In the 15 century, Pope Julius (and others) decided to build the biggest and best Basilica befitting the “Holy Roman Catholic Church”.

This of course, was a very costly exercise. In order to raise the necessary cash, priest in all of Europe would forgive sins for money. No dastardly deed could not be “absolved” for a considerable “consideration of cash.

Then like now: Your sins are forgiven, but you must pay for “Carbon Credits”.

Come on, suckers.

CO2 is generally as a byproduct of warming as seas warm and release gases, which leads to times of plenty as plants thrive and expand their ranges and provide more food for fauna, increasing biodiversity. By contrast, cooler periods are times of want, tracked in human history by wars for food, pestilence and famine.

The 0.03% CO2 content of the atmosphere is minimal and has less impact and is lower in volume than, for example, methane given off by termites (who outweigh humans by 30x). During much colder periods, such as the Ordovician, CO2 content was 10x higher than today.

Man is arrogant indeed if he feels he can influence weather, except on a very local basis, such as in urban heat islands, where much of the data have shown an increase in temperature, as cities grow and generate more heat. The atmosphere is not warming, the seas as a group are not warming, the Antarctic ice sheet has never been bigger or thicker, Greenland’s ice sheet is thickening, the 160,000 glaciers are both advancing and retreating and Polar Bear populations have grown 5-fold since the 1970’s.

Let’s have a little respect for facts and scientific method instead of using computer-generated predictions (none have been accurate), manipulated by investigators whose paychecks, perks and prominence depend upon keeping the funds flowing from misled concerned individuals and from politicians and corporations reaping 10’s of $billions from enviro products, taxes and control.

Is this “global warming, Mars style” and do Martian SUVs, power plants, and industries cause it? Hardly, but the “environmentalists” think so. Some even blame it on us here on Earth.”

As I said before:
- Pluto, Triton, Jupiter climate = GW without SUV (It’s The Sun, stupid !),
- Mars climate = AGW caused by 2 SUV, according to alarmists,
- Spirit = Contributes to 50% of Mars AGW, according to alarmists,
- Opportunity = (See Spirit),

Have a nice day

There’s only one variable that has changed drastically over the last 100 years or so that could explain such dramatic increases in atmospheric CO2 levels. Guess what it is…

I can really use this for my paper on Global Warming. I do also tell the Environmentalists story, and let the others make up their mind.
