Global Warming: Politics, Science, Loot

There is a lot more to the "catastrophic anthropogenic global warming" (CAGW) scheme of things than what you typically read in the papers or see on television news. Tonight I focus on the politics, the (uncertain) science, and the loot.

First, politics:

”Many individuals, including a large portion of environmentalists, believe that a purely technological approach to stablizing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere could lead to social apathy towards climate change.

Ted Parsons, a professor at the School of National Resources and Environment at the University of Michigan, writes that the promises of air capture could carry a ‘moral hazard’ because political pressure for near-term efforts to curtail climate change may be reduced.

Air capture also addresses one of many factors adversely affecting the environment. The climate crisis is a powerful tool to motivate change - like checking the ever-expanding global population and excessive resource consumption - and if the urgency of climate change is compromised, other environmental projects may fall by the wayside.”

Thus we have the reasoning as to why the science issues on Climate Science have been mostly ignored - the issue is not about climate science. The goal is to use the term “global warming” (with “climate change” used to make the concept cover all aspects of climate) not to ”motivate” change, but to force the public and policymakers to adopt specific policy and political actions that promotes particular agendas. ___ClimateScience

Next, the uncertain science:

"Runaway greenhouse theories contradict energy balance equations," Miskolczi states. Just as the theory of relativity sets an upper limit on velocity, his theory sets an upper limit on the greenhouse effect, a limit which prevents it from warming the Earth more than a certain amount.

How did modern researchers make such a mistake? They relied upon equations derived over 80 years ago, equations which left off one term from the final solution.____DailyTech

Finally the loot:

There’s money to be made by cultivating a green image. And there’s lots of money to be doled out to researchers studying climate change and new energy technologies.___NYTimes

Just ask Al Gore: he, can, tell, you, plenty, of ways to make money on a convenient scam. Not bad, if you have the cold blood to pull it off.

Climate change is a euphemism referring to a jigsaw puzzle that is lacking most of its pieces. Some people can take the puzzle, pretend it is solved and complete, and turn the world into their own private paradise. Woe to the others, though. Everyone else.
