frigid soil. Human life could be extinct in a single generation.
With all these real threats facing the planet, over $100 billion in research and various climate programs is being spent yearly on programs to demonize CO2.
A molecule that has zero effect on climate and is beneficial to life on Earth, particularly plant life. Resources should be used to combat real threats, not imaginary ones.
This misallocation of resources is going on because the climate change movement has nothing to do with climate.
It’s a political and financial power grab based on sowing panic and chaos about something that does not exist. As a result, resources that could be used to avoid or mitigate actual existential threats to our planet are being spent on witch hunts.
Organizations funded by climate billionaires fuel the fraud and divert resources from where it’s needed to where it’s not.
Let’s dispense with the climate fraud quickly: About 3% of the atmosphere is composed of greenhouse gasses. Of the greenhouse gasses, about 3% is CO2. And of the total CO2 produced every year on Earth, only about 2% is the result of human activity.
The rest comes largely from microorganisms, which produce nine times as much CO2 as all human activity combined. If human activity ended, as proposed by activists like Greta Thunberg and Ocasio-Cortez, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere would remain basically the same.
In addition, in terms of physics, the CO2 molecules can hold heat for only 0.0001 of a second, making it impossible to act as a factor in measurable greenhouse warming effects.
It would, therefore, be fair for any reasonable person to make the argument that those involved in the man-made global warming fraud are knowingly or unknowing destroying the planet by wasting needed time and resources on a non-existent threat.
For those interested in getting themselves or their loved ones free from the global warming fraud, get the new book ICE AGE 2025: HOW TO PREPARE AMERICA AND YOUR FAMILY by Joel Glass.
Pandemics have killed millions and future ones could be worse, though this isn’t likely. However, one thing that all pandemics have in common is that our civilization survives.
Nuclear winter was invented by Carl Sagan in an effort to force nuclear disbarment. Like climate change it was politically motivated junk science. Meteorologist did the calculations and a full nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union would not have stirred up enough debris to cause a nuclear winter. Any nuclear war that we might see in the future would be much smaller. Such a war is still very undesirable, but one thing we don’t have to worry about is a nuclear winter.
Hold on here.
Nobody is more anti-Global Warming mania than I am. I am fully committed to stoping the climate-crisis campaign in any way that I can.
But I really have to take issue with the 3 Threats to Earth you cite, because these claims represent fear-mongering on an equal though opposite scale. The only one of these which stands to come within the likelihood of occurence in the next century is the disease aspect; however the coronavirus is probably not the one to worry about.
The idea that an asteroid impact can not actually destroy earth but certainly cause global hardship on our civilization is an area of study for me over the past two decades. You cite that the fact that we live near an asteroid belt as an illustration of the threat, but this asteroid belt is not where the next killer meteor will arise. There are thousands of sizable near-Earth asteroids which orbit the sun and come across Earth’s orbit, on the order of about one per day, so asking us to worry about the asteroid belt shows me a lack of understanding and an attempt to grasp at straws to fight the global warming faction. We can rely on better claims than this.
Global warming is just plain stupid. Climate changes all the time, as in it varies for any of several natural reasons and humans have no impact on these forces. Let’s stick to real facts and valid claims to keep the climate crisis nut-jobs out of our way.
I think the author was pointing out that those three examples are REAL threats, even if they are highly unlikely. If you’re going to spend $100’s of billions on a threat that has no chance of EVER manifesting, why not spend it on a threat that actually has odds of happening Currently, the odds of the Apophis asteroid striking the Earth on it’s next pass in 2036 is about 1 in 250,000, as compared to a 1 in never for the Earth becoming uninhabitable due to man-made CO2.
What about EMP’s? I haven’t heard anything about an improvement to the security of our grids, and I’m sure our enemies would love to take revenge on us in such a way.
If the mythical so-called ” Greenhouse Effect ”
were a fact, then all that the alarmists would have to do is
parade out the
THERMAL INFRARED SPECTROGRAHIC
data that would conclusively prove their hypothesis.
THAT’S ALL THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO !!
They have not done this AND
They will not do this
BECAUSE
Thermal Infrared Spectrography
conclusively
PRIOVES THEM WRONG !
What ever happened with the Killer African Bees we were hearing so much about in the 1970’s? I do remember all this Killer Bees stuff and they made movies like The Swarm We hear no more about Killer Bees
