Green New Deal - Climate change in general

Back to the subject of global warming 'climate change' or whatever it's called today.

And what it's really about.

What it's always been about . . . 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Beware Global Warming! Not because it will consume our planet in fire but rather because it is a Trojan horse concealing a much more real threat, one that will consume our economy, our democracy and our way of life.

Ever since Michael Mann’s fantasy “hockey stick” temperature graph was thoroughly discredited and since Climategate outed institutional scale phony climate data a decade ago, the existence of actual global warming has been rendered null. The same is true for the impact of CO2 on climate. No experiment can confirm its impact, models can’t predict its influence and collateral data (sea level, animal populations etc.) do not confirm a correlation.

The conclusion must be that man-made climate change and the need to eliminate carbon emissions to avoid climate change simply do not exist.

None of the narrative is based on objective science. It is a massive hoax and maybe the biggest con job in history. All the classic elements of a con job are present;

the victim (mostly liberals and other virtue signalers), the play (appeal to environmental issues), the rope (emotional foundation and persuasion – the world is coming to an end), the convincer (the way it will work to your benefit – eliminate carbon and all is well) and so on.

The dangled payoff is saving the world. As in all con jobs, the con artist gets what he wants and the mark gets nothing.

Like all cons, this one looks good to the rubes. Who doesn’t want to save the world and breathe clean air? The basic problem, even if the basic mechanism of eliminating CO2 to stop increasing temperatures were real, is that it would not achieve what its adherents think it would. Let’s look at some facts.

What if we could reduce CO2 emissions? The U.S. produces only 15 percent of the carbon emissions in the world. The rest we have no control over. That leaves 85 percent of emissions in place after spending trillions of dollars.

Most, if not all, of the big proposals for reduction of Carbon emissions by reducing CO2 are simply impossible, impractical or ineffective. Eliminating coal fired electrical generating plants in the US is just one example. The cost of shutting down the US coal industry with the attendant loss of jobs and downstream business would be astronomical. What impact would it have globally? Seventy three percent of India’s electricity is generated from coal fired power plants. India has no plans to reduce its production and consumption of coal. Coal India Ltd. will produce 660 million tons of coal next year, increasing to one billion tons by 2022 - 2023.

In other words, if the U.S. destroyed its economy and eliminated all coal fired electricity production, whatever CO2 reduction that might net would be offset by the increase in coal consumption by India alone. The Chinese Belt and Road Initiative, the largest civil engineering project in the world, will include 700 new coal fired power stations. When they are all in operation, these plants could consume an incredible 1.8 billion tons of coal a year. So why are the US and the UK risking catastrophe in their economies when whatever they eliminate will be more than replaced elsewhere?

This, then, brings us to the final piece of the global warming con – what role do the Green New Deal and related decarbonization programs play?

The components of the GND are staggering in magnitude, cost and audacity. They include such “modest” proposals as shutting down the entire coal, oil and natural gas industry, requiring all housing and buildings to be rebuilt and reinsulated, eliminating all gasoline cars and trucks, forcing populations to relocate to urban areas, controlling population by selective abortion and it just goes on.

The reality of many variants of the Green New Deal and all the other absolutely preposterous proposals is that they are not even intended to address environmental issues. Note how often you see the word “justice” associated with certain proposals. Social justice, environmental justice, economic justice and racial justice to name a few. These are code words that lead one back to One World Government socialist theology and redistributive economics. The idea, in a nutshell, is to transfer enormous sums of money and other resources from first world countries in the West to third world and developing nations. Rest assured that a significant portion will find its way into the pockets of the charlatans promoting this con through choking the energy needs of the industrialized nations and transferring that wealth to developing nations. This is done by socialist redistribution in the name of the nebulous concept of sustainable development.

It was, and is, necessary to create the “existential crisis” of global warming in order to scare the multitudes into following the socialist elites blindly down the path of economic destruction to global governance.

Only in the recent round of hysteria have the concepts of Marxist redistribution been introduced and the whole concept of environmental concern been taken over by a political agenda.

If one is to examine the GND closely, it speaks of five goals and three of them are solely focused on some type of social or economic “justice” rather than an environmental outcome. The two environmental goals use language quoted from UN literature. Much of the current virulently Marxist bent of the GND is related directly to the 1992 UN Earth Summit from which came the infamous Agenda 21 that pledged “to change the way people live, eat, learn and communicate, all in the name of saving the earth from mankind’s mistakes, particularly global warming.” So, tying all of what we have said together let’s see what we have.

There is no demonstrable or provable pattern of net temperature change over a millennium so it cannot be said that we’re confronted by catastrophic global warming or cooling.

While CO2 may have some impact on global temperature, its exact influence is not known and cannot be accurately modeled. In any case, CO2 is not the sole or dominant driver of global temperature so that controlling CO2, if it could be done, would have little predictable impact on temperature.

No accurate predictive model of global temperature exists because the system is too complex and too many variables are either unknown or their influences and relationships are not understood.

If spending untold trillions of dollars on reducing CO2 in this country actually did reduce CO2 output, that reduction would be offset many times over by increases from developing nations such as China and India that have every intention of dramatically increasing their CO2 output.

Reliable engineering calculations show very convincingly that the chance of replacing carbon energy sources with renewable energy is exactly zero.

The current global warming narrative has been hijacked by Marxist One World Order extremists to press their revolution to destroy industrialized nations and to redistribute wealth to developing nations and create a world government.

Within the above context, we can see much more clearly that powerful Marxist forces forces are using the construct of a manufactured climate crisis, populist environmental language, and public fear to prosecute their political agenda which is to destroy the Western world and create a One World Order, nirvana to a Marxist, where a group of elites run the world. That’s the con.

The origins of the Green New Deal can be traced back to the Earth Summit of 1992.

And with Agenda 21 being backed by, among others, George Soros, it's not a huge surprise that someone whose platform clearly rejected the globalist view, would be targeted in such a large scale by the opposition.

It's pretty laughable that the party that embraced Bill Clinton and pals Weinstein and Epstein, would use the moral high ground as the foundation to attack Trump.

Ice ages, tropical periods & the always changing climate...

A study on variations of tilt of earth's axis, variations of the eccentricity of earths orbit and the precession, or 'wobble' of the earths axis

The three variables

Eccentricity ...deviations in the Earth’s elliptical (elongated) orbit from a symmetrical, circular orbit.

Obliquity ...The angle of the Earth’s axis is referred to as its obliquity. If the obliquity of the Earth equaled zero (no tilt at all), the Earth would have no seasons because no variation in temperature would occur. During the winter, the Northern Hemisphere (where most of the Earth's landmass is) is tilted away from the sun, receiving solar radiation at more of an angle. This results in colder temperatures and more extreme temperature changes. During the summer, the landmass is tilted toward the sun, resulting in warmer temperatures and less extreme changes. The cycles of obliquity last 40,000 years and the tilt itself varies from 22 to 24.5 degrees.

Precession

Precession describes the slight wobble in the Earth's axis caused by the moon and other planets in the solar system. Precession cycles change the times of perihelion and aphelion, causing increases and decreases in seasonal contrast. When a hemisphere is oriented toward the sun at perihelion, extreme differences in seasons result, and this pattern is reversed in the opposite hemisphere. The Earth’s axis wobbles in cycles that last 26,000 years.

Within the past few centuries, improvements in both scientific instruments and more comprehensive observations of the heavens have also helped astronomers to determine (with extreme accuracy) what the nature of Earth’s orbit is.

Information from above sources (my comments bracketed);

Changes in orbital eccentricity affect the Earth-sun distance.

Eccentricity measures deviations in the Earth’s elliptical (elongated) orbit from a symmetrical, circular orbit.

When the orbit is highly elliptical, the amount of insolation received at perihelion would be on the order of 20 to 30 percent greater than at aphelion, resulting in a substantially different climate from what we experience today.

If eccentricity is zero, an orbit is circular.

As an orbit becomes more elliptical, its eccentricity gets closer to one.

The two most important distances between the Earth and sun are described as perihelion, or the point in Earth's orbit when it's closest to the sun, and aphelion, or when its the farthest away.

The difference between these distances is called eccentricity. The Earth’s eccentricity varies from 0.0005 to 0.06, and the larger this number, the more solar radiation reaches the surface of the Earth.

Eccentricity cycles last between 90,000 to 100,000 years.

Currently, a difference of only 3 percent (5 million kilometers) exists between closest approach (perihelion), which occurs on or about January 3, and furthest departure (aphelion), which occurs on or about July 4.
This difference in distance amounts to about a 6 percent increase in incoming solar radiation (insolation) from July to January.

Earth is 5 million kilometers (3 million miles) farther away from the sun at aphelion than it is at perihelion.

Currently, summer in the Northern Hemisphere occurs near aphelion, so differences in temperature are less extreme and the climate is mild.

Sixteen thousand years ago, winter occurred in the Northern Hemisphere at aphelion, and there were extreme differences in temperature.

The shape of the Earth’s orbit changes from being elliptical (high eccentricity) to being nearly circular (low eccentricity) in a cycle that takes between 90,000 and 100,000 years.

[ This extremely long eccentricity cycle affects the earths climate. There's nothing we can do to change this. ]

As the axial tilt increases, the seasonal contrast increases so that winters are colder and summers are warmer in both hemispheres.

Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun.

But this tilt changes. During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years, the tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees.

Because this tilt changes, the seasons as we know them can become exaggerated.

More tilt means more severe seasons—warmer summers and colder winters; less tilt means less severe seasons—cooler summers and milder winters.

It's the cool summers that are thought to allow snow and ice to last from year-to-year in high latitudes, eventually building up into massive ice sheets.

There are positive feedbacks in the climate system as well, because an Earth covered with more snow reflects more of the sun's energy into space, causing additional cooling.

[ Another very long cycle that we can't change ]

Precession

Changes in axial precession alter the dates of perihelion and aphelion, and therefore increase the seasonal contrast in one hemisphere and decrease the seasonal contrast in the other hemisphere.

[ Then we have axial precession. Another variable that affects our climate over long periods.
Consider how all three of these orbital and rotational variants may affect earths climate when they interact together in ways that may create extremes... like a completely tropical planet or a completely ice covered planet etc. ]

The combined effects of the cycles of eccentricity, obliquity and precession cause changes in weather patterns on Earth.

Scientists believe that these differences may account for the movement of glaciers as they repeatedly advance and retreat across the continents, affecting the Earth’s long-term climate cycles.

Milankovic Cycles are slow variations in the Earth's rotation and tilt.

These cycles include changes in the shape of the Earth's orbit, as well as the angle and direction of the axis on which the Earth rotates.

These variations occur slowly and regularly, causing cycles of change in the amount of solar radiation (heat) that reaches the Earth.

Scientists believe these cycles may affect long-term weather patterns, or climate.

Needless to say, Earth’s rotation and orbit around the Sun are not as simple we once thought.

It’s only been with time that the true nature of our planet’s inclination and movements have come to be understood. And what we know is that they lead to some serious variations over time – both in the short run (i.e. seasonal change), and in the long-run.

The only emergency I see with Fonda is when all that plastic surgery caves in on itself and she ends up looking like her brother Peter.

Hoax....

The Australian fires must really be a big pie in the face of the celebs that had to get tweet out what they thought were actual photos of the entire continent pretty much ablaze, only to find out it was an artist rendering. Mix in 20+ individuals were arrested for arson, and they jumped right into a big vat of horse crap.
