A group of 50 anti-oil pipeline
and oil sands activists showed up in Calgary in a snow storm to protest man-made
global warming. I love it when God sends
a snow or ice storm every time these scare mongers gather. One of the
participants was quoted as saying, “We’re seeing the effects of global warming
and we can’t keep denying it because obviously something is happening.” (Renato
Gandia, Calgary Sun, November 16, 2013)
I agree that something is happening;
our climate is changing every day and has been changing for millions of years
alternating between seasons, mini ice ages, severe ice ages, and very warm
periods. And it had nothing to do with human activity on the planet.
The sun flares and oceanic
currents are important variables accountable for seasonal or unusual weather
events but are conveniently left out from the alarmists’ talking points.
Global warming alarmists
even use dead people to propagandize climate change. The journal Nature printed
an article, “Did climate change cause typhoon Haiyan?” while at the same time
indicating in a sub-heading that “there is limited evidence that warming oceans
could make super storms more likely.”
The global warming crowd,
particularly those who gain financially from advancing this notion, tried to
blame hurricane Sandy on global warming even though it was caused by “a clash
of three separate weather systems over a heavily populated area.” (Lord
Monckton, Exploiting the dead to hype climate change, November 2013)
IPCC’s 2012 “Special Report
on Extreme Weather,” which found scarce connection between warmer weather and worsening
storms, stated that there were “no significant observed trends in global
tropical cyclone frequency over past century.” http://www.wnd.com/2013/11/exploiting-the-dead-to-hype-clcimate-change/#Eojk87AOVrWz9C6.99
The sad truth is that most
scientific findings are well within the range of normal variability of climate.
Yet it did not stop the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
to release for review a 29-page summary to member governments.
Chris Field, co-chair of
the group writing the report said, “We see a wide range of impacts that have
already occurred… on people, ecosystems and economies. Looking into the future,
we see increasing risks that are more pervasive and more severe with greater
amounts of climate change.”
IPCC sees a planet in
peril due to buildup of greenhouse gases, the nutrient for plant life, and
glaciers shrinking; plants and animals will be extinct; marine life will move
to the poles; seawater will be more acidic; by 2100 hundreds of millions of
people in coastal areas will be flooded and displaced by rising sea levels;
arid subtropics will have less fresh water; the global food supply will be at
risk; wheat, corn, rice reduced by as much as 2 percent; and extreme heat
waves, deadly in urban areas.
If we look at the gloom
and doom predictions of the last 50 years, we should have already been flooded,
frozen, or burned to death, depending on which “scientific” prediction you read.
Never mind that genetically modified
organisms and the use of crops for biofuels as dictated by government agencies
will affect our food supply more in the future.
It does not matter to the
global warming crowd that the ice surface at the polar caps has grown this year
by 60 percent. It does not matter that temperatures have cooled for the last 16
years around the globe. These are people who cannot accurately predict weather
from day to day much less climate 100 years from now. http://www.ecnmag.com/blogs/2013/09/has-global-cooling-begun-arctic-ice-caps-grow-60-year
Reuters reported on
November 11, 2013 that IPCC revised their numbers on greenhouse gas emissions.
IPCC said the world “emitted half of the estimated 1 trillion tons of carbon
seen as the maximum allowed to keep temperatures within safe limits.” It did
not say how the author made such gross miscalculations. (Alister Doyle)
Meanwhile, the Global
Climate and Health Alliance held its 2013 Climate and Health Summit in Warsaw,
Poland on November 16. Some of the topics presented included:
-
Expanding renewable
electricity via the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for “climate finance flows from
industrialized to developing countries” because many developing countries do
not have Renewable Energy Feed-in Tariffs (REFIT). This is of course, more
redistribution of wealth from the west to the rest of the world in order to
satisfy the environmentalist agenda.
-
An environmentalist
from Ecuador introduced the notion of “biotic
carbon” from living things and “fossil
carbon” from things which have died. “Carbon from biotic pools is
acceptable because carbon dioxide emanating from the forest or other ecosystem
destruction can be compensated by planting trees but carbon dioxide released
from burning fossil fuels is not acceptable. Really? Trees and plants can
actually discern where the CO2 is coming from and thus only use CO2 released by
living things?
-
World leaders
should have “commodified carbon” because “the on-going Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) indicated anthropogenic climate change is as good as irrefutable,” said Felix von Geyer, sustainable
development journalist. I had no idea
that “as good as irrefutable” constituted proper scientific evidence of global
warming.
-
Non-profits believe
GDP to be a poor measure of economic well-being; instead Genuine Progress
Indicator (GPI) should be used, accounting for social factors and environmental
costs. Apparently, “our ecological footprint began in 1978 to exceed the
capacity to produce resources and absorb waste.” How the non-profit author
arrived at this pronouncement is not clear. She suggested the phasing out of
energy sources such as fossil fuels and radioactive fuels and replacing them
with renewable energy.
-
Micro-hydro installations
in Africa to provide energy when connection to the grid is not feasible
-
The burning of
coal causes climate change and it pollutes the air we breathe, affecting hearts
and lungs
-
IPCC found that “the
burning of fossil fuels is the main reason behind a 40 percent increase in CO2
concentration since the industrial revolution.” It is unclear how they
determined this with such definite accuracy.
-
The fact that the
public and private sectors, from national to local governments, from companies
and business associations to communities have jumped on the global
warming/climate change bandwagon to adopt widespread policies and implement
plans to adapt to climate change is NOT convincing evidence that climate change
is man-made – it is just evidence that lobbying with taxpayer dollars and dollars
from rich donors, fooling low information people into believing false
narratives has been quite aggressive.
-
“Rapidly growing
slums could be the key to sustainable urban energy system transformation,” said
Mukesh Gupta.
-
The youth
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) were indoctrinated into the UN Agenda 21’s
“intergenerational equity,” socialist redistributive wealth under the guise of
protecting the planet from man-made destruction. http://www.stakeholderforum.org/sf/outreach/index.php/component/content/article/184-cop-19-day-2/1560-reflection-from-cop-19-monday-11th-november
