Subject | AB32 Supports a Hoax |
Comment | In September 2006 Assembly Bill AB32, titled the Global Warming Solutions Act, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, principally carbon dioxide (CO2), to 1990 levels by 2020, was approved. This stems from a contention of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that global warming results mainly from burning fossil fuels, pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However 31,487 scientists, including me, a Geological Engineer for half a century, petitioned the government to reject that contention, recognizing it as a hoax perpetrated by those who will benefit financially worldwide from expenditures of billions of dollars to reduce carbon dioxide. They depend on the ignorance of the general public regarding historical geology and climatology to foster this hoax. Reducing CO2 will not effect climate change. Harold Lewis, famous Professor of physics emeritus at the University of California recently resigned from the top professional association for physicists saying “the money flood” has corrupted science and calls global warming a ‘scam’ with the trillions of dollars driving it that has corrupted so many scientists.” “It is the greatest and most successful pseudoscientific fraud I have ever seen in my long life as a physicist.” The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the so-called authority on climate change, yet Vice Chair Yurri Izael in April 2007 wrote, “the panic over global warming is totally unjustified;” “there is no serious threat to the climate.” IPPC reports are not those of its scientists, but are policymakers’ summaries produced by a committee of 51 government appointees, many of who are not scientists. Some of its 2500 scientists have resigned in protest against IPPC summaries, in which these political appointees alter their own scientist’s reviews. The latest example of this type activity occurred in 2009 when computer hackers broke into the computers of the British Hadley Institute, hailed for research of global warming, and it was discovered the Institute manipulated data to cover up evidence that went against their beliefs in man-made global warming. Admitted was that we are not seeing global warming, but rather global cooling. The same evidence appears in graphs showing the start of the cooling trend. From 1850 to 1950 CO2 levels increased significantly, but the temperature rose only 0.1 degree Celsius. The earth has been cooling and is likely to do so for the next couple of decades. CO2 makes up only 38 one-hundredth of one percent of the earth’s total gases in the atmosphere. That 0.038 percent, which Global Warming advocates want to reduce by a smidgen at a cost of trillions of dollars worldwide, is being advocated at a time when the earth is cooling. The Earth warms and cools in 100,000 year cycles. Our planet has mostly been much hotter and humid than today, with far more carbon dioxide (CO2) than today. Earth’s atmosphere now contains about 380 ppm CO2 (0.038%). Compared to former geological times, our present atmosphere is CO2 impoverished. In the last 600 million years only one other geological period witnessed CO2 levels less than 400 ppm. To the consternation of global warming proponents, the late Ordovician Period 550 million ago was an Ice Age while at the same time CO2 concentrations were nearly 12 times higher than today, 4400 ppm. According to the greenhouse theory, it should have been exceedingly hot. . What really affects our climate? During Earth’s formation it was impacted at a low angle by Theia, a planitodail mass a little smaller than Mars. The impact knocked off part of the earth’s forming mantle, which later formed part of the moon. Theia’s impact is responsible for the earth’s 23.5-degree axial tilt, which created the Earth’s seasons. After the impact the remaining mantle fractured, and parts drifting on the earth’s semi-molten surface formed tectonic plates. The plates collided with each other many times and the present set, making up our continents, are still in motion. The earth’s tilt; changes in the way it orbits the sun; variation of the sun’s radiation as it burns up; volcanic eruptions; changes in oceans flows; and melting snow and ice control the earth’s climate. Large numbers of earthquakes occur every year, a reminder that earth is a cracked dynamic sphere, whose parts are constantly in motion, and are all involved in climatic conditions. Considering these factors human attempts to control the Earth’s climate are a pipe dream Joe Sullivan Geological Engineer |
