We Know the Climate Alarmists Are Scam Artists. But It’s Worse Than That.

It’s difficult to know what’s worse about the climate change scam – the false science or the equally false claims that there’s something humans can actually do about it.

The scientific scam has been well exposed at this point. There was a slight warming trend from 1985 to around 2005, although there’s nothing unusual about that. Since 2005, there has been a slight cooling trend but, again, that’s not unusual. These warming and cooling trends are caused by solar cycles, ocean currents, and volcanic activity. These large and complex forces can create induction zones where warm saltier water moves under colder less saline water to change surface temperatures, which in turn affect temperatures at lower latitudes as cold arctic water moves further south.

None of this has anything to do with CO₂ levels, which have never been shown to have any measurable impact on climate. All of these changes are normal. In fact, much more extreme changes such as the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Warming Period have been proved to have occurred centuries before any industrial or manmade output of CO₂ or methane.

As if fake science were not bad enough, we have the ridiculous proposals for dealing with this non-problem as reported here. Green New Scammers claim that wind turbines, solar modules, and electric vehicles (EVs) will provide a non-carbon-based sustainable alternative to oil and gas.

That’s demonstrable nonsense. If you have an EV, the vast majority of its electric charge comes from oil, gas, and coal-burning plants. So, there’s no reduction in carbon emissions. All you’re doing is shifting the emissions from the engine to the electricity plant, but the emissions are the same. (Never mind the waiting time at charging stations, which can be hours even for 30-minute charges because there’s a line of cars ahead of you).

The chemicals needed for batteries include lithium, cobalt, copper, nickel and more. The energy and water needed to mine those chemicals is greater than the electricity saved by the finished product. Not to mention the poisonous by-products and the fact that all of the lithium in the world won’t be enough to manufacture more than a small portion of the batteries needed to power the cars envisioned with batteries.

The list of non-feasible, non-economic, and highly-polluting aspects of the “green” revolution in power sources goes on. The whole thing is a scam driven by greed, ideology, and a hidden agenda of transferring wealth from rich to poor countries without any input from voters and citizens. The Green New Scam will fail sooner than later. In the meantime, we’ll just have to put up with the latest elite fantasies.
