      CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th part of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"C of heat energy. That is impossible. It also breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics.
      Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible.
      However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, this summer you can see a unnaturally bright sun just as we did last year. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations).
      Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum.
      'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF
      In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists.
      The CO2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few.
      Welcome to the future!
      _________
      I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet.
      Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is.
      When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case.
      NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools.
      (NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology.
      Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.'
      This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).

    Polution and climate have very little to do with one another. I agree that polution is a major killer. His figures are spot on and we'll documented, but it has nothing to do with CO2. Rather with smoke particulates, toxins and NOX gasses. He makes a brilliant point and then also demonstrates what is wrong with the whole narrative. The focus is taken away from polution, which we can do something about right now and redirected to anthropogenic warming. By the way, burning if wood can be equally harmfull

      @@denisdaly1708 I am sorry but you are missing the point. Pollution has nothing to do with climate change. You cannot bundle the two together. When you do, you remove solutions of the table. Let's say that we stop using fossil fuels today and only burn plant material, the CO2 balance will not be affected and atmospheric CO2 will stabilize. Of course this is a theoretical scenario where we can replace the plant material at the same rate as usage. The point being, we eliminated CO2 concentration rise. However, the pollution will remain and the deaths from pollution will remain. Pollution can be addressed through technology, choices and legislation right now. For instance. Rather use a petrol engine over a diesel engine. More CO2, but no particulates or NOX gases. By trying to limit CO2, we make other compromises that are much worse for humanity in the short term. I am all for sustainable energy, but from a pollution perspective, we are focusing on the wrong stuff

The problem is you have get in to the nitty gritty of the IPCC science to understand that the summary reports that supposedly summarize the science are political instruments that bear no resemblance to the original work. There is little proof that there are tipping points and that there’s any emergency. If there were, the earth would have burned up by now as CO2 has been far higher in the past. The truth is we’re being led by a globalist, multicultural and elitist cabal to believe these exaggerations in order to line their pockets. And blaming FF suppliers for particulate pollution from wildfires is crazy. Wild fires are due to humans building in forests which brings human caused fire starting issues (fires, cigarettes, glass, power lines etc), and poor forest management… the IPCC actually state that there’s no correlation between forest fires and CC. The models predicted higher temps and lower moisture in the forest floor, turns out that this is not correct. Anyway, proeve og slap af, tag det roligt, det er like saa slemt som du tror.

    Great talk, except current model estimates are not including:
    1) Aerosol effect that will happen after phasing out fossil fuels. This alone adds 0,2-1,0C more warming and on average that's 0,6C topping current levels.
    2) Tipping points. Some of these have already started: 2.1) Amazon rainforest is not longer a carbon sink, but an emitter (2 current studies). 2.2) Arctic sea ice have likely reduced to point of no return. Arctic sea has already warmed and lost 90% of sea ice volume. 2.3) Permafrost is thawing fast and releases GHG's. 2.4) Arctic seabed is warming and releasing methane to the atmosphere (shallow waters, like ESAS area). 2.5) Greenland is melting and is near lowering enough so any further heating is added with lower elevations. 2.6) Western Antarctica is melting and near or over tipping point. 2.7) Mankind emissions have NOT reduced and even Covid reduction levels have just reduced emissions amount that has to be reduced every year. 2.8) Mountain glaciers in most of the globe are reduced and this will lead to water shortages and extreme weather events like flash floods. 2.9) Western USA is going through megadrought that could start desertification of the area.
    Adding even few of already started tipping points to current models and their predictions are pretty much useless. At low point we could add 1,0C heating, but on higher end 16,0C could also happen. Our current estimates should at least include the lower number, just because changes has STARTED.
    And these points are not single events, but in many cases can enhance each others.
    Most likely 3,5C is unavoidable, but any further emission makes heating and loss of planetary life (including us) even more devastating.

    I am all for reducing pollution, that's pollution from all sources. Chemical waste, sewage waste, plastics, run off from farmers fields, plain old household waste. Fossil fuels account for much air pollution from motor traffic, shipping and air traffic.
    When it comes to forest fires and so on I think he needs to look at the figures from the past and he will see that the US figures for wild fires are at a fraction of what they used to be. The data and figures are readily available and not hard to find.
    The air in the UK is far and away cleaner than it was 70 years ago. That is despite the massive increase in motor traffic.
    I have a feeling this is simply more scare mongering of the kind we have been fed over the past decades. ALL past predictions by 'world class' scientists have proved incorrect so far. The latest gloomsters predictions will be no more successful either.
    The figures quoted for deaths caused by air pollution are just little more than a guess based on the worst possible case assumptions, emotional statements like 'Holocaust scale' levels
    of deaths simply flag this up as bogus.
    No one can say with any certainty what figures are in the real world.
    Over the top reports like this paint such a black, hopeless picture of the future do precicely the opposite to what they say they want. People see all these doom laden predictions and simply turn off.
    The climate has always changed and always will. Does man have an effect? Of course. Is the globe warming at an alarming rate? No. Are sea levels rising ? Yes. But they have been for 20000 years. The past century at a rate of 2mm / year give or take a bit. As it was in the century before. Check the figures.
    Follow the money.
    Historically CO2 levels are not far above the lowest levels ever. I think 280ppm in the 1800's was the low point. The fact we are at 400+ ppm is no problem. Plants, trees, crops all need CO2 to thrive.
    Cut fossil fuel use as much as possible that's fine but don't expect 'green' sources to come to the rescue.
    Nuclear power might do it of course but if that is the plan then we had better get busy.

    • @jdolew
      @jdolew 2 года назад

      wow you've been drinking some strong kool-aid. 400 + ppm is a huge problem and it's going to get worse for sustaining the lives of humans and other creatures on this planet. It's not "bogus" and not "doom-laden". David W-W is one of the few who have distilled the info, backed it up with solid evidence and tell it like it is, but still get labeled as fear-mongers by those like yourself who want the status quo to continue. Most of them/you don't want their comfortable lives disrupted or their profit margins threatened. Read the book like I did and you'll see how he provides the details AND EVIDENCE that he couldn't in this short summary testimony before the Senators. It's fine if you don't "believe" scientists and journalists like Wallace-Wells who understand and interpret science for lay folks ... but don't claim you are a scientist or even a journalist. You have shown zero evidence for your claim that global heating is not rising at an alarming rate. Publish an evidence-based book like Wallace-Wells has and then you come to this discussion with some of credibility. Meanwhile your claims and easy putdowns mean zilch compared to Mr. Wallace-Wells.

Wildfire acreage burned is 1/6th of the average 1880-1930, its been minimized. They have not proven a link between CO2 and any climate change - ice core data contradicts his claims (higher CO2 levels during cold times in the past, and its been warmer in the past than it is now, sometimes with lower CO2).
