The Boogeymen of Doom - Climate Hysteria - Part 1

Climate Hysteria Has Nothing To Do With Environmentalism
I want to start this segment by again stating that we are environmentalists and very dedicated to sustainable design and living. I am not a Climate Denier, so let me state my position for the record:

• Climate Change is occurring and has been occurring relentlessly for billions of years
• The climate is warming and has been warming since the end of the last Great Ice Age 12,000 years ago.
• Cave persons did not cause the Great Ice Age and humans are not responsible for the 12,000 year global warm period we are enjoying today.
  
• Human activity and fossil fuels may be contributing to or accelerating the current warming trend
• However, warming and increased CO2 will actually benefit humanity with longer growing seasons, increased food production and faster regeneration of forests.
  
• Warm is good and cold is bad for civilization.

The Climate Change Boogeyman
In the 1970's , the climate 'experts' were predicting that burning fossil fuel would cause another Ice Age by the year 2000.  When that didn't happen they did an about-face and switched from Global Freezing to Global Warming.

Here is an apocalyptic warning from a senior UN environmental official.  He states that "we have only 10 years to solve the greenhouse effect before it’s too late".  If we don’t act immediately then, within 30 years, global temperatures will increase by as much as 7 degrees and the sea level will rise by 3 feet and seacoast cities like New York and Los Angeles will be underwater. Pretty scary stuff!  If only there was a shred of truth to the prediction.
 
Comically, this 30 year prediction was written 33 years ago in 1989.  The sea level has actually risen a bit over 3 inches in that time. Big, BIG,  FAIL.  You can’t make this stuff up.   https://apnews.com/bd45c372caf118ec99964ea547880cd0

Their prediction that the Himalayas would melt in ten years was so spectacularly incorrect that Al Gore needed to find a more vulnerable target.
 
Mount Kilimanjaro is near the equator in one of the hottest, driest climates on Earth.  Surely, the glaciers there would soon disappear. So, in 2006 Al Gore (the Profit of Doom) stated that there would be no more snow (or glaciers) on Mount Kilimanjaro by 2016 (the typical 10 year timeframe).  Well it’s 2022 and the snow is still there.

By 2010 it was pretty obvious that Global Warming wasn't really an existential threat to humanity so the globalists switched the narrative again to ... Climate Change.   This is a brilliant way to confuse and deceive people because the climate is always changing.

The predictions of so called "Climate Scientists" have been totally incorrect for more than 50 years. But the U.N. keeps coming out with new doomsday predictions.   More on that next time.
