So it is clear that some of the heating is indeed caused by us. Cleaner air is allowing more sun to heat the earth’s surface. We need to start polluting the atmosphere to stop climate change then.
No, we don’t need to pollute. We just need to be aware that more CO2 and trivial increase in warmth, (likely now reducing) are beneficial to all life on Earth. Including penguins and polar bears.
Including penguins and polar bears and pensioners.
An interesting juxtaposition – all creatures living in freezing conditions.
But the ECHR has recently ruled that pensioners are killed by warm weather! Why would they need any heating? It’s dangerous for them!
Yep, and we should get all that oil out of the sea bed and burn it, quick, before some undersea earthquake releases it into Our Precious Oceans!
A pleasure to read such calm common sense. One of the most upsetting realisations of my life is the utter corruption of the scientific method by vested interests. From being the glory of western civilisation. I now find increasingly I belive nothing, Chri5 Morrison is a ray of light in the gloom.
Very few scientists are saying men cannot become women, so why should we believe anything the rest of them are saying these days.
Another great article from Chris and yet the net-zero, climate doom bandwagon is now like an enormous oil tanker set on a course to wreck society for reasons unrelated to climate, it will not be easy to stop the relentless path of this horror Juggernaut. Yes, for sure, we need facts like this to show what is happening but I am not sure how we stop the net-zero scam from progressing on its relentless, sinister path to misery?
A constant and unrelenting barrage of facts, graphs, and more facts to counter their ludicrous arguments is our only hope, I’m sorry to say.
But we must NEVER give up!
We need to record carefully the names of every single supporter of this CAN Bill.
One of the things that has been most lacking for the last twenty years has been accountability.
CAN Bill backers have painted a target on their own backs.
If and when there is a public mood for retribution for all the damage done by those who have maliciously promoted this abject “destroy the West” nonsense agenda, there will be a need for accurate records of those who have promoted and profited from it.
Come on mister down voter..explain your self
Thank you for being a coolly logical, and almost lone voice in recent years, Chris. A year ago at a private dinner I asked a Tory leadership contender “And who will be paying for the imminent decommissioning of wind turbines and solar panels…poor old taxpayer once again?” Immoderate fool that she is now revealed to be, Badenoch eviscerated me.
The trance of recent decades appears to be breaking, liars and charlatans outed, and facts starting to win the day.
Keep up the great work!
Denis Rancourt (https://denisrancourt.ca) wrote the following about the ‘pandemic’:
In the big picture, this was an unprecedented mass assault against our populations perpetrated by evil design at the highest levels, enabled by the indoctrinated and spineless professional classes (politicians, clinicians, scientists, judges, media, executives…).
Take out ‘clinicians’ and I think the sentence applies equally to Net Zero: it is an unprecedented mass assault against our populations enabled by the indoctrinated and spineless professional classes …
Consequently, one can assume the persons or groups behind these ‘assaults’ are one and the same.
As someone who regularly appreciates Chris’s articles and is in broad agreement with him I would have some caution about the line taken here. In a charged atmosphere of media frenzy one needs to be careful not to fall onto the same trap as them. The cooling described here is too short term to allow any trends to be discerned especially with El Nino involved.
We would like this global warming lunacy to be undone once and for all, but I think it is a little premature to rejoice on the basis of this data.
The UK Government funded Net Zero plans are shown below. UK Government = Civil Service.
Why is it possible for people like Trofim Lysenko and Pol Pot to succeed in their mad plans? Also, in spite of all the damage those two individuals inflicted on humanity both died in their beds. There are now more of them and with people cheering them on.
The Trump effect will sound the death-knell for the Climate Change fraud. With USA breaking ranks, the global (Western edition) united front will crumble. More real scientists will feel confident enough to break cover, and the MSM will have no option but to start reporting truth instead of hyperbole, fear-mongering and Tales of the Apocalypse.
Then there is the “Far Right” in UK & Europe inching its way to Government, coinciding with economic collapse as people shiver in the dark caused by Net Zero.
If something cannot go on for ever, it will stop. But a heck of a lot of damage will be done meanwhile… see CoVid fake pandemic and so-called vaccine.
I look forward to the £multi-million Climate Change enquiry and Mistakes Were Made, Lessons Must Be Learned™️ reports.
The only thing a calling a mathematically calculated change of 0.29⁰C a spike shows is that someone’s using a nonsense scale for temperature values, see attached image.
Interesting article in The Light this month about a company called Telraam based in Belgium with an international reach. Caerphilly Observer in S Wales was looking for volunteers to assist in gathering street data by having one of their devices in their car windows, gathering street & traffic flow data.
“Telraam want all of you to join their community of partners to improve urban mobility, promote smarter transportation and foster sustainable cities”…..Make of that what you will!
Reason alone will not stop this climate change cult. Until the billions of mostly public funding you pay for, dries up, this will continue. Charlotte Gill points out regularly how and by whom public funds are being used by fake charities and non profits to drive this scam.
Instead of investing in carbon capture the government should be investing in creating artificial oil and petrol . We have less than 50 years supply it has been estimated.
