Ed Said - Roll on summer I say

 

It’s not that I don’t believe in climate change; I believe, as history tells us, that climate changes all the time according to the seasons. I don’t necessarily believe that man is able to fix it if, in fact, it is ‘broken’. Every indication tells us it is within normal variables but call it what you like I believe the wheels are falling off this one. 

Those expounding the ‘problem’ are indeed learned but they are hand-picked like-minded people and ‘very likely due to human activity’ is hardly scientific. Science tells us the last billion years the average earth temperature has been 22 degrees. The current average is 14.6 degrees. Thus we are actually in a cold period! There are similarly qualified people among the ‘deniers’ too. Science merely measures the effects but understands not the cause. Then Stephen Hawking reckoned man will be extinct by the end of the century anyway so why worry? 

Not a single prediction of these supposedly brilliant scientists has ever come true. We hear the ‘deniers’ don’t understand the ‘science’, declaring CO2 a pollutant while legislating for zero carbon. Please note, carbon is the basis of life. CO2 is plant food. Carbon-free would kill all plant and life forms. The more carbon in the atmosphere the better for the planet. Our PM might realise this when she’s gasping for her last breath. On one hand she wants everybody out of cars because they contribute to climate change, then on the other she launches an investigation into why it is too expensive to drive a car. Which is it?

At the latest Summit meeting in Bangkok the fighting over billions of dollars to ‘fix’ things ended in disarray. Developed countries are now reneging and refusing to agree to rules governing climate finance. This huge socialist scam is falling apart especially when the climate won't do as the true believers want. 

The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change is now in tatters. The three biggest populated areas (and polluters) in the world – China, India and the USA – refuse to put up $100 billion a year for the ‘cause’. What does that tell you? Not one EU country is on track to meet agreed targets. In fact China, Russia and India are expanding coal production. Germany is razing a 12,000-year-old forest to make way for a coal mine. The USA abandoned the Paris climate accord in favour of coal and other carbon-based fuels while Japan plans to add 40 coal stations to its existing 100. 

Our Aussie neighbours exported 175 million tons of coal last year which will be burned on the same planet as us but nobody's complaining. Our government refuses to open a new coal mine which could become the life-blood of the west coast, yet they are in negotiations to import more coal at the same time committing $1 billion a year for the next 10 years to the climate fund – madness. Treasury estimates it will be $14 billion over that period. 

Despite flawed guesstimates, Arctic sea ice is proving reluctant to enter its appointed ‘death throes.’ A decade ago it was prophesied that arctic summers may be ice-free by 2013 yet actually described as ‘too conservative’. The latest observations show that arctic sea ice is running higher than levels seen a decade ago. In 2011, a British group claimed they had rowed to the North Pole (because there was no ice) when in fact they dragged their boat across the ice to get to their claimed magnetic North Pole destination. The reality was that they were some 790 miles from the correct position of the magnetic North Pole. 

We are told New Zealand has an opportunity to influence others in pursuing a low emissions economy. The world actually doesn’t care what New Zealand does. The planet won’t notice. Neither will the world. Global warming possibly is man-made but by NOW-paid scientists and governments who tamper with data.

When man can control the sun only then can you control the temperature!

Roll on summer I say.
