… or The Story of CO₂ – The Gas of Life

Did you know that CO₂ is also known as THE GAS OF LIFE? In fact, if it wasn’t for CO₂’s remarkable role in the Cycle of Life on Earth, I wouldn’t be writing this, and you wouldn’t be reading it. Quite simply because we wouldn’t exist. Yet, every day we have the same monstrous Big Lie being served up. And setting Science aside, which defines Climate as consistent changes in Weather over a 25 or 30 year period, we are told that every storm is due to “Man Made Global Warming” / “Man Made Climate Change”. We must have more of that “Man Made” stuff, because as a matter of fact, we have had fewer storms and severe storms in the last part of the 20th and into the 21st Century.

Global Warming, or the more hedged bet “Man Made Climate Change“, we are told, is very difficult to understand.

“But if they know that we know what they know, they might even pipe up and stop trying to fill our heads with Lies and Fear to feather their own pockets, holding Power over us, because holding Power over Energy in a Modern Society, is holding Power over the People.

It is not.
Climate Change is not difficult to understand.
Climate change is not difficult to understand at all.
Yet the experts which wouldn’t really be “experts” if we knew what they know claim that their area of “expertise” is very difficult to understand.
But if they know that we know what they know, they might even pipe up and stop trying to fill our heads with Lies and Fear to feather their own pockets, holding Power over us, because holding Power over Energy in a Modern Society, is holding Power over the People.

The REAL Experts presenting REAL Science are practically all retired. The Marxist hounding and destroying of careers can’t hurt you when you’re retired. But if you’re in the business of Climate “science”, you had better tow the Politically Correct Party Line, or else…!

So, let us give it a go. Let us get the big picture clear, and next time someone

• threatens a new Tax on “carbon” (the completely unscientific term for CO₂),
• bans you from doing something because it releases CO₂ or
• forces you to buy a product you don’t like or perhaps don’t even need because it’s “Zero Emission” or “Carbon Neutral“,

— — — WE ALL KNOW BETTER!!!

Yes, when you start studying the Physics and Chemistry behind it, it can be complicated. But it isn’t even nearly in the same league as General Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, Cosmology and the monumental struggle for a Unified Theory. In those fields of Physics and Theoretical Physics, one is allowed to doubt, to ponder, to discuss and even to guess, without any Cancel Culture repercussions. At least not yet…

In Climate Science, things are infinitely more finite. And luckily, the main principles are so easy to understand, you can explain it to most 5th graders and they would understand it perfectly.

And understanding how the sun is driving our climate, how we are being defrauded by evil, greedy, power-hungry people and how dangerous this Pseudo-Scientific Fraud is for our Health and Life Sciences, will turn out to be the pivot point of our survival as Free, Truly Liberal, Open, Self-Governing Societies.

I Started Out Just Like You…

I started out just like you: Several decades back I probably knew less about Climate than you do right now at this very moment. The reason why I can speak with authority now is down to really hard work. You can easily become just as knowledgable as I am, or even more so. But you do not have to spend decades to get there, pour over books on Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry.

All you have to do, is decide that you will gain the knowledge. That’s it. It is as simple as that. And this Article is a great Flying Start for you, even if I do say so myself.

But why would you spend any time at all learning that all you have been told by the UN, the EU, Media and their Chinese Communist Sponsors is ONE BIG LIE?

Well, take a look around you.
What do you see?
You see…

THE GREAT RESET!

That’s a fancy term for a World-Wide Mass Murdering Marxist Revolution.
And one way the Commies/Fascists/Nazis of today have become filthy rich and powerful, is by trying to dupe you and me into thinking that “science” shows us that we are responsible for everything that is bad in the world. And if we don’t give the Commies all our money NOW, tomorrow in 12 years 13 days 2 hours 6 minutes and 36 seconds the Earth will burn with us and all the starving children in Africa to a crisp.

You and I — we are not so easily duped. But most other people are because “science and sh*t“, as they so eloquently put it whenever they want to impress with their ocean of “knowledge”.

That is the reason I decided to write you this article. I was fortunate to have a brilliant Swiss professor in Environmental Chemistry at university. Although I was working in Medical Biology at the time, I decided to take a course in Environmental Chemistry. My Professor followed the Science. REAL Science that is, wherever it took him. In other words; he was a REAL Scientists, and was a great inspiration to us young, bright things who brought our serious misconceptions, gained from watching Pseudo-Science “News” & Junk on TV, to his lectures and had them thoroughly challenged, analyzed and dismissed! In fact, he demonstrated through all the research that has been done throughout the decades that the worst news for the Environment is when Marxists decide to exploit it for their personal gain in Money & Power.

Up front I must inform you that Medical Biology and later Medicine became my fields of study, but I was a very active member in the Student’s Physics Association, and they had the most stimulating parties. Good food, good drink and very deep and challenging discussions. And we were often treated to lectures by bright Scientists who sometimes travelled surprisingly long distances and put in a lot of time, so that we could have a lecture with them, learn and afterwards share some more good meals, some good drink and magnificent conversations.

My problem right now is that I have material enough for a book. And the very hardest part of this entire article has been to pick the most important areas. Or, rather decide which of all the fascinating areas of Climate Science — REAL Climate Science — I would eliminate from this article.
The second big problem is to simplify it, so that anyone can pick it up, read it and understand it. If your exposure to Physics, Chemistry and Biology, I would lose you in two seconds flat if I started laying out formulas for radiative heating, convective overturning, high energy ionizing background radiation cloud formation etc.. Luckily, you do not need these formulas in order to understand the overarching principles. And when you understand these simple, basic principles you will have enough knowledge to both argue the case to most others and to make up your mind politically if this problem is worth throwing another $3,000,000,000,000 after the already around 3 Trillion badly spent dollars.

And I had to weigh in parts to include to counter the Propagandizing Media’s constant 24-7-365 Fear Porn. That does not always make for the most interesting topics from a Scientific point of view. But since that fraudulent, false and misleading Narrative is what Moronic, Lazy, Uninformed Politicians take for gospel and base actual Lawmaking on, with actual consequences for People’s Life, Health and Economy, it is nevertheless important to provide you with the Facts, the Science and the Arguments.

Another problem is that it is increasingly difficult winning People’s Hearts & Minds over.
First of all, if a Scientific Fact cannot be explained in 30 Seconds, people lose focus, starts fiddling with their phone to check recent Likes and Comments on Social Media.
And REAL Science, however simple you can break it down, usually takes more than 30 Seconds to explain. The Propagandists delivering the Latest Breaking News Each & Every Night on the “Carbon Apocalypse” don’t have to do right by Science.
All they need to do is to convince you that you have to slavishly follow their Political Doctrines, or else…
…and it is usually done by digging up a Marxist Professor / “Expert” somewhere, which isn’t at all hard. Then they plonk them in the TV Make-Up chair, polish them over and install them in the studio and tonight’s Monkey Moment of Mass Murdering Marxist Propagandists is set to go.

A few minutes later, people around you have had a top up on their perpetual fear level, and are more than ready to hand over all their money to the First Church of Future Carbon Salvation. None of us would like to be burnt to a crisp or drowned when the Great Flood buries New York under the rising ocean. Funny. Climate and Sea Rise is so considerate, it will never flood any of the so-called “Democrat” Czars Multi-Million Dollar Luxury Villas down by the beaches throughout the United States and Europe.

CO₂ is the GAS OF LIFE

CO₂ is literally THE GAS OF LIFE. Without this simple, beautiful and life-giving molecule, we wouldn’t be here.

Every second of every minute of every hour of every day 16,000 metric tonnes of new plant life is formed through the quantum “magic” of photosynthesis (go ahead and tell me there is no God…!)
Plants with the help of water as a solvent, photons from sunlight and

— THE GAS OF LIFE —
— CARBON DIOXIDE aka CO₂ —

contributes heavily to a staggering increase in biomass.
And the plants’ “waste” product?
Food for other life forms and Oxygen to breathe to burn ingested plant material.
It is the Circle of Life.
With the tiny exceptions of some extremophiles who use heat and chemicals from volcanic thermal vents on the deep sea floor to grow, using chemosynthesis, single cell organisms living in boiling hot and toxic ponds where there is thermal vents, to name a couple of exceptions, everything else in nature originates from the massive production of plant life through photosynthesis.

If all Human activity ceased to exist today, only 5% of all CO₂ in the atmosphere would disappear. And it would take at most five years for it all to disappear, which is the Residence Time of Atmospheric CO₂. The residence time for Near-Earth CO₂ is only 1 year.
The remaining 95% are entirely made by Nature herself, and there is nothing we could nor should do about any of this CO₂. It is all THE GAS OF LIFE. The most important Fertilizer on Earth.

It takes only a millionth of a millionth of a second for photons to find their way through the maze into the chlorophyl. Inside the maze the light particle behaves like a wave, “testing” which route is the right one to avoid bumping into obstacles. And it makes this test all at once.
It is so breathtakingly magnificent and effective to contemplate just this single fact, that it alone is enough to make me look at God’s work in absolute awe.

The light particle, which up until now has worked its way through the maze as a wave, now switches to become a light particle, a photon. The photon knocks an electron out in the middle of a chlorophyl molecule. This creates a tiny particle of energy called an exciton. The exciton spreads like a wave through the maze of chlorophyl molecules, testing which way is the right route all at once, until it reaches the Energy Center. That is the place where its energy is used to drive the vital processes of life in creating new molecules. It is so effective that it pitches the most high tech human solar panels to utter shame.

Article continues below this interactive model.

Alternative energy sources come at approximately 6 times the price of coal. In addition they pose a grave danger to the Natural Environment through extremely toxic Metallo-Organic Compounds. The mining of minerals for the “Red-Green Industrial Complex” is often done through Slave Labor and Child Slave Labor.

Calling Electric Vehicles “Green” is a Huge Lie.
To make 1 battery in for instance a Tesla, it takes at least mining, shifting and processing about 250 Metric Tonnes of rocks.
That entire process is dependent on Diesel Fuels to run all the machinery in this lengthy process. And finally, a used battery requires careful handling, as it is toxic.

CO₂ consists of one Carbon atom (C) and two Oxygen atoms (O) (see model above). The two Oxygen atoms (O₂) are exhaled by the plant, while the remaining Carbon atoms, with the help of the energy from the sunlight, are chained together into sugars, then to more complex molecules like chains that become starches, and for plants who wants to be rigid and stretch upwards to capture even more sunlight, they make the “scaffolding molecules” we know as cellulose and lignin.

If you’ve ever sat around a campfire, the heat that is released from the burning logs is Solar Energy. So is Natural Gas, Oil and Coal. The latter ones have been fossilized first, changing their chemical compositions, but the Energy retained in the molecules is Energy stored up from Ancient Sunlight. The initial heat that you have added to your bonfire in a match, a lighter or the thousands of years old kindling, starts a chain reaction. The chain reaction where these chains of carbon molecules starts reacting quickly with the Oxygen — O₂ — in the air to return the CO₂ that the logs in the fire had captured from the atmosphere with photosynthesis. Plants living now, both land based plants and the enormous biomass of algae in oceans and lakes capture the Carbon, grow and will eventually die, forming new distant future fossil fuels, or bind the CO₂ in giant Calcium Carbonate deposits.

What? The Future Causes The Past!?

Global Warming Alarmism, which falsely assumes that increasing Atmospheric CO₂ causes catastrophic global warming, is disproved – essentially, it assumes that the future is causing the past. In reality, Atmospheric CO₂ changes lag global temperature changes at all measured time scales. In that respect, it is true that Al Gore — The Guy Who Used To Be The Next President of the United States — As Expected — Puts The Cart Before The Ass.

• 🍏 First Sea Surface Temperature changes…
• 🍏 then tropical humidity changes…
• 🍏 then atmospheric temperature changes…
• 🍏 and then CO₂ concentrations changes!
  -Or rather; is released from the ocean like when you heat a bottle of carbonated beverage and it bubbles over.
  – – – – –
• 🍏 And it is driven almost exclusively by the Sun’s activity.

Plants love CO₂. It is the Food they are breathing. At the current levels plant life is starved because we are still coming out of the last Ice Age and the Atmospheric CO₂ levels are still extremely low. But the slow, intermittent warming of the Climate has released more and more CO₂, which bubbles out of the oceans and into the atmosphere just like a bottle of soda being warmed and loosing its fizz.

But the levels are still so low that it is normal for greenhouses to have CO₂ generators which crank up the level more than 10 times the level of CO₂ in the outdoor air to fertilize plant growth and also conserve water consumption.

But isn’t that much CO₂ dangerous?

Not in the slightest. Submariners, those brave men entrusted with Nuclear Weapons constantly work in environments with such levels. The same goes for astronauts. But somehow the University of Berkley, you know, the place where students and faculty torched a city whenever a Conservative speaker was allowed on campus, have “mysteriously” found that levels lower than those make you stupid. Incidentally they are so smart themselves that they saw no need for any more Conservative speakers on Campus and banned them. That’s the Marxist idea of open Scientific Discussion: Nazi Gleichschaltung…

Submariners’ safety is backed up by the publication from the National Academies of Science Emergency and Continuous Exposure Guidance Levels for Selected Submarine Contaminants which documents effects of CO2 at much much higher levels than the medical study, and shows regular safe exposure at these levels…

Data collected on nine nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines indicate an average CO2 concentration of 3,500 ppm with a range of 0 — 10,600 ppm, and data collected on 10 nuclear-powered attack submarines indicate an average CO2 concentration of 4,100 ppm with a range of 300-11,300 ppm (Hagar 2003). – page 46

The article from Berkeley Lab which made these claims, highlighted here, is but one of many pieces of Fear Porn literature, made to scare people into believing that CO₂ is a monster gas that must be eradicated from Earth. And to me it is a million times worse than the finger nails on the blackboard. It is like saying, Earth must be cleaned of dirt, not recognizing that there would be precious little plant life left without dirt.

If you have watched the movie ‘Apollo 13’ you probably remember the scene where the Apollo 13 crew had to take shelter in the LM, the Lunar Module after one of the Oxygen (Fuel-Oxidizer) Tanks on the Service Module blew up and made the Command Module uninhabitable.

Nasa writes about this problem:

The fix was not nearly as dramatic as it is portrayed in the movie. And it took only one NASA Engineer a few minutes to come up with the solution.

“According to the Observatory on Mauna Loa the predicted Atmospheric CO₂ concentration for 2022 is about 418 ppm.

According to the Observatory on Mauna Loa the predicted Atmospheric CO₂ concentration for 2022 is about 418 ppm. If we are to believe the media we are all about to burn up and choke. So, the astronauts on Apollo 13 must have been right around the same level, right?

After they plugged in the square Command Module filters in the LM with this little fix, CO₂ dropped from 14.9 mm Hg to 4.5 mm Hg.

14.9 mm Hg of CO₂ = 19,600 ppm

4.5 mm Hg of CO₂ = 5,900 ppm

So, the critical level of CO₂ in Apollo 13 was 19,600 ppm. That is 47 times more CO₂ than we see in our atmosphere. And the normal level in Apollo 13 of 5,900 ppm is 14 times more CO₂ than the starved level we have on Earth right now.

So, no. We are not at all going to choke on CO₂. At least not until it should reach 47 times higher level than what we have today, and that is probably millions of years in the future, if ever…

• Earth’s Atmospheric Level is per 2022 approximately 418 ppm.
• NASA’s Astronauts have no problem operating an extremely complex machine and problem solve when they are breathing air with 5,900 ppm CO₂. Maximum level on the International Space Station is now set at 5,250 ppm, over 12 times our near earth CO₂ level.
• Submariners, who have an equally demanding job, have no problem solving complex problems and operating an equally complex machine at 8,000 ppm CO₂; 19 times the atmospheric levels.

Yet, the once so prestigious Berkeley Lab now claims that we have problems in problem solving at 1,000 ppm, and severe problems in problem solving at 2,500 ppm… If this really was true, the ISS would have long since ceased to function as one of humanity’s most advanced and technically demanding laboratories, not to mention that it would have crashed and burnt.
And the seafloor should be littered with submarines, and every several months long mission would have ended in disaster shortly after leaving port.

I leave it up to my reader’s problem solving to figure out what my opinion might be about this type of “science” that the once so prestigious Berkeley Lab now is propagandizing.

Unfortunately, there have been several reported cases of children committing suicide because they think they will choke to death or burn up, courtesy of 24-7-365 Marxist Media Fear Porn and Marxist Indoctrination instead of Proper Education.

So, we have determined that humans have no problems whatsoever working and functioning at many, many times higher levels of CO₂ than what is found in our starved atmosphere.

But how is Plant Life doing? Since plants love CO₂ like we love Oxygen — O₂ — are they really happy with these extremely low, post Ice Age levels of CO₂? The answer is no. They would love some more fertilizer, and they are in fact given that in greenhouses which often have CO₂ generators installed, giving the plants the farmers grow the much needed boost in growth.

In the following few paragraphs we take a closer look at the importance of CO₂ for a greener Earth and Human Prosperity.

Can you see New York under water?
— Al Gore – Fear Porn’s Biggest Porn Star —

This is Al Gore’s claim in his 2006 propaganda film “An Inconvenient Truth” that made him filthy rich.

When it didn’t come true, he rewrote history, ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ Style. He gave another lie to cover up his first lie. And still the Millions kept rolling into his bank accounts.

What REAL Science Says About Al Gore’s Propaganda

MIT Professor Richard Lindzen is one of the most respected Climate Scientists and Meteorologists in the World. At age 83 (born Februar 8, 1940), he can look back at a Brilliant Career. And there is not much the Climate Fascists can do about his Career, because he has already had it.

He retired in 2013, leaving Building 54, Room 1410 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology behind. Nowadays he is certainly not resting on his laurels. He gives Interviews and Lectures, and he is still travelling the world to share his immense knowledge.

This is what MIT writes about Professor Lindzen, and bear with me, because this is slightly important, and I will explain why:

Why is this important? Because it shows that we are dealing with a real Heavyweight Champion in his field.

Too often do we hear criticism that we, the “Deniers” (a deliberate, disgusting Propaganda Trick, playing on the term “Holocaust Denier“) are not using Science, when the fact is that the only thing we do care about, is REAL SCIENCE, and not the Pseudo-Science Fiction that Comrade Gore and others dream up.

And admittedly it makes our message harder to sell, because it requires Time and a bit of Effort to understand. And often times, Time is a commodity a lot of Hardworking People are hard pressed to spend. And those sponging off Hardworking People are more likely to waste their Lives on Gaming or watching Movies and the 24-7-365 Fear Porn telling us that “THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED” and “IF WE DO NOT KILL OFF ALL WESTERN INDUSTRY AND LIFE (and implicitly of course preserve Communist China’s highly toxic industry) — WE WILL ALL DIE A GRUESOME DEATH.

So, you see, it can be challenging to get a sufficient audience to listen to Real Science, when you can’t simply turn on the TV, and there it is.

And with the impressive Career Professor Lindzen, they cannot just write him off as a “crackpot”.

What MIT has omitted from Professor Lindzen’s career, is that Professor Lindzen used to be a member of the UN’s infamous IPCC – Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change…

…until he exposed their Pseudo-Scientific Propaganda.

With Professor Lindzen as IPCC’s biggest Critic, they did not retain the services from one of the World’s most significant Climate Scientists. So much for the Free and Open Scientific Debate…
Before the release of the Third Assessment Report back in 2001 he said about the IPCC Process:

“It uses summaries to misrepresent what scientists say.
It uses language that means different things to scientists and laymen.
It exploits public ignorance over quantitative matters.
It exploits what scientists can agree on, while ignoring disagreements, to support the global warming agenda.
And it exaggerates scientific accuracy and certainty and the authority of undistinguished scientists.

He continued:

The entire Op-Ed titled Politics, not science, drives the United Nations’ work on climate change, warns Dr. Richard Lindzen, one of the world’s leading atmospheric physicists is worth a read.
It is over two decades too late to save the Trillions of Dollars that have been wasted, and is still being wasted, on a NON-PROBLEM.

BUT, it can still help us understand the scope of the FRAUD and that we can stop it before it is too late for us all.

This FRAUD is a fantastic Milch Cow for the Marxists and their dream of a Global Marxist Revolution. But if Americans and Europeans alike sack the Defrauding Politicians and Bureaucrats and boycott each and every Company milking their customers for their crazed “Carbon Slashing”, this tune can be changed very quickly!

Let’s leave our eminent Professor Lindzen here for the moment with this Brilliant Lecture that he gave last year in Germany. He does touch on very easily understandable points for the layman, but he also follows up with REAL Science. Even though I enjoyed it thoroughly, someone with less than an average interest for Science might not. But I believe this is a sober, proper Scientific exposé.

Sour Deal? Our Oceans Are The Sweet CO₂ “Breathers”

“Out of the tiny amounts of CO₂ in the atmosphere right now, 418 molecules per 1,000,000 molecules, there is no chance of any “acidification” of our Oceans. It’s pure Fiction & Fairytales. The Oceans are Alkaline. And microorganisms like Coccolithophores, that would not thrive in an acid ocean, are virtually exploding, multiplying 30 fold the past 30 years in the North Atlantic.

An alleged second order “Man Made Global Warming” Effect is Ocean Acidification.

The very claim is moronic. The pH scale goes from ph 0, which is a strong Acid like for instance pure Hydrochloric Acid. pH 7 is neutral like pure Water. At pH 14 we find pure Alkaline like for instance a pure, concentrated Sodium Hydroxide solution.

In the Third Assessment Report of the IPCC, AR3, they claimed that Ocean pH would drop from pH~8.2 to pH 7.8 with a doubling of Atmospheric CO₂…
…completely omitting the fact that the Ocean is a great Chemical Buffer, meaning the pH will hardly change at all when adding acidic or alkaline substances.
And, pH 7.8 is still not “acidic”. It is Alkaline — which any High School Chemistry Student will tell you. And slightly less Alkaline, is still Alkaline!

So, calling it “Ocean Acidification” is plain Fraud in regards to these basic Scientific Facts.

In AR4 the IPCC, as per usual, had to admit yet another Psudo-Scientific blunder. Overlooking plain Scientific Facts is somewhat of a tradition at the UN’s IPCC. In the new report they had taken buffering into account, and then suddenly pH would not reduce more than between pH 0.15 and pH 0.20.

“So, calling it “Ocean Acidification” is plain Fraud in regards to these basic Scientific Facts.

Calcifying Ocean Living Organisms like Corals, Pteropods and Coccoliths regulate their internal Calcification pH to withstand external pH. Otherwise they would have been extinct several times over these past 100+ Million Years, or indeed ever since they made their debut on our Precious Planet, Ocean pH has varied by an order of magnitude than today.

But still the IPCC omitted REAL Science in their Assessment Report, AR4. They omitted Natural Biological pH Variability. The Biological Photic Zone and the Seasonal Influence on this Zone in the Oceans change the observed ranges. For instance in the:

• 🍏 Barren Northern Pacific the seasonal variation is pH 0.1
• 🍏 Pacific Estuaries the seasonal variation is as much as pH 1.0 or more
• 🍏 Extreme of Florida Bay from the Everglades Estuary to Key West (a max of 90 miles) the Seasonal Variation is from pH 5.8 in the Mangrove Fringes in the Winter to pH 9.6 near Key West in the Summer!

So, what drives these extreme differences? The main factors are:

• 🍏 Rainfall, which is less in the Winter
• 🍏 Thallasia Seagrass Photosynthesis, which is greater in the Summer
• 🍏 Evaporation of Water, which leaves the Salt, in other words: Increased Salinity in the warmth of the Summer

If we were to believe the Fear Porn put out by the IPCC and ‘War Type Headlines’ in the media, the delicacy known as the Conch Snail should long since be dead. Yet it thrives in enormous numbers in the Florida Bay, Year Round, and all around the Bay.

Liars Of Distinction

“IPCC’s AR3 report fraudulently omitted the simplest fact about the Oceans: Buffering.

So, what do all those IPCC / Malignant Subversive Marxist Media fraudulent claims of “Ocean Acidification” boil down to?

Slightly less Alkaline is not Acidic. It is still Alkaline.

IPCC’s AR3 report fraudulently omitted the simplest fact about the Oceans: Buffering.
And the terror of “Ocean Acidification” was born, and Propagandized like there was no tomorrow. When AR4 took Buffering into account, it wasn’t Propagandized. It was hardly mentioned, and “Ocean Acidification” was stuck in People’s Memory. Because that is what this game is about. It is a question of changing People’s Belief.

The “Corals Bleaching and Dying” story that followed this gross Scientific Falsification was just adding more Propaganda Insult to Propaganda Injury, and has been proven to be wrong.

Rud Istvan writes in his book ‘Blowing Smoke’:
“[…] arguably ‘scientific misconduct’ papers promoted by the Seattle Times concerning Papua New Guinea coral reefs and Pacific Northwest Miyagi Oyster spawn. Both explained with footnotes in essay “Shell Games’ in ebook Blowing Smoke. The first misconduct was lethal H₂S in one of three volcanic seeps, the second misconduct was lethal spat upwelling water pH in a hatchery bay not also managed as a seasonal estuary.
[Emphasis added]

NOAA – The Pseudo-Scientific National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

But in spite of ignoring the most obvious Scientific Facts and “correcting” their long list of “Omissions” in reasonable silence in the next report, NOAA continues to propagate THE BIG LIE. When you go to NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, you find yet another one of a seemingly endless examples the Marxist Propagation of BIG LIES to The People.

The regressive Progressive Bureaucratic Administrative State spends The People’s Hard Earned Tax Dollars on Brainwashing and Propagating Monstrous Big Lies.

NOAA doesn’t only propagate their Climate Lies on their Main Home Page. Nope.

NOAA even spent good Tax Dollars to put up a Dedicated Page on THE BIG UNSCIENTIFIC LIE OF “OCEAN ACIDIFICATION”…

They seem to completely “forget” the large difference that Sea Water Temperature makes on on Pteropods’ Metabolism and thus their Shell Formation. It was discussed in the above mentioned paper, then they very conveniently ignored it.

I call that:

LYING BY OMISSION

Ocean ‘acidification’ danger is a canard to be fought at the highest levels. Oceans will never truly acidify. Organisms evolved for its varying seasonal pH variations continue to thrive everywhere.

The Organisms of the Oceans are perfectly evolved and adapted to cope with Seasonal pH Variations.
They are thriving everywhere.

Oceans are not acidifying.
• • •
Slightly more or slightly less Alkaline
is still Alkaline.
It has absolutely nothing to do with acids.

Have You Ever Seen The White Cliffs Of Dover?

The White Cliffs of Dover are a magnificent View, with great significance for the British People. Who doesn’t remember Vera Lynn’s classic War Time hit ‘The White Cliffs of Dover‘.

The famous White Cliffs of Dover stand guard at the Gateway to England. Millions pass through Dover each year on their journey to or from the continent. The White Cliffs are a symbol of the United Kingdom and a reassuring sight to travellers. The Cliffs have been immortalized in song, in literature and in art.

But as impressive as the visible part is, the entire plate of chalk, of which these cliffs are only a small part, is even more impressive for two reasons, one of which is directly, strongly connected with the “Man Made Climate Change” Fraud.

First, the Calcite Deposits that makes up the entire plate, The White Cliffs of Dover included, is even more impressive when you consider that it is all made by microorganisms called coccolithophorids. Coccolithophores are spherical cells about 5-100 micrometres across, enclosed by calcareous plates called Coccoliths, which are about 2-25 micrometres across. Each cell contains two brown chloroplasts which surround the nucleus. Enclosed in each coccosphere is a single cell with membrane bound organelles.

Let us put this into perspective. The Coccoliths are too small to be seen without a good microscope. This microorganism, only 0,0002 — 0,004 inches across has one on top of the other died and left their microscopic shells behind, as microscopic fossils, building The White Cliffs of Dover to a height of 110 meters (350 feet) above the sea level. On a clear day you can stand on top of the Cliffs and look over to France. The French coast at Cap Gris Nez is the continuous strata of chalk as on the British side.

Around 70 Million Years ago the Dover Area was submerged by a shallow sea. The sea bottom was made of a white mud formed from the fragments of Coccoliths, which were the Skeletons of tiny algae which floated in the surface waters of the sea. This mud was later to become the chalk. It is thought that the chalk was deposited very slowly, probably only 0.5 millimeter (0.02 inches) a year, equivalent to about 180 Coccoliths piled one on top of another. In spite of this, up to 500 metres (1,640 feet) of chalk were deposited in places.

Since the time of the Chalk Sea, the chalk has been lifted out of the water by movements of the Earth’s Crust. Most of the shaping of the beautiful chalk downlands stretching for 13 km (8 mi) we see today took place during the last Ice Age. The latter part of the Ice Age also saw the invasion of chalk by the English Channel. The consequence of this was that Britain became an island.

Second, what does all these fascinating facts of Biology, Geology and Earth’s History have to do with the Climate and the Atmosphere?

Everything! You see, the main component in the Coccoliths shell is Calcium Carbonate.
Calcium Carbonate — CaCO₃ — Consists of Calcium (Ca) from the Ocean and CO₂ dissolved in the Sea Water from the Atmosphere, picked up by the Coccoliths and built into their microscopic shells, ending up like beautiful chalk cliffs, like The White Cliffs of Dover.

• • •
And today, 70 Million Years or so later,
Coccoliths are still blooming and thriving in the Oceans.
• • •
The past 30 Years Coccoliths have increased
nearly 30 times in the North Atlantic!
This lends an inordinate amount of ludicrosity to the “acidification” BS.
• • •

.
Out of the tiny amounts of CO₂ in the atmosphere right now, 418 molecules per 1,000,000 molecules (the 1 Million Molecules are mostly Nitrogen and Oxygen), there is no chance of any “acidification”. It’s pure Fiction & Fairytales. The Oceans are Alkaline. And microorganisms like Coccolithophores, that would not thrive in an acid ocean, are virtually exploding.

Surprisingly, the Corals are thriving as well. The rumors of their untimely death is grossly exaggerated.

And while we are on the topic Oceans. No. The Sea Levels are not rising.
According to Al Gore, New York City should already be under water.
But Sea Level is steady.
If I should make an educated guess, I would say that there is a chance that the Sea Levels might drop slightly over the next Century.
Now it looks like the Marxist Propagandists are taking the same stance with Sea Level Rise as people waiting for Fusion Power. The drowning of New York City is always 30 years away.

And no, the Chicken Little of the Seas, the Sea Floor is not dissolving.

Our Oceans are the Sweetest of CO₂ “Breathers”. And when I say ‘Sweetest’, it is a poetic metaphor. I take the artistic liberty to call our Oceans that, as a picture on the Wonderful Capacity to adapt to changes in Solar Activity and Cosmic Background Radiation, which are the real Climate Drivers. Climate Drivers we can do little to nothing about.
And we shouldn’t do anything about them either! Nature and Nature’s God gave us this Oasis in the Black Coldness of Space to love and cherish, and protect it. But not make up fairytales about Earth’s NORMAL Functions, or vilify the most important, greening Fertilizer on the Planet: CO₂!

Insane Megalomaniac Mass Murdering Marxist Millionaires and Billionaires, who believe their Greed-Created Wealth, stepping over dead bodies to play “god” are not short of absolutely insane, dangerous Geoengineering ideas that easily could destroy Humanity and a good part of Nature with it.

It is our Duty to stop them Cold in their Tracks now. Before they destroy the Planet with us upon it!

So, I call our Oceans with their Enormous Capacity to store CO₂ and sequester CO₂ into chalky rock, “Sweet CO₂ Breathers”.
Why?
Because we need some Poetry in our Lives.

• We need to recognize that we Human Beings are not the villains that the Marxist Agenda propagandizes we are.
• We need to break the Chains of Slavery they are binding us with.
• We need to stop paying Kings’ Ransoms on an annual basis to those Marxist Propagandists, just because they tell Big Lies.
• We need to teach our Children that CO₂ is our Friend and the Nourishing Food of Plants, both Land and Sea Living.
• We need to stop building Mass Murdering Marxist Bird Slashing Machines and free Child Slaves from their shackles, mining Rare Earth Minerals for their Mass Murdering Marxist ‘Massas’.
• And we need to prepare for the coming Mini-Ice Age now that the Sun has gone into a Grand Solar Minimum, a GSM. This is no problem for Humanity. We have the technology now to cope perfectly fine with the coming decades of increasingly Cold Winters and Cooler Summers.
  But we need the Money to do that. Money that now is being swindled from us in the Trillions, Left and Right.
• The bottom line about the FRAUD “Ocean Acidification”, is that it doesn’t exist. So let us stop paying through the nose for it. That means that any Politician, “left” or “right” who believes in this Fraud is by extension killing us. Whether a Political Candidate runs on these Lies out of Greed or out of Laziness, not having researched this properly, he or she can no longer get our votes or our support in any way, shape or form. We owe that to ourselves. But most of all, we owe that to our Children.

MOTHER EARTH IS STARVING

Plant Life on Mother Earth’s Terra Firma and Plant Plankton in the Oceans are literally starving from too little CO₂. It might not look that way, and to yourself and probably everyone you know, it is probably hard to believe, but we are still in an Ice Age.
In Geological Terms we are still coming out of the last Ice Age. Ask any student in any Elementary School — at least in those Schools that haven’t completely sunken down into the Quagmire of Demonic Madness from all the Marxist Indoctrination — and they’ll tell you that the last Ice Age ended 11,700 years ago. That isn’t entirely true…

We are in fact still living in the tail end of that Ice Age. The last Ice Age, the Last Glacial Period (LGP), started about 115,000 years ago and ended about 11,700 years ago. But an Ice Age doesn’t start over night. It isn’t like one day there is Summer and balmy Weather and the next day most of Europe and North America is suddenly under an Ice Sheet several miles high.

And conversely, it isn’t like that Ice Sheet suddenly evaporates over night and it’s a balmy, sunny Summer’s Day. So, even though the worst Glaciation ended about 11,700 years ago, we are still living in this period in Geological Terms. And that means that Plant Life, which is used to far, far higher temperatures and with far higher temperatures, the Oceans’ Natural CO₂ fizzes out into the atmosphere like a Soda Bottle which has been heated and is bubbling CO₂ out in the great blue yonder of our Earth’s Atmosphere.

The LGP robbed us of an inordinate amount of CO₂. And we need that CO₂ back into the atmosphere in the several Thousands of Parts Per Million.

We are often told another Murderous Big Lie by the Marxist Climate Mafia:

We are told that we are too many People and it is killing the Planet.

Lies, Lies and bloody Nonsense! The Planet can sustain many, many Billions more People than are living here today. And with a solid increase in CO₂, the Sky Is No Longer The Limit.

Climatologist David Legates – More CO₂ Is Good

Will Someone Please Alert The Corn Growing In Arizona That — It Can’t Be Growing There — And That It Is Destroying The Marxist Climate Alarmists’ NARRATIVE By Doing So

One, in the seemingly endless stream of Climate Lies & Frauds, is the lie that increased CO₂ is dangerous for plant life, and that a Warm Climate is stunting plant growth.

The desertification has been going on for several Millennia in the Desert Zones on Earth. The last real Ice Age on our planet ended a little over 10,000 years ago. During this extremely cold period in our Planet’s History, enormous amounts of the naturally occurring CO₂ was dissolved in the Oceans.
And there, much of it remains to this day.
Geologically we are still coming out of the last Ice Age.
We are in fact living in the tail end of the last Ice Age, and Plant Life is starved of CO₂.
The short 15 minute lecture above puts to rest a lot of the Unscientific Claims made by the Marxist Climate Alarmists.

Among these claims is the one that CO₂ raises temperature and is bad for plant life. The fact is that plants need much, much more of that precious gas that is still sparse in our Post Ice Age Atmosphere. With the slight increase in CO₂ we have had since about 1955, and the meager contribution of about 5% of CO₂ by Human Activity, Plant Life is just about now starting to reclaim deserts.
And all Real Science done on plants at different levels of CO₂, shows that Plants not only love CO₂ and grows much more rapidly in a CO₂ rich environment (something every Greenhouse Farmer will tell you, while patting their CO₂ Generator and smiling), it also conserves Water.

Poor people in the Developing World deserves something better than eating mud cakes to fill their starving bellies. With more CO₂ in the Atmosphere, they could easily live in a Desert!
Because, it would be a Desert no more. With the supply of a tiny amount of water, maybe from the slight moist in the Cold Desert Nights, Plant Life will take hold, and start pushing back the desert.
With many times more CO₂ in the Atmosphere than today, crops will start shooting out of the ground like a genuine Biblical Miracle, and it will conserve water in the process, which can be used for other things, such as watering more crops.

And this Miracle will also increase our own Farmers’ Crops like nothing cooked up in a Laboratory will.

Corn isn’t supposed to grow in Arizona, according to the “Experts”, yet it does. And that is down to the Gas of Life — Carbon Dioxide — CO₂. And so is the Crops that have become more plentiful these past few Decades.

Life “Exploded” On Earth When Levels Were 500-2,000% of Today’s Level

The 2022 CO₂ level is about 418 ppm. Parts per million, ppm is the level at which CO₂ is measured. Sometimes you will see the unit ppmv which is parts per million volume. For example, 1,000 ppm of CO₂ means that if you could count a million gas molecules, 1,000 of them would be of carbon dioxide and 999,000 molecules would be other gases like Nitrogen, Oxygen and trace amounts of other gases.

Since the current level is 418 ppm, that means that:
out of 1,000,000 air molecules,
418 are CO₂ and
999,582 are of other molecules, mainly Nitrogen, N₂ — and Oxygen, O₂.

The Ordovician Period, in geologic time, is the second period of the Paleozoic Era. It began 485.4 million years ago, following the Cambrian Period, and ended 443.8 million years ago, when the Silurian Period began.

I find this period especially interesting because it saw an explosion in life and also a mass extinction at the end due to a Glaciation Period, or Ice Age if you will, which wiped out much of the life which had blossomed during the warm, CO₂-rich period. What is more; it happened in spite of a vastly greater CO₂ concentrations than today. The level was possibly 800-1,000% higher than today. The CO₂ did not heat the planet and it did not cool the planet.

Professor Murry Salby – Professor Valentina Zharkova – Professor Nir Shaviv And The Power of The Human Brain

Professor Tim Patterson, Professor Edward J. Wegman, Professor Bob Carter, Dr. Ivar Giaever, Nobel Laureate (1973, Physics), Dr. Willie Soon, Dr. Henrik Svensmark, Dr. Dick Morgan, Dr. Fred Goldberg, Hans H.J. Labohm, Dr. Ross McKitrick, Dr. Chris Landsea, Dr. Madhav Khandekar, Dr. Wibjörn Karlén, Lord Christopher Walter Monckton, Professor Ian Clark, Dr. Nir Shaviv, Professor Eigil Friis-Christensen, Dr. Piers Corbyn, Dr. Roy Spencer, Professor John Christy, Professor Philip Stott, Professor Paul Reiter, Professor Richard Lindzen, Patrick Moore, Professor Frederick Singer, Professor Patrick Michaels, Professor Carl Wunsch, James Shikwati, Professor Syun-Ichi Akasofu, Professor Tim Ball, Lord Lawson of Blaby, Nigel Calder, Paul Driessen, Anthony Watts, Craig Idso…

…the list goes on and on and on with great names of men and women whom all have had the courage to speak the Truth in a time of Universal Deceit, Fraud, Pseudo-Science and Fear Porn Mania.

As a Norwegian, I am inordinately proud that our Norwegian Nobel Laureate in Physics (1973), Ivar Giæver (he got an American Citizenship in 1958) is among this hallow group of Brave Real Science proponents. There are several brilliant minds that deserve an article, even a book, about their work and struggle to make it known. The names mentioned above almost all have a couple of things in common:

• They are old, and as such, it has been hard or impossible for the Marxist Mafia to ruin their career, because they have already had it.
  
• They have been rejected from publishing their Real Scientific Discoveries in the increasingly Pseudo-Scientific, Marxist Operated, “Science” Journals. These journals are increasingly like Hitler’s Nazi-Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union and Mao’s Marxist China:
  Totalitarian, Censoring and Fanatically Religious about their Marxist Ideology. “Blasphemers” not towing the Global Warming/Climate Change Line are simply silenced.

But there are two names I would like to place front and center in this article. These two are:

Professor Valentina Zharkova — Renowned professor of Mathematics. She is currently teaching at Northumbria University in the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Electrical Engineering. Her monumental discovery and mathematical modelling of two processes in the sun, has enabled her and her team to model climate over hundreds of thousands of years with a 97% accuracy. That is an order of magnitude better than any of the around one hundred different Multi-Billion Dollar Super-Computer “Climate Models”, where “scientists” tweaks the variables of highly biased data to give them the highly biased result that they want and need for their Mega Dollar Climate Revolution. It would have been far, far cheaper for the Tax Payer if those Propagandists just drew the infamous hockey stick on a piece of paper, but then there would be no reason to give them Billions upon Billions of Dollars to develop their “models”.
Naturally, Professor Zharkova has been given the usual Marxist Cancel Culture Treatment; Free Speech & Publication for the Politically Correct Pseudo-Scientists, none for her. She is in very good and honest company though. She can adorn herself with the noble title of Real Scientist, which is an increasingly rare breed these days.

Professor Murry Salby — Renowned Climate Physicist. In 2008 he became a professor of climate risk at Macquarie University in Macquarie Park, New South Wales, Australia. In 2013 he was invited to do a lecture tour at several prominent universities in Europe to talk about his discoveries in his field, Climate Physics.
While on this tour, the university fired him with no chance of appeal… They were even so kind as to call the airline and cancel his return ticket to Australia! They officially claimed that they had “dismissed” him “on grounds of refusal to teach and misuse of university resources”.
In reality they fired him for proving, beyond the shadow of a doubt that CO₂ — THE GAS OF LIFE — has next to nothing to do with global warming at current levels!
What is more impressive, he did it without any Multi-Billion Dollar Super-Computer “Climate Model”.
He simply did it by using the IPCC’s Worst Case Scenario Figures and his own massive intellect. Using intelligence and common sense, and doing math the old fashioned way was an affront to all the Money, Power and Prestige that the garden variety Mass Murdering Marxist Pseudo-Scientist so crave these days. Outsmarting those haughty, but oh so laughable, figures of Rock Star Fame (Pseudo) Science — the Lysenkos of our time simply has to be punished. Hard. We cannot have intelligent men and women of Real Science disclosing what Lies the People has been forced to pay for and indoctrinated with on endless Fear Porn Shows on Prime Time TV for decades. If that is allowed to stand, where would CCP Hegemony, World Revolution and All Power to the Few in the Tyrannical end up?

LECTURE BY PROFESSOR MURRY SALBY: Why Mankind Cannot Significantly Change Climate — Even After All Fossil Fuels Have Been Used — Demonstrated By Using The UN’s Own Figures

• 🇺🇸 Free Thought
• 🇺🇸 Freedom of Speech
• 🇺🇸 Real Education & Science

are mortal enemies of The Great Reset. We can’t have that, says the pearl clutching Propagandists. Now, they can’t go around murdering everyone who dares speak the Truth (just yet – at least not unless you’re a fmr. president and first lady of a certain Marxist Caliber). But they can silence them. And so, Murry Salby was also given a taste of Marxist Cancel Culture — The “Academic” Silence Treatment.

Every second America consumes nearly 4,000 gallons of gasoline, almost half the world’s production. And this gasoline is essential to drive the World’s Biggest Economy. When America’s Economy thrives, so does the Free World.
Sooner or later, half a Century to a Century or so from now, Fossil Fuel reserves will have been spent. Meanwhile the Market Economy will drive technology development into new Energy Sources and Energy Distribution.
But that is not what the Marxists want.
They want to get filthy rich in a hurry.
The only way for them to rob people blind, is propagating a completely false narrative about “Man Made Global Warming” or the win-win version “Man Made Climate Change”. With the latter, you cannot lose. Climate changes all the time, so for Marxists with business interests in another black chapter in Human History; “green technology” need only wait a bit before ka-ching! —they can cash in on their Pseudo-Science Fear Porn.

No wonder they had to fire him and illegally seize absolutely all his public and private notes and data…

Why these two in particular?

My field is Medicine and Medical Biology, but I did have a “side-order” of Physics in University because I love Physics, and I have always maintained an interest in the field. As such, I did not start with a Conclusion and try to cherrypick supporting evidence, like the Whores of Science, the Pseudo-Scientific Community, the Che Guevaras of Fear Porn do in order to get their thirsty trunks into the Government Tax Taps. I was completely open to the question of Anthropogenic Global Warming. I tried to read as much as I could about both sides of the debate. Finding proponents of the “Man Made Global Warming Disaster” wasn’t hard at all. You can hardly pick up a Scientific Paper today, whatever the topic may be, without there being appended some fantastic claim that all things in the end is related to “Man Made Global Warming”, or the hedged bet of “Man Made Climate Change”.
Climate changes.
That’s what climate does.
And with a claim of “Man Made Climate Change”, all you need to do to be “proven right” is to wait a while.
When climate changes, which it does constantly, Voila! there’s your “proof”. You can claim; “See! I told you so!”

Finding the opposing view has been much more difficult. In many ways it has been like a tragic comedy. Tragic, because the vast majority of Scientists who have the data to support the opposite view of the Official Politically Correct one have been all but silenced. Comedy, because it is ridiculous to see the lengths to which these Marxist Masters of Education, Hollywood and Media are willing to go to, in order to gag these Scientists. I am sure most of these upstanding Scientists don’t find the same comic relief when they are doxxed, shot at with submachine guns, threatened and have their families threatened, good old fashioned Marxist-Revolutionary-Violence Style. The 1960s Commie Revolutionaries aim for secure jobs at the top of Academia. It was always a goal for the subversion of Freedom and introduction of Marxism in the West that they had to force the revolution. People do not want to give up Freedom voluntarily. Now they are University Presidents and Administrators. That means that young Scientists are forced to lie and to tow the Politically Correct Lie, or commit professional suicide. So, finding balanced Science has been nearly impossible.

But I have persisted. And I have found the sites that Marxist Google (AKA Goolag) is so desperate to bury, lest the Truth be known. I was pretty convinced what the Truth really was about a decade earlier. But then I came across Professor Murry Salby‘s brilliant lecture on 1000frolly PhD‘s eminent Climate YouTube Channel. It blew me away! Murry Salby proved that the Human Brain is infinitely more powerful than all the super expensive computer “Climate Models”, which are tweaked and tweaked and then tweaked some more to come out with the “right” result, that is; the wrong result. And what holds true for all models:

Garbage In = Garbage Out

The data put into these models is falsified. There is no more polite way to put it when rural temperature stations are being phased out while stations in cities are increased. The temperature in the countryside will be much cooler than in the cities. Cities act as heat islands with much higher average temperatures than in the countryside, and are not representative of the average temperature.

How is this fraudulent illusion created?

Climate is Weather observed over 30 years. If you have three bad winters, six extremely hot summers or nine dry autumns in a row, that is not climate. Only if it persists over a 30-year period does it qualify as Climate.

A little by little the rural temperature measuring stations have been removed, while more have been installed in the cities. And when some of these city stations are located on top of BBQ Restaurants and at the end of Airport Runways, being blasted by jet engines all day long, the data coming out of this is false.
The Climate Pornographers are literally holding several handful of fingers on the scale.

In 2013 Governments had spent 2 TRILLION TAX DOLLARS on this “Climate Research” and Reports. Honestly, I have lost track since then, but if the amount is doubled, I would not be at all surprised.

Since Human Activity Does Not Drive Climate Change – What Does?

Climate Could Change Fairly Dramatically And Humans Have Nothing To Do With It

June 8, 2020 the Sun went “on Holiday”. Professor Valentina Zharkova has made a remarkably precise Climate Model, The Climate and the Solar Magnetic Field Model. Professor Zharkova was only one of two Scientists to predict that Solar Cycle 24 would be weaker than Solar Cycle 23. In fact, only 2 out of 150 Models predicted this, and Professor Zharkova’s Models run at an amazing 97% Accuracy.

She predicted that the Sun entered a Grand Solar Minimum June 8, 2020.

That means that Earth’s Climate will become significantly colder in the decades to come, until it turns warmer again after 2055.

How does this work? Obviously the Physics is somewhat complicated. But it can be explained like this:

When the Sun is very active, it slings enormous amounts of Particles out into Space. These Low Energy Particles act as a shield around the Earth. They make it more likely that the High Energy Cosmic Background Radiation hit them, rather than hit the Earth’s Atmosphere.

But when the Sun has entered a Grand Solar Minimum, significantly less Particles from the Sun are ejected from the Sun. This is apparent when looking at the Sun from Observatories on Earth. When the Sun is less active, we observe significantly fewer Sun Spots. Sun Spots are the “Anchor Points” of huge Magnetic Fields. When these Magnetic Fields cannot hold their position, they burst, slinging so much material into Space, that it sometimes weighs as much or more than the Weight of the Earth.

When we now have entered a Grand Solar Minimum, the Symptom is fewer Sun Spots and less particles slung into Space. That means that the Sun’s Shield around the Earth is significantly reduced. That again means that more High Energy Cosmic Background Radiation will bombard the Earth. When these High Energy Particles hit the upper layers of the Atmosphere, just like in a Fog Chamber, they produce a charged accumulation of White Clouds. This layer of Clouds in the upper Atmosphere increases the Earth’s Albedo. Albedo means Whiteness; specifically, the proportion of light falling on a surface and irregularly reflected from it. Increased Albedo on the Earth means that more light from the Sun is simply reflected back out into Space, thus cooling the Earth below.

So, now we should be really scared that we will freeze and starve to death under the coming Mini Ice Age?

NO! Why? Because we have a level of technology and plenty of Fossil Fuels left that will see us through these shorter Growth Seasons and Colder Winters with no problem! The technology we have today far surpasses what people have had in previous cold periods on Earth.

BUT? But we need to stop filling the coffers of Marxists that wish us nothing but Malice! We cannot continue paying all these Green Taxes, CO₂ Taxes, Carbon Fees etc. We need to take this wasted money and start building the infrastructure we need to live comfortably through the coming frigid Grand Solar Minimum!

Caveat

There are quite a few critical voices to Professor Zharkova’s Model. Especially when it comes to the part about a Grand Solar Minimum. In 2009, a solar scientist named Habibullo Abdussamatov published a paper in Russian in which he argued that the following years would see a major cooling based on the onset of a new Grand Solar Minimum. However, observational data of Zharkova and Abdussamatov is weak thus far, although the springs and autumns here in the Arctic have been cold and the summers shorter. This could simply be down to what is known as Weather. Only in 25-30 Years will we be able to call Climate on the Development.

But regardless if Professor Zharkova’s Model should prove to be right or wrong in this instance, there is absolutely ZERO doubt among serious Climate Scientists, that when it comes to Climate, there is one overshadowing Factor:

When it comes to our Earthly Climate, the Sun is KING!

President Donald J. Trump Was Right About Climate Too

Alright, I decided to add a short chapter on President Donald J. Trump here for two reasons. First of all, this capable and intelligent President is like waving a red cloth in front of the Mass Murdering Marxists for whom Life is not precious and “kindness” is robbing their fellow men and women of everything, including Human Dignity, because as we all know, Marxists always know best and thus are born to rule. Everyone else… And we all know that is the Biggest Lie served up these past 150 years.

The second reason is more serious. It is the fact that President Donald J. Trump was absolutely right in entirety in his Climate and Energy Policies.

Nothing has brought more people out of abject poverty than the blessed Fossil Fuels.

BACK TO TOP

We need much MORE ENERGY — not less! And Solar and Wind is right out Stupid!

Solar and Wind Energy are intermittent Energy Sources.

The Efficiency of Solar Panels is very low. And there is limited effect of the panels the farther you get from the Equator.

Wind Turbines takes an inordinate amount of Energy to make. It is not until years way down the line that it has produced back all the Energy it took to make it. And for most Wind Turbines they are nearing the end of life at that point. So, basically, what you’re doing when you’re making a Wind Turbine, is transporting Energy from one spot (the Wind Turbine plant) to another spot (where it is mounted). But hey, if you’re an EnvironMENTAL Fascist who loves seeing your sh*t in action, and you don’t car that Wind Turbines with their supe fast turbine blades are the Ultimate Bird Killer, you are probably jerking off every time you see one of those monstrosities erected in you unholy name.

Both Solar Panels and Wind Turbines leave a lot of hazardous materials when they’re replaced. Extremely toxic Metallo-organic Compounds is one such hazard. Of course some of it can be recycled, but that again takes an enormous amount of Energy, making those contraptions even less Energy Efficient.

Wind Turbine blades have to be buried. The Fiber Glass or Carbon Fibers used in making these blades is extremely hazardous if let loose in the Environment.

Nuclear Energy has gotten an undeservedly bad name. Fusion Nuclear Power, as the joke goes; is always “only” 30 years away, even though the ITER Project hopes to solve the problem — in about 30 years time…

But there is on Source of Energy that is abundant all over the Earth, and that is Thorium. Thorium is a waste product today. It comes out with Rare Earth Minerals used for those insane Electric Vehicles we all are being pushed into buying. Mining Companies actually have to pay to store Thorium.

So, what are the Positive Sides of Thorium:

• Thorium is an Element that is everywhere. An average Cubic Meter of soil contains 2 grams of it.
• America’s Oak Ridge National Laboratories already built and ran a Thorium-Uranium Salt Reactor, the MRSE for three years in the 1960’s (1965-1968) and the Plans are in the Public Domain.
• You cannot make Nuclear Bombs from a Thorium LFTR — Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor.
• You can however burn spent fuel from Fast Breeder Light Water Reactors, that today is stored at great costs. You can even take Nuclear Weapons and burn them as Fuel in a Thorium Reactor if you wanted to.
• Thorium Reactors don’t work under High Pressure and High Temperature (1,100°C, or 2,000°F) like today’s Nuclear Reactors do, so they won’t explode.
  Instead, LFTRs just work under somewhat High Temperature, (about 600-700°C, or 1100-1300°F), although lower than the core of Water Moderated Reactors. In case of a runaway, a salt plug would melt and the Fuel would drain into cooling tanks. In other words, if the reaction for some obscure reason would run away, however unlikely, since there is no high pressure involved, the plant would shut itself down due to the Laws of Physics, namely the Melting Temperature of the Salt in question and Gravity.
• The Uranium Lobby, who wanted Fast Breeder Ractors for Weapons Production back in the day lied and said Nuclear Power would be “too cheap to meter“. With Thorium Reactors this statement is far closer to being true.
• Companies, like FLIBE Energy have already formed to develop new Molten Salt Thorium Fuel Cycle Reactors.

More on Thorium

People working with developing Modern Thorium Reactors almost always try surfing on the Fake Wave of “Carbon Fear”. If you can just close your ears to this BS, and just listen to the rest, this YouTube Channel has collected most of what is out there on the Thorium Reactors:

The Creation of The Tired, The Poor, The Huddled Masses — The Green New Suicide Deal

Some of the most destructive Socialist Deals in America has been launched by the most celebrated Democratic Party Presidents.

President Trump’s Energy Plan worked on bringing back 30,000+ jobs.
The Marxist Obiden Junta destroyed them.

There is a red thread from Woodrow Wilson up to today’s Marxist Run Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is the only entity that has really started an insurrection in America. It was set off when they attacked Fort Sumpter and ignited the American Civil War, which left more than 600,000 dead Americans on the blood soaked battlefields by the time it was all over. The great issue was Slavery. The Democrats sent scores of young men into battle to defend the lucrative Business of Slavery. And extremely few of the men who were duped into this bloodshed ever owned a slave. Only 3% of the White Population of the Southern States owned Slaves, and they were all — without exception — Democrats.

Why is this important? Because the Master — Slave Mentality is the Red Thread that permeates the thinking and actions taken by the Democratic Party.

Woodrow Wilson went against the entire Founding with his Progressive Political Philosophy. The Founding is based on Natural Rights of the Individual:

Woodrow Wilson on the other hand, inspired by Democrat Theodore Roosevelt, turned his attention from Congress, ‘We The People’s’ Body, to the Executive Branch “as the best means of achieving Progressive policy goals”. But he didn’t stop there. He envisioned America as a Dictatorship, and th President as the Dictator. They didn’t call it the “Democratic Party” by sheer happenstance.

President Wilson wrote in his essay”Socialism and Democracy,” that there is no significant difference between Socialism and Democracy. He wanted to remove the wisely instituted Separations of Powers and Checks and Balances that the Founders had set to make America a Constitutional Republic, and turn it into an Autocratic Tyranny. He didn’t use those words of course. He rather sugarcoated the turd like every Democrat after him, and promised lots of “Free Stuff”. One of the major shifts that progressed Americans away from their Founding happened under Wilson. He felt that Representatives of the People, elected by the People, acting in accordance with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights was a hinderance for his Socialist Dreams. So he simply redefined the Unelected Administration to mean the execution of the Will of ‘We The People’. Without the checks and balances. And without any Will of any People but the Democrats being executed, of course.

It is way harder to fire ten thousand Bureaucrats, than just abstain from voting on one Elected Official when he/she hasn’t delivered.

With Franklin Delano Roosevelt it got even worse. A slump in the Stock Market, which Economists now know would have righted itself within two years max, was instead exploited to inject Socialism with lighting speed into America, and by doing so, start the gradual destruction of the Poverty Eliminating Capitalist System that America was founded and built on. And the Exploiter was non other than FDR himself, helped along the way by his Nazi and Communist admiring army of aspiring Administrator for the Dictator.

One of the major Socialist Programs introduced under this Dictator for Life was The New Deal. Its main effect was to establish Institutionalized Socialism in America, while merely treating the Symptoms of the Great Depression that FDR had created.

I could have continued with every Democrat President ever since, but you get the drift by now: Democrat Dictatorship Good — People actually determining their own faith BAD.

FDR’s Socialist New Deal brings us to the so-called “Democratic” Party’s latest stunt, and this time it really is an Instant Nation-Killer, just add Gestapo (or 87,000 Armed IRS Agents…?);
The New Green Deal.

The Green New Deal, with a dizzying price tag over ten years of $94 TRILLION, or $94,000,000,000,000+, have, among several provisions to:

• give “economic security” for people who are “unwilling to work,” or UBI (universal basic income);
• wean Americans off of beef and dairy products;
• ban all gas-powered vehicles by 2030;
• eliminate the airline industry;
• promote Medicare for All, “gender-based justice”, homosexuality and gender confusion;
• tear down and rebuild every building in the country.

In other words: It would END AMERICA, and by extension The Free World in less than 10 years to “solve” a non-problem.

Among the most ardent Marxist Killers pushing this Murderous Scheme, which would give them all the Wealth and Power they could ever dream of, we find:
Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Tulsi Gabbard, Jay Inslee and Julian Castro.

You Will Not Thank Them When You Are Starving — CCP Aims To Rule The World.

We are currently experiencing a Shortage of Fossil Fuels. This is not because we in any way are running out of these Brilliant, Cheap, Safe and Effective Energy Sources. No. We are under attack from Communist China. The Marxists of the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party – a Trans-National Criminal Organization – have hatched a hundred year plan to take over the World.

Since it was formed in 1949, the CCP has had a plan to rule the World within a hundred years. That means, we are all either killed or enslaved by the CCP by 2049, unless we act now to fight back an break this Most Lethal Dictatorship in all of Human History.

The CCP Criminals operates through what is known as ‘Unrestricted Warfare’. Basically it means that anything that can be used as a Weapon, will be deployed against the “Enemy”, which in this instance is us. Such Weapons can be Illegal Immigration, Saturating a Country of Illegal Drugs, Lawfare – Inflicting damage by abusing the Justice System, Buying Politicians to become Corrupt Tools.

And of course, in this vein, we find ourselves at the receiving end of a Barrage of Pseudo-Science, designed to scare people into giving up their Money and Ultimately their Lives to “Save The Planet”. Through Multi-National Organizations like the UN, the EU and The World Economic Forum.

The World Economic Forum is the World’s most Influential & Dangerous Terrorist Organization, laired in Davos, it is run by a Marxist of the German Nazi Family Branch, Klaus Schwab. The Organization should be thought of as the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) Western Web or Flypaper, to capture Elites, major Western Political Parties and their Leaders and Western Globalist Companies and their Leaders, and signing up top Students at Universities in their young leadership programs to own the Western World in the Future.

The CCP uses much of the same techniques when they now have Elite Captured key Strategic Ports, stolen enormous Land Masses in Asia, Africa and the Americas. Here, in the middle of World War 3, the Ancient War Stratagem of Elite Capturing is rolled out everywhere.

If you have a good VPN and wipe your browser and device afterwards, you can read the Literature which descibes the most successful Organized Crime Organization on World Economic Forum’s homepage. On their homepage you will also find a list under ‘Our Partners’. Reading that list, it will dawn on you that the Entire Free, Liberal, Democratic, Open West is about to become One Unified Fascist Dictatorship.

They will crash the Economy. They will use the crash to make People dependent on the State through starvation and severe shortages. Then they will offer up “the cure”. And just like with their COVID-19 which enabled this process to start, this time too, “the cure” is the WEAPON.

This time it wont be disguised as “vaccines” but rather as CBDC — Central Bank Digital Currency.

The Fact that they have severely restricted our access to Fossil Fuels and hence caused a massive rise in all Prices and Food Shortages, should be Warning enough.

We must stop this, and their Insanity with their quest to become “gods” and “live” forever in Transhumanism. Transhumanism is dependent on Artificial Intelligence (AI). This technology is more powerful than a Thermonuclear Weapon. They have in fact become so scared about their own creation and are trying to put the Genie back into the Bottle with a mere 6 month moratorium on AI. But, that cannot be done. And this is like the Father of the Atomic Bomb, Dr. Robert Oppenheimer stalking your kids (using AI…) and handing them a fully functioning Nuclear Weapon and trigger mechanism to play with… The Nazi brat who grew up to become the Anti-Human, Transhumanist best buddy of Xi Jinping, is pushing massively destructive Big Lies. We must wake up our Fellow Citizens while there is still time to save our Civilization.

The Blessings and Curses of The Mobile Phone Cameras.

You are walking around with a fully functioning Photo and TV Studio in your pocket. Not many years back, it would take a whole TV Crew a lot of effort struggling their way into the epicenter of a Major Storm. Nowadays, People can simply whip out their Cell Phones and film the destruction while it is happening.

And because we had to rely upon Newspapers, then Radio and finally TV before, we often saw little or sometimes no pictures of the destruction of a storm. Today, thanks to the Cell Phone Camera and Internet, nowadays we are accustomed to often watching storms Live. Cell Phone Cameras have given us many a funny and useful film clip to watch. But with this technology, People in general are left with the feeling that Storms occur more often and are more violent. Statistics on the other hand refute this, like the graphs above illustrate.

Storms, Floods and Droughts haven’t gotten worse the past Century, and in fact there has been a reduction in Violent Tornadoes.

The Disgusting Abuse of Language – “Climate Change Denier”

Marxists, the same people who are running the Climate Change Fear Porn Campaigns, are masters at hijacking and perverting the language. The invention of the term “Climate Change Denier” is meant to evoke the horrible picture of “Holocaust Denier”.

A common fallback position when losing an argument is to assault your adversary personally. Known as ad hominem, it involves “attacking an opponent’s motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain.”

In climate science, those who employ this rhetorical tactic attack individuals who ask probing scientific questions. The attacks indicate that they know how inadequate their science is. It often works because of a deliberate campaign to exploit basic sensitivities: fear the sky is falling, guilt about not protecting the environment, guilt about the damage already done, fear and embarrassment of showing ignorance.

The Monstrous Masters of the Mass Murdering Marxist Minions Making Millions

Back in 2013, already a whopping $2 TRILLION had been robbed from Western Tax Payers in the name of the new Climate Religion. Since then it has gone full tilt to the point where I have lost the overview. Today there is serious talk of robbing the People of up to $10 TRILLION EVERY SINGLE YEAR FOR A DECADE, just in America.

I dare say that after a year or two with that madness, there will be no more America and no more Free World.

The Price Of Political Correctness Is Child Slave Labor

The Pearl Clutching Elite who never seem to fail arriving at Conferences in Private Jets — Conferences where they decide to destroy our Natural Freedoms, our right to self-determination, food, warmth, shelter or even go on Holidays Abroad.

This Marxist Elite does what it has always been best at: Enslaving other People and enriching themselves on the backs of other People’s backs.

You Do Not Get Government Money To Study Non-Problems

In this speech back in 2018, REAL Climatologist Roy Spencer looks at the Prostitution of Science to placate the “Woke” (Marxist) Powers that be.

One of the points he raises in this 15 minute speech, is that when the Old Guard of REAL Scientists that publish, or at least try to publish sensible, skeptical Papers on Climate dies out — there won’t be anyone left to question the Fake News Narrative. It’s quite possible that there are “Closet Realists” out there, but they are thoroughly hidden in the Closet.

And the reason is simple: You do not get Government Money to study Non-Problems, like the Climate. But if you present Natural Climate Change as “Man Made Climate Change”, there is almost no limit to all the research grants you can get.

In other words: You have to commit quite a bit of Whoring and Prostitution to do Science these days. And that in itself defeats the whole Purpose of Science!

An Informative Scientific Climate Playlist

If you are interested in more Realistic, Scientific Climate Talks, I have put together this YouTube Playlist for just such an occasion. Two videos in this playlist were blocked because they quite legally had used material from German TV Station RTL Deutschland GmbH to comment on it. In essence, RTL Deutschland GmbH says that Journalism is dead. The ability to comment on other Journalists’ work has been an essential part of Journalism in Free and Open Societies. Now we are moving from Free and Open Journalism towards Totalitarian State Controlled Propaganda.And that is why fewer and fewer people know what you have learnt by studying this article.

But as far as Man Made Global Warming / Man Made Climate Change, as you, by now can see from this article, there is only one lesson to take away, besides the urgent need to stop the catastrophic destruction of our industries and exploding Climate Taxes, and that lesson is:

DON’T WORRY! – BE HAPPY!

THE US SUPREME COURT NARROWS EPA’S ABILITY TO REGULATE CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONS!
— FULL STORY —

Back to the top of this article.

The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 on June 30 that the Clean Air Act doesn’t give the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) widespread power to regulate carbon dioxide emissions that a popular theory says contribute to global warming.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the court’s majority opinion (pdf) in West Virginia v. EPA, court file 20-1530. Roberts was joined by the court’s other five conservatives. The court’s three liberal justices dissented.

While “capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible ‘solution to the crisis of the day,’” Roberts wrote, quoting a 1992 precedent, “it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme in Section 111(d)” of the Clean Air Act.

“A decision of such magnitude and consequence rests with Congress itself, or an agency acting pursuant to a clear delegation from that representative body,” he wrote.

West Virginia and 18 other states challenged the authority the Clean Air Act provides the EPA.

In 2016, the Supreme Court overturned the Obama-era Clean Power Plan (CPP), which expanded controls over the industry. Next, the deregulation-minded Trump administration reversed course, easing control on the industry with its Affordable Clean Energy Rule (ACE Rule).

On Jan. 19, 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit struck down the ACE Rule, restoring some of the EPA’s authority in American Lung Association v. EPA (pdf). The court held that the EPA, under Trump, had misconstrued section 7411(d) of the Clean Air Act.

In the new opinion, the Supreme Court reversed the D.C. Circuit decision and remanded the case “for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”

In Justice Elena Kagan’s dissent, she criticized the court majority for a decision she said “strips” the EPA of the power Congress gave it to respond to “the most pressing environmental challenge of our time,” citing Massachusetts v. EPA (2007).

“Climate change’s causes and dangers are no longer subject to serious doubt. Modern science is ‘unequivocal that human influence’—in particular, the emission of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide—’has warmed the atmosphere, ocean and land.’”

“Whatever else this Court may know about, it does not have a clue about how to address climate change. And let’s say the obvious: The stakes here are high. Yet the Court today prevents congressionally authorized agency action to curb power plants’ carbon dioxide emissions. The Court appoints itself—instead of Congress or the expert agency—the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening.”

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, who previously told The Epoch Times that the EPA is trying to transform itself from “an environmental regulator into a central energy planning authority,” praised the Supreme Court.

“For many years, we’ve argued that EPA only had a narrow bit of authority to regulate carbon emissions,” Morrisey, a Republican who brought the appeal, said at a press conference.

“I think that the court today amplified that point. And once again, they also made clear that when you have something this big, something with vast economic and political significance, then that represents an extraordinary question. And that means Congress needs to step in, as opposed to the unelected bureaucrats.

“We know that over the last year and a half, the Biden administration has tried to run roughshod over the American economy with respect to its energy agenda.

“We want to make sure that the Biden agenda is limited by basis of what Congress authorized these agencies [to do],” he said.

“Our founders envisioned” that “Congress and not the unelected bureaucrats” should make decisions “about the major issues of the day.”

“They didn’t want to just have these unelected bureaucrats reach out and try to seize power where it didn’t exist,” Morrisey said.

U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) criticized the ruling and the six conservative justices.

“As the devastating impacts of climate change are becoming ever-more present, it is mind boggling and deeply alarming that the Supreme Court today has decided to hamstring the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases. This ruling not only restricts the agency’s ability to limit air pollution from the second-largest source of emissions in America, it also undermines the landmark Clean Air Act that gave it such authority,” the senator said.

“Make no mistake, with this devastating ruling in West Virginia v. EPA, the conservative majority of the Court continues to take our country backward and more worrisome, it opens the door to far-reaching implications for how other federal agencies generally create regulations to implement existing legislation moving forward.”
