To understand all the talk of
“climate change” you must understand that everything and everyone
involved—except for those of us who debunk the lies—are engaged in a criminal
enterprise to transfer billions from industrialized nations to those who have
failed to provide a thriving economy, often because they are run by dictators or
corrupt governments who skim the money for
themselves.
The lies being inflicted on
Americans include Obama’s “war on coal” that is shutting down coal-fired plants
that affordably and efficiently produce the electricity the nation needs, along
with the six-year delay of the Keystone XL pipeline. Add in the thousands of
Environmental Protection Agency regulations affecting our manufacturing,
business and agricultural sectors and the price we are paying is huge.
At its heart, environmentalism
hates capitalism.
One of the worst parts of this
scam to take from the rich and give to the poor—otherwise known as
“redistribution”—is the way the world’s media have played along since 1992 when
the first Earth Summit was held in Rio. The perpetrators are headquartered in
the United Nations, home to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
that sets the agenda.
While the 20th session of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Conference of Parties meets in
Lima, Peru this week, perhaps the most egregious and outrageous example of
journalism was the December 2nd Associated
Press article, “Hotter, Weirder: How Climate Change and Changed the
Earth.” It is not attributed to a
specific reporter; perhaps because it is filled with lies from start to finish.
It starts with the biggest lie
of all: “WASHINGTON
(AP) -- In the more than two decades since world leaders first got together to
try to solve global warming, life on Earth has changed, not just the climate.
It's gotten hotter, more polluted with heat-trapping gases, more crowded and
just downright wilder.”
The
Earth is in the 19th year of a natural cooling cycle, the result of a
comparable cycle on the Sun which is producing less radiation to warm the
planet. What astounds anyone who knows this is the article’s assertion that
“It's almost a sure thing that 2014 will go down as
the hottest
year in
135 years of record keeping, meteorologists at NOAA's National Climatic Data
Center say. If so, this will be the sixth time since 1992 that the world set or
tied a new annual record for the warmest year.”
Would
government agencies that are beholden to the existing administration for their
budgets lie to the public? Yes, they would. While all fifty states experienced
freezing weather within the past month, we are still being told that 2014 set
new records for warmth. To borrow a phrase from Jonathan Gruber, the architect
of ObamaCare, the government can tell “stupid” voters and others anything it
wants in order to achieve its goals.
For
the record, in 2013 and much of 2014, there have been record low numbers of
tornadoes and hurricanes. There was a record gain in Arctic and Antarctic ice.
There was no change in the rate of sea level rise; something measured in
millimeters. The weather is the weather
and that includes dramatic events such as blizzards or droughts, but it is
hardly uniform. Depending on where you live on planet Earth, you will experience
it differently on any given day.
As
representatives of 190 climate mafia meet in Peru, you will be given data about
carbon dioxide (CO2). The AP article cites increases of “60 percent.” If that were true, it would be
good news. All vegetation on Earth depends on CO2, just as humans and other
living creatures depend on oxygen. More CO2 means healthier forests and greater
crop yields, an agricultural bonus in a world that needs to feed seven billion
people. But it’s not true. Nor is the claim that the mere 0.04% of CO2 in the
Earth’s atmosphere traps so much heat we’re all going to die. It doesn’t and
most of us will die of old age.
As
Amy Ridenour of the National Center for Public Policy Research reported in June,
“The U.S. already leads the world in CO2 reductions and is a great role model.
U.S. energy-related CO2 emissions fell 12.6 percent between 2005 and 2012,
thanks to technology and conservation. Worldwide, CO2 emissions increased by
17.7 percent during the same period.”
That’s a far cry from the AP claim of 60 percent.
The
Peru conference is another effort to impose a global tax on “carbon” and to
increase the UN’s “Climate Fund” to which some nations have pledged $9.3
billion. To put this in perspective, the United States just set a new record of
$18 TRILLION in debt and cannot afford to be pledging money to that fund or any
other fund. Most of that debt has been incurred during the one and a half terms
of Barack Obama who just happens to be telling everyone that “climate change” is
the greatest threat to all life on Earth.
“Climate
change” is what the 4.5 billion-year-old Earth has been doing during all that
time and will continue to do. Humans experience it as the “weather” which is
measured in days and weeks while climate is measured in units not less than
thirty years and more often in centuries. Today’s weather prediction is good
for, at best, five days and is subject to change at any time.
As
for all those claims about “global warming” it’s worth keeping in mind that not
one of the computer models cited to prove it has been accurate. There isn’t a
model or a computer big enough to take in all the many elements that compose the
weather anywhere and everywhere on Earth. The weather is always in a state of
flux and change, just as the temperatures during any hour of the day are in a
stage of change.
Here’s a bit of advice. Do not
believe anything that comes out of the UN conference because, scientifically
speaking, it will be a lie. And don’t believe anything the Associated Press
reports on “climate change” because that too must automatically be regarded as a
lie as well.
Whatever Barack Obama has to
say about “climate change” (formerly known as “global warming”) is a lie. It
would be nice to have a President and a government we could
trust.
