Hello.

I came across an article on the alternative newspaper website Druthers. In it, it talks about the politics and true nature of anthropogenic climate change. I think it's an interesting read. I will provide the content of the article below.

...........

The UN, via Western governments, is engaged in a pervasive agenda to villainize carbon dioxide (CO2), in particular, as the leading cause for “climate change” and environmental degradation.

Their climate agenda is focused on mankind’s use of “fossil fuels,” a false, politically expedient attribution because petroleum and natural gas are neither fossil in origin nor scarce. That misrepresentation fosters fear of impending global energy shortages, rising average world temperatures, extreme weather events, and flooding due to rising sea levels as the polar ice caps melt.

These created fears become justifications for massive taxation and investment in so-called “green” energy alternatives that are economically and environmentally unsound as substitutes for naturally occurring energy sources. The international Green Climate Fund (GCF, 2010) established under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, 1992) is intended to finance “green” environmental initiatives in developing nations, but little if any success or accountability is reported because results are impossible to measure and verify. It is the same for domestic carbon taxation and spending. The GCF, “cap and trade” schemes, direct commercial carbon emission levies, and carbon taxation buried in the cost of consumer goods are deceptive socialist wealth transfer programs that concentrate wealth and control with governments and vested corporate interests. Ultimately, those interests must control governments and marginalize opposition. Control implies enforcement and surveillance to ensure compliance.

Formal meetings of the UNFCCC parties (UN climate summits) known as the Conference of the Parties (COP), began in 1995 (COP1) and have continued annually to assess the implementation progress of the Kyoto Protocol (1997), followed by the Paris Agreement (2015). Canada withdrew from Kyoto in 2011 under the Harper Government, but PM Trudeau signed the Paris Agreement in 2016. COP29 will meet in November 2024. Participating nations agreed to raise revenue and reduce CO2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act that became law on June 29, 2021, is Canada’s UN commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Citizens in Western nations are awakening through whistleblower exposure and a good sense that the science behind anthropogenic (man-caused) climate change is politically motivated fabrication and a massive government cash grab. Consider the statement by Christine Stewart. As Canada’s Federal Minister of the Environment (1997-1999) during the Chrétien Liberal government, she was Canada’s signatory to the Kyoto Protocol in December, 1997. Kyoto is an international treaty that resulted from the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit (UN Conference on Environment and Development) that ratified the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Stewart implied that it is acceptable to fabricate climate statistics for political ends.

Stewart pushed for action on the Kyoto Accord on behalf of Canada, improvements in the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the Species at Risk Act, and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. However, she also fueled the fires of climate change skeptics when, in [December] 1998 she told editors and reporters of the Calgary Herald, “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change [provides] the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.”

In November 2009, hackers accessed a server at the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the UK’s University of East Anglia and released raw meteorological data to the public. The ensuing scandal revealed that mankind’s contribution to climate change is insignificant. CRU data had been deliberately altered to convince the public otherwise.

Russian research immediately following WWII was translated into English in about 1953. It revealed that oil and natural gas are not “fossil” fuels from long-buried decomposed life of the past. Rather, they are naturally occurring, regenerating hydrocarbons forced upwards under great pressure through cracks in the earth’s mantle and deposited in relatively porous sedimentary ground formations. When those deposits are depleted by human extraction, they eventually replenish in the same way they were created in the first place. Hydrocarbon energy sources are not scarce; they are sufficiently abundant to last the life of the planet. The issue is not hydrocarbon fuel scarcity. Rather, it is responsible stewardship that would be more environmentally friendly and cost-effective than heavily subsidized expensive alternative “green” energy infrastructure. For further information, see The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth of Fossil Fuels by Thomas Gold (1999) and Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil by Jerome R. Corsi and Craig R. Smith (2005).

Hydrocarbons are abiotic—meaning not the result of photosynthesis that is necessary for biological (life) processes. Without photosynthesis, the carbon cycle could not occur and oxygen-requiring plant and human life could not survive. Vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in order to survive and then off-gases oxygen. Humans are the reverse, which is a reason why vegetation is so compatible with human life, especially in high population density areas. So, plant trees and save the rainforests. In a video posted on October 4, 2023, Dr. William Happer, professor emeritus of Physics at Princeton University, even referred to carbon dioxide as the “gas of life.”

Carbon is the fourth most abundant element in the universe. It is typically found bonded with hydrogen, the most abundant element. Abundant hydrocarbons are the result, including fuels that produce CO2 when burned. Being abiotic, hydrocarbon fuels are found independently of life processes where fossils are not found except incidentally and/or where light does not penetrate (e.g., ocean floor gas vents and the earth’s mantle). The earth’s atmosphere consists of only 0.041% (or 410 ppm) carbon dioxide, the two major atmospheric elements being nitrogen and oxygen (78.1% and 20.9%, respectively). Atmospheric CO2 does indeed vary with location relative to human activity and its nature. It is estimated that the average annual increase in CO2 to the atmosphere due to human activity is very small—only about 0.4% of the natural 0.041% CO2 level (i.e., less than 2 ppm of 410 ppm).

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 1988) defines its role as follows: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for the assessment of climate change. It was established by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in 1988 to provide the world with a clear scientific view on the current state of knowledge in climate change and its potential environmental and socio-economic impacts. In the same year, the UN General Assembly endorsed the action by WMO and UNEP in jointly establishing the IPCC. The IPCC reviews and assesses the most recent scientific, technical and socio-economic information produced worldwide relevant to the understanding of climate change. It does not conduct any research nor does it monitor climate-related data or parameters.

Ottmar Edenhofer, an IPCC official, made these revealing statements several days before the 2010 Cancun COP16 summit, saying the agenda driving climate policy is wealth re-distribution, implying global economic socialism:

“First of all, developed countries have basically expropriated the atmosphere of the world community. But, one must say clearly that we redistribute de facto, the world’s wealth by climate policy. Obviously, the owners of coal and oil will not be enthusiastic about this. One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore … Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be renegotiated. Climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth.”

The IPCC and Al Gore were joint recipients of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for raising awareness about the claimed man-caused “global warming” (the expression used then) crisis. Gore did that by undertaking a travel campaign to show the 2006 documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, featuring himself. He stated in the film that global temperature increase follows carbon dioxide increase, but science proves the reverse; that temperature increases occur before carbon dioxide levels increase, signifying that the human factor in climate change is insignificant. But carbon dioxide is not the only targeted villain. Methane (CH4) is the main component in natural gas. Even cattle are being targeted for methane from their flatulence and because animal protein production is accused of having an unacceptable carbon footprint. Furthermore, naturally occurring water vapour is a more significant contributor to the earth’s greenhouse effect than is carbon dioxide and methane.

Unlike the IPCC, a UN climate assessment and reporting organization, the World Economic Forum (WEF, 1971) is an independent non-governmental organization that promotes public-private partnerships (PPPs) and cooperation generally in order to implement the UN’s Agenda 2030 seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDG17). It was adopted by all member states in 2015 for implementation in cooperation with the Paris Accord. SDGs are being implemented downstream to the municipal level in Canada (and beyond) through local Mayors and Councils, making them UN proxies.

The politicized “climate change” agenda’s focus on decarbonizing society and misrepresenting necessary hydrocarbon fuels as “fossil” in origin also implies sub-agendas: population control, “smart city” urbanization, electrification of transportation and nearly everything else, food production control, weather modification, and more. One might then ask: How is the climate agenda consistent with massive unregulated immigration? Is it possible that decarbonization is actually about something more frightening than climate?

Well, I needed my laugh for today.
There are many physicists who agree with that article. Start with Dr William Happer, Dr Steven Koonin, the late Dr Freeman Dyson just to start with. Canadian biologist Dr Patrick Moore has an excellent biological understanding of carbon cycling. Dr Dyson died four years ago but any of his points he argued for is in that article.
 
Yet another conspiracy theory linked to climate change - more about that:


Climate change: Why the conspiracy theories are dangerous​


Abstract:
Uncertainty surrounds the public understanding of climate change and provides fertile ground for conspiracy theories. Typically, such conspiracy theories assert that climate scientists and politicians are distorting or hijacking the science to suit their own purposes. Climate change conspiracy theories resemble other conspiracy theories in some respects, but in others they appear to be quite different. For example, climate change conspiracy theories appear to be motivated by the desire to deny or minimize an unwelcome and threatening conclusion. They also appear to be more contentious than other types of conspiracy theories. Perhaps to an unparalleled extent, people on both sides of the issue champion climate change conspiracy theories. Finally, more than other conspiracy theories, those concerning climate change appear to be more politically loaded, dividing opinion across the left-right continuum. Some empirical evidence suggests that climate change conspiracy theories may be harmful, steering people away from environmentally friendly initiatives. They therefore present a significant challenge for governments and environmental organizations that are attempting to convince people to take action against global warming.
