Mankind’s desecration is the real emergency

HOW silly of people to deny climate change – the planet has always undergone climate change and will continue to do so!

But the great confidence trick of the 21st century is to claim climate change is currently an immediate emergency threatening all life on the planet.

This outrageous claim demands refuting – regarding carbon dioxide (CO2).

Without this gas in the atmosphere there would be no life as we know it.

It is very sad that so many good folk have been taken in by unscrupulous people and disingenuous politicians and a generation of children are being needlessly frightened out of their wits.

Greta Thunberg’s book is titled No One Is Too Small To Make a Difference, and astute people will know these are the weasel words typical of a politician chasing your vote – they have no meaning in science in the sense that a grain of salt will make no meaningful difference to the salinity of the oceans.

Those who claim carbon dioxide (CO2) to be a pollutant which will bring about catastrophic global warming need to return to their science lessons.

The most significant contribution to the greenhouse effect is water vapour, and all those “wicked” photographs of power station cooling towers emitting lots of supposedly harmful emissions are very misleading.

It is also misleading to claim there is too much CO2 in the atmosphere at 400 parts per million (ppm) for at this level it is roughly one-third for optimum plant growth.

To be sure, about 18,000 years ago the planet came dangerously close to losing all plant life when CO2
