An email that I received today from The CO2 Coalition organization provides four plots of global temperature versus either CO2 emissions or the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere that send a clear signal that CO2 at the concentrations long found in the atmosphere has little effect upon the temperature. I want to be sure that my friends and relatives have an opportunity to see this very important data.
The consequences of pursuing net zero carbon emissions are catastrophic economically. In addition, without mankind pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the long term trend was CO2 atmospheric concentrations so low that plants could not survive. In 1850, atmospheric carbon dioxide was so low that plant life was hanging by a thread. As the CO2 Coalition has repeatedly pointed out, farm production has benefited greatly due to the increased CO2 emissions of mankind since WWII. The failure to use coal, natural gas, oil, and nuclear power results in the cost of all activities dependent upon energy increasing. The carbon dioxide emissions due to carbon-based fuel use decrease the cost of food because their emissions are fertilizer for plants in addition to decreasing many processing and delivery costs in food production. With 8.2 billion people on this Earth, a net zero policy will result in mass starvation.
One wonders at the severe consequences of the highly irrational policies of those supporting the myth of catastrophic man-made global warming. Some of these people know what they are doing and they do not care as long as they gain power, wealth, or damage the capitalist system and the private sector. Others have adopted policy beliefs without fulfilling their responsibility to understand what they are doing before they undertake actions with catastrophic consequences, commonly exercising force to make others comply.
The only climate change we need to fear is the start of the next Ice Age.
