The unproven theory that global warming is being caused by man’s industrial activities is a theory supported by alarmists. His opponents, the realists, consider the theory completely unproven, but they are prepared to listen to anything that might confirm it.
This international debate is the cause of much controversy with alarmists insisting their position is sound, while realists say much more concrete evidence is needed. As for the position of the alarmists, two questions must be asked: are they scientifically ignorant or are they involved in deception?
More precise data is needed before trends can be determined
What the alarmists need to do is provide more convincing evidence to support their position. All they are relying on at the moment is current data and comparing it to climate events since the 1890s, when modern temperature recording began.
The main problems with this restricted approach are two:
First of all, the instruments used today to measure attributes such as air temperature, sea temperature, etc. they are infinitely more precise and sophisticated than those used 50 years ago, never mind 110 years ago. So that begs the question: how accurate is data older than, say, 10 years? The alarmists have yet to clarify this point.
The second issue concerns the time period over which the current data was collected. 110 years may provide a start, but that’s it, a start. However, realistically, 110 years compared to the scientifically recognized age of the Earth – 4.5 billion years – is statistically untenable.
To gain a valid and meaningful understanding of recent global temperature changes and future trends in the area of climate change, the absolute minimum time frame for analyzing such data should be no less than a thousand years.
As this is simply not possible, the alarmists are being too free and easy with the very limited information at their disposal. They are making a mountain out of a grain of sand, and the sensitive people in our societies are taking it all in and making the loudest noise. The hysteria is on.
The role of the UN in this deception
Recent reports issued by the UN climate change committee clearly placed the blame for this perceived problem at the feet of the western industrial world. Two reports made in early 2007 pointed to the damage caused by industrial pollution leading to an increase in greenhouse gases and an imbalance between CO2 and oxygen in the global atmosphere. The UN said very clearly that this problem was caused by the ever-increasing expansion of industrial activity in established Western nations and emerging industrial countries, particularly China and India.
No mention was made of other factors that could be responsible for this atmospheric imbalance, factors that could have a profound influence.
First, no mention was made of the prevailing practice in third world countries of massive deforestation. that is, the clearing of forests to allow the land to be used for agriculture. As trees emit oxygen and absorb CO2, they can keep the relationship between these two gases in balance. Trees help control greenhouse gases, something the UN has not yet accepted.
The other factor that the UN did not mention was the explosion of the world population in the last 50 years. In that time, the world population has grown from 2 billion to more than 6 billion. Since the human body converts oxygen to CO2, the omission of this from the UN reports adds suspicion to their motives.
So if man is responsible for any increase in greenhouse gases, then the cause is more than industrial pollution. If the UN were to take a more responsible attitude to this, then it would be much more credible.
Why do the alarmists deceive us?
Why? What do they have to hide?
Why do they continually tell the world that of the ten hottest years on record, six have occurred in the last 10 years? This has been found to be false. NASA recently reported that these 10 hottest years occurred before 1950, with the hottest decade being the 1930s.
What about the influence of volcanoes on the amount of CO2 in the air?
Why do you keep repeating the phrase that more than 5,000 scientists have signed a document saying man-made climate change is happening and ignore the fact that more than 31,000 scientists, including more than 9,000 doctors, have said that is this theory nonsense?
Why do alarmists refuse to answer the basic question: what caused climate change in the previous 12 times it happened during the life of the earth?
After 12 periods of climate change caused by Mother Nature, or for the religiously inclined, God, Allah, Jehovah, why should man’s activities be responsible for present events?
And this last point raises a very important question: what gives alarmists the right to think they can turn back to Mother Nature or God? What gives Al Gore and his ilk the right to play God?
And why don’t the religious leaders of the world say anything about this?
This is an attempt to balance the ongoing international controversy that is the theory of man-made climate change.
