I know that this horse has been beaten many times, but our self professed betters in Hollywood and in the capitol still think we should believe this crap. Not only should we believe it, we should denounce all of the modern advantages of society and eat our lawns to save ourselves and each other. It is all bunk.

In order to buy in to the hype we have to agree with a few assumptions. First, carbon dioxide is bad,. Then we have to believe that it traps and/or amplifies heat. The earth should stay the same as it is now (or cooler). And finally, if you have accepted the previous assumptions, then you can leap to the argument that humans are causing more CO2. This in turn causes more warmth, which will eventually boil us all. It always comes down to us doesn’t it?

Anyway, we can deal with these pretty easily. CO2 is in fact not bad. Plants need it. If there is more CO2, there will be more plants. If there are more plants, there is more oxygen. Pro tip, you need oxygen. So if we limit CO2, wouldn’t we be limiting pants, and therefore limiting us?  I would argue that is the point of the climate zealots anyway.

The next is that CO2 traps and/or amplifies heat. Here is a pretty straightforward experiment on youtube. I know there are a ton of “Gas in a Bottle” videos out there that look like they prove global warming. But ask yourself this, “Are they done in a vacuum?” The earth is surrounded by the vacuum of space, so experiments that don’t take this into account are full of it. Here it is:

At the beginning of the video he actually grabs the lightbulb in his room. It doesn’t burn him because the filaments are surrounded by as much of a vacuum that you can get in a bulb factory. If you watch the whole thing, you can see that the filaments burn brighter the hotter they get. Makes sense. The chamber filled with CO2 that has the filaments open to the gas are much dimmer, therefore not hotter. If you believe the warming nutsos, that chamber should stay hot, or actually go into a feedback loop and get hotter even after the light is turned off. Not the case.

Moving on, I think it is the height of arrogance for our intellectual giants (John Kerry, Al Gore, etc) to say that right now is the bench mark for climate. The earth has been both hotter and cooler than it is now. So assuming that right now is the baseline, is just convenient for them. Also, I don’t know the last time anyone has looked at a google earth shot of the North and South Poles. Not a lot of greenery there. That goes back to my pro tip, plants make oxygen, which we need. So cooling the planet wouldn’t get us more of what we need. Also, all of those fuzzy cute critters that the left loves so much need oxygen too. Would less carbon dioxide put them in danger?

So the entire thing is really just a way to get power over the masses. I think there a lot of people that have actually been convinced of this hoax, but there are also a lot that just see this as convenient. It is a way to sound like you are helping them, by siphoning off their worth.

That is how most cults operate. I would tell you that climate change (aka global warming) is just that, a cult. It is a belief that no matter what, cannot be disproven. If it rains too much, its climate change, too little, the same. If it gets too hot outside, that one is obvious, but they have even turned the last ice storm in Texas into a climate change event. It is really nothing more than a faith, and you can’t disprove faith.
