The CO2 Lie

Editorial - January 5th, 2010 - Investors.com

Climate Change: A new study shows that Earth's ability to absorb carbon dioxide from all sources, including man, has remained unchanged for 160 years. As it turns out, there may be no carbon to offset.

A major tenet of the global warming religion, straight from the Book of Gore, has been that the ability of the earth to handle increasing CO2 emissions is finite and that once the "tipping point" is reached, the earth will warm uncontrollably. Well, another climate domino has fallen — the myth that man-made CO2 is leading to climate catastrophe.

The overwhelming generation of CO2 comes from natural sources. Man is a tiny contributor. Plus there is strong evidence that our planet has had much higher CO2 levels in the past with no bad consequences. In fact, the dramatic period of the Cambrian explosion had extremely high CO2 concentrations, close to 100 times today's levels. If CO2 is bad for the planet, why was it so high during the greatest period of species creation our planet has experienced?

The global warming fanatics are loath to address such clear conflicts with their chicken little theories. However more and more actual scientists are proving the basis for the AGW fallacies are false. The latest to be soundly disproven is the CO2 lie.

Another Editorial from two days ago, Time to re-examine that 'settled' science in the Orange County Register, takes a similar position on the lack of validity of the AGW theorists. It notes scientific articles touting the contributions of "chlorofluorocarbons and cosmic rays" to temperature levels.

Both of these articles subvert the idea that climate change, up or down, is impacted by mankind in anything but a trivial and local way. They also refute compellingly the idea that "global warming" is "settled science" for any but the global socialists who are using fear of this fraudulent theory to gain political power.
