I would say get out your pencil and paper, but Progressives don't do pencil and paper, it might promote a tree being cut somewhere. So get out your smart phones for not-so-smart users, and try to keep up.

Are the denialists seriously claiming that today's global heating is just coincidence and has nothing whatever to do with the CO2 we are pumping into the air?
Short answer? YUP!

Longer answer - the amount of CO2 that humans emit is MINUSCULE and is incapable of causing the effects that Climate Alarmists are stating…


And - as you can see - and this has been acknowledged by every reputable climate scientist - it is Water Vapor that is the principle component of Greenhouse Gases!

Lets do some simple sums on the undeniable facts about CO2… ( I love climate math)

CO2 takes up around 0.04% of the atmosphere. 400 ppm is about 0.04% No argument there.

There are about 750 gigatons of CO2 released into the atmosphere every year – the majority of it from natural sources. No argument there.

Now there are several figures for human created CO2 - depending on who you ask and believe – but it is reasonable to state that it is somewhere between 6 gigatons and 40 gigatons - but either way it remains insignificant, as I will demonstrate:

So get your calculators out team…

Now I am prepared to give the CAGW Alarmists a fair go here - and if it is 40 gigatons that is anthropologically caused, then that means that 5.33% of all CO2 emitted comes from human causes – 5.33% of 0.04% is still ONLY 0.0021% of the atmosphere is CO2 that comes from human causes…

It is simple math and no matter how you slice and dice it - it remains infinitesimal and such a tiny amount simply CANNOT cause the effects that it is accused of!

Global Warming is the greatest fraud ever put upon the American Public. The Commies in government, academia, and corporate America, push it mercilessly. " Climate Change " has happened continuously since the Earth was formed.

Now you've done it. A math equation has no feelings. Can't talk about climate change without feelings. How the elites gonna use an equation to take over more of your life and make it easier for us to live everyday? Come on man!

Smedley, You're being silly! You don't seriously think that common sense is very common, do you?

I would like to know why they refuse to look at nature's own contribution to the record unless it blows their well-oiled BS out of place. The whole of the west coast is part of the ring of fire and is releasing built-up gases all the time. We live on a living planet that is constantly growing and changing some times large changes we see and most we don't that happen over time. Instead of scaring the crap out of people they need to help them step back and watch and appreciate the world we live on. Yes we need to continue to strive to lessen our impact on this world but we also need to enjoy the wonder that is our home

Among Nature's Wonders, that climate freaks demand be ignored:

High geothermal heat flow beneath Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica inferred from aeromagnetic data.
Geothermal heat flow in the polar regions plays a crucial role in understanding ice-sheet dynamics and predictions of sea level rise

The Arctic Ocean warms from below.
"The quiescent deep water of the Canada Basin is warmed and mixed by geothermal heating."

Newly released research, primarily from NASA and the GFZ German Research Center for Geosciences, indicates that melting of selective Greenland Glaciers is related to geologically induced heat flow, and not manmade atmospheric global warming.

ALL this data will never make it to the general public. But I do appreciate the info thanks for posting it

I have always felt this is a cycle earth is going through slowly but surely where we live will maybe be more like Siberia. Poles will melt and plant life will flourish once more. Everything grows and changes animals grow and change AND adapt to the environment they live in and so do humans we all live and servive by adapting

Just a small thought, trees for paper generally come from tree plantations planted for pulpwood. That smart phone you mention uses far more earth resources than a pulpwood tree. When one has an agenda one can never hear the other argument of the side not in total agreement.

The paper also rots back into the environment. Not the cell phone.
