Larry Bell’s excellent article on the nonsense in Glasgow the next two weeks.
What is so crazy about all this is that major players like Russia, China, and aerospace companies like Lochkeed-Martin have suggested that pure fusion technology is in reach. If there was a genuine concern about CO2, we should be working towards radically scaling back coal power plants by substituting modern, safe, fusion nuclear plants. Those would give is reliable, plentiful electricity to power the grid and electric cars... probably for less money than what we pay today. Electric motors are far more efficient than internal combustion engines, (Gasoline power engines are like 20% efficient and electrics are 99% efficient) so there would be a lot less waste heat as well.WH: More CO2 has clearly been a benefit for life on Earth, and even more will be better. People are made largely of carbon, about 20% by weight, and each of us exhales about two pounds of CO2 per day.
To call CO2 “carbon pollution,” is truly Orwellian newspeak of a climate cult: “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.”
Greenhouse operators learned long ago that doubling, tripling, or quadrupling the concentrations of CO2 greatly enhanced plant growth and quality. These benefits are even greater outdoors – particularly under arid conditions – since plants with more CO2 require less water.
Thanks to some gradual CO2 enrichment, satellites reveal substantially added forest and agriculture greening that benefits people and animals.
Unfortunately, CO2 gets a bad rap as a dangerous atmospheric “greenhouse gas.” These are gases that are mostly transparent to sunlight, but which have significant opacity to thermal radiation that sheds Earth’s solar heating back to space.
This is different from the main atmospheric gases, nitrogen, and oxygen, that are transparent to both sunlight and thermal radiation.
Since greenhouse gases hinder the escape of thermal radiation to space, alarmists tell you that we will all fry if you don’t stop breathing, driving your SUV, and other activities that release CO2 into the atmosphere.
What alarmists don’t tell you, is that CO2 is a very feeble “trace” greenhouse gas at current concentrations, and that doubling the concentration will only diminish the added radiation to space by about a piddling 1%... a 1.6 degrees Fahrenheit change which you can’t even notice.
Climate scaremongers attempt to turn this trivial CO2 molehill into a threatening mountain by inventing hypothetical, but entirely unproven, computer model “positive feedbacks” caused by water vapor (including clouds) that that they claim to multiply CO2 warming influences by factors of three or more.
Each passing year, as the Earth warms more slowly out of the last Ice Age than predicted, these fanciful model-premised feedbacks become more and more silly.
The nuclear plants we have today are very old technology. In my heart I firmly believe that the establishment is holding back advanced safe affordable nuclear technology... in that oil has been used as their global mechanism for power, money, and control. Scarcity is the establishment's route to power money and control. Safe, affordable fusion power would destroy scarcity and their basis for power, money, and control.
That's the part I just don't understand. If you punch me in the face once, I'm not likely to vote for you again.
