Heartland Institute Takes on ‘Climate Totalitarians’ at U.N. Summit: ‘A New Religion’

From the article: “As for a U.N. official’s claim at the conference that 20 of the last 22 years are the hottest on record, Taylor said that is because the U.N. is using data only back to the start of the 20th century instead of going back thousands of years where you can find time periods that were warmer than in recent years.”

That is actually wrong. Previous measured temperature and published temperature records shows that the 30’s was warmer than today, 36 was the warmest year ever measured and 1998 was #2 – that was before they started to adjust, torturing and doctoring the records (see the video at the bottom).

Experts and scientists joined the Heartland Institute’s excursion to Katowice, Poland, this week for the United Nations (U.N.) COP24 conference on climate change. But the free-market think tank set up shop a few blocks away from the conference site so they could make the case against the U.N.’s agenda to fight so-called manmade climate change.

James Taylor, senior fellow for environment and climate policy at the Illinois-based institute, welcomed those watching the four-hour live stream climate and policy briefing and said it was important to be in Poland to push back on a “gathering of the world’s global collectivists, the climate totalitarians, the global ruling class elites.”

“What they want to tell us is that humans are creating a global warming crisis that necessitates people sacrificing affordable energy, people sacrificing abundant energy, and people sacrificing their own individual and national rights turned over to the global climate bureaucracy,” Taylor said.

Taylor said the institute’s goal was to counter the U.N.’s theory about manmade climate change with some cold, hard facts, which speakers discussed and showed in the form of charts and graphs, including some of the U.N.’s own findings.

“It’s ironic that in today’s world that if you test an alarmist’s theory or prediction and if you present real-world evidence that contradicts it you’ll be called a denier,” Taylor said. “You’ll be told that you’re attacking science.”

Taylor said the group was armed with plenty of scientific facts, including those to counter the U.N. and other environmental activists claims that wildfires, hurricanes, and droughts are linked to manmade climate change.

In 2017, for example, the federal government said, the “drought in the U.S. fell to a record low this week, with just 6.1 percent of the lower 48 states currently experienced such dry conditions,” USA Today reported.

As for a U.N. official’s claim at the conference that 20 of the last 22 years are the hottest on record, Taylor said that is because the U.N. is using data only back to the start of the 20th century instead of going back thousands of years where you can find time periods that were warmer than in recent years.

Taylor had a copy of a Berkeley Earth map that shows the United States has good air quality across the country compared with some nations with air that is classified as “very unhealthy” or “hazardous.”

Those are the “same nations that lecture the United States about how we need to embark upon collectivist climate and energy policy, collectivist global solutions,” Taylor said. “We have United Nations figures telling us that populism is horrible and we need to all get behind the United Nations’ global governance.”

The United States has mitigated how to deal with pollution very successfully, Taylor said.

“The world should be beating a path to the door of the United States, where not only are emissions going down, but freedom is being protected and sustained, energy is affordable and abundant, and the economy prospers,” Taylor said. “The human condition is lifted up without the restrictions the United Nations seeks to impose on the little people — you and me.”

Horst-Joachim Lüdecke, a spokesman for the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), said climate change zealots had created a “new religion.”

“The religion of manmade global warming is not supposed to be questioned,” Ludecke said at the press briefing. “Instead of this, they propagate worldwide action for establishing extremely expensive programs to reduce C02 emissions.”

“There is no scientific proof” of manmade climate change, Ludecke said, “It is only a hypothesis.”

“Therefore there is no need for any policy for reducing, regulating, or taxing CO2,” Ludecke said.

Dennis Avery, director of the Center for Global Food Issues, said mankind had improved the environment in many ways.

“Humans didn’t find a safe world and make it dangerous,” Avery said in a preview of his presentation on Tuesday. “We found a dangerous world and made it safer.”

“‘Natural’ is not necessarily better,” Avery said. “The Greens are offering no viable reason why famines will dominate the coming centuries since global crop yields are continuing to rise.”

The institute also released a report, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Fossil Fuels, put together by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC). 

“Over 100 scientists contributed to the nearly 700-page volume documenting how fossil fuels have provided spectacular net benefits to human health, human welfare, human living standards, and the global environment,” Taylor wrote of the report.

Is-The-Global-Temperature-Record-Credible

 

The earth cools by convection, not by taxing diamonds (carbon-tax).

What is convection?

Ascending (moist) warm air like hurricanes, tropical storms and typhoons are all caused by energy from the sun, it’s the way the surface of the earth cools. Energy, or heat is transported up in the atmosphere, dispersed and later radiated and lost out in to space. It doesn’t come back. There’s no “old” heat re-heating the surface of the earth, never!

Cold is not warm and something already warm can not get warmer by something that is colder.

CO2 doesn’t prevent heat (energy) from leaving the atmosphere, nor does it delay cooling, – unless, of course, it prevents or delays typhoons, hurricanes and tropical storms.

Warming by CO2 is so ridiculous I find it not credible that grown ups with an IQ over 84 actually believe in that nonsense because the science is so easy to understand and get access to.

Why do CO2 lag behind temperature?

71% of the earth is covered by ocean, water is a 1000 times denser than air and the mass of the oceans are 360 times that of the atmosphere, small temperature changes in the oceans doesn’t only modulate air temperature, but it also affect the CO2 level according to Henry’s Law.

The reason it is called “Law” is because it has been “proven”!

“.. scientific laws describe phenomena that the scientific community has found to be provably true ..”

That means, the graph proves CO2 do not control temperature, that again proves (Man Made) Global Warming, now called “Climate Change” due to lack of … Warming is – again – debunked!
