A few thoughts with regard to Climate Change

I would like to add a few thoughts of my own to the fiasco called 'Climate Change'.
Its without a doubt one of the greatest deceptions ever devised, on par with such other great delusions
like organized religion etc.
Just for a start we should be very happy that Climate Change is possible, without which neither you or me would even exist. Nor would any other form of live as we know it.
It is my opinion as a Professional Physicist that the entire Climate Crisis is a carefully manufactured
scenario designed to extort massive amounts of money from ordinary people and corporations in order to 'save the planet'. Alone the fact that most politicians have taken to it like ducks to water should ring alarm bells in peoples heads. Let me give a few facts that are eyeopeners, even to
the lay person. I have spent a long time looking at our climate, long before  Global Warming or Climate Change became household words. Just consider, before it was called Global Warming,
the very same data was used to predict a new Ice Age. It was called Global Cooling if I'm not mistaken. A fact conveniently ignored by our mainstream media.
We are being bombarded with predictions of temperature rises, all of which are based on suspect
computer models of one kind or another. The Climate is by far too complex to lend itself to be modeled accurately with our insufficient understanding thereof. I studied Chaos Theory, which
is probably a better starting point to understand Climate. But I digress. Here are a few pertinent points which no proponent of Climate Change can successfully answer.

1. At the moment the average temperature of the planet is about 15 degrees. Agreed by everybody.
    Now what should the ideal temperature of the planet be? Nobody of the Climate Change           
    Advocates ever mentions it. Because they just don't know. And the reason they don't know is that     nobody has told them what it should be. They surly can't figure it out on their own. The global temperature
    has in fact  been decreasing slightly for the past few years. And with our sun entering a low
    sunspot   
    cycle it will get even a little cooler. In some parts of the globe ice is melting while in other parts
    ice is accumulating. The media of course only mentions the melting ice, for obvious reasons.

2. Now lets look at CO2. The new enemy of the planet and its inhabitants. Lets look at some facts
    for a start. Of all the gases in our atmosphere  the CO2 content is  just under 0.04% . (400ppm)
    It is a minuscule amount and the human contribution to it is very small indeed. Its called the       antropogenic portion which according to the IPCC is about 5%. That is then 0.002% of the total
atmosphere. A more realistic figure of the man made contribution is about 3% of the total 400ppm.

    The earths climate is determined exclusively by cyclic events of duration's of a few tens of years
    to a few hundred years. And because CO2 does not increase cyclically but in a monotonic fashion
    any influence of CO2 on the earths climate can be excluded.

    And then there is a thing called a Milenkovitch Cycle, the sun's 11 year sunspot cycles, the     eccentricity of the earth orbit and I can go on and on.

    It is a strange thing indeed that since the end of WW2 when we began to emit more and more CO2
    the earths temperature has not increased. There was a small increase during the 80's and 90's but
   then it decreased again. So the overall temperature rise for the past 70 years was in fact zero.

    The CO2 produced by all mechanisms is not stored in the atmosphere. It is absorbed by a variety
    of things. Limestone, trees, plants, animals including humans (we contain 6% of carbon).
    Coral Reefs also absorb a lot. And do not believe the fake news that Coral Reefs a dying.
    Some die and others are being born. Its a natural cycle. Of course the MSM only shows the dying
    ones.
    Humans breathe in 400ppm of CO2 and exhale 400% more. Maybe its time to start exterminating
    Humans as they obviously produce a lot of CO2.

    CO2 is called a
    greenhouse gas but water vapor is the biggest greenhouse gas by volume by far. The much vaunted
    correlation which is claimed to show that as CO2 is increasing the global temperature is rising
    is totally incorrect. It is in fact exactly the opposite. First the temperature is increasing and then
    with an 800 year DELAY CO2 levels follow. This is a well known fact. As the oceans warm, they
    release CO2. Let me show a few examples of how important CO2 is to the well being of the planet.
    As stated above, present levels are just under 400ppm. If that level should fall below 150ppm all
    plants will die and with them animals and all of humanity. Farmers run very large greenhouses
    where vegetables and other food is grown. In order to increase the harvest, CO2 is being pumped
    into the greenhouse with remarkable success. Bigger vegetables and more of them. It's no secret.
    500 to 600 ppm of CO2 is the level when the vegetables and any other plant or tree grows best.

    When I build my house many decades ago I planted a tiny tree in my garden. It was about 50cm
    high and weighed maybe 200 gram. (About 7 ounces). Today the bottom of the trunk is about
    1.3m in diameter and it might weigh many tonnes. It's 15m tall and its canopy about 20m across.
    So where did all that mass come from? No, it's not from the soil. If the soil would have provided
    the food for its massive growth then there wold be a huge hole in the ground. No missing soil.
    (Scientists have done tests on this very subject). So where did that large increase in its mass
    come from? The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide (CO2)
    absorbed during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis plants convert the sun's energy into       chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules build from atmospheric CO2 and
    water.  There has been a remarkable greening of the planet during the past few years due to the slight increase in atmospheric CO2. NASA and
    other agencies around the world use Satellite imaging to look for such things. And the evidence
    is there for all to see.  Lots of green where only barren land existed before. It has been suggested that the Sahara Dessert  was a green Oasis during a time with much higher atmospheric CO2 content.  The Air inside a Submarine can have a content of about 8000 ppm. The maximum allowed inside
the ISS is 5000 ppm.

One should NEVER confuse pollution from poorly constructed coal power stations or particles from badly adjusted Diesel Engines with CO2 emissions. Here in South Africa, our Electricity Monopoly
runs some extremely dirty old coal fired power stations in the Witbank area, causing widespread disease and many deaths per year if newspaper reports are to be believed. Mainly due to lack of funds the scrubbers were never installed. Lack of funds due to corruption and mismanagement we are told.
 
    Most, if not all of the developed countries have looked after their environment. This is in stark
    contrast to the underdeveloped nations which due to many factors such as overpopulation, poor
    education, corruption and maladministration have a polluted environment where raw sewage is
    being pumped into rivers and oceans. Once working sewage treatment plants were not maintained
    for years and are now defunct. And the developed world is supposed to pay carbon tax to the
    undisciplined, corrupt countries to pay for damages. Sounds like a well thought out scam to me.

This is a work in progress...
