CO2 has about 0.0004% control over our
environment's temperature and that is being generous.
Our planet is getting hotter, but CO2 is very
LIKLEY NOT causing this climate change.
In fact, the IPCC admits that
the surface temperature of the OCEANS is the main culprit of global
warming. And that all the GHG gases in the atmosphere have only
contributed to just 1% to the global heating
problem. CO2 is a fractional percentage of global warming.
If we were to stop burning all fossil fuels
and go to "green" energy only, we would NOT stop global warming.
Even the IPCC admits that eliminating carbon
emissions will not fix the climate problem.
So go get a copy of The IPCC Summary
for Policy Makers and you will find these statements that
you politicians have missed.
From IPCC SPM Document
A 4.2
“Ocean warming
accounted for 91% of the heating in the
climate system, with land warming, ice loss and
atmospheric warming accounting for about 5%, 3%
and 1%, respectively (high
confidence)”
Yes. It is kind of hidden in there.
"Atmospheric (all GHG's) warming accounting for
only 1% of our temperature rise"
And here is where they admit that removing man
made CO2 will not fix the problem, if you understand that CO2 is a
0.0004% player, CO2 cannot reduce the ocean temperature enough to
make any difference.
From IPCC SPM document
D 1.6
“If global net negative
CO2 emissions were to be achieved and be sustained, the global
CO2-induced surface temperature increase would be gradually
reversed but other climate changes would continue in their current
direction for decades to millennia (high confidence). For instance, it would take
several centuries to millennia for global mean sea level to reverse
course even under large net negative CO2 emissions (high
confidence).”
How is it that human-caused CO2 could heat the
upper layer of the oceans in 60 years, but it will take centuries
for it to cool? All
of mankind’s emissions cannot increase the heat of the upper
layer of the oceans, which covers two thirds of the earth.
So, to fix our hot climate, we have to cool
the upper surface of the oceans, so you are not addressing the real
cause of the climate problem.
The main flaw of these Climate politicians is
that they only talk about global average temperature. By itself,
average temperature is meaningless. You need to open your eyes,
take off the blinders, and look at the bigger picture.
Our global temperatures ranges from -80 F to
+120 F which is a 200 F degree swing.
200 F degrees divided by a 2 F degree change
equals a 1% shift.
This means instead of being -80F, it only got
to -78F in Antarctica.
Instead of Death Valley being +120F, it got to
+122F.
There is still a huge swing in min and max
temperatures over the seasons
A 1% change does not destroy the world. The
artic still freezes over every winter.
Thermal radiative forcing is fiction. This is
where they forgot about the inverse square law.
None of the facts support CO2 as being the
main actor in the climate change disaster fairy tale.
Declaring that it is "Likely" 113
times in the SPM document is not scientific proof.
CO2 has been wrongly villainized as a climate
threat for political gain.
CO2 makes plants happy. Plant more trees to
scrub the CO2 from the earth.
So why are we destroying our state and country
by forcing everyone to immediately go to a zero-carbon footprint
when it will not lower the temperature of our
climate one bit.
A 50/50 solution would be better at this time.
Electric cars and trucks are great for short trips with light
loads. Gas cars and trucks are necessary for the long haul and
heavy loads, since EV batteries would be too big and heavy to be
practical.
We need both gas and electric vehicles, please
just let the free market do what it does best. This is the land of
the free and you are over stepping a critical boundary without real
cause.
No law needs to be mandated,
rather a strong recommendation would be better.
Please, rescind all of your
Zero mandated laws against fossil fuels as they are founded upon a
false premise.
Do not forget to build 1,000 natural gas power
plants a year, and every year, for the next ten plus years to feed
all those hungry EV's.
Not a scientist, just an Engineer. The math
does not add up.
