The earth goes through natural heating and cooling phases as recorded throughout human history, and evident in confirmed geology.
How do we know the government is lying about climate change besides the fact that they are making money through fraudulent carbon tax and that they lie about everything?
18,000 years ago almost all of Canada sat under giant thick sheets of ice. Both the Cordilleran and Laurentide Ice Sheets were continuous sheets thousands of kilometres across and several kilometres thick. They melted entirely without human intervention (as did their equivalents in Asia and Europe). They melted so quickly that the rocks upon which they rested (including the Canadian Precambrian Shield) are still rebounding from the rapid removal of their incredible weight. Sea levels have risen over 100 metres during that period separating Alaska from Russia and modifying ocean currents around the globe. The changes we are observing and living through at present are simply the tail end of that monumental transformation and are absolutely in keeping with natural climate change.
Imagine the energy required to melt several continental ice sheets thousands of kilometres across and several kilometres thick, thereby raising the sea level by over 100 metres in just a few thousand years – a blink of an eye in geological time just on the edge of recorded human history. Let the fact that humans had nothing to do with that sink in, and then ask yourself how taxing Canadians and issuing government subsidies to install windmills and solar panels will stop that sort of planetary-scale climate change.
Rather than the disaster that some of you would have us believe has befallen us or will befall us in the future, what we have in fact observed is that access to abundant and reliable energy has increased human life spans, reduced famine and suffering and led to unprecedented levels of prosperity around the globe. Access to secure sources of energy reduces the impact of climate to humans, not the other way around.
Furthermore, if we study what has been happening at the geological level for several million years (we can discuss Earth timelines on a different thread -- I'm just going with what science claims right now and am neither stating I believe or disbelieve it [yet]), we realize that the present period is characterized by an extraordinarily low CO2 level. During the Jurassic, Triassic, and so on, the CO2 level rose to values sometimes in the order of 7000, 8000, 9000 ppm, which considerably exceeds the paltry 400 ppm that we have today.
Not only did life exist, in those far-off times when CO2 was so present in large concentration in the atmosphere, but plants such as ferns commonly attained heights of 25 meters.
Reciprocally, far from benefiting the current vegetation, the reduction of the presence of CO2 in the atmosphere would be likely to compromise the health, and even the survival, of numerous plants. To fall below the threshold of 280 or 240 ppm would plainly lead to the extinction of a large variety of our vegetal species.
In addition, our relentless crusade to reduce CO2 could be more harmful to nature as plants are not the only organisms to base their nutrition on CO2. Phytoplankton species also feed on CO2, using carbon from CO2 as a building unit and releasing oxygen.
By the way, it is worth remembering that ~70% of the oxygen present today in the atmosphere comes from phytoplankton, not trees, contrary to common belief, it is not the forests but the oceans, that constitute the “lungs” of the earth.
People that have been calibrating CO2 metres for 20+ years tell us that our atmospheric CO2 was 400 ppm then just like it is today! If it raised to 406 or even 412 like the government said it might, but ambiguously admits it has not happened yet, it would be onerous if not impossible to measure the minuscule increase in vegetation but if we were to somehow lower under 275 ppm then over 25% of the worlds vegetation would die off which would likely kill close to half of the worlds population!
The Icelandic volcano known as Katla, produces between 12 and 24 kilotons of CO2 per day on its own! Mt. Etna adds about 16,000 tons of CO2 to the atmosphere each day, or 5.8 million tons per year.
1 million tonnes CO2: Mount Etna, Italy, in a quiet year.
42 million tonnes CO2: Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, 1991.
300 million tonnes CO2: all volcanoes in a typical year and the earth happily uses this valuable material and nature quickly restores balance without effort.
The earth goes through natural heating and cooling phases as recorded throughout history which is evident in core samples and yes we we are polluting and destroying the earth and we absolutely should clean up our environment but man-made climate change from CO2 is a hoax to generate fraudulent carbon taxes.
Change my mind.
