Earth Day was declared in 1970 and for
the past 45 years we have all been living in the Environmental Insane Asylum,
being told over and over again to believe things that are the equivalent of
Green hallucinations. Now the entire month of April has been declared Earth
Month, but in truth not a day goes by when we are not assailed with the
bold-faced lies that comprise environmentalism.
Around the globe, the worst part of
this is that we are being victimized by people we are told to respect from the
President of the United States to the Pope of the Catholic Church. Their
environmentalism is pure socialism.
Organizations whom we expect to tell
the truth keep telling us that “climate change is one of the biggest global
security threats of the 21st
century.” This was a recent statement by
“world leaders” like the G7, a group of finance ministers and central bank
governors of seven advanced economies, the International Monetary Fund, Canada,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States. On April 17 they adopted a
report about the “threat” put together by think tanks that included the European
Union Institute for Security Studies and the Wilson Center in Washington,
D.C.
When I speak of “climate” I am
referring to data gathered not just about decades, but centuries of the Earth’s
cycles of warming and cooling. When I speak of “weather”, the closest any of us
get to it other than today’s, are local predictions no longer than a few days’
time at best. The weather is in a constant state of
flux.
Climate change is not a threat and
most certainly there is no global warming. As Prof. Bob Carter, a geologist at
James Cook College in Queensland, Australia, has written, “For many years now,
human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In
truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor
scientific, but a self-created political fiasco.”
The fact that the Earth is now into
the nineteenth year of a natural planetary cooling cycle seems to never be
acknowledged or reported. “The problem here,” says Prof. Carter, “is not that of
climate change per se, but rather that of the sophisticated scientific
brainwashing that has been inflicted on the public, bureaucrats and politicians
alike.”
In a
book I recommend to everyone, “Climate for the Layman” by Anthony Bright-Paul,
he draws on the best well-known science about the Earth noting that “Since there
is no such thing as a temperature of the whole Earth all talk of global warming
is simply illogical, ill thought out, and needs to be discarded for the sake of
clarity. The globe is warming and cooling in different locations concurrently
every minute of the day and night.”
“Since it is abundantly clear that
there is no one temperature of the atmosphere all talk of Anthropogenic Global
Warming (AGW) is simply an exercise in futility.” A look at the globe from
either of its two poles to its equator and everything in between tells us with
simple logic that being able to determine its “temperature” is impossible. The
Earth, however, has gone through numerous warming and cooling cycles, all of
which were the result of more or less solar
radiation.
The Sun was and is the determining
factor. The assertion that humans have any influence or impact that can
determine whether the Earth is warmer or cooler is absurd.
The Earth had passed through warming
and cooling cycles for billions of years before humans even existed, yet we are
told that the generation of carbon dioxide through the use of machinery in
manufacturing, transportation or any other use is causing the build-up of
“greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere. We are told to give up the use of coal,
oil and natural gas. That is a definition of
insanity!
Here’s the simple truth that most
people are not told: The Sun warms the Earth and the Earth warms the atmosphere.
As for carbon dioxide, the amount
generated by human activity represents a miniscule percentage of the 0.04% in
the Earth’s atmosphere. There has been more carbon dioxide in the Earth’s
atmosphere—well before humans existed—contributing to the growth of all manner
of vegetation which in turn generated oxygen.
Without carbon dioxide there would be
no life on Earth. It feeds the vegetation on which animal life depends directly
and indirectly. As Anthony Bright-Paul says, “A slight increase in atmosphere of
carbon dioxide will not and cannot produce any warming, but can be hugely
beneficial to a green planet.”
The Earth’s atmosphere is
approximately 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen, 0.9% Argon, 0.04% Carbon Dioxide, and
the rest is water vapor and trace gases in very small amounts. They interact to
provide an environment in which life, animal and vegetable, exists on
Earth.
When you live in a Global
Environmental Insane Asylum, you are not likely to hear or read the truth, but
you can arrive at it using simple logic. We know instinctively that humans do
not control the waves of our huge oceans, nor the vast tectonic plates beneath
our feet, the eruptions of volcanoes, the Jetstream, cloud formation, or any of
the elements of the weather we experience, such as thunder, lightning, and other
acts of Nature.
Why would we blindly assume or agree
to the torrent of lies that humans are “causing” climate change? The answer is
that on Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, we will be deluged with the propaganda
of countless organizations worldwide that we are, in fact, endangering a
“fragile” planet Earth. We hear and read
that every other day of the year as well.
The achievement of the human race and
the last 5,000 years of so-called civilization is the way we have learned to
adapt to Nature by creating habitats from villages to cities in which to survive
and because we have devised a vast global agricultural and ranching system to
feed seven billion of us.
As for the weather, John Christy, the
director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama, says
he cringes “when I hear overstated confidence from those who describe the
projected evolution of global weather patterns over the next one hundred years,
especially when I consider how difficult it is to accurately predict that
system’s behavior over the next five days.”
“Mother Nature,” says Christy, “simply
operates at a level of complexity that is, at this point, behind the mastery of
mere mortals—such as scientists—and the tools available to
us.”
Whether it is the President or the
Pope, or the countless politicians and bureaucrats, along with multitudes of
“environmental” organizations, as well as self-serving “scientists”, all aided
by the media, a virtual Green Army has been deliberately deceiving and
misleading the citizens of planet Earth for four and a half decades. It won’t
stop any time soon, but it must before the charade of environmentalism leaves us
all enslaved by the quest for political control over our lives that hides behind
it.
We must escape the Environmental
Insane Asylum in which they want us to live.
